Dear Members and Friends,

After the successful year-end gathering taking place last Sunday, we are going to kick off our next season events and programs. Thanks to our leadership teams, both board and management teams led by former presidents Arthur Zhang and Steve Yang, our club has held many great golf and social events, created a positive image in the community, and built an active platform for our members and friends to network through golfing.

We will continue to strive for excellence of our programs and expansion of our club. Our dream is to build one of the best Chinese clubs in the Pacific Northwest. Here are the three goals our club is aiming at this year:

• Expand member base and strengthen member relationship by means of various and tangible member benefits and awarding systems
• Build solid and broader social/business network through strategic partnership, traditional, new and large scale events
• Increase our publicity and expand our territory by allying clubs and golf teams in multiple region(s) so that our members will enjoy courtesy and convenience while traveling

So far the 2012 management team has contacted with Greater Chinese Chamber of Commerce which has several hundreds of members and over 1000 email recipients, with Seattle Chamber of Commerce which has more than 2,000 business members, with more than 20 golf courses and golf shops in this and neighboring areas. All of these organizations and shops and golf courses expressed their strong and vital interest in us. Some of contracts and memorandums of intent are under way. With these and more organizations work closely with us, our members will enjoy diversified golf experience, high and broader level social and business network.

Our team sincerely invite and encourage all of our members and friends 为我们的俱乐部, 再接再励, 同心同力, 同舟共济, 共创未来!

This kid is now tied for the 4th place at Shanghai Sheshan 3rd round. His CV is amazing:

张新军今年不到23岁，出生在户县的一个普通农家，初中毕业没考上高中，在西安国际高尔夫球俱乐部当保安，后来从保安到球童，张新军也逐步接触上了这项运动。当上球员，或许就能改变命运。“那时练球完全是为了生存。”张新军毫不讳言自己当时打球的初衷。

真正的转折点出现在2004年10月份，陕西省高协到西安国际高尔夫球俱乐部选苗子，当时还不到17岁的张新军被陕西省高协副秘书长丁杰看中，才真正开始自己的高尔夫球人生。“选拔时，张新军成绩并不是很突出，但从几次集训看，这小孩爱动脑子。”

接下来，陕西省高协支持张新军等球员参加了业余巡回赛，他夺得2007~2008年职业联赛配对赛的第一名，开始在业内小有名气。这个时候国家队开始选拔运动员，成绩突出的张新军入选国家队，成为西部地区唯一的国手。
