The Els Club, located at Dubai Sports City, has successfully concluded its exclusive, members-only Major Series, thanks to the generous support of its corporate sponsors and the continued enthusiasm of its loyal membership base.
The top 16 qualifiers from the Major Series will go on to take part in the Club Championships and Handicap Cups on 30 January 2010, two key events in The Els Club's annual golf calendar. The 2010 winners will have the opportunity to meet Ernie Els during the Dubai Desert Classic festivities, taking place from February 1st 7th, 2010.
"With new sponsors and additional course facilities, we are delivering a bigger and better tournament that further establishes The Els Club as a premier brand offering for golfers in the Middle East," said Chris Brown, Director of Golf, The Els Club.
Al Tayer Motors, The Westin, Rivoli, JW Marriot, 100PLUS, Oakley, and Ruths Chris Steakhouse are supporting sponsors for the Member Major Series. The Els Club is the first completed venue in Dubai Sports City, and has been constructed and presented to exceed world-class standards. With a range of thoughtfully-placed tee boxes, fairway pot bunkers and green complexes, coupled with carefully-developed undulation, The Els Club's 18-hole, championship golf course offers a unique addition to the Middle East's growing range of world-class golf facilities.
