The St. John’s College Alumni Association (SJCAA) is delighted to report that the 19th Aquila Golf Day was a tremendous success, bringing together 44 alumni golfers for a day of friendly competition and cherished camaraderie under brilliant sunshine.
The event was blessed with excellent weather, providing the perfect backdrop for a day on the greens.
The spirit of St. John’s was palpable as participants, including about 30 alumni who used the coach service arranged by the Association, arrived at the scenic Phoenix Hill Golf Club.
Upon arrival, all participants were warmly welcomed with a special gift: dual-colour cooler golf sleeves featuring the St. John’s logo and a beautiful Aquila design.
After a quick lunch, the official proceedings began with a ceremonial tee-off conducted by our esteemed guests: Mr. Vincent Chiu, Dr. Terry Chik, Mr. Ivan Fu, Mr. Kevin Tang, and Ms. Chi Chan. The ceremony was officially opened in spectacular fashion as our guests drove out special exploding golf balls, signalling the start of the competition.
Following this, 11 flights of golfers moved to their respective tee spots for a shotgun start.
After nearly five hours of spirited and friendly competition, the results were as follows:
