April 2008
The SGC season is really taking off now & bookings continue to reach new heights.
Firstly I'd like to report on a non golfing issue "The Gift of Life Charity" our SGC sponsored child Chen Yong Hao has successfully come through his operation & was released from hospital on Tuesday 15th April. The Shanghai Chest Hospital & the rotary club express sincere thanks to all SGC members for firstly the monetary assistance & secondly the kind donations of toys & clothes. These gifts not only went to young Chen, but to all the other kids in the ward, majority coming from poor families in distant provinces..
It was a great response from SGC families, my personal thanks to all. A special thanks goes to Peter Grant for starting this up & for pushing it up to another level. We hope to be able to sponsor 1 more child later this year. Photos of Hospital visits can be seen on our new photo album click here.
We have so far been lucky with the weather in April & have managed to avoid the rainy days on the golf course.
Last week we had our M.A.D. (masters adoption day) weekend, starting with the pairings draw on Friday & the parent & child golf day on Saturday. Good fun was had by all on both days, the gross winners being Tim Yeo & Alex Wallace & the net winners Tommy Moose & new member Annette Lloyd. There was a little confusion on return to Big Bamboo with seating not available & slow service, the committee has taken this up with Big Bamboo & we have been assured it will not happen again. We have also instructed Amyboo to phone Big Bamboo when the bus is rolling. Amy will also pre order drinks if so required.
This weekend 19th / 20th April SGC take on the UZO golf society in the Cross Straights Challenge.. look out for the report on that weekend coming soon. 26th April we are at Lake Hill for the April Monthly medal. There is a new road built so we short make the journey a little quicker. Don't forget to book for the gala dinner on June 5th.
Thanks to our sponsors Big Bamboo, Trios Wines & Lincoln Electric. & near pin sponsors Sasha's & Bukhara.
