Coaches' opinion
Abdullah is great fun and company on a golf course and he loves a challenge (in fact that's the only way to get him going). He doesn't know it yet but his biggest challenge soon may be to beat his sisters who have also taken up golf! Abdullah's Family is very pro-active to his development and encourages him to play with different people frequently and exercise regularly.

The Future Falcon Program develops junior golf at every level. We give Emirati and expat children the opportunity to experience golf for the first time. This introduction phase encompasses the Abu Dhabi golf institute visiting the schools and running an introduction to golf class. Of the kids that show some interest (which has been lots!) we then allow the schools to bring the kids to the golf club so that they can get a better idea of what the golf experience is like. Currently we have two schools bringing 2 classes per week and one of these classes is an all Emirati girls class which is a big deal. Yes they love it! A special thanks has to be given to The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and TDIC our 2 main sponsors, and Darwish Al Qubassi from ESNAAD and the EGF for setting up the meetings that allowed us to get more involved with some of the schools. Without the support base none of this work could be achieved.
Up take and feedback from schools
We are proud to say that we have seen over 400 (and counting) new kids since September last year. It’s important that kids get the right message about how wonderful the game of golf is and the schools have been wonderful in allowing us to become a part of their community.
 
Importance of developing Nationals - both boys & girls
There is no doubt in my mind that the initiatives that are shown now will pave the way for future generations of National boys and girls. If you take away the golf aspect from our program we develop other life skills that have immense benefits to any childs life. Learning to play golf encompasses physical skills, but also Discipline, Rules and etiquette, Honesty and integrity. Most of all we have fun!
