To celebrate the beginning of the Emirates Australian Open, Emirates treated a group of junior players from Ridge Golf Club and Woolooware Golf Club with a special visit by former World Number One, Adam Scott.
As part of the special junior golf clinic held in the Emirates suite at the Royal Sydney Golf Club, Scott shared some of his secrets to his success and advice for what they need to do to become the next golfing greats.
While on the course, Emirates hosted a number of high profile Australian executives and members of the travel industry and gave them the opportunity to tee off alongside world-class golfers at the Emirates Australian Open Pro-Am.

Barry Brown, Emirates’ Divisional Vice President for Australasia said: “Today has been a great start to what is sure to be a riveting four days of stiff competition and incredible talent. There’s nothing quite like having some of the best from all sporting worlds come together over a game of golf.
This marks Emirates’ sixth year as naming rights sponsor of the Open which is currently celebrating its 101st year. Emirates is the Official Airline for 21 golfing tournaments worldwide.
“Emirates prides itself on its partnership with the Australian Open in what has become an important part of our history in Australia. Not only does it represent a unique opportunity for us to connect with the golfing community, but also a chance for us to reflect on the world-class talent we see on display here today”
