REHC and Bareeq Al Retaj to Build Bahrain's Premier Golf Course
In a game-changing announcement for Bahrain's sporting future, the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club (REHC) has revealed plans to build a world-class golf course at its Riffa facility. The move is set to put Bahrain on the map as a top destination for sports tourism while adding a new dimension to the Kingdom's growing sports scene.
The deal was sealed by REHC CEO Yusuf Osama Buheji and Bareeq Al Retaj Real Estate Company CEO Yousif Bucheeri, with Spanish golfing legend Sergio Garcia on board as both the designer of the course and its brand ambassador. The project is part of REHC's broader vision to strengthen Bahrain's standing in international sport.
Buheji highlighted the project's strategic importance, noting its alignment with the goals of the REHC High Committee, led by His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. He added that the golf course will diversify REHC's sporting offerings and contribute to the Kingdom's economy by attracting sports tourism and investment.
Bucheeri called the collaboration a major step forward for Bahrain's sports infrastructure, building on the REHC's success in hosting elite horseracing events. Expanding into golf marks an exciting new chapter in the club's commitment to sporting excellence.
The new course promises to enhance Bahrain's reputation on the global golf stage, drawing top-tier tournaments and professional players to the region. As Bahrain continues to develop as a sporting hub, this project is set to play a key role in shaping the Kingdom's future as a destination for world-class events.

Russell blasts Verstappen's aggression
George Russell made clear on Thursday that if Max Verstappen is banned from racing it would be his own fault and an entirely justified outcome due to his reckless driving. The Briton, who clashed with the four-time world champion last season and again at the Spanish Grand Prix earlier this month, said he believed the Dutchman had attempted to scare him when he rammed his Red Bull into Russell's Mercedes. 'He was trying to run me off the road,' said Russell, speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix. 'I don't think he was trying to intentionally crash into me. He wanted to just sort of scare me a bit, but he just misjudged it. 'Again, it wasn't going to scare me, it was all just a bit surprising. I'm not looking for an apology. His actions cost him -- and they benefitted me. So I should be almost thanking him! 'Obviously, I'd be feeling very differently if it took me out of the race, but it is good to see that he took accountability. I was a bit surprised about that.' Verstappen avoided talking about the incident after the race, but admitted on social media 24 hours later that he had done something that should not have happened. He was penalised and dropped from fifth to 10th and was also given a three-point penalty on his driving super-licence, taking him to 11 points. If he reaches 12 in the next two races he will be given a onerace ban. 'It wouldn't be unjust,' said Russell. 'At the end of the day, that's why the penalty points are there. If you keep driving recklessly you will accumulate points and get punished with a race ban. 'You've got it in your own hands and it doesn't go without risk.' Russell added that he did not expect Verstappen to change his aggressive style. 'I don't think so, but it depends on the circumstances, doesn't it? When you are going for a championship, it's slightly different. 'That's why I believe he wasn't intentionally trying to crash into me. He was just trying to get his elbows out and show who's boss, but he got that wrong –- Jos (Verstappen's father) is the boss!' Russell said he had briefly spoken to Verstappen since their clash, but they did not talk about the incident. 'We bumped into each other at the airport on Sunday morning when I was going to Roland Garros. To be honest, I totally forgot about Barcelona because he was there with his new-born and we were at the security machine. 'We just had a quick chat and then he was busy folding the pram down to put it through the machine.'

Marquez 1-2 as Marc extends lead in Aragon MotoGP stroll
AFP | Alcaniz Six-time world champion Marc Marquez eased to victory over his younger brother Alex in the Aragon MotoGP yesterday to extend his lead in this season's title race. Marc Marquez led from start to finish on his Ducati to record his seventh win in this race from 11 starts and his fourth victory of the campaign. He leads h i s brother by 32 points after eight of the 22-race programme with two-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia, who was third, 93 points adrift. Marc is well set for a seventh world title which w o u l d bring him level with Valentino Rossi and one shy of the record held by the latter's fellow Italian Giacomo Agostini. 'Yes a perfect weekend,' said Marc Marquez, who became the first rider since he did the same in the 2015 German MotoGP to top all the practice sessions, take pole and win the race. 'I was more serious than usual as I felt I couldn't afford to make mistakes. 'I rode in a very good way,' added Marc, who ended a three-race losing streak. The two brothers got off their bikes halfway round the victory lap and jumped into each other's arms, though, unable to kiss as they still had their helmets on and sending the 50,000 spectators wild. 'To be brothers and Spanish in front of a home crowd is extra special for me,' said Alex Marquez, who at 29 is three years his brother's junior.
