Under clear skies at Madinaty Golf Club, the final leg of the MENA Golf Tour concluded with a mix of focus and reflection. Broadcasting live from the course, NileFM presenters Mickey and Nadine brought listeners into the heart of the tournament, offering real-time updates alongside conversations with players shaping the tour&rsquo;s future.
The mobile studio remained on air until 5pm, introducing audiences to emerging talent, including Australian golfer Brody Harbinson, whose measured outlook mirrored the demands of life on the professional circuit.
Despite the visible signs of a long week under the Egyptian sun, Harbinson appeared relaxed during the interview.
&ldquo;Not too bad. I&rsquo;m tired after a long week, but I&rsquo;m glad it&rsquo;s done,&rdquo; he said, acknowledging the physical and mental demands of competition.
Originally from Australia and now based in Florida, Harbinson said Egypt&rsquo;s winter conditions offered near-ideal playing weather.
&ldquo;This is actually perfect to be here right now,&rdquo; he said, adding that he would always choose sunshine over cold temperatures.
 A Tour on the Rise
 Reflecting on his time on the MENA Golf Tour, Harbinson praised its continued growth and organisation, noting increased international interest and stronger links with European tours.
&ldquo;Egypt has been great,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The courses have been fantastic, the facilities are impressive, and more players want to be part of this tour. I&rsquo;m glad this is home for me now, and hopefully I can make an impact this year.&rdquo;
The Egyptian stops&mdash;Marassi, New Giza and Madinaty; each presented different challenge. Harbinson described Madinaty as a course that rewards precision while offering little margin for error.
&ldquo;You have to earn your birdies here,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;You need a good drive and a strong second shot. It&rsquo;s a real test. You can be in the top five after round one and suddenly drop after round two. It keeps you sharp.&rdquo;
 Consistency and Perspective
 Harbinson&rsquo;s season has been marked by consistency, with only one missed cut so far. While he admitted his putting has yet to fully click, he remains patient.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m hitting it straight and putting myself in good positions,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s about finishing rounds strongly.&rdquo;
Beyond performance, he spoke about the sense of familiarity and community that defines the MENA Golf Tour.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s like seeing old friends again,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;There are former European Tour champions out here, so the standard is high. Playing in fields like this makes everyone better.&rdquo;
 Advice for the Next Generation
 For those new to the sport, Harbinson offered advice shaped by years on tour.
&ldquo;Life is bigger than golf,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Once you remember that, you start to enjoy it more. Stay grounded, have fun, and listen to people who have been where you want to go.&rdquo;
As the interview ended, Harbinson expressed appreciation for the hospitality in Egypt, even joking about the relief of air conditioning after long days on the course.
The finale at Madinaty was more than a season-ending event. It highlighted the balance between competition and connection that defines professional golf, an atmosphere NileFM captured throughout the day, shot by shot and story by story, under skies that hinted at more to come.
