HKFC were represented by 3 Pairs. Jonny Brock and Oli Guest, Phil Head and Marco Jorge, and Andrew Wood and Matt Burke.    

Jonny and Oli started very well and were looking good for a top finish in the Individual Pairs Gross competition, until they both took 7’s on back-to-back Par 5’s. Jonny had won this competition with another partner in the inaugural year, but lightening didn’t strike twice. Oli enjoyed his first outing in this tournament and played well. Would could have been. They finished 4^th out of 48 Pairs, 4 points behind the winners.

Debutants Phil and Marco had not even met before, but it just shows that natural talent is the key ingredient, as they managed to ham and egg very well, ending up with the Runners- Up spot in the Individual Pairs Gross competition. They finished 2^nd out of 48 Pairs, just 1 point behind the winners. Phil also took the booty for his near Hole-in-One on the 5^th hole!

Andrew and Matt had a Runners- Up spot in the Individual Pairs Gross competition in 2019 and were trying to make it one better. Starting off on the 4^th hole, the hardest on the course, they were always behind the 8-ball. Trying to make up for lost ground, they finished very well, but couldn’t quite finish in the prizes this time. They finished 12^th out of 48 Pairs, 3 points behind the winners.

HKFC GS had 79 points and tied 7^th out of 16 Societies, 5 points behind the joint winners, HK Seniors GS and Little Sai Wan GS. 

All in all, a splendid showing by our golfers who all played to a high standard and represented the Club well on a really fun day out. Many thanks to Tim Orgill, HKGC and all the sponsors (particularly Gweilo beer 😊). We all look forward to the next edition.
