10月6号的天气非常晴朗，正如我们所期待的一样。一共46位高尔夫球手参加了808俱乐部金秋公开赛，其中包括10名Formosa的朋友。比赛进行的非常的激烈，大家的水平非常平均，就看谁的发挥更加稳定了。非常感谢我们的赞助商Martin Pei,他帮我们组织了一场非常精彩的比赛。Debbie Lin帮助我们的注册，Jim Zhao负责照相工作。

推杆比赛的最后赢家，俱乐部的黑马黄成金一路过关斩将，笑到了最后，获得了推杆的第一名。黄总的成绩进步是大家有目共睹的，学球不到两年的他，为了专心练球，专门在球场附近买了房子。而且拜我们华人的高手Leon为师，勤学苦练，天天泡在球场上。他一个星期练习的球超过一般人一个月的练习。功夫不负有心人，他终于可以和我们俱乐部里的最好的高手们同场竞技！

第一名： Chengjin Huang
第二名： Bruce Zhong
第三名： Wei Yan

团体奖的获得者不出我们所料，第一名是由我们的下一代优秀选手Ivan Zhao带队的选手们获得。他们的表现非常稳定，最后是以低于标准杆8杆的成绩夺冠。应该说，这个成绩与Ivan的长距离开杆，和精准的铁杆分不开的。我们向Ivan的父亲，Jim Zhao讨教他如何把自己的两个孩子培养成高尔夫的优秀选手，他一如既往的耐心跟我们讲解。庆幸的是，Jim Zhao负责808俱乐部的青少年高尔夫培养项目，这样能够培养出更多优秀的中国高尔夫选手。美国有的高尔夫培养得天独厚的条件，我们相信，下一个高尔夫老虎也许会从华人年轻人中产生！

净杆第一名： Ivan Zhao, James Chen, Polong Lin, Jingqiang Wu
净杆第二名： Yongtao You, Al Liu, Matt Yang
净杆第三名： Chengjin Huang, Roger Guo, Jin Ren, Kuangpin Hsu

总杆第一名： Eric Zhao, Bruce Lin, Tom Xia, Amy Min

我们的晚宴在Bellevue的华人餐厅鲤鱼门举行，我们邀请到了很多贵宾何媒体，如王医生夫人冯姐，西滨网的创始人，和侨报的记者等等。华人界著名的律师Jim Young也应邀参加了我们的晚会，他不但是我们的老朋友和忠实会员，还曾经与美国驻中国大使骆家辉共事。他帮助808俱乐部起草了很多重要的法律文档。是我们俱乐部的重要法律保障。

在比赛颁奖的现场，808俱乐部的主席Shuo Chen向Formosa俱乐部主席Al Liu赠送了29条印有808俱乐部logo的高尔夫毛巾，把整个颁奖典礼的气氛推向了高潮。今年808俱乐部和Formosa俱乐部共同举办了几场活动，包括九月初劳动节去Lake Chelan的高尔夫远足。两个俱乐部之间的互动和友谊达到了历史的高点。参与这场活动的有Formosa俱乐部过去几年的好几届主席，他们一致表达了对808俱乐部的感谢，并认为此次比赛举行的非常成功。808俱乐部也从Formosa俱乐部学习到了很多经验，包括一些新的比赛规则。这种良性互动一定会促进808俱乐部的成熟和成长。

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.

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.

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！
