4th Special Olympics Golf Masters tees off on Monday

From 20th to 25th April, the Special Olympics Golf Masters in Macau will host 25 teams from 17 countries, and Special Administrative Regions, from 4 different continents, reflecting further growth of the event which has metamorphosed from a purely golfing tournament into a multicultural, multi-social programme framed by art, music, dance, entertainment and sightseeing – the biggest programme of its kind in the big wide world of the Special Olympics. The event will be held on the greens of Caesars Golf Club, and the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Alexis Tam, has graciously accepted the invitation to launch the competition.
The official press conference was held yesterday at Clube Militar de Macau, at which Paulo A. Azevedo (President of the Charity Association of Macau Business Readers), Toby Leung (MGM Vice President of Marketing & Communications), Ada Lo (Chair of Macau Special Olympics) and Stefan Kuehn (Tournament Director) introduced this year’s event to the attending media.
Toby Leung mentioned that it’s never too late, never too early and never too much to honour and invest in causes that combine the diverse cultural history of this city with social responsibility, while Ada Lo announced the participation of the homegrown team that will treat this event as a warm up in preparation for the upcoming World Games in Los Angeles in July.
