Reflective essay


This project was very useful; here I’m going to write about what happened there in Alghazal golf club.

We went to Alghazal golf club with a group of students (me, Asaad, Hesham and abdullrhman). Before visiting Alghazal golf club we had been to many places but unfortunately, they rejected us and didn’t allow us to take pictures and record our video. We divided to work in the group so each one should have something to do, I was holding the dates and organized the meeting there, so we can get what we need of information; this decision was made from our leader Asaad. We chose this sport which is golf because it’s a hobby that everyone wants to try. Alghazal golf club is near to the airport and it’s a big place. Firstly we met Ms.Roley and she is the reception. She dealt with us nicely, and let us interview with the manager of Alghazal club Mr.Seyd. We asked him about the club and we collected what we needed of information and we know that the club was built more than 20 years ago. We also met the manager of the photographic section and asked her about the number of the local people they train in the club. I was shocked because many locals are training there, which is unexpected because locals here only like the sport of football. The special thing about this club is that it’s the first club made of desert in the UAE and one of the oldest clubs. We also tried to play this sport (golf) in the club but it was very hard and we can’t even touch the ball with the club. It was a nice experiment and we have tried a new thing. The building is now near the airport, before was inside Abu Dhabi. We decided to go to Alghazal golf because it’s the only place which welcomed us. The trip is related to LSS 3003 with many things. The main things are how to communicate with people and also to try new things. We can’t complete our case study because we don’t know much about this sport so we don’t go deep. My group have worked hard and tried their best so I think a fine case study which can be acceptable. In this case study we faced some problem which will affect our case study, so we should work harder in the next case study and make some changes so we can show a better project, like asking more people and getting more information from them. We also should go to a better known sport so we can ask proper questions.

To sum up, this project was very useful and helpful which let us meet and interview people from other countries and also know new place can be visited to have fun and play golf. This sport should be supported by our government and we should have more clubs for different sports.
