The Lebanese women’s golf team participated for the first time in the six day World Championship for women hosted by the Irish capital, Dublin. Lebanon will be competing with 58 countries, including two other Arab states, Tunisia and Morocco, noting that the Lebanese team is the youngest in the tournament. It includes, Vanessa Richai (16) and Lea and Sarah Assaf (15) in addition to Captain Akram Richani and coach Hussein Assaf. This is the first appearance at this level and will be unique and useful for Lebanon. To note, the new federation, commissioned at the end of 2016, developed a vision under the title 2020 with the aim to create teams of youth and women to take part in various tournaments. The team has also received a special greeting from the president of the International Golf Federation (IGF) who welcomed the Cedar Ranks for their first appearance. (Al Mustaqbal, August 31, 2018)
