Golf has long been associated with the business world, and Vancouver is no exception. Golf can be an intimidating sport to learn. The various equipment and intricate etiquette of golf can be overwhelming for first-timers. The UBC MBA Golf Club was founded with the goal of making the sport of golf more accessible and beginner friendly.
Monthly Events: Each month, we hold several “range days” where we take members to the University Golf Course to learn and practice our fundamental golf swing. The Golf Club will also hold several screen golf events throughout the year in a more social setting. Finally, we will apply everything we have learned in a friendly scramble game, marked by good times, laughs, and plenty of chunks (you’ll learn what this means later)!
These events have limited capacity. Please RSVP!
Co-President: Christian Zalli (Handicap +0)
Christian is a semi-pro golfer and professional caddie. Christian fell in love with golf after making his first hole-in-one at 4 months, 3 days, 17 hours, only using his bottle. Christian now devotes his time to growing his Instagram fanbase, uploading golf training videos. Christian is the lead instructor for the MBA Golf Club.
Co-President: David Lim (Handicap: +25)
David can be found most weekends on the golf course or the range, cursing the Scottish for inventing the game of golf. David first started his love-hate relationship with golf three years ago, learning from his uncle, who regularly taunts him. David hopes to pass on this age-old tradition to other unsuspecting victims.
Co-President: Jerry Zhang (Handicap: +30)
Jerry was first introduced to golf caddying for his sister, who is a much better golfer than Jerry. Now, Jerry can be found terrorizing the BC wildlife with his slices and miscalculated golf shots, contributing golf balls to the golf course ecosystem. Jerry is well known for being the friendliest in the room and is excited to share his eight favourite sport.
