I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

The guests came to the Deep Water Bay Golf Course from 9:00 in the morning. They all chose to chat around the edge of the tee, and took time to walk onto the tee to practice a few shots under the guidance of the coach or caddy.

With so many people hitting the ball, today's golf course workers are overwhelmed, but that's nothing compared to the exorbitant wages.

There were more than 30 guests, and no more than ten people could play golf, but undoubtedly many people became interested in this sport.

Before lunch, Wu Guangyao invited twelve guests (only twelve caddies) for a friendly match between China and Britain in the afternoon.

"Sir Wu, since it's a competition, should we show some prizes to improve the visibility of the competition?" Financial Secretary Guo Bowei said confidently.

What Guo Bowei said is right, since it is a competition, there must be a lottery, so that everyone will be motivated!

"It seems that Sir Guo is very confident. Well, our Deep Water Bay Golf Course will take out a 5,000 Hong Kong dollar coupon as a prize for this event. The top three with the best results will receive 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, 1,500 Hong Kong dollars, and 500 Hong Kong dollars respectively. Hong Kong dollar consumption vouchers. This consumption voucher can be used to order food and coffee at the Deep Water Bay Golf Course, and it is guaranteed to be worth the money.” Wu Guangyao quickly thought of the prize, and it is obviously not effective to directly talk about the money, that is to use the Deep Water Bay Golf consumption vouchers.

"Haha, Sir Wu has spent a lot of money!" Guo Bowei saw that Wu Guangyao was very straightforward and knew how to do things properly, and he immediately liked him a little more.

There are six people from the Englishman's side, Governor Blackie, Sanders, Keswick, Shiyock, Guo Bowei, and Qi Dezun. eager to try;

There are also six Chinese here, Wu Guangyao, Huo Yingdong, Dong Yunhao, He Shanheng, Zheng Yutong, and Zhao Congyan. Of the six, only Wu Guangyao has practiced before, and the rest are first-time contacts. But Wu Guangyao saw that they were very interested, so he asked everyone to participate a bit.

Wu Guangyao's skills are not bad, because before the golf course opened, he has played golf many times;

Coupled with the selfless teaching of the two England coaches, Wu Guangyao is also full of confidence and has no intention of letting these British guys.

Today's Deep Water Bay Golf Course opened, and Eastern News Agency also dispatched reporters and writers, so the gold content of this game is quite high.

Lunch is held at the restaurant on the second floor of the golf course building. The Deep Water Bay Golf Course has all the facilities. Even if you don't play golf, you can still spend a day here.

1 pm,

The game officially started, 12 people were divided into three groups, and each group had 4 people to start a duel;

The Deep Water Bay Golf Course has a total of nine holes, and the distance between the holes varies, with a total length of 2888 meters;

The whole game time is expected to be about 2 hours, because this is a nine-hole game;

If it is an 18-hole standard golf course, the time may be about four hours.

Wu Guangyao, Guo Bowei, Keswick, and Shiyock, four self-confessed golf veterans, formed a group and planned to compete.

The first hole, starting and ending at 468 meters (the whole distance is less than the sum of nine holes, and the straight-line distance is short), four people hit golf balls one after another.

After hitting a beautiful long-distance ball, Guo Bowei was in high spirits, and the conversation started suddenly, and he said to Wu Guangyao: "Sir Wu, playing golf is more suitable for people over 40 years old. Self-cultivation, come to the wild to breathe fresh air .The sport is very popular in the UK and a lot of people play it."

Guo Bowei's words were full of gunpowder, and it seemed that he was in high spirits today.

"I personally feel that luck is also a part of strength. Today I may be luckier than everyone else!" Wu Guangyao responded unwillingly. At this time, Wu Guangyao was also interested, and he was also determined to win the first place.

However, in terms of strength, they are obviously behind a few people, but they are full of confidence.

"Luck will not exist forever, Mr. Wu must understand this truth!" Keswick said suddenly.

Wu Guangyao was taken aback for a moment, Keswick's words meant something, but today seemed a bit out of date.

The two belonged to competitors, and Wu Guangyao even defeated Jardine Matheson several times, but generally speaking, it was just a normal commercial competition.

Even if Wu Guangyao did not have this kind of competition, there would have been Chinese and British businessmen in the 1960s and 1970s. Logically, it would not affect the historical trajectory too much.

