IN preparation for the yearly-awaited Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, part of the European Tour, Commercial Bank and Education City Golf Club are gearing up to welcome Qatar Schools Golf Championship, scheduled to be held on February 22.
The said championship will run in two sections with the first for experienced junior golfers, who possess a golf handicap, to be played on the 18-hole championship course. As for the second section, it will be a team event and take place on the 9-hole Par 3 golf course for less experienced junior golfers who may have recently picked up the game.
In addition, children with no prior golf experience can come along and give golf a try at Education City Golf Club, a brand-new course ready to host Commercial Bank Qatar Masters 2020 for the first time.
Rhys Beecher, director of Golf Education City Golf Club, said: “We have been working hand-in-hand with Commercial Bank to ensure that this year’s Qatar Masters is different, new and upgraded. Our activities and goals always involve and include children in the first place; encouraging them to play and participate in such activities and championships that help them adopt a healthy, active lifestyle.”
To partake in the championship, teachers are required to register their teams of pupils directly with the Education City Golf Club.
Abeer AlKalla, head of Corporate Communications and CSR at Commercial Bank, stated: “Through this initiative we emphasise our commitment to support younger generation’s growth. The championship will highlight the benefits of golf, in terms of improving concentration, and inculcating values like patience and persistence.”
Anthony Caira, head golf professional, Education City Golf Club, emphasised the importance of such events and added: “Investing in the talents and skills of today’s children is nothing but an investment in how the future would look like tomorrow.”
