130 years of Hong Kong Golf Club

In 1889, the Hong Kong Golf Club was established in Hong Kong by Gershom Stewart and Murray Rumsey, with "Festina Lente" as the club motto. The Hong Kong Golf Club has a history of 130 years, witnessing the development of Hong Kong society and forming an important part of Hong Kong's history. The Fanling course, in particular, includes the clubhouse, which was built in 1911 and is rated as a Grade II historic building, and the snack kiosk, which was put into use in 1918 and is rated as a Grade III historic building. This book presents a comprehensive picture of the Hong Kong Golf Club's 130-year history of actively promoting golf in the territory and contributing to Hong Kong society with rich textual materials, detailed oral interviews, and precious historical pictures.