However, Wu Guangyao's development is too fast, these British foreign firms may be envious!

"I've always been lucky!" Wu Guangyao retorted.

Guo Bowei frowned, today is a game, can those business affairs not be mixed in.

The first hole ended quickly, and Wu Guangyao only ranked in the top three in this group. The first two were Guo Bowei and Keswick, and the fourth was Shiyock.

Wu Guangyao didn't take it seriously at all, there were nine holes in total, and the total score was calculated later.

On the second shot of the eighth hole, Wu Guangyao hit a club and felt good instantly. Sure enough, when the ball was in the air, the caddy yelled 'Eagle, eagle. '

At this time, the other three were dumbfounded, because the strength and arc of the ball are very good. If it is really a two-shot hole, it is a rare chance in the whole of the UK several times a year.

The eighth hole starts and ends at 480 meters. According to the rules, professional golfers get into the hole with five clubs, and professional players get into the hole with six or seven clubs. It is also a very good result; these two holes are rare once a year. If you encounter it, you will be wronged.

At this time, the young man's physical advantage became prominent, and it instantly became a kind of strength.

The ball did not go in after all, and stopped at a distance of less than three meters from the hole;

But the eagle has not yet flown, as long as the third hole is still an eagle ball.

On the third shot, Wu Guangyao did not disappoint everyone and scored steadily.

In the first seven holes, Wu Guangyao was 5 strokes behind the leader Guo Bowei and 2 strokes behind Keswick;

Obviously, in this hole, Wu Guangyao may rank first, or be on par with the first.

Sure enough, at the end of the eighth hole, Wu Guangyao and Guo Bowei had the same total score of 62; while Keswick was 65 and Shiyock was 68.

The fewer scores, the better the score, so Wu Guangyao and Guo Bowei are the best scores in this group. I believe that the results of other groups will be better every month in this group.

I was especially nervous on the last hole.

Guests other than the competition, as well as reporters and staff, all came up;

Even the other contestants were not interested in competing (the results were too poor), so they gathered around.

Every time Wu Guangyao hits a ball, he looks at the terrain and wind direction before changing another bat;

The caddy in green and white, carrying twelve clubs on his back, received one by one, and cooperated very well with Wu Guangyao.

On the first shot, Wu Guangyao hit a good ball, flew over a small pond, and landed in the middle of the fairway.

In the second shot, the ball almost flew into the bushes, but fortunately rolled down the slope;

The third shot, beautiful, flew down the fairway like a swallow;

The fourth shot, full of strength, landed firmly on the finish line.

Seeing that Wu Guangyao's ball hit the finish line first, the audience applauded one after another. It was great, four balls hit the finish line.

At this time, the other three people in the same group were a little anxious, especially Guo Bowei, who had been firmly occupying the first place in the front. Unexpectedly, Wu Guangyao played so well in the last two holes!

A par-3 on the eighth hole is definitely a master-level performance; and a par-4 on the ninth hole is also a professional-level performance.

Once the mentality is tense, it will naturally affect the performance!

In the fifth shot, Guo Bowei also hit the ball on the finish line, and the other two were still under the ramp.

And Wu Guangyao was also quite nervous at this time, he pushed forward lightly, kicking the ground ball, but unfortunately he didn't make it, but the distance was much closer.

Guo Bowei did not score in the seventh stick, but Wu Guangyao scored, wonderful!

Wu Guangyao waved his fist happily, walked up to Guo Bowei politely and said, "Sir Guo, you admit it! My luck today is indeed good enough!"

Guo Bowei smiled wryly, and said, "Although, as you said, luck is also a part of strength; but you made a three-shot hole on the eighth hole. Entering the cave is also rare once a year. Admire it!"

The first golf competition on Hong Kong Island is slowly coming to an end. I believe that with the reports in the newspapers, this sport will become a sport for the upper class on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, because of the golf course built by Wu Guangyao, it is naturally unlike history. Golf in the early days of Hong Kong Island belonged only to foreigners.

Deep Water Bay Golf Course has no restrictions of skin color, only a symbol of strength.

The reporters of the Eastern News Agency were particularly excited. Their boss had actually won the first place, which deserved a good report.
