It offers a new experience for any pro golfer and the beginner or enthusiast as well.

The golf course provides the options of a full size driving range, shaded areas, hitting form grass areas to bunkers to give you that sandy feel. Before you take on someone for a big game, you might want to practice your short game at the putting green area available for guests.

The Kuredu Golf Club offers a lot of the services that you might expect from any golf course, and some more. You can choose to rent equipment, set up a training session with one of the PGA Qualified Head Pro trainers; and if your spouse wishes to relax while you perfect your put, they could lavish in delicious delights of a variety of beverages and food available at the bar, within the course.

Napoli back on top of Serie A as De Laurentiis celebrates in Maldives

Published

on

Aurelio De Laurentiis, owner and chairman of SSC Napoli and one of Italy’s leading film producers, is celebrating his club’s return to the top of Serie A while holidaying in the Maldives.

Napoli secured a crucial 2–0 victory over Torino in the 34th round of the league, taking full advantage of Inter Milan’s 1–0 loss to Roma. With the win, Napoli now lead the table with 74 points, three points clear of Inter, with four matches remaining in the season.

Many had expected De Laurentiis to be present at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for such a pivotal match. However, according to Italian media reports, he remained in the Maldives. After the match, the Napoli president posted a message from afar, encouraging his team to stay composed during the decisive final stretch of the season: “Cool heads. Calm and steady. Forza Napoli Sempre!”

The radio station Kiss Kiss Napoli suggested that De Laurentiis’ decision to stay in the Maldives, distant from Italy, reflects his strategy of giving space to the team and coaching staff while firmly maintaining control over the club’s direction.

Following Napoli’s historic league triumph in 2023, their first in over three decades, the club endured a turbulent season marked by coaching changes and management instability. Many attributed last season’s struggles to the lack of continuity.

Determined to rebuild, De Laurentiis appointed Antonio Conte, a proven winner, as head coach ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, a move that is already delivering results.

As the race for the Scudetto intensifies, Napoli’s dream of winning a second title in three years remains very much alive, with De Laurentiis steering the course even from thousands of miles away.
