Charles Schwab To Sponsor Landmark HKGA Rules Seminar

US financial services giant Charles Schwab will sponsor the HKGA Rules Seminar, which takes place at the Hong Kong Golf Club on 31 March.

The Seminar, which will be conducted in English and is open to anyone who is passionate about golf and interested in the Rules, includes both theory and practical sessions. If they wish, participants will also be able to sit the R&A Level 1 accreditation exam during the Seminar, making the HKGA the first governing body in Asia to offer this accreditation using locally-qualified referees as instructors.

Hong Kong rules officials are internationally recognised and many have refereed at European Tour events.

"The Hong Kong Golf Association is delighted to receive the support of Charles Schwab, Hong Kong, Ltd. for this landmark occasion," said HKGA Chief Executive Iain Valentine. "It promises to be an informative and entertaining day, one that will be of benefit to golfers of all abilities."

The closing date for entries – which can be made through the HKGA website (hkga.com) – is 16 March. For more information call Dolla Chui at 2504 8202.
