劳动节三天的假期过得太快了，留给每个人很多美好的回忆！ 加上30位番薯藤俱乐部的球手，这次出行的人数达到了80个人左右。这是我们俱乐部成立以来最大规模的一次高尔夫远足。这里面还有很多的老人和孩子，能够成功的举办一个这么大规模的活动，离不开我们俱乐部的每个人的团结合作和奉献，我感受到了俱乐部强大的凝聚力！我们也加强和和番薯藤俱乐部的友谊，大家互赠了纪念品。成功的举办这样的一个大型活动，要感谢的人非常多，感谢Steve Yang和Martin 为我们找到了住的旅馆，就在夏兰湖的水边，不但让我们玩了水上排球，还能听着涛声入睡。Jason Dai和Steve还带来了自己的船，让我们会员坐船，玩滑水，让我们的小孩子们都玩得非常愉快。Sherry帮忙组织了家属游船和远足。Ren Jin, King和Xiao Yuhong负责烧烤采买，帮助我们成功的举行了湖边烧烤。Grace帮助我们负责收费的工作有条不紊。另外要感谢我们的家属，是你们常年的奉献，让我们能够享受高尔夫的乐趣！向你们致敬！
The labor day holiday was over and it sure will leave us a unforgetable memory, golfers, families and kids alike. Together with 30 golfers from Formosa club, we have reached over 80 people for this events. This is a new record in our club’s history. Anybody will know that it’s hard to organize it perfectly with such a big number of people. Thanks to the great team spirit from our members. The three days are packed with joy and excitement. From the intense golf competition, to the lake side barbecue, to the Poker tournament, to the boating and water surfing on the lake, to the wine tasting in the winary. I see laughters from heart of everyone. Thanks for our families, we can’t have so much fun without your year round contribution!
This is indeed intense golfing, individual game in three consecutive days. Our players definitely endured great tests. Among the 22 players that start the first day, there are 16 players who have finished 3 days of golfing. The fantastic 4(horses) have bring us a lot of fun. They are: James Dong, Kerry Hu, Eric Zhao and Steven Lou. The competition among them was full of up and downs. Like any PGA events, it’s very hard to predict who will become the final winner. For the first time, our members starts to place some bets on whom to win, this is a lot of fun. After three days’ of intense competition, two players really stand out: James Dong and Kerry Hu. They have tied for the first place and won the player of the year for club808 in 2013. Let’s congratulate them!

Day 1:
It seems we had a great game today with Formosa club, we are doing 1:1 competition with their top 22 players. Even though we lost most of the games, but our top players Steven lou, kerry hu and Eric Zhao did show Formosa that we have great potentials! Congratulations to Steven Lou, he is on the top of the leader board with two stroke lead of the second. Kerry and James Dong tied for the second place with 2 strokes behind! Erric is right bebind and 3rd place. Steve is the 5th place and Roger and Chengjin Huang tied for 6th.
We also had a wonderful barbecue! Everybody helped out and made it really memorable! My favorite is the sausages and chicken wings, joicy and Yamee! On the family member side, Sherry organized a great cruise tour today and we are looking forward to the hiking tomorrow.

非常的巧合，这次比赛的总杆数前三名都姓赵，而且其中的前两名Eric 和赵宇都来自四川。这次Eric打出了俱乐部有史以来的比赛最好成绩72杆，只在标准杆以上两杆。这说明我们俱乐部的水平在不断上升，而且我们在80杆以下的选手达到了3名。而且有更多的选手打进了80杆和90杆，真是群英倍出！Bruce Zhong打出了82杆的好成绩，以净杆数62杆将净杆数第一名揽入怀中，他七月底参加了与LPGA Legend 女子世界球手的友谊赛，深得密传和真经，球技见长。真乃功夫不負有心人！求艺勿忘拜须眉！不论是82杆还是62杆净杆都是一个非常好的成绩。衷心地向他祝贺!
值得一提的是而我们的冉冉升起的童星Ivan Zhao，已经开始发出耀眼的光芒，不但以最小的年龄拿到了开杆最远奖，还包揽了离洞最近奖和总杆数第三名。我们的下一代已经成长起来，可谓长江后浪推前浪！所以我们要坚定不移的把我们下一代的项目继续推广下去，希望广大的家长集思广益，让我们的下一代早出成绩！

晚上的颁奖仪式就在 Echo Falls 球场的会所举行，大家品尝到了可口的牛排，三文鱼西餐。最值得振奋的是我们得到了俱乐部有史以来最大的一笔捐款$3000现金来赞助俱乐部十月份的比赛。Martin Pei作为赞助人代表将支票交到了会长手中，并做了简短的演讲。赞助人非常看重并认可808俱乐部在西雅图华人界的贡献和地位，并且希望这是一个开始，808俱乐部将进一步赢得更多的热心公司的赞助。我们再一次向该公司的代表Martin Pei 表示崇高的谢意! 也希望我们的会员把我们俱乐部的理念和活动广泛的传播，以至吸引更多的新会员，得到更多的赞助！

由王医生赞助的808俱乐部的健康杯高尔夫球赛圆满的结束了，比赛的场地在Spanaway的Classic golf course举行. 这个球场景色优美，同时也有很高的难度。是PGA职业球员Ryan Moore的主场地。一共有40多位选手参加了比赛的角逐，Bellevue的华裔现任市长李瑞麟也参加了比赛，并为比赛开杆。

比赛当天的天气非常好，而且气温适宜，为我们的球员展现了西雅图最美的夏天。比赛异常激烈，而且每个队都打出了不少的好球。在球场上留下了很多的精彩瞬间。最值得一提的是李市长在第八洞推出了一个超长的30码的小鸟推，绝对达到了PGA职业选手的水准。

本次比赛由Steve Yang，Kim，Bruce Zhong, Jason Dai所在小组勇摘桂冠，他们以低于标准干4杆的成绩取得了净杆数冠军。由Greater China董事长Ben Zhang带领的国际纵队，最后打到了低于标准杆15杆的成绩，拿到了13个小鸟球和1个老鹰球，但是仍然没有拿到净杆数的冠军。说明了这次比赛的激烈和球员的水平之高。除了这些能和PGA职业球员媲美的球手，我们还有头一次上场的球员，结果在队友的鼓励下现场学习也越打越好。最后在下半场贡献了很多精彩击球，体现了808的团队合作和互相学习。

本次比赛的最长开球奖由俱乐部现任主席陈硕获得，
比赛的离洞最近奖分别是：Ben Zhang, Kevin, Yu Zhao, Ren jin.
