Banking on Progress

"At HSBC we pride ourselves on not just sponsoring some of the biggest golf tournaments worldwide, but also on our genuine and long-standing commitment to the growth and development of golf amongst youngsters. Therefore, it’s with great excitement that we’re able to launch the HSBC Hong Kong Junior Golf Programme.

"The HSBC Hong Kong Junior Golf Programme will provide a sustainable, robust platform for kids of all ages and abilities to get involved with the fantastic sport of golf,” continued Mr Wong. “Furthermore, as a major supporter of golf across the region, we plan to integrate this new programme with our other relevant golf sponsorships to build a close connection between junior golf and the professional game, offering fantastic learning and playing opportunities for our junior golfers involved in the scheme. In particular, we’re looking at ways to integrate our Hong Kong and China junior programmes for the benefit of all the kids involved.”

Also present at the SKH St. James’ Primary School was Ning Li, President of the Hong Kong Golf Association, who commented:

"We are thrilled to welcome HSBC on board as partners in this hugely exciting HSBC Hong Kong Junior Golf Programme. Having such a blue-chip sponsor, with such experience in golf at all levels, is a massive boost to the development of the junior game here in Hong Kong. It enables us to rapidly expand the scale of the programme, get more kids into golf and provide some incredible opportunities for our top juniors.

"The ultimate aim for all of us is to see more local young talent progress all the way through the programme and go on to achieve success at an international level, exactly as Tiffany Chan has done by breaking into the top ten of the world amateur rankings,” continued Li. "With HSBC as our new financial partner, along with the support of our car partner Mercedes-Benz, our golf clubs, The R&A and our other sponsors, we could not be better placed to deliver further success.”
