Yas Acres Golf & Country Club triumphs in thrilling Round 2 of Golf Sixes League
Abu Dhabi City Golf Club recently hosted the second round of the much-anticipated Golf Sixes League, Abu Dhabi, where seven teams from across the Abu Dhabi and Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) regions competed for top honours.
The Yas Acres Golf & Country Club team triumphed in Round 2, edging out Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting, and Golf Club by a narrow two-point margin. After a tense count-back, the home team, Abu Dhabi City Golf Club, secured third place.
The Golf Sixes League is a dynamic development initiative designed to introduce young players to golf in an exciting and inclusive environment. Originally introduced by The R&A and now managed by the EGF, the format features a Two-ball Texas Scramble stroke play over six holes.
Each round sees squads of 12 players rotating through a team of six, with the best two scores of three pairs counting towards the overall team total.
Kieren Pratt, representing the EGF, praised the atmosphere at the event: 'It was an incredible day at Abu Dhabi City Golf Club, filled with energy from the players and the support of their families and friends.
"This initiative is gaining real momentum in the capital's golf scene. We're proud of how far we've come and are excited to see how this model can be expanded across the UAE.'
He also expressed gratitude to Henry Law, Head Pro of Abu Dhabi City Golf Club, for hosting the event and helping ensure its success.
The day was further marked by the presence of Cameron Van Rooyen, EGF National Coach, and Kieren Pratt, who were on hand to support the young golfers.
The Golf Sixes League will return on Saturday, April 5th, 2025, at Yas Links Abu Dhabi.
