Jock’s Pot Goes Li-ward

The 12th annual Hong Kong St Andrew’s Society Golf Tournament took place on a glorious mid-November afternoon at it’s traditional home of Shek O Country Club, newly fully reopened after a major renovation and in superb condition

Jock Mackie, the late local legend who started the event, wanted to give Society members the opportunity to experience his beloved Shek O, one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. As such, he would have been delighted to see his eponymous prize going to the big-hitting Oliver Li, worthy winner with 39 points on a countback after a blazing 23-point haul on the back nine. In addition to the trophy and a magnum of bubbly courtesy of Armit Wines, Oliver won a voucher for US$4k of training from Black Isle Group. Shek O member Robin Hammond was best guest, and was delighted to receive a leather football signed by legendary Tottenham Hotspur players - including several World Cup winners – donated by AIA. Robin also carried off a fine bottle of The Singleton 18-yr old.

Thanks to TTI, former Chieftain Fiona Donnelly was able to add to her collection of vacuums, again winning Best Lady player with a fine 35-point performance.
