MATTHEW MOUCHARAFIEH COMPETES WITH
RETIEF GOOSEN IN 2010 QATAR PRO-AM
Doha, Qatar – Matthew Moucharafieh, a student at Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy (Hank Haney IJGA) in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, just recently competed in the 2010 Qatar Pro-Am at the Championship Course of Doha Golf Club. For the second straight year, Moucharafieh, a native of Lebanon, was paired up with PGA Tour veteran Retief Goosen of South Africa. As defending champions of the 2009 Qatar Pro-Am, Moucharafieh and his team of two others were invited to compete in the event again alongside Goosen. While Moucharafieh and his team did not walk away with the victory in 2010, he was excited about the opportunity to play with Goosen and the improvements in his golf game.
“I thoroughly enjoyed playing with Retief again this year. He was impressed with the changes and improvements in my swing. It was inspiring to have Retief notice the development in my game over the past year. We have developed a close relationship over the past few years and I look forward to following in his footsteps,” stated Moucharafieh.
Moucharafieh enrolled at Hank Haney IJGA in the fall of 2009 as a full-time student. While recovering from a minor injury in the beginning part of the semester, Moucharafieh took the opportunity to concentrate on his short game since his full swing was hindered by the injury. He has a full schedule this spring with academics, golf training, and tournament, all taking place at Hank Haney IJGA. Follow Matthew’s progress at www.ijga.com.

GROWING THE GAME: ONE COURT AT A TIME
aboutGolf Joins Adventure Golf Services In Expanding Accessibility to Golf
MAUMEE, OHIO (Wednesday, October 14, 2009) aboutGolf announced today its involvement with Adventure Golf Services™ launch of TheGolfCourt, a revolutionary new golf product designed to bring golf learning, practice and play to more persons, at a lower cost.
aboutGolf will supply PGA TOUR Simulators and 3Trak launch monitors as options in the golf practice center designed to fit in a tennis court space and targeted at municipalities and organizations with unused or under-utilized tennis courts, buildings, or vacant space.
Outfitting TheGolfCourt with aboutGolf technology will provide a level of learning and practice that cannot be accomplished any other way, says Chuck Faust, President and COO of aboutGolf. Whether used in combination with professional instruction or simple self-analysis and practice, PGA TOUR Simulators and 3Trak launch monitors provide actionable data that drives improvement.
TheGolfCourt standard model includes five driving stations, six contoured chipping stations, six future sand bunker positions, a 1,300-square-foot contoured putting area, retractable safety net separators, an overhead ball containment net and installation. The PGA TOUR Simulator and 3Trak launch monitors are optional. Other options include putting turf upgrades, golf course surround graphics, bleachers, signs and a clubhouse.
TheGolfCourt will help state, city and regional parks and recreation departments provide residents a new alternative to learn, practice and play golf in a 2,700-square-foot area,comments Scott Lundmark, Director of Sales for Adventure Golf Services, located in Traverse City , Michigan .
TheGolfCourt concept is being introduced today at the National Recreation Parks Association annual trade show.
aboutGolf has always put a high priority on growing the game of golf, says Bill Bales, Founder and CEO of aboutGolf. Indoor golf has contributed to increasing accessibility to the game, breaking down barriers to entry. Given that history, TheGolfCourt seemed like a natural extension of that initiative.
aboutGolf and Adventure Golf Services envision that TheGolfCourt will be used as an amenity or a profit center by hotels, resorts, parks, condo/timeshares, senior living facilities, school systems, the military, golf pros, golf courses and driving ranges. The compact size will be a benefit in countries or cities with space limitations and where real golf courses or training facilities are logistically difficult to access.
