Federation of Chinese Golf Clubs
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR OF THE TIGER!

I hope that everyone had a great holiday and did the right things to usher in the New Year! Although the celebrations have subsided, I am excited about celebrating the Federation of Chinese Golf Club's 40th anniversary! It all started in Sacramento in 1970 where all of the eight charter club's presidents posed for the first installation of member clubs.

At this year's Memorial Day tournament, a brief history of the beginnings will be presented and with the board's approval, the past federation presidents will be invited to attend the Awards Dinner as guests of the federation. They will be recognized and thanked for their past services to the federation which now has grown in 2009 to 22 clubs.

Many thanks to the Tucson, Los Angeles, Portland and San Francisco Clubs for their great successful efforts in hosting their respective 2009 invitational events. The committee man-hours that the host clubs logged really set the stage for the camaraderie and fellowship that was present at all of these events. Thanks to our webmaster Clarence Bakken from the Foon Hay Senior Golf Club, he has posted results and photos from 2009 invitational events as well as other note worthy news at this website.

Looking into this year's tournament schedule, please have your members mark their calendars for the three scheduled events in 2010. Sacramento is hosting their 57th Memorial Day Invitational on May 29-30 that will be played at the beautiful and challenging Lincoln Hills Golf Club in Lincoln, CA. If you have not received the flyer, check the federation website shown above to download the application. The Oakland Club is hosting their Fourth of July event in Reno, NV on July 11-14. The 36-hole event, both shotgun starts, will be played at D'Andrea Golf Club on Monday, July 12 and at Somersett Country Club on Tuesday, July 13. An optional fun warm-up round will be available at Lakeridge Golf Club on Sunday, July 11. Reno's Silver Legacy Casino will be the home base. The Victoria, B.C. Club will be hosting the 60th Annual Intercity Golf Tournament on September 3-4. The two shotgun starts will be at Arbutus Ridge Golf Club and Olympic View Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday respectively. The Coast Harbour Hotel will be their home base.

At the past three meetings, we have been emphasizing the need for the exchange of ideas on how each club has addressed maintaining membership and improving participation at invitational events. We have had some good feedback and hope to share more ideas in the coming meetings. As the result of the success that the Foon Hay Senior Golf Club and the Oakland Chinese Golf Club have had in their respective country club outings, I would like to encourage local clubs to continue to "experiment" with more inter-club outings to promote fellowship and to give visiting club members a taste of the workings of the host club. This process of sharing will strengthen the ties between clubs.

Again, let's make this year another great year of good golfing, camaraderie, and fellowship by showing your support at this year's invitational events.

Good golfing,

Cheers,

Hugh Lee

Federation President
