Jock’s Lot

From playing in the Open Championship to setting up Hong Kong’s most popular supermarket chain, Jock Mackie has been a success both on and off the course

The Jock’s Pot

Jock has held a number of positions at various clubs and societies throughout Hong Kong, including Chieftain of the Hong Kong St Andrew’s Society. To encourage the continual growth of golf in the SAR, the Mackie Quaich Golf Match – or “Jock’s Pot,” as it is more commonly known – is played every May at Shek O Country Club.
This year’s match was won by Stewart Saunders (seen here receiving the “Pot” from Jock) with a Nett Stableford Score of 41 points. Charles McLaughlin was a very close second (40 points), with Shek O captain Jim Mailer finishing in third place on 37 points.

Those interested in participating in 2010 should contact the St Andrew’s Society at admin@standrewshk.org. –A.J.
