Royal Palm Golf & Country Club Vice President Ahmad Iqbal Saeed visited COTHM to share the industrial insights with students.

Ahmad Saeed spoke to the students about the process a company takes to get success in the field of hospitality in Royal Palm Golf.

Pakistan Golf Federation was mandated to promote and develop the game of Golf in Pakistan. To coordinate and manage the affairs of all the golfers of Pakistan belonging to and registered with the member Organizations and Golf Clubs, which would include male as well as female players of both amateur as well as professional status. Golf is the only game in which Pakistan literally started from scratch. The game was introduced and patronized in the Sub-Continent by the British. After partition a big void was created and the game might have been extinct in Pakistan had it not had been for a few die heart golfers who made enormous effort to keep the game alive.

The students asked pointed questions about the impact of mentors, role of skills in education, and collaborations between the corporate and educational sectors. They also questioned about how to keep going after failure, and how to stay motivated every day.

He told the students to be persistent, take on internships whenever possible, and make sure they love whatever they end up doing because a passion for the work is critical for success in the industry.
