Golf DXB PGA Golf Professional, Aaron Williams, is leading this group. Aaron is working closely with the UAE National Team coaches, David Condon and Greg Holmes to monitor the progress of these talented youngsters as they progress through the EGF National Team and Development programs.
On the Foundation Squad Aaron Williams said, "It has been very rewarding to see a group of beginners develop so quickly and really get hooked onto the game. From here we will look to introduce the players to the full golf course, getting competent at Par 3 length and then look to move to modified tees. Tuition wise, we will be keeping a close eye on set up fundamentals whilst gradually introducing work on swing mechanics and golf specific fitness that are suited to the individuals within the group."
Greg Holmes, UAE Nationals Team Head Coach said, “The introduction of the Foundation Squad is another positive step taken by the EGF. With the help of Golf DXB we are reaching goals and seeing the interest of golf growing amongst UAE Nationals. This Foundation Squad is a great way to award the children who are dedicated and this will add to the process of developing a strong National Team”.
Looking forward, the EGF and Golf DXB will continue to introduce the game at a grass roots level through schools. These school visits are sparking interest for children to get involved in the introductory classes. Both organizations are very excited about the introduction of The Foundation Squad, and the pathway to elite performance that has been created.
The golf lessons run every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm with the Foundation Squad playing on the course from 6:30 to 7:30pm on Saturdays.
