HONG KONG, 22 Feb 2016, (HK Golfer News Wire) - Chloe gained valuable on-course experience in various tournaments over the last 12 months. She finished 5th overall in the recent Hong Kong Ladies Close Amateur Championship 2016. Last December in the 2015 Dr.George Choa Cup, her excellent score of 69 in round two helped Team HKGA-1 secure the title.

12-year-old Chloe is in her third year of golf and currently practices three to four times a week with the HKGA Junior Squad. Her average driving distance is 230 yards. Speaking of Chloe’s performances, her father Henry believes there is plenty of room for improvement. “Her short game is her weakness,” said Henry, “The good thing is she is a humble learner.”

Off the golf course, Chloe enjoys playing basketball, running and javelin throwing. The athletic blood certainly runs in the family, as Chloe’s younger sister, 7-year old Zoie also enjoys playing golf and has taken part in junior tournaments held by the HKGA.
