Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s growing love for golf was recognized in the UAE when he was given honorary life membership of The Els Club at Dubai Sports City.
Tendulkar received his membership from Dubai Sports City Partner Abdulrahman Falaknaz during his recent stay in the UAE, where he was with IPL team Mumbai Indians as their mentor.
Not only did Tendulkar play nine holes at the course, he also took a lesson with Justin Parsons, Director of Instruction, Butch Harmon School of Golf (BHSG).
Falaknaz said: “Sachin has given so much to the world of sport, both through his performances and also the way he has conducted himself.
“Therefore, it was fitting for us to have given him something while expressing our thanks and recognition for all that he has achieved.”
