Conquer Jebel Ali’s signature par-3
MY ASSOCIATION WITH EUROPEAN TOUR star and Jebel Ali ambassador Rafa Cabrera Bello made JA The Resort Golf Course a natural fit for my first academy in the Middle East. The practice facilities are great and I love that players can take what they’ve learned straight out onto Peter Harradine’s recently modified nine-holer, a tough little examination that has only got better. Every layout has its signature hole and at Jebel Ali it’s the 8th/17th. Let me show you how to tackle this tricky par-3 ...and escape the sand if you don’t quite get it right first time.
