LSCOBA 2000 Hainan Golf Tour (24 - 26 November 2000)
30 old boys signed
up for this event although only 29 turned up at the airport in the evening on
24/11/2000 to Hainan (®ü«n), the southern-most province of China.
All the old boys
put on the smart souvenir golf shirts with the logo "La Salle Golfers Hainan
Tour 2000" before we got on the coach on the 2nd day of our tour to the
golf course. We had two rounds of golf at Kangle Hot Spring Golf Club and Yalong
Bay Golf Club respectively. There were lots of fun, jokes, beer, etc. during
our short trip amongst old boys from the 60's to the early 80's. The competition
was so hotly contested by the participants that a lot of the prizes had to be
decided on count-back.
I would like to
congratulate the following winners :-

According to the
La Salle Golfers "local rules", we have donations from the following
old boys to fund our future golf events:- John Ribeiro (HK$2,750), Daniel Yung
(HK$2,500), Leonard Chu (HK$2,500) and Paul Law (HK$2,250). Thanks!
We sang our school
song with 3 cheers for La Salle during the prize-giving dinner at the golf club.
The spirit was really high and the other guests there also gave us a great round
of applause. We came back on 26/11/2000 and it was after 11:00 p.m. when we
arrived at the airport at Chek Lap Kok to conclude our tour.
As a separate note,
I am very pleased to report that the golfers have risen to the occasion again
when our Alma Mater needs help from the old boys, this time with respect to
the La Salle Primary School Redevelopment Project. As proposed by our first
timer Dr. Li Che Cheong (69), we managed to raise more than $100,000 for such
project during our trip from almost all the participants as well as from other
old boy golfers who were unable to join this tour and the donation will be made
in the name of "the La Salle Golfers 2000" . Thank you guys for making
this possible!
I would also like
to thank the following old boys again for their help:- Thomas Tung (77) for
bringing his PC and acting as our scorer; Paul Wrobel (78) for arranging our
tour; Leonard Chu (83) for acting as our tournament director; Paul Law (78)
for arranging the trophies and Joseph Leung (78) for arranging the souvenir
golf shirts. Of course I need to thank all the participating old boys for their
support in making this event a successful one. See you next time.
