With the majors consigned to history and the Ryder Cup safely back in European hands, the golf season is winding down, right? Wrong. In the Middle East, the DP World Tour Championship is a November institution. We preview the 10th edition of the European Tour’s Race to Dubai decider with 10 key storylines to watch for at Jumeirah Golf Estates. We take a sneak peek at the redevelopment of JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort, meet new Dubai Hills G.C. general manager Elliott Gray and the Abu Dhabi amateur who achieved a life goal at the recent 100th PGA Championship. Dubai Creek pro Luke Tidmarsh solves a weighty issue in an issue overflowing with tuition tips, including a spread from The Address Montgomerie Dubai head pro Martin Robinson on how establishing a clear vision of the shot you want to play is vital to a successful pre-shot routine. There’s also help from Butch Harmon, David Leadbetter, DP World World Tour Championship titleholder Jon Rahm and PGA Tour star Daniel Berger, the wisdom of Gary Player and a bitter-sweet story of renowned course architect Pete Dye.
