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. When it comes to honing your skill blade, their cutting-edge gear will provide you with an engrossing experience that you’ll want to keep returning to.

MyGolf is a valuable visit just for the eating and drinks since the setting shouts opulence and quality.
As soon as you step in, you’ll see a peaceful restaurant and cafe in the centre, where guests can watch live sporting events on big-screen TVs or watch enthusiast golfers being mentored in the various simulator cubicles and technical sections. 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.

How it works: GolfZon, the world’s foremost source of advanced golf simulation, is included in MyGolf and is 98 percent accurate in re-creating ball flight and providing unique analytical data to help players improve their abilities after each swing. 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. Lessons are available on a one-to-one basis and also in groups, catering to players of all ages and abilities — from beginners picking up the basics to the single-handicappers looking to go even lower.

Rio Ferdinand may be done with UK living, for now.

The former Manchester United star, 47, has listed his seven-bedroom Kent mansion for £10.5 million (Dh52 million), hinting his move to Dubai is permanent.

Set in the exclusive Farnborough Park estate, the 12,500 sq ft home features landscaped grounds, a private gym, grand reception spaces, and a luxury master suite with dual dressing rooms. He bought it in 2008 for around £2.7 million, meaning a potential £8 million profit, though tax could apply depending on residency status.

Ferdinand moved to Dubai last year with his wife Kate and their children. They are now living in a luxury villa in Al Barari.

He has been candid about the move, citing more family time, an improved lifestyle, and the appeal of a fresh start. “The lifestyle, safety and weather, it just works for us,” Ferdinand said in the report.

He’s not alone. Vincent Kompany is also reportedly selling his UK home, as more football names rethink where they’re based.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has alerted motorists to expected traffic delays on key roads on Wednesday, April 22, due to the AFC Champions League 2 match taking place at Al Wasl Club.

The fixture between Qatar’s Al Ahli and Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia is part of the ongoing AFC Champions League 2, Asia’s second-tier continental competition, which has been drawing strong crowds across the region. Matches at this stage of the tournament typically attract large numbers of fans, especially when hosted in major cities like Dubai, leading to increased traffic around stadium zones.

Authorities expect congestion on roads leading to and around the stadium, particularly during pre-match and post-match hours, as supporters head to watch the game live.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys, allow extra travel time, and consider alternative routes to avoid delays.

To help ease congestion, the RTA confirmed that additional parking spaces will be available behind the stadium, offering more options for those attending the match.

The advisory is part of ongoing efforts to manage traffic during major sporting events and ensure a smooth and comfortable travel experience for residents and visitors across Dubai.
