The February KGS Golf Day #1 (7 February) was played at KSC with four flights on the South Course and two flights on the North Course. It was another stunning day, with blue skies all over the duration of the round. Eight players played the beautiful North Course, enjoying this walking course while the temperatures were still acceptable.
All 24 players played for themselves with the Stableford playing format.

The KGS Golf Day#2 (23 February) was again held on the beautiful grounds of the Hong Kong Golf Club, OLD Course where golfers of all skill levels were able to showcase their abilities on the challenging course. The 32 members of the KGS were divided into 2 teams, each with a unique combination of players competing in a 4 ball better ball format, where players formed teams of two and played their own ball. The better score between the two players on each hole was recorded as the team score for that hole. This format allowed for friendly competition and teamwork among the players.
The Golf game saw some incredibly close matches, with many teams battling it out until the very last hole. In the end, the team B emerged as the champions. The highlights of the day was that Vincent Lau made a dramatic hole out for an Eagle 3 on the sixth hole. “What a shot! Vincent!” Congratulations!
As with the previous tournaments, the event was not just about the competition, however. It was also a time for the members of the KGS to come together, share stories and make new friends. After the round, the players gathered outside the Verandah for a delicious meal, a few beers and awards ceremony, where prizes were given to the top teams and individual players.
Tom Tam, David Lee, Simon Wong & Niels Jensen became winners of Closest to pin & longest Drive!
Overall, it was a fantastic day of golf and socializing, and it is already generating excitement for next event. The KGS members are looking forward to another great tournament at the KSC South and the chance to come together once again for a day filled with golf, friendship, and fun.
