Editor's Note 主編的話 11-year-old Lucy Li entering the U.S. Women’s Open must be one of the biggest golf news stories in May, together with Tiffany Chan’s national champion title in Daytona State, topping off some recent remarkable history making performances. With many more young golfers soaring higher in golf, this will certainly become a thriving sport in the near future! Our joyous June edition is once again a cultural journey for our readers. From the story of Olivia Cheng whose achievements are rooted from dance; another facet of Siam, the Thai Country Club; Lok Man Rare Books - the exquisite antique book shop, to a serene dining experience at the Chi Lin Vegetarian, a garden in the city. As for golf, it’s time to focus on the short game with our stress free tips and techniques. Practice may be the key to great golf, but it’s the enjoyment and relaxation that counts! Last month’s Profile interview with Elsa Tang was held at the Intro Wise Tea House, Fore Girls apologises for the omission and we would like to extend our gratitude to them. Lucy Li 年僅 11 歲已取得美國女子公開賽資格、陳芷澄得全美學 院團體及個人賽冠軍兩宗新聞可謂五月份高球界的熱門消息。看着越 來越多年輕球手登上世界高爾夫的路徑,我們也希望這項運動能更受 大眾關注。 六月份的 FORE GIRLS 將帶領讀者來個文化之旅。從鄭文雅由舞 蹈開始的故事、展現暹羅另一面的泰國鄉村俱樂部、書香濃郁的「樂 文」古籍書店,到鬧市尋幽的志蓮素齋,應有盡有。至於高球技巧, 是時候看看我們的高球教室,練習一下短桿功夫了。努力練習故然是 打好高爾夫的必要條件,但可不要忘記要樂在其中! 上期人物專訪鄧睎文的訪問場地由中惠茶舍提供,有所遺漏,本 刊謹此致歉。

As a player attempts a stroke at the ball, they discontinue their swing during the downswing but before reaching the ball. Is there going to be a penalty? What is the ruling on that? 當球員試圖擊球時,他在球桿未到達球之前終止揮桿。在此情況下會否有任何處罰? If the player discontinued their swing voluntarily during the downswing, they are deemed not to have made a stroke. Therefore, there will be no penalty. 如果球員在球桿未到達球時自願停止揮桿,不算犯規,因此不會有任何處罰。
If a player briefly searches for their ball and declares it lost and tees up another. Their original ball is then found in a water hazard less than five minutes after the search began. What is the ruling? 如果球員無法找到自己的球,宣布這個球失去了並回原地重打。但他在不到五分鐘後在水障礙區內發現第一球。那該怎麼處理? They may play the original ball or take relief under the Water Hazard Rule with a one stroke penalty. 他可回原地重打或在球落點與球洞連線後方拋球續打,罰一桿。
In what circumstances can players touch their line of putt without penalty? 在哪種情況下球員可以觸碰推桿線而不受懲罰? With their towel to remove loose impediments. 若只用毛巾除去浮沙,便不受懲罰。
If you accidentally step on your ball while searching for it, is there a penalty? What’s the ruling? 找球時不小心踩到自己的球該怎麼辦 ? The player can take a one shot penalty and put the ball back at the original spot, or take a two stroke penalty and continue to play where the ball lies. 罰一桿,把球拾回原地拋球再打,或罰兩桿從該處續打。
Who is Babe Zaharias? 薩哈蕾亞斯是誰? Babe Zaharias was named the 10th Greatest North American Athlete of the 20th Century by ESPN. She is the first and only female player who has made the cut in a PGA event. Babe qualified in each PGA event through a 36 holes qualifier as opposed to sponsor exemptions. Her highest finish on the PGA tour was a 33rd place at the Phoenix Open in 1945. Babe is also one of the LPGA founders and an Olympic field champion, winning two gold medals at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic. 薩哈蕾亞斯在 ESPN 二十世紀最偉大北美運動員排名第十。她是曾在 PGA Tour 獲得晉級資格的第一位和目前唯一一位女性。 貝貝是通過每一個 PGA 的 36 洞預選賽而獲取賽事資格,而非由贊助商豁免。她的 PGA 巡迴賽最佳成績是 1945 年鳳凰城公 開賽,當時排名第 33 位。貝貝也是 LPGA 巡迴賽的創始人和奧運田徑冠軍之一,在 1932 年洛杉磯奧運會贏得了兩枚金牌。

Perhaps it is time to slow down the pace once in a while to relax and enjoy the quieter moments that life has to offer. Amidst the commercial district of Central, should you find your way to Chancery Lane in the Soho area, you will discover a quaint little book repository called Lok Man Rare Books where you can acquire extremely rare pieces of literature dating back hundreds of years.

