NAVAL DOCKYARD A.E. Davies Wins Captain's Cup Competition At Kowloon G.C.
BRILLIANT RECORD FOR PORTSMOUTH PLAYER
(By "Birdie")
THE ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD is particularly fortunate in its golfers this year. What J. T. Smith has done at Fanling, A. E. Davies is doing at Kowloon, for since last writing of this latter player, when he annexed the Kowloon G.C. Club Championship from R. K. Collings, after turning four down, he has won the Captain's Cup. The final for this trophy was played on Sunday afternoon, and he beat T. Lamb (9) by 4
and 3.
This is the first occasion at Kowloon on which a player has won both the Club Championship and the Captain's Cup in the same year. In his possession now are the Coogan Cup (1989), the Junior Championship (1939), the St. John of Jerusalem Trophy, the Visitor's Cup at Fanling, the Club Championship and the Captain's Cup.
Davies is a Chief Physical {
Training Instructor in the Royal Naval Dockyard, and his Home Club is Portsmouth.
On Sunday, Davica won the first hole with a bogey four, Lamb having driven into n bunker to the right, and having put his approach shot into the flanking nullah. The End who halved in four's.
