Qatargas has announced its support for the Junior Golf Program run by the Qatar Golf Association (QGA) for the sixth season in a row.
Qatargas’ support for the programme is aimed at helping to increase the popularity of the game of golf in Qatar, especially amongst the younger generation. Promoting and supporting sporting activities is an important element of Qatargas’ corporate social responsibility programme.
In recent years, the company has been actively supporting a number of evolving sports activities in Qatar that include chess, badminton and ice-hockey in a bid to nurture young talents and contribute to popularising these games in the local community.
“We are very pleased to continue our support for the Qatar Golf Association’s Junior Golf Program as part of our corporate social responsibility initiatives in the field of sport. We believe that our support will help in making the game of golf even more popular amongst the younger generation in Qatar. Qatargas’ support for various sporting activities is aligned with the objectives of the Human Development pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030,” said Azzam Abdul Aziz al Mannai, Public Relations Manager, Qatargas.
Mohamed Faisal al-Naimi, Executive Director of QGA, thanked Qatargas for its continuing support.
“We thank Qatargas for its ongoing support for the Qatar Golf Association’s Junior Golf Program. This is the programme's sixth season in a row. The objective is to improve the standard of golf among the juniors with various teaching programmes and weekly competitions throughout each golf season. Qatargas’ support will definitely help our objective to see a whole new team of young Qatari golfers trained and equipped for future,” al-Naimi said.
The QGA in co-operation with Doha Golf Club organises weekly golf competitions throughout the year, except during the summer period. The QGA's junior players as well as junior members of the Doha Golf Club participate in these events.
QGA also held a two-week training camp in France for its junior team.
As part of the programme that started in September last year and runs till May 2016, young boys and girls will benefit from golf education, etiquette and training in addition to weekly golf events. The objective of the QGA is to build new talented young Qatari golfers to become national team players.
Qatargas believes its support will help improve the standard of golf among the juniors.
