What do legendary British comedy duo, Ant and Dec, four-time F1 World Champion, Alain Prost and little old me all have in common? The answer most certainly does not involve high fame or rich golfing ability, I can assure you – I’m quite confident I let the group down (badly) in that regard.
Instead, it’s that we all experienced the breathtaking new clubhouse at Al Zorah Golf and Yacht Club in Ajman earlier this year – the first GEO-certified establishment in the area. We didn’t go together, I should quickly point out, but instead happened to briefly cross paths during late March.
