We had a great 3 days of ACAMIS golf in Shenzhen with a wonderful group of players. Last year the tigers took 7th place in the 2013 team standings. This year the competition was stronger with more schools and larger teams. Despite this, the Tigers stood tall with the bigger schools and managed to move up to 5th place in the the team competition!

One of the biggest surprises was Brian who has improved SO much over the past year. He was able to shave 38 strokes off his 2-day score from last year to move up the rankings!
