No place like home: Yas Acres triumph on familiar fairways in 2025 Golf Series League
The energy was high and the competition fierce as the Grand Final of the Golf Sixes League, Abu Dhabi unfolded at Yas Acres Golf Club on Saturday, April 19, 2025. Young golf enthusiasts from clubs across Abu Dhabi, along with rising talents from the Emirates Golf Federation, teed off for one last round in what has been an exhilarating league season. After four action-packed rounds of spirited play, it was Yas Acres Golf & Country Club who stood tall, earning the coveted title of 2025 Overall Champions. The Golf Sixes League, initially launched with the support of The R&A and now championed by the Emirates Golf Federation, is all about blending competitive spirit with fun. The league provides junior golfers with an exciting, inclusive format that's both engaging and developmental. Seven squads, each with 12 players rotating a team of six for each round, battled it out in a two-ball Texas Scramble stroke play across six holes. For scoring, the top two results from three pairs were counted toward each team's final tally—bringing strategy and teamwork into every shot. And it all came down to the final round. After a day of stellar sportsmanship and skill, the Yas Acres squad clinched the win in round four, which catapulted them to the top of the leaderboard and sealed their place as the season's best. "It was a fantastic afternoon of fun and good sportsmanship," organizers shared, celebrating both the competition and camaraderie that defines the Golf Sixes League.
