On 11 April the Kellett Golf Society (KGS) held its monthly golf tournament at the KSC South Course. It was a great day for golf, with 24 players participating in the event. The tournament was played in the Stableford format, which is a popular scoring system used in golf.
After a competitive day on the course, the winners of the tournament were announced. Patrick Pender emerged as the overall winner with an impressive 46 points. Tom Tam and Andrew Wong also played a great game, finishing in second and third place with 42 points and 36 points respectively.
When it came to longest drive, and nearest to the pin, the winner were to Will Hornby, Amr Elhenawy and Steve DeKrey.
The KGS monthly tournament is a great way for members to come together, enjoy a day on the course, and compete in a friendly and supportive environment. With different formats and courses each month, the tournaments offer a fun and varied experience for all players. Congratulations to all the winners for an impressive performance at the April tournament!
We also had the pleasure of being invited to compete against the Hong Kong Football Club Golf Society (HKFCGS) in a golf match at the beautiful Macau Golf and Country Club. The match was played in the very exciting 4BBB format, with each team consisting of 12 selected players. The KGS team was led by our captain, Rene Theil, and we were determined to win the competition.
The match was highly competitive, The KGS team got off to a strong start where David Leung and Chris Li won the first match and we managed maintain our lead throughout the game. We won four out of the six matches played, securing a 4-2 victory over the HKFCGS. This was the first time that the KGS had won against the HKFCGS since 2014.
Overall, the KGS vs HKFCGS was a successful event and it was a pleasure to see the golfers from both societies come together and enjoy the game of golf, we look forward to more friendly matches in the future.
