This strategic move aims to deliver a new level of coaching, performance, and excellence at one of the Middle East’s most advanced golf facilities.
According to Martin McDonagh, Director of Golf at Trump Golf Dubai, the new hires will help the Academy set a new benchmark for player development. "With Michael and Garrick joining the team, our focus is on collaboration, innovation, and providing a world-class experience for every golfer who trains with us," said McDonagh. "Whether you’re new to the game or an experienced player looking for that extra edge, our academy is the place to develop your skills."
Michael Lane is known for his structured, results-driven approach, which has helped players of all abilities achieve measurable improvements. As the new Director of Instruction, his goal is to create an environment where every golfer can build skills and confidence while enjoying the game.
Garrick Porteous brings invaluable tour-level insight and competitive experience to the Academy. The PGA professional's firsthand knowledge of the game at the highest level will provide students with a practical, engaging, and tailored approach to reaching their full potential.
The Academy’s comprehensive learning environment is a key part of its appeal. Located at the Gil Hanse-designed championship course, the facility also features an award-winning Par 3 course and state-of-the-art practice areas. This setup allows for training that goes beyond the fundamentals, covering everything from swing mechanics to advanced on-course strategy.
With the arrival of Lane and Porteous, the Trump Dubai Performance Academy is poised to solidify its reputation as a leader in golf instruction. The team’s combination of modern coaching techniques, tour-level expertise, and cutting-edge facilities promises a truly transformative experience for every golfer seeking to improve their game.
