I was delighted to see so many Saudi Golfers competing, and a testament to the Golf Saudi’s goal of growing the game, and this on the same day that leading Saudi amateur, Saud Al Sharif won the men’s Jordan Open Golf Championship, a great achievement. The support we received from the Golf Saudi operations team at the Dirab course was truly first class.”
