The Hong Kong Golf Club’s Deep Water Bay course was the venue for the fifth playing of the EFG Bank Junior Tour Grand Final in early January
The event, which was open to golfers up to the age of 14, proved once again to be a success and was highlighted by a number of fine individual performances. As sponsors of HKGA’s Junior Development Programme, EFG Bank's role in local junior golf is significant - and the Junior Tour illustrates the increased number of playing opportunities now available to budding young golfers in the city.
