The Hong Ning Oriental Golf Day took place on 25 October 2026 at the Glenvista Golf Course and was a great success. Although this was a departure from our normal venue at the Glendower Golf Course, it proved to be a far more intimate event.
Once again Ernie Lai King, Executive Chairman of Northbound Processing, was the major donor for our event with a truly magnanimous contribution of R350 000.00.
Last year Ernie also donated R250 000.00 for this event.
Ernie had also enlisted Ocean Partners as an additional donor of US$ 5000.00.
A huge vote of thanks to Ernie for his part in facilitating an extremely enjoyable and successful event.
Ernie also arranged for Dr Riaad Moosa to be MC for the evening and provide humour and entertainment for the guests.
Ernie’s son, Craig, gave a very polished opening address on behalf of Northbound Processing. We were also graced by both senior staff and colleagues from Northbound Processing and Ocean Partners who all thoroughly enjoyed the event and commented on the professional manner in which it was run.
A special vote of thanks must go to all the sponsors of the individual golf holes and in particular to Keith Ho from BetXchange who is also a significant sponsor.
To all our regular sponsors, thanks again for your continued support
Once again, the TCA Women’s Federation under Shirleen Man and the Hong Ning Committee were involved in co-ordinating and preparing the golfers’ packs, manning the registration desk and arranging and serving the food. Winkin’s beef flank went down well as usual as we had many take away requests.
To Daniel Fokming and Tyler King, the 2 young gentlemen who went around selling raffles on the day, and everyone at registration desk, the total raffles sold raised in excess of R 25 000 for the day, which was a record for all Golf days. A special congratulation to all! We are also greatly appreciative of the 65” Google TV donated as the raffle prize by Skyworth.
For all the players who took part in the event, both our regulars whom we look forward to seeing every year and new players, thanks for participating and making the event such a fun filled success!
A special mention must go to Mr Galen Wai of Zigzag Signs who printed the banners reflecting the hole sponsors free of charge. Mr Wai has done this for all previous golf days as well for which we are extremely appreciative.
Last but not least, a huge “thank you” to both Darryl Fokming and Gary Ting Chong for organizing and co-ordinating the event. The administrative and logistical effort that goes into this event is very intense and requires dedicated and passionate organizers and once again you have excelled beyond everyone’s wildest expectations.
On behalf of the residents, staff and committee of Hong Ning we would like to express our extreme appreciation for all the effort and support given to this event by all concerned!
