Issa Abou El Ela Excels in Keeping the Family LegacyAya Kordy
Ranked in the top 20 worldwide, Middle East champion, Egypt’s champion and recently champion of the Katameya Junior Open competition, Issa Abou El Ela raised the bar for all Schutz athletes.
Issa Abou El Ela is a current ninth grader, who has been enrolled in Schutz since Pre-Kindergarten. Issa has been playing golf for thirteen years. Despite his young age, he is motivated, committed and dedicated to the game. Issa is part of a large family that is all inspired by golf, "We all started playing golf at a very young age. Now, my younger brother Mohamed who is currently in Pre-Kindergarten practices golf", stated Issa.
Adding to the family achievements, Issa’s father, Amr Abou El Ela was the Middle East as well as Africa’s champion: His older sister Dina, who is currently an eleventh grader, has been the Ladies Middle East champion for two years. "My father is my role model, I want him to be proud of me one day as I’m grateful that such a man is my father," explains Issa.
Issa has always set goals for himself and has always tried his best to achieve them. When it comes to golfing, he says, "It is always the ball and me, nothing else in the world matters."
Issa would like to go pro when he is twenty years old, but until then, he will continue to engage in many tournaments winning himself numerous titles. Of the many championships he has won, Issa is truly proud of the Pan Arab Junior Champion as he has won it two times, securing for himself the title of the junior championship of the Middle East. He is also proud of the Pinehurst World Championship as he was ranked twentieth worldwide.
When asked to pass down a word of wisdom to those wishing to pursue the art of golfing, Issa said "The harder you work, the luckier you get." Issa finds himself blessed that he grew up on the endless green golf course, and he says that the quote by Tiger Woods, "I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant," truly applies to him.
