Stuart McMurdo – Big Changes at Jebel Ali The Resort Golf Course
It’s been a period of great change at JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort both for the club itself and for the man now at the helm. Stuart McMurdo took over from long-serving Director of Golf James Williams back in February after 14 years as Golf Operations Manager when his fellow Englishman moved on after 20 years in charge. Big shoes to fill indeed but add into the mix a sizeable redesign of the stunning Peter Harradine designed 9-hole layout and the upcoming opening of the Middle East’s first David Leadbetter Academy, among a number of other projects, and it’s fair to say that the 40 year old has gone straight in at the deep end! Worldwide Golf headed down to the newly re-opened JA The Resort Golf Course to speak to McMurdo about his new role and the significant developments at the club since he took over.
