The annual HKVCA Golf Day was a tremendous success with 63 eager golfers, a record number, teeing off in 16 flights under brilliant blue skies and warm sunshine. A windy day provided some challenges to the big hitters and, after completing their rounds, the tired golfers enjoyed a restorative lunch and the opportunity to share war stories. We would like to express our thanks to our generous sponsors, namely Platinum Sponsor Citi, Gold Sponsors Ernst & Young, UBS, and Lexington Partners, Breakfast Sponsor Davis Polk, and Aon, our Lunch Sponsor. We would also like to thank the Golf Committee, Impact Golf Management and everyone who participated for contributing to the success of this most popular annual event.
