Roy Lee qualified as an R&A Level 3 official in St Andrews in 2010. He has been actively refereeing in HKGA amateur tournaments as well as the professional HK Ladies Open and UBS HK Open. Through his work at Garden Farm Golf Centre, he created the Golf Rules Guru Facebook page to share his refereeing experiences and educate more people on the Rules of Golf.
