In Honor of Hugh Lee


When we think about Hugh Lee, we think of many things. In 1968, as president of the Oakland Chinese Golf Club, Hugh was instrumental in discussions that led to the formation of the Federation of Chinese Golf Clubs two years later. Hugh served as Secretary-Treasurer of the Federation from 1970 through 2000.

Over the years, Hugh served as president of the Oakland Chinese Golf Club many times, and was president of the Federation from 2008-2012. In addition, Hugh was always front and center with the history of the Federation and willingly passed that history along to new generations of officers. The Association website is testament to his knowledge and communication.

In the spring of 2019, at Hugh's suggestion, the Federation was renamed the Association of International Golf Clubs to represent our international flavor, having clubs in Victoria and Vancouver, Canada.

During the large tournaments sponsored by the Federation (Association), Hugh could generally be seen either giving out trophies and prizes, or receiving them. Thus the relatively large number of photos that speak to these roles. As much as possible, I've included the years in which these photos occurred.

In short, the Federation wouldn't have existed without the effort os Hugh over the years. In turn Hugh was supported by Shirley who also took home many prizes during those years together.
