2018 BritCham Golf Tournament Event Report 第四届广东英国商会高尔夫锦标赛落幕

On Friday 8^th June, the British Chamber of Commerce Guangdong held its annual Golf Tournament at Mission Hills in Shenzhen.

The day started (literally) under a heavy cloud with doubts as to whether the tournament could go ahead due the huge amount of rainfall over Shenzhen last week. Thankfully, as we got closer to lunchtime, the weather decided to help us out and the rain eased up and off we went!

Despite the soggy conditions, the players teed off full of enthusiasm ready to take on the challenging Els course.

Throughout the competition there were various challenges for the team such as ‘nearest to the pin,’ ‘longest drive’ and a ‘Flamingos’ challenge, where golfers had to tee off whilst posing like a flamingo bird. You can see some of the fine efforts our players made below!

After completing the 18 holes, we moved to the Hard Rock Hotel for our Awards Dinner, which was accompanied by beer from 8 wired Brewing Co. which proved very popular with our golfers!

To begin the ceremony, we were given an introduction by our event sponsor Merchiston International School, Shenzhen and we wish them well with the opening of the new school later this summer! For more information please visit their website at http://www.merchiston.cn

The awards ceremony was a relaxed and fun affair, with guests sharing stories and collecting prizes for a range of competitions. We also held a lucky draw raffle, with great prizes from the Hard Rock Hotel, Mission Hills, The Wine People and Shenzhen Motai Fight Fight Club helping to raise money for our charity partner, Captivating International.

The overall winning Team of the tournament was Recognize International Academy, who each received a special prize of a 999 Gold Lion collector’s item from HSBC.

We’d like to give a big thank you to the teams who participated, we had a lot of fun organising the event, and we hope that you had a great time too! We hope to see you again at our Golf tournament in 2019!

We’d also like to give a special thanks to our sponsors, we appreciate your support and look forward to working with you all at future BritCham events.
