Membership (back)
- Guests who fail to turn up for an event without giving 24 hours notice to SGC will be expected to pay a “no show fee” of RMB 500 as SGC are most likely liable to pay this to the golf club for loss of part of one flight.
- Members whose introduced guests fail to turn up as per above, will be held responsible to pay the RMB 500 no show fee.
- Members should never turn up on a scheduled golf outing without making a booking. The SGC do not own the golf course.
- SGC also frequently plays mid-week golf on Wednesdays (normally 12:30 to 1pm tee off and only when the weather looks good). Guests are welcome to join these games at any time as we always have room and it is a good way to get to know SGC members.
- To book for a mid-week game (we do not have a bus mid-week), simply drop an e mail to sgcbooking@yahoo.com and ask to be included if there’s a game on. The committee will reply to you fairly promptly.
- The SGC website has additional information on our club, though the basics are simple:
- We play almost every Saturday of the year and on occasions, Sundays.
- We hold three major tournaments each year, several away trips in China and several away trips overseas. (In recent years we have been to Thailand, Taiwan, New Zealand, Ireland)
- We are a golfing social club and as such, mix the groupings to avoid cliques. Requests can be made to play with specified partners on occasion.
- Annual dues are RMB 1000 a year and each paid-up member receives a club shirt & cap each year. RMB200 of each member’s dues is allocated towards a Charity that the committee selects.
- We are sponsored by Trios, importers of quality wines, Lincoln Electric, Sashas and the Big Bamboo sports bar. Trios sponsors weekly prizes of quality wine, Lincoln Electric with trophies and Big Bamboo provide us with transport to and from each venue, plus a “home pub” where members have a few toots after golf (and during the week, as the mood may take you).
- Tianma Country Club is our base and roughly 25% of SGC members are members at TCC as well. We play Tianma every alternate weekend and gain very competent support from the club.
