How often do you receive instruction? And what have you been working on recently?
I receive lessons once per week. I’ve been working on my lower body recently, like my legs and hips, you know, trying to make sure that everything is synched with my upper body so that I can hit good shots more consistently.
What advice can you give aspiring junior golfers in Hong Kong?
Obviously the best piece of advice I can give is to work hard, but I think the most important piece of advice I can give to junior golfers in Hong Kong is to remember to always have fun; if you are having fun, you will play better.
What do you believe is most important to a good round of golf?
Believe in yourself and don’t ever second-guess yourself! Once you make a decision, stick with it and don’t ever say that you wish you should have done something else.
What does your tournament schedule look like?
The majority of the tournaments I compete in are overseas events; I only play in a few HKGA events every year. I will play up to 25 events in 2011.
How do you find a balance between your social life, golf, family and school?
During the day I am more focused on golf and school. I do most of my socializing at night. Since I work so hard on my golf game during the day I really value the time I get to spend with my family.
Give us an idea of a day in the life of Liu Lok Tin...
I workout right when I wake up in the morning. Then I go to school until 4 pm, then I go back home for a little bit of a break. Then I head straight to the golf course to work on my game until dinner time. After dinner I do homework.
