Welcome on PlaNet Finance Middle East website!
Following the success of last year, the third edition of “Tee Off Against Poverty !”, a friendly golf tournament organized by the UAE branch of PlaNet Finance, will star Manuel De Los Santos, a phenomenal rising golf star with 2 handicap, despite a disability: Manuel lost a leg in a traffic accident. In 2009 Santos competed on the European circuit against able bodied golfers from around the world. Said to “redefine all the rules of the golf playing techniques”, Manuel De Los Santos is causing a furor in the golfing world both with his performance, spirit and ambition.
“After the success of the second edition id “Tee Off Against Poverty!” in April last year, we approached Manuel who is not only excited to support our cause, but to play with fellow golfers in Dubai,” said Cabanel-Rey. During his stay in Dubai, Manuel De Los Santos will also conduct a golf clinic for participants in the tournament.
The third edition of “Tee Off Against Poverty” will take place, on 11 March 2010, just a few weeks after the Desert Classic, courtesy Emirates Golf Club Dubai. The tournament is open for individual players and corporate teams from all of the UAE. Details about participation can be obtained from dubaigolftournament@planetfinance.org or Tel: +971 509355475
