The players and commentators often talk about the Amen Corner at the Masters. So what’s the Amen Corner? 球員和評論員經常談論的美國大師賽的阿門角，到底阿門角是甚麼？ The Amen Corner was nicknamed by writer Herbert Warren Wind in an article in Sports Illustrated. It refers to a 3-hole section of the back nine of the Augusta National Golf Club, Hole 11, Hole 12 and Hole 13. Herbert came up with the moniker because of the spectacular way Arnold Palmer played on those holes and went on to win his first Masters in 1958. 阿門角是由作家赫伯特．沃倫風在看過阿諾．帕爾默在奧古斯塔國家俱樂部的後九洞中其中三個洞的精彩表現後命名的。阿諾． 帕爾默亦在 1958 年贏得他的第一個大師賽。作家赫伯特．沃倫風後來在 Sports Illustrated 的一篇文章上給該三個洞命名為 阿門角，這三個洞分別為第 11、12 和 13 洞。
Why do golfers yell “FORE” when they hit an errant shot? 為甚麼當球員把球打歪了的時候要喊 “FORE” ？ “FORE” means ahead. In golf, it means to warn the others ahead of you to “watch out for”. It is considered not only as good golf etiquette but also as a courtesy to other golfers by warning them and avoiding injury. FORE 是指前面，在高爾夫上是指「注意！」，用來警告前方的人你的球可能會打到他們。懂得在打失時喊 FORE 亦是良好的 高爾夫禮儀，同時也可以防止其他球員受傷。
What should I do if my ball is stuck in a tree? 如果我的球卡在樹上，我應該怎麼做？ You have 3 options! Option 1: Play as it lies. Option 2: Take unplayable – declare the ball unplayable under Rule 28, then take a one-stroke penalty and drop ball within two club-lengths of its original position. Option 3: Lost ball – accept the penalty for a lost ball and proceed under Rule 27. A lost ball incurs a strokeand-distance penalty that means a one-stroke penalty and returning to the spot where you last hit the ball and replaying the shot. 你有三個選擇！選擇 1：在球所停之處繼續打。選擇 2：不能打時，根據高球規則第 28 條，宣告停在樹上的球為無法打之球， 先被罰一桿，再在不靠近球洞為前提下，以球點為圓弧中心，在兩枝球桿的距離範圍內拋球繼續打來解決。選擇 3：當作遺失 球計算，按照高球規則第 27 條罰一桿，在回原地重打。
What is the penalty for playing a wrong ball? 打錯別人的球的懲罰是甚麼？ In almost all cases, there will be a two-stroke penalty in stroke play. Except when your ball is in a water hazard, in that case, there will be no penalty. The player must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules. 在幾乎任何情況下，在比洞賽打錯球的懲罰是損失一個洞，在比桿賽中的處罰則是加兩桿。如果球是在水障礙的話，這種情況 下不會有處罰，但球員必須按照規則返回原處重打。
Who is the the only female golfer to win LPGA Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year, and the Vare Trophy in the same season? 哪一位女球員是唯一一位在同一個賽季贏得 LPGA 年度最佳新人、年度最佳球員、以及瓦爾獎杯的球員？ Nancy Lopez in 1978. 來自美國的南希．洛佩茲，當年是 1978 年。

18 Grams of Coffee, 18 Kilograms of Taste Located in the sleepy district of Sai Kung in the New Territories of Hong Kong lies a small relaxed coffee shop that has been gaining a reputation for producing a great tasting cup of coffee. 18 Grams has several branches located across Hong Kong. Its first coffee shop was opened in 2011 in the district of Causeway Bay. Originally serving only coffee, it has branched out providing food and other beverages. The original plan was to have a shop dedicated to only coffee but market conditions meant it was necessary to provide the other services. In fact, when they first opened, they had no menu and passers-by would walk into the shop to find out what they sold. The Sai Kung branch, the fifth shop, opened not long ago and there are further plans to open a sixth in the Sheung Wan district in the near future.

For better colouration and adhesion, lipsticks often leave aside the need for moisturisation putting stress on the skin of our lips. Cut off from air and moisture, lips will appear sunken and wrinkled, evidenced by the appearance of dead skin. Our advice is to use lipstick when make-up is required and removing it as soon as it is convenient.
How can we protect our lips in dry weather? Moisture evaporates fast from our skin’s surface in dry weather. Apart from collagen, our lips are 90% water. Dryness causes wrinkles and dead skin on our lips. Day and night moisturisation is advisable. Remember to use all natural ingredients including vegetable oils, bee’s wax or honey. Also, when ultra-violet rays are strong, sunblock is required.

CLPGA NEWS
Liu Yi-Chen at the Zhuhai Classic
May the CLPGA be with you 女子中巡常與你同在 With no tournaments scheduled in April on the CLPGA calendar, we look back to the Zhuhai Classic in March where Liu Yi-Chen of Chinese Taipei was on fire on the last day reeling off five birdies over her last 10 holes to capture the title by two strokes. The victory was her first CLPGA Tour win and not only did she finish with a five-under score of 211 but also pocketed the top prize of RMB¥75,000. May is looking to be a packed schedule with four tournaments starting off with the Buick Ladies Invitation from 14th to 17th May followed 2 days later with the U.S. Women’s Open Sectional Qualifying, a great opportunity for players in the Asia Pacific region to qualify and compete at one of the majors. The Bank of Qingdao Golden Mountain Challenge is up next where last year’s winner Lin Tzu-chi of Chinese Taipei should be making an appearance to defend her title given her sensational victory in 2013. The capital will place host to the Beijing Challenge at the end of the month. At last year’s event, Thailand representative Wichanee Meechai won her first international tournament shooting a nine-under 63 round, a CLPGA Tour record. Let us see who in May will be triumphant. 女子中巡雖然四月份並無任何賽事，但三月的珠海精英賽中，台灣的劉依貞在最後一日賽事後來居上，在最後 10 洞以皇者姿態抓了五隻小鳥，總桿 211，低於標準桿五桿。這令她以兩桿之差勝出她的第一場女子中巡賽事，贏 得人民幣 75,000 獎金。 五月看來可以令一眾高球愛好者大飽眼福，四場賽事以 5 月 14 至 17 日的別克女子高爾夫邀請賽作開首，緊接 的是美國女子公開賽國際區域資格賽，令亞太區球員有機會考取大滿貫賽事的資格，與世界好手同場競技。至於青 島銀行金山挑戰賽，希望上屆冠軍林子麒會再次出戰並成功衛冕。於中國首都舉行的北京挑戰賽將於五月下旬舉行， 上年的冠軍由泰國代表瓦查尼以低於標準桿 9 桿的 63 桿奪得，成為她個人首個國際賽事冠軍之餘，同時創下女子 中巡紀錄。 且看五月之冠究竟花落誰家。
