Mr. Arthur Yeo Delivers Speech at the CAGC First Round Cultural Event and Opening Dinner
With the mission of “preserving golf culture, promoting the spirit of St Andrews, and fostering etiquette among amateur golfers,” CAGC is dedicated to creating a shared home for amateur golf enthusiasts across China, where members can exchange ideas and grow together. The club actively promotes cultural exchange between Chinese and international golfers, strengthens talent development, and fosters industry collaboration, serving as a bridge connecting China’s amateur golf scene with the world.
In his speech, CAGC Chairman Mr. Arthur Yeo stated:
"Chinese golf is standing at a new starting point. We must not only inherit past experiences and wisdom but also look to the future, ensuring that the voices of Chinese amateur golfers resonate more strongly on the international stage."
Looking ahead, CAGC will continue to advocate the core values of golf—integrity, etiquette, self-discipline, and respect—to promote the sustainable and healthy development of golf in China.
Mr. Raymond Tung, Secretary-General of CAGC, Delivers Lecture: “The Legend of St Andrews”
Through rich historical details and rare images, Mr. Raymond vividly presented the 600-year development of golf, tracing its journey from its Scottish origins to its global prominence. He highlighted the deep historical heritage and spiritual essence of the sport—from royal bans to royal recognition, from exclusivity for the nobility to popular adoption, from preserving traditions to embracing technological innovation. Golf embodies a century-long spirit of both preservation and innovation.
This lecture was not only a historical review but also a profound interpretation of golf culture, offering modern golf enthusiasts invaluable spiritual guidance and inspiration.
