¡°A
golf club is a kind of long-term investment.
We are lucky, since the economy of China
has been developing so rapidly, especially
in the region where we are. We have
had a good investment environment, and
we have grasped good opportunities.
The result is satisfactory naturally.
All this stems from the hi-speed development
of the country¡¯s economy and a stable
social environment. Therefore, I dare
allege to become No.1 of the world.¡±
-- Zhu Shuhao
Dreams Come True:
From Asia No.1 to World No.1
From the construction
of the golf court to the promotion events
of inviting Tiger Woods, Zhu Shuhao
took only ten years to make Mission
Hills Golf Club well-known to the world.
Presently, several
years have passed by. During the 13
years, Zhu has invited 10 world-class
design masters to design a 180-hole
unparalleled golf court among the 20km2
hills and waters between Shenzhen and
Dongguan, and made it the only club
integrating styles of the five continents
among 50,000 golf clubs of the world.
In Mission Hills Golf Club, there is
a superb golf environment with an investment
of over 3 billion HK dollars, including
luxurious chambers, five-star hotel,
village club, David Leadbetter Golf
Academy, and golf villas. There are
also newly added comprehensive sports
facilities for tennis, racket ball,
table tennis, volleyball, and badminton,
as well as health-building center, SPA
center, and children¡¯ playground.
This dreamlike
plan in some people¡¯s eyes has been
implemented and realized with fantastic
effect. A once poor small town has now
become an attractive fortune land. All
this should be attributed to Zhu Shuhao.
Pinehurst Golf Club of the United States,
which has eight standard 18-hole courts,
took one century to become world No.1
of its time; Zhu Shuhao took only 1/10
of a century to refresh the world record.
At the starting
period, Mission Hills Golf Club was
oriented to become ¡°world-class and
Asia No.1¡±. Now, the target changes
to ¡°world No.1¡±. Of this point, Zhu
said, ¡°From the first day, we have been
planning to build an international community,
among which there are comprehensive
locations for recreation, conference,
sports, and residence. In China featuring
the hi-speed development of her economy,
especially in the Pearl River Delta,
Mission Hill Golf Club is a must. Therefore,
after having constructed the golf court
gradually as per our plan, we go on
constructing other facilities.¡±
¡°Mature investment
environment and international supporting
mode¡± is what Zhu Shuhao talks about
the most during various interviews.
Why? For the reason, Zhu Shuhao answered
slowly but without any hesitation, ¡°A
golf club is a kind of long-term investment.
We are lucky, since the economy of China
has been developing so rapidly, especially
in the region where we are. We have
had a good investment environment, and
we have grasped good opportunities.
The result is satisfactory naturally.
All this stems from the hi-speed development
of the country¡¯s economy and a stable
social environment. Therefore, I dare
allege to become No.1 of the world.
Otherwise, for such a big court, even
if I successfully built it, it would
not survive long¡±
Zhu¡¯s Mission Hills
Golf Club always focuses on international
matches. He said, ¡°In the past, we hosted
30-plus international matches. In the
future, we will continue to host such
influential matches, such as the Dynasty
Club. Meanwhile, we will try to host
some other new international matches,
so as to let more domestic spectators
to watch the matches and let more domestic
players to participate in matches of
higher levels.¡±
Nowadays, Mission
Hills has become the world largest golf
court. Hearing some other domestic golf
clubs plan to build golf courts as large
as that of Mission Hills, Zhu Shuhao
said, ¡°It is a good thing. If this sporting
item can be promoted and popularized,
it will be the best! With more people
accepting it, the entire golf industry
will become more and more developed.¡±
