Report on Project Skyhigh’s Training at Zhaoqing Golf and Country Club - 12 May 2014

 

Training for students of “Project Skyhigh - Youth Life Education Through the Game of Golf” was organized at Zhaoqing Golf and Country Club on 18 and 19 April 2014.  Warm-up practice on the first day was mainly for students to adapt to the course.  On the second day, tournament was held in the format of one stroke each for coach and student while the coach could only serve in a maximum of six holes.

On the first day morning, all coaches and students assembled punctually at 7:00 am in Lok Ma Chau.  After a long bus journey for over two hours to Zhaoqing, the students felt sluggish but they started to play with animation after lunch.  Although the students played especially hard under strong sunlight, they were attracted by beautiful scene in the course and finished the practice day in energetic mode.  As it was a special training, after then, students and coaches went to the Short Game area wearily.  The students continued to practice under the guidance of coaches for rectification their mistakes while playing.  They shared their funny things at dinner and the day ended in a happy atmosphere.

The students were warming up with their coaches at the driving ranges after they have their quick breakfast on the next morning.  All groups arrived at the starting tee around 7:30 a.m. and planned their winning strategy seriously.  Although they have well planning, they felt nervous because lack of experience of competition.  However, the students insisted to play accompanied by their coaches, all seven teams finished the competition with ideal results.  The winner were Tony Ho (Pro) and Ng Siu Man at 90 strokes, the 1st Runner-up were Mean Lee (Pro) and Luk Ja Yi at 92 strokes and the 2nd Runner-up were Danny Kan (Pro) and Cheng Lai Lai at 96 strokes.  Congratulations to all.

The two-day training was successfully completed.  All coaches and students were happy and have had beneficial effects.  We hope that the students will go a step further at the next training.

Project Skyhigh Christmas BBQ & End of Year Dinner

 

Time flies! It has been over four years since the inception of the Project Skyhigh.  HKPGA has all along been a staunch supporter to the Project.  In 2013, HKPGA agreed to include the Project as part of its youth golf training programme.

Since the Project targeted at youth coming from less advantage background in the community, the continuity of the Project depends on a group of devoted coaches who offered their energy and time to train the youth on voluntary basis.  The Project also owes much to Mr Yau Chi-ming, Honorary President of HKPGA who greatly supports the Project, among others, solicits financial support for the Project.

The Project has all along advocated not only teach the youth playing golf, it hopes through the game of golf, youth learn to be a righteous individual.  Hence, from time to time, the coaches would organize activities for the youth like in the recent X’mas and towards the end of the year of Snake, BBQ and end of year dinner were held for the youth.  Mr Yau joined both occasions and shared his life experiences with the youth in a relaxing atmosphere.  He was also so kind to give X’mas gifts to the youth to celebrate the festive season!

Report on of Professional guidance of technical posture activity in Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club - 17 August 2012

 

Professional guidance of technical posture activity in Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club was successfully held on August 1 and 2, 2012. The students of the “Project Skyhigh Youth Life Education Through the Game of Golf” were instructed by three professional coaches including: Kingsley Long, Grant Gibson and Eric Lee of the Clear Water Bay Golf & Country Club. Students have great progress in terms of swing shape, or skills under the instructions of these coaches.

Students were divided into three groups in the 2 days guidance. Each coach led a group with three to four students. Day one was the short game training, including chipping, bunker shot, pitching and putting. Through the careful guidance of coaches, students learnt a lot of short game skills, such as increase the angle of the clubface when playing greenside bunker shot and chip play high and short ball to the green. The second day of training was all about swing, coaches advised for each participant by recording their swing and then analyzed which part need to improve. Also each participant was instructed by taylor-made methods by facing the mirror and improved the up-swing posture.

Undoubtedly, all trainees tried their best to learn and improve, but we all understand that the ugly duckling is not transformed into a swan in one day, so we will strengthen more on our practice in the future. Finally, we are very grateful to the management of the “Project Skyhigh Youth Life Education Through the Game of Golf” to arrange such a special training for us, we also like to thank the coaches of the Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club to spend their time to guide us.
