Do you have a favourite course in HK?
Hong Kong does not have many courses, but they are all pretty good. I like playing at my home club, Shek-O. The club completed the course renovation works last year and now we have 18 beautiful greens that will be great to putt on the whole year round. I also like the composite course at Fanling which I get to play once a year during the pro-am of the UBS Hong Kong Open when it is always in perfect condition. Clearwater Bay is another great course I enjoy playing in Hong Kong.
And your favourite in the world?
There are so many. I enjoy playing the links courses at St. Andrews and Crans-sur-Sierre in Switzerland, which I play a few times during my summer holidays. The view of the Alps is spectacular and playing at an altitude of 1,500 meters in dry air means that your ball will travel a lot further.
What have been your most memorable moment on a golf course?
When I aced the 9th at Shek-O. I didn’t hit the ball that well, but it all came good when it landed 8 feet in front of the hole and rolled into it.
