After half a day of competition on Saturday, the 4th annual 'Investors' golden heart' golf tournament, organized in Ninh Binh province, ended with Nguyen Hong Hai winning the championship cup.

Speaking at the award ceremony, Pham Duc Son, editor-in-chief of www.theinvestor.vn and www.nhadautu.vn, head of the tournament organizing committee, said that the golfers had a morning of competition with wonderful experiences at the beautiful Royal Golf Course.

This year's "Hole in One" award - a Skoda car - did not find its owner, but many important awards were given to outstanding golfers.

"I always believe that good golfers are definitely people who live beautifully and have prestige. Because if your mind is not beautiful, you certainly cannot swing beautifully; if you are not prestigious, you will not have friends to play with. And it is wonderful that our publications have the honor of organizing a tournament to gather here today more than 140 people who live beautifully," Son said.

According to the editor-in-chief, over three consecutive seasons in 2022, 2023 and 2024, the "Investors' golden heart" golf tournament has raised money for thousands of scholarships, worth billions of VND (VND1 billion = $38,000).

They have been given directly to disadvantaged people and poor students who overcome difficulties and studied well in many provinces and cities across the country. Through the tournament, many golfers have gotten to know each other and connected in life and work.

"We are committed to working with representatives of sponsors to hand over the money raised through the tournament to people in difficult circumstances, especially poor students who have overcome difficulties and studied well," said Son.
