A Unique Introduction to Golf


As their journey at Education City Golf Club began, the transit visitors gathered at the renowned Centre of Excellence, where PGA-certified golf professionals introduced them to the essentials of the sport. For the first hour, our guests observed as the pros demonstrated different types of golf swings, showcasing the variety of clubs used in the game and how each one has a specific role on the course. From drives to putts, every demonstration brought the game to life, providing a quick but thorough glimpse into the sport of golf.


The setting at ECGC’s Centre of Excellence is designed to give first-timers a feel for golf in a relaxed, welcoming environment. The PGA professionals aim to make golf accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether they are picking up a club for the first time or brushing up on skills learned long ago. For our transit visitors, this introduction offered a fresh, hands-on way to spend their layover in Qatar.

Team-Building Fun on the Greens

The second hour of the visit shifted from skill-building to team-building, as the group participated in games specifically designed to foster collaboration and camaraderie. These activities allowed participants to step outside their comfort zones, encouraging teamwork and friendly competition. The games offered a refreshing break from traditional sightseeing and allowed visitors to connect over a shared experience—a key goal of Qatar’s expanding transit tourism initiative.
