Amna Al Marzouqi has been adjudged the Most Improved Golfer at a Junior Development Programme session, organised by the Emirates Golf Federation, at the Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club.

The talented youngster fought off a strong competition from over 30 girls which made up 73 juniors who participated in the coaching session which lasted last eight weeks.
Amna, who diligently attended every class, was quick to learn the basics of the game and demonstrated a marked improvement every passing week.

The coaching sessions, which are held at different clubs, are part of the ambitious National Junior Programme which was launched last year to give young Emiratis an insight into the game with lessons on rules, etiquette and sportsmanship.

“It was nice to see these youngsters respond to the classes with enthusiasm. And that’s what mattered to us,” said Saeed Albudoor, general manager of the Emirates Golf Federation.
“We are not expecting results overnight. We want the children to have fun while learning the basic of the game. At the same time we want them to have a feel for competition which is so important to improving their game.

“I would like to congratulate Amna for winning the award which, I am sure, will motivate others to work hard on their game.
“We, at EGC, would also like to thank all the clubs for their support in promoting the game among national juniors. Such initiatives will go a long way in unearthing fresh talent for our junior teams,” added Albudoor.
