Top performers

“Over the next two weeks, we will understand how our players match up with other golf programs in the region. The Moroccan players have always led the way in being the top performers in Arab golf. By having this opportunity to train and compete against our Moroccan brothers and sisters we will know what is working well or needs improvement. I want to thank the Moroccan Golf Federation which has welcomed the EGF with open arms. We look to continue these training camps with all the Arab Golf Federations,” General Alhashmi added.
