Yas Links invests in golf academy upgrades


Louise Oakley, October 25th, 2011

Yas Links Abu Dhabi has invested heavily in high-tech teaching tools and sophisticated custom-fitting technology to become one of only two clubs in the region to use Trackman, the industry standard for accuracy in club and ball flight measurements.

Yas Links’s new academy will also boast the UAE’s largest number of fully certified Trackman professionals — counting five of the region’s 10 PGA Professionals among its team of expert teaching staff.

Chris White, general manager of Aldar Properties (Golf Division), developer of Yas Links, commented: “We are very proud of our team of professionals as they not only hold high-profile golf venue expertise, but also possess remarkable golf operations acumen —all of which has enabled us to put Yas Links and our academy firmly on the golfing map”.

Steven Morgan, new head golf professional at Yas Links, added: “We are very excited about officially opening our improved golf academy and upgraded practice facilities. Since the very beginning, Yas Links has been committed to becoming a one-stop shop for any golfer, scratch player or beginner, looking to improve their game and play a world Top 100 Course.”
