Golf Day 2006

Our annual golf day was held at the beautiful Kau Sai Chau public golf course on Friday, February 17. There were a total of 29 participants of which 16 were old boys and 13 were guests, of the 13 guests 4 were ladies.

To make the event more enjoyable, all par 3's were marked with a prize for closest to pin and hole 17 was marked for 2 longest drive prizes, one for men and another for women.

In order to avoid incorrect handicap reporting and to give everyone a chance of winning, scoring for the tournament is based on the New New Preoria format, whereby 6 holes are drawn and discarded after the tournament and the scores from the remaining 12 holes are used to calculate the individual's handicap for the day, which is then subtracted from the player's gross score for his 18 hole round to decide the winners.

All participants were eligible for the champion, 1^st runner up and 2^nd runner up trophies. The DSOBA President’s Cup trophy, to be presented at our AGM, is reserved for DSOBA member.

Conditions on the South Course where we had our tournament was ideal, the day was cool and breezy and to add to the challenge, the wind caused some problems with a few of the holes. The day began with the first tee-off at 12:09 and ended with a sumptuous dinner buffet and prize giving ceremony.

The winners are:

We thank all participants for their support and look forward to more members and guests participating in this fun and healthy sport.
