Schools' Golf Programme in Full Swing

The Hong Kong Golf Association’s ‘Golf For Schools’ initiative is well underway with hundreds of school children across Hong Kong enjoying their first introduction to the sport. Primary schools in Fanling, Sha Tin, Sheung Shui, Tung Chung and Wan Chai have already signed up for the new programme

Golf For Schools is intended to be affordable and accessible for children of all background

Ning Li, President of the HKGA commented: “Golf For Schools only works if there is an affordable pathway into the sport with access to coaching and facilities. We have overwhelming support and co-operation from the HKGA’s four constituent golf clubs - Hong Kong Golf Club, Clearwater Bay, Discovery Bay and Shek O - plus Kau Sai Chau, Nine Eagles and other golf facilities across Hong Kong.”

Li added: “The support of our partners including Mercedes-Benz, EFG Bank and Descente Trading Limited is also crucial to Golf For Schools, as is backing from The R&A and co-operation from the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong PGA. In recent months we have seen Tuen Mun resident Tiffany Chan graduate from the HKGA’s junior programme and break into the top ten of the World Amateur Golf Rankings. We hope Golf For Schools will enable many more Hong Kong children to follow similar dreams.”
