Final Shot with Cameron Halliday

The General Manager of The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course talks to Alex Jenkins about how he was introduced to the game, his most memorable on-course moment and who would be in his dream fourball

The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course

What’s been your best ever round?

It’s not often that I manage to put a good round together but my best was probably the 69 I had on the North Course at Kau Sai Chau about 10 years ago. I went bogey-free, which is about as good as it gets for me. I also had a 70 on the Old Course at St Andrews. That was a brief moment of glory and it was a long time ago.

Who would be in your dream fourball?

Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Tom Watson - I wouldn’t play but I’d love watching them go round the Old Course at St Andrews together. If I had to play it would be me, my Dad and my children.

What has been your most memorable moment on a golf course?

I was dreading this question but I should to be honest. It would have to have been the 13 I had on the par-3 17th hole of the Eden Course at the Hong Kong Golf Club during the qualifying round for the Club Championship a few years ago. It’s all a bit of a haze now but there were multiple balls in the lake. It’s amazing how difficult it is to count when you go that high! Anyway, I then made a double bogey on the last and ended up missing qualification on count back.
