he largest field in Hong Kong amateur golf assembled late June for the Bolle Midsummer Classic. Played over the New Course at the Hong Kong Golf Club, over 300 local golfers took part in the annual two-day event, although thunderstorms on the first day meant the high handicap tournament had to be curtailed. No such worries for the lower handicappers on day two however. As is usually the case at the Midsummer Classic, the tournament was played in extreme heat and humidity but despite this, several players put in notable performances. Hong Kong Golf Club member Paul Cheng used his local knowledge to record an excellent one-over-par round of 71 to take the Men's Gross Strokeplay title from Winston Wu (72) by a stroke. Lucas Lam and Evan Yung finished a further four shots back on 76. In the Ladies' Gross Stableford division, juniors Christy Chong and Michelle Ho both carded 28 points, with Chong prevailing on count back. Bonnie Yen placed third following her 25 point haul. "The Bolle Midsummer Classic is always a highlight on the local golfing calendar," said HKGA Chief Executive Iain Valentine. "Our thanks to Andrew Cheung and his team at Bushnell Performance Optics Asia for their continued tremendous support of the tournament." 52
