What a perfectly heavenly day Saturday was glorious sunshine, and just enough women at Fanling to go around. Add to this the fact that the boy at the nineteenth holo mistook me for a Bank Manager-don't think I should feel flattered and allowed me to sign.chite, and you sec the adjective heavenly (or should it be heavily?) was Justified. Other people seemed happy, too. AT THE HOTEL
