Pupils remained in the enrichment swing with school golf festival Golf is a game that lends itself to social distancing and with us being unable to run enrichment clubs this year, Sherborne Qatar has been encouraging pupils to seek out opportunities to be active in the community. A handful of pupils from Year 4 in Prep to Year 8 in Seniors enjoyed a golf taster session in October 2021 at the state-of-the-art golf centre at Education City Golf Club. Club professionals Martin Steel and Rachel Choi ran the session which covered a tour of the facilities, followed by tips around the grip, swing, contact with the ball and fading the ball. The following month, Sherborne entered the Qatar School Golf Tournament at Doha Golf Club. The team included Rory Van Eck and Harry O Donnell in Year 8, both of whom participated in the golf taster and went on to join the ‘Play to Par’ programme at Education City Golf Club. Our third member of the Sherborne team was Jack Tobin in Year 11, lending his experience and encouragement.
