November 5, 2022 – Rabat: The Asian Tour has underlined its ongoing commitment to the communities that host its International Series events by making a $25,000 donation to the Ain Hallouf Rural School of Golf, a golf school for children held under the leadership of His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid and the Moroccan Golf Federation.
The center provides
lessons in golf and important societal values to children in the Douar Ain
Hallouf area near Royal Golf Dar Es Salam golf club, the venue for the International
Series Morocco, the fifth event of the Asian Tour’s flagship series.
Rahul Singh,
Head of the International Series, presented the cheque to Abdelkader El Hali,
General Manager of the Ain Hallouf Rural School of Golf, on the sidelines of
the $1.5million tournament, which runs through Sunday – and to which entry is
free.
Singh said: “The
Asian Tour is committed to supporting the communities at our International
Series host venues through philanthropic efforts, and we are delighted to make
this charitable contribution which underscores our commitment to developing the
game at the grassroots level. By supporting the school we can support the
growth of the game in Morocco, a golf market of real potential.”
El Hali, General
Manager of the Ain Hallouf Rural School of Golf, said: “This generous
contribution will benefit many youngsters in the area, by empowering them
through sport and educating them in the positive values of golf, building
strength of character, confidence and resilience.”
The Douar Ain
Hallouf area has a strong connection with the game of golf. Many locals have
found employment at the Royal Dar Es Salam course in the 50 years since it was
first developed in 1971, and the locals have even built a course for their
community, in the middle of the forest.
The Ain Hallouf
Rural School of Golf has helped many players to develop their game and many
Moroccan professionals are native to the area, such as Ahmed Marjan, who is
playing in the International Series Morocco.
The Asian Tour’s philanthropic efforts are felt at each of the International Series destinations, with significant donations being made to support local communities in Thailand, England, Singapore and South Korea already this season.
The
International Series Morocco takes place at the historic Royal Golf Dar Es
Salam, in Rabat, from November 3-6 and admission is free to spectators. The
International Series then moves on to Egypt the following week, at Madinaty
Golf Club in Cairo, from November 10-13.
