"Our model is simply to offer unbeatable deals to local golfers while giving them access to an online community to share events, connect with friends, and get the latest local tournament and golf news," said Jorgen Ellingson, co-founder of Golf MENA.

As well as great deals for golfers, he said, the website offers golf courses and businesses a new marketing channel to reach out to local golfers without expensive marketing. Once the sponsor joins Golf MENA's network they have the flexibility and tools to offer new promotions at any time.

"It's a win-win for both our members and sponsors. We offer a virtual community for local golfers to save money and merchants a direct marketing channel to promote their products and services," said Ellingson.
