Kunal Seth took over as Men’s Club Captain of Emirates Golf Club on September 1, becoming one of the youngest people to hold the position in the club’s history.
It means the world to me. Emirates Golf Club is not just where I play my golf; it is a second home, and to be asked to captain it, and to be the youngest to do so in the club's history, is an honour I don't take lightly.
Seth has been part of the Emirates Golf Club community for more than a decade. He described the appointment as both an honor and a responsibility, saying the club is not only where he plays golf but also a second home.
I'd like my year to stand for three things: community, inclusivity and the next generation.
He wants his captaincy to stand for “community, inclusivity and the next generation.” Seth, who also serves as commissioner of the UAE-created Ultimate Golf Challenge amateur league, said the club’s character comes from its people as much as from its golf course.
What makes it special? The Majlis is one of the great courses of world golf, and you never tire of standing on that first tee with the skyline behind you. But honestly, it's the people.
Seth has played golf for more than 35 years and said the sport teaches honesty, patience and humility. As captain, he plans to focus on younger golfers and create more opportunities for juniors. His measure of success is simple: “That was a great year to be a member.”
That was a great year to be a member.
