Your 2025 Executive Committee will be gathering soon to work out the 2025 Season – we look forward to another year of good competition and much fun. In the meantime, the Los Angeles Chinese Golf Club is hosting an event in May and we wanted to share the details – please see below and the attached entry form. If you are interested, please submit your entry before the spots fill up!

Hello Clubs,
Would you please forward this email concerning Memorial Day Tournament to your membership…
The Los Angeles Chinese Golf Club is hosting a fun filled weekend in Palm Springs during Memorial Day Weekend!
It’s time to sign up if you would like to play in the Association of Internation Golf Clubs (iGolfClubs) 2025 Memorial Day Tournament.
Golf dates are Saturday May 24 & Sunday May 25 – with an optional Practice Tournament (complete with cash prizes) Friday May 23.
We’re playing a couple of really nice resort courses – Mountain Vista at Sun Valley, Palm Desert. We’ll have a sit-down plated dinner on Saturday evening and a BBQ Buffet lunch after golf Sunday. All iGolfClub members will have a chance to show off your golf skills and possibly win cash and prizes. We’ll even have a guest flight also with cash prizes. In addition, we’ll have some optional fun games.
There’s lots to do in the desert area besides golf. I would mention everything but you’re better off doing a google search.
Temperatures while we are playing golf Saturday and Sunday should start in the high 60’s and end up in the 80’s by the time we finish. If you play the optional in the Friday Afternoon Practice Tournament (also iGolfClub team match), plan on temperatures in the 80’s and maybe up to the low 90’s.
WE HAVE 80 PLAYING SPOTS AVAILABLE – so don’t hesitate, SIGN UP EARLY. Once we reach 80 players, it’s a crap shoot if we can get additional playing spots.
WE’VE SET UP A BLOCK OF HOTEL ROOMS. We have 30 rooms blocked until about April 15 at the Courtyard Hotel, Palm Desert – about 4 miles from courses and dinner / lunch. We also set up a block of 15 rooms (they cost a little more but have a free breakfast starting at 6am each day) at Comfort Suites, Palm Desert – about 1 mile from courses and a few miles from dinner / lunch. The booking links for each hotel are below.
And finally, please find attached the entry form for our Memorial Day Tournament. The best way to enter is to fill out the entry form and mail it with a check payable to Los Angeles Chinese Golf Club (no abbreviations please). If you’re into Zelle, you can also Zelle the money and scan / email the entry form – that info is also below.
