New Academy opens at Palm Sports Golf Resort

Palm Sports Golf Resort in Al Ain created a new chapter of history

Palm Sports Golf Resort in Al Ain created a new chapter of history at 3 pm on Friday the 2nd of April in more ways than one. Not only did it see the opening of our fantastic new Academy Course, but it also seen dozens of Parents and spectators witness the launch of our new junior initiative.

30 kids teed it up in our first ever junior competition since the club opened its doors 3 years ago. The tension was running high as it crept nearer and nearer the 3 o’clock shotgun start and the most nervous looking expressions belonged to the parents and they weren’t even playing.

As a novelty, all of the kids involved in the JDP coaching program struck the opening shot at the same time to the sound of the horn. There were some fist pumping and even a few tears but after it was all said and done there was no kid without a smile from ear to ear.

We had 30 kids play on Friday’s event which was way beyond our expectations. These numbers confirm that there is a supply of kids in Alain that are just waiting to learn and participate in our wonderful game. The opening event is the first in a long line of new ideas for the Palm Sports Juniors.
