Youth, enterprise and innovation are all ambitions the HKGC has actively been targeting and promoting in recent years. "There are many youngsters playing at the club, from age six, and if you look at the development over the last 20 years, there are a lot more ladies playing, especially on weekdays," says Doo.

Leading the charge is Tiffany Chan, winner of the Hong Kong Ladies Open in 2016, who has since turned professional

and competes on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour alongside the likes of Lydia Ko and Michelle Wie.

"She's the first Hong Kong player to play in the LPGA," says Doo, proudly. "It's similar to Yao Ming playing the NBA." He says Chan's rapidly become a role model. "She's a real inspiration to the younger Hongkongers. They all want to emulate her." He also mentions Isabella Leung and Michelle Cheung as future local stars in the making.

To further popularise the club, the HKGC has launched initiatives to "attract a younger audience and develop their stronger interest in the game." The club works with the National Sporting Authority, providing a venue for free training for their members, some of whom are below the age of ten. Last May, the HKGC hosted the first Hong Kong Inter-Secondary School Golf Championship. Supported by the Hong Kong Schools Federation and the HKGA, the inaugural event included teams from 20 local and international schools throughout the city. Via the Inspiring HK Sports Foundation, which supports underprivileged youth in Hong Kong, a group of 25 students also enjoy weekly professional instruction by HKGC coaches at the club's Fanling facilities.