For All the Tea in China 中 國 茗 茶 文 化 Legend has it that tea was first discovered in China thousands of years ago when an emperor while on a journey with his army to a distant region stopped to rest. The emperor preferred to drink boiled water believing it to be cleaner and so as was normal, his servants would serve the emperor boiled water. Only on this occasion, a dead leaf from a wild tea bush fell into the water and turned the water a brownish colour unnoticed by the servants. The emperor subsequently drank the new concoction and found it to be most refreshing. Hence, tea or as the Chinese call it 'cha' was born.
眾所皆知,茶是由中國而來的,其起源傳說有二,一是《神農百草經》記載:「神農嘗百草,日 遇七十二毒,得荼而解之。」這是茶葉藥用之始。另一傳說是神農氏在樹下燒水休息之時,一陣 微風拂過樹梢,幾片翠綠的茶樹葉隨風飄落在燒開的水中,神農氏飲用後發現茶水變得清香甘甜, 飲後更覺神清氣爽、精力充沛,自此茶便常為中國人飲用了。

L’Origine de Orlane Founded in 1947, Orlane is a beauty brand integrating cosmetic science with 'skin re-education'. The Italian Giraudi family then acquired Orlane in 1985 as part of the cosmetics group Kelémata and even before then, this international brand has been influencing the world of anti-aging skincare under the leadership of Dr. Giraudi’s daughter and Managing Director Raffaella with laboratories in France and Japan, as well as beauty institutes in many countries such as Belgium, Mexico, and China. In 1968, Orlane’s signature product B21 cream was introduced in France to celebrate Orlane’s 21st anniversary. This cream product was worth a month of a labourer’s salary! 'B' in B21 stands for the biological ingredients which was so innovative at the time and '21' for the amino acids essential for healthy skin. Here in Hong Kong, Orlane is launching their B21 Extraordinaire in spring 2014 to relieve your skin from the damp weather, with a light-weighted gel form liquid that penetrates deeply and instantly, leaving your skin with a refreshing and lovely fragrance of pale blue iris.

Buick Ladies Invitational 別克女子邀請賽 14-17th May, 2014
The Buick Ladies Invitational, a four-round tournament that features a pro-am format over the final 36 holes was held at the par-72 course of the Shanghai Qizhong Garden Golf Club. The focus of the tournament certainly fell on Thai player Pennapa Pulsawath who roared to the top of the leader board in the previous rounds, Shanghai amateur player Ye Lei, and Pan Yanhong who returned from the Japan LPGA. Pennapa, who was leading in the first 54 holes shot a score of 77 in the last round, totalling 287 (72-62-66-77) and finished tied for third with 12-year-old Ye Lei (73-70-73-71). Ye Lei also
won the Best Amateur Award and was Team Champion with Zhao Zhe Hua. They scored an 11-under 133 (65-68). Team prize of RMB¥25,000 was awarded to Zhang Zhihui, a professional player in second place. National Team player Zhang Yuyang was overall second with scores 69-70-73-72. China’s former power-lifter Pan Yanhong simply flexed her muscles in the last round leading the first nine holes. A sudden three putt at Hole 12 had made her refocused, creating a six under 66 champion for the tournament. “I wanted to prove myself since I lost my Japan LPGA Tour card,” said Pan after picking up her second China LPGA Tour victory. “I wanted to tell myself I’m good enough to win on the tour. Therefore I tried my best each tournament and I am excited to make it today.” Her first victory was at the Wenzhou Yangyi Challenge 2011.
