The press conference for the 6th Vancouver Amateur Golf Team Interleague was held grandly last Thursday at the EG Indoor Golf Club. The event welcomed many heavyweight guests from the Greater Vancouver Chinese golf community, including representatives from eight participating teams, sponsors, media representatives, and more. The 6th Vancouver Amateur Golf Team Interleague, scheduled to kick off on June 5th at the Langley Green Tee Golf Course, will run for 24 days, concluding on June 28th.
The Vancouver Chinese Amateur Golf League began in 2016, interrupted for two years due to the pandemic, and resumed last year. This year marks the 6th edition, organized by the Vancouver Amateur Golf Team Interleague Committee, hosted by the West Coast Golf Club, with Amber Financial as the diamond sponsor.

The participating teams were divided into two groups through a draw. In Group A, the three champion teams—Baishi, Youlin, Huatai Golden Bear—were joined by the formidable Haiying team. Group B included the two-time champion Longqi team, the two-time semi-finalist West Coast team, the newly formed but aspiring champion Alliance Hua Tiger team, and the perennial participant Maple Leaf team.
The month-long league will unfold in four stages: group stage, challenge stage, semi-finals, and the final. It promises to be a grand event for the local Chinese golf community, providing golf enthusiasts with the opportunity to witness the exciting performances of the top players in Greater Vancouver. The event upholds its consistent mission of promoting mutual exchange and friendship among teams through golf.
