Despite the ever-expanding array of workshops and world-class leisure facilities to golfers of all grades in the UAE, there has always been one barrier in this portion of the globe – the searing heat from the summer sun.

Although there have been efforts to implement the presence of emulation systems at several social clubs throughout the region, the newly opened MyGolf Dubai is the very first upscale indoor golf and recreation lounge with state-of-the-art amenities to ensure you satisfy all of your putting and chipping desires without being hampered by the weather.

Located at GD55-62, Dragon Mart 2, the venue is within easy reach from the center of Dubai, where you can entertain yourself with anything you can imagine at its highly immersive range, from strengthening your driving, to having the perfect stance, and swinging technique.

MyGolf is a valuable visit just for the eating and drinks since the setting shouts opulence and quality.

MyGolf’s virtual arena, thanks to technological improvements, enables golfers to iron out all of their kinks.

Each component of every shot is evaluated by many high-speed cameras, all under the watchful eye of PGA-certified professionals in one of the bays. There are 14 open, semi-private, and private berths available for hourly reservations to fill the demands of all clients.

Veteran golfers, casual players, and children will all benefit significantly from the entire experience, which is supported by flawless technology, all while remaining cool and comfortable away from the sun.
Whether you’re practising or competing, the simulator gives you regular feedback on data like ball speed, angle of launch, left or right deviation, and distance travelled. It also contains responsive scoreboards so you can keep track of your progress and that of your folks at all times.

Furthermore, MyGolf also boasts an academy, to assist golfers maximise their potential.

Indian boxing icon Mary Kom launches UAE’s first robotic knee surgery unit

Published

on

Indian Olympic medalist and boxing legend Mary Kom stepped into a different kind of ring this week as she officially inaugurated Aster Hospital Mankhool’s state-of-the-art robotic surgery facility, a first for the healthcare group in the UAE.

The highlight? The launch of the ROSA robotic knee replacement system, a high-tech marvel that blends real-time data, 3D modelling, and a personalised approach to revolutionise how knee surgeries are done.

“This is a big leap forward for patient care,” said Kom. The six-time world champion, who’s also served in India’s Parliament, hailed the hospital’s push for smarter, safer surgeries.

Precision Power

Unlike traditional knee replacements, the ROSA robot acts as a high-tech co-pilot, guiding surgeons from planning to execution. The system uses detailed CT scans to create a 3D model of the patient’s knee, allowing for precise implant placement, better joint function, and faster recovery.

Safer, Smarter, Stronger

The robotic approach means smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and a lower risk of complications – like infections or nerve damage. Patients with complex anatomy or severe arthritis, in particular, stand to benefit the most.

And the best part? The minimally invasive nature means less blood loss, quicker healing, and a better quality of life – helping patients get back on their feet faster and stronger than ever.
