The HKBU ‧ Tibet 5100 Golf Day 2017 was held with great success on 3 November 2017 at the Eden Course of The Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling. It attracted 183 participants including 141 golf-lovers who formed 36 teams to take part in the tournament. The event successfully raised HK$1.43 million, the second largest amount since the Golf Day was launched in 2004, in support of the initiatives as set out in the University’s ten-year Strategic Plan. As one of the major fundraising and fellowship events, the annual Golf Day has raised an aggregate amount of HK$15 million in the past 14 years. As a token of appreciation, souvenirs were presented to Mr. Ron Tsang, Mr. Cheng Sing Yip and Mr. Lam Long Chau who have provided staunch support for the Golf Day for 10 years.
