SONG HOI-SEE
Founder & CEO, Plaza Premium Group
My goal for this year is to maintain my passion for golf. I first started about 15 years ago and I find it to be the most therapeutic activity. I consider golf as part of my self-cultivation process, because I always reflect upon myself after each game and feel determined to play better in the next. It also offers many valuable lessons on how to stay focused and positive. I have a group of over 30 golf buddies across various industries, and we organise monthly golfing retreats. I treasure these outings because it is a great way for me to catch up with friends, which can be challenging due to our busy schedules. So far, we have played in Hong Kong, Auckland, Canada, China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea. As long as there’s a nice course with beautiful landscape and, more importantly, a variety of authentic restaurants nearby, these matches can take place anywhere in the world. When it comes to playing a good game, I focus on the surroundings as well as what’s in front of me. While you might think you have the control over the ball, the reality is you don’t as the results can be influenced by many factors, such as the terrain, weather, wind speed and so forth. But whether it’s a good or bad shot, I always play with my full potential so nothing really stops me from moving forward.
