Overview

The 11th CUHK Golf Day was held on Monday, 14 December 2015 at the Hong Kong Golf Club. Close to 100 alumni and friends of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) participated in this meaningful event. A record high of HK$1.9 million in donations was raised through Golf Day this year in support of the development of the University.

The Tee-off Ceremony was officiated by Professor Michael Hui, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President of CUHK, Dr Yeung Ming-biu, Supreme Sponsor and Founder and Chairman of Oriental Watch Holdings Limited, Mr Stewart Cheng, Diamond Sponsor and President of the Organizing Committee of CUHK Golf Day 2015, and Mrs Carol Tsang, Diamond Sponsor and Vice-President of the Organizing Committee. Before the 23 teams embarked their exciting 18-hole tournament, Professor Hui extended a warm welcome to all participants and thanked our sponsors, alumni and friends for the support they have rendered to this event.

We are delighted to announce that Chung Chi College won the CU Cup. It is the third time for the College to win this prestigious award. Wealth Eagle Team was the winner of the Oriental Watch Open Cup - Best Net, while alumni Mr Jeremy Tang and Ms Leong Kuo-wa won the Men’s and Ladies’ Best Gross Championship respectively.

At the Prize Presentation Ceremony, Professor Joseph Sung, Vice-Chancellor and President of CUHK said it was extremely encouraging to see a growing alumni participation rate of the event from 30% in 2005 to over 50% in recent years.
