DSOBA Golf Day - February 17, 2006

Our annual golf day was held at the beautiful Kau Sai Chau public golf course on Friday, February 17. There were a total of 29 participants of which 16 were old boys and 13 were guests, of the 13 guests 4 were ladies.

 

To make the event more enjoyable, all par 3's were marked with a prize for closest to pin and hole 17 was marked for 2 longest drive prizes, one for men and another for women.

 

In order to avoid incorrect handicap reporting and to give everyone a chance of winning, scoring for the tournament is based on the New New Preoria format, whereby 6 holes are drawn and discarded after the tournament and the scores from the remaining 12 holes are used to calculate the individual's handicap for the day, which is then subtracted from the player's gross score for his 18 hole round to decide the winners.

All participants were eligible for the champion, 1st runner up and 2nd runner up trophies. The DSOBA President’s Cup trophy, to be presented at our AGM, is reserved for DSOBA member.

Conditions on the South Course where we had our tournament was ideal, the day was cool and breezy and to add to the challenge, the wind caused some problems with a few of the holes. The day began with the first tee-off at 12:09 and ended with a sumptuous dinner buffet and prize giving ceremony.

 

The winners are:

 

Men’s longest driveLewis Leung (84)
Women’s longest driveApril Chuen
Closest to Pin:Helena Tsui
 Patrick Lee (83)
 Spencer Leung (83)
 Kenneth Lau (83)
Champion:S.A.L. Rahman (71)
1st Runner up:Jerry Chang (80)
2nd Runner up:Manson Chan
DSOBA President’s Cup winner:S.A.L. Rahman (71)
We thank all participants for their support and look forward to more members and guests participating in this fun and healthy sport.

DSOBA 2005 - 2006 Tennis Tournament

Team Spirit” had players including Clement Lee, Jerry Chang, Louis Wong, Selwyn Chan, Roger Wong and William Wan while“Team Challenge” had players including Ronnie Cheng, Leung Sze Wai, Sammy Tam, Patrick Chan, Eugene Chow and Vincent Cheung. 
In the new format, our “NSS” (Not-So-Scientific) seeding system initially ranked the players on each team from seeds 1 to 6.  The first round matches had each seed play a total of four games against their corresponding rival seed.  In the second round’s cross-over matches, the Number 1 seeds again played four games against the Number 2’s while the Number 3’s played against the number 4’s, and finally the Number 5’s against the Number 6’s.  Three doubles matches of 8 games pro-set were to follow after the singles.  In the end the team with the higher total of games won would be declared the tournament’s champion.
Team Spirit was up at 14 against 10 at the end of the first round singles with convincing victories from Clement and Roger.  Ronnie and Sammy of Team Challenge then scored well in their cross-over singles helping to narrow the gap slightly.  By the end of the cross-over singles round, Team Spirit had 27 games versus Team Challenge’s 21.  With the doubles left to play, it was hardly a foregone conclusion.  Both teams were strategizing their line-up’s hoping to maximize the chance of victory but as luck would have it, rain came soon after the first pair of doubles began play and the tournament had to be suspended.
With the Chinese New Year holidays at the end of February, it took a while until March 26 to resume the doubles matches.  Unfortunately we were only able to gather enough players for two matches due the many reasons.   This time however, Team Challenge with the help of Sammy, Patrick, Eugene and Vincent caught up with two victories and evened up the score at 37 games apiece.
It was only fitting to bring out the big guns for the final showdown.  With the championship title on the line, the top seeds of both teams – Clement / Louis, Ronnie / Sze-Wai made their commitment to slug it out on April 30 under a revised format of best-of-three tie-break sets.
In the end, Clement/Louis claimed victory with a convincing score 6-0, 6-1.  Fresh off his campaign at the April’s Hong Kong Nationals, Clement was still as much the dominant player as ever.  The final score had hardly done justice to the valiant effort put out by Ronnie and Sze-Wai.
On behalf of the DSOBA, I must also appreciate all the players for their wonderful spirit and love of the game to produce the exciting see-sawing battle sprinkled with fun and camaraderie. 
The individual names of the winning team will be engraved  on the President’s Cup  and souvenir trophies for each player will be presented at the May 11 AGM in Central.  Hope to see you all there!

Received from Winnepeg, Canada. Apr 2006.

Friend & Schoolmate Daniel,

So good to know you're alive and well, thinking of your old schoolmates. As you may well know, DBS Old Boys are the finest people on earth, but most don't ever write, even with the modern convenience of e-mail. I guess it's because we were brought up half-a-century ago. We made copies by hand. We even wrote lines -- a hundred times -- by hand.

By this e-mail, I hope my DB/GS Schoolmates in Canada, U.S. and elsewhere will voluntarily get off their rocking chairs to send you some photos that I haven't even seen. I will personally follow up with a few who might keep photos of their class reunions here and abroad.

One question I'd like to raise is: When do you think DSOBA will make an honest attempt to reach out and include overseas Old Boys, so we may get back into the swim of DBS family affairs again? If you have neither seen nor heard much of overseas Old Boys or Old Girls in recent years, I assure you that we're not dead yet. Better hurry.

Best from Robert Sung Kien-Tung, DBS'55



From the open prairies, somewhere south of Winnepeg, warm greetings to my DB/GS friends who have kept the faith to keep in touch, sometimes, or once in 50 years. Just want you to know that I’m thinking of you.

I imagine there are vast stretches out there where you can look 360 degrees all around to see only land that meets the sky. People here call it “God’s Country.” No small town in No Man’s Land, because Walmart has arrived, open 24 hours year-round.

I’m in Stromsburg with my wife, to celebrate Mom Avis’ 95th birthday. May we all live this long, in good health, to enjoy two huge cakes, which are now ready for the party to begin. I’m sure someone here will offer a prayer:

I Jesu namn,
Till bords vi ga,
Valsigne Gud
Den mat vi fa.

Amen.

So, we all come to the table, asking God’s blessings of food (and friendship) we receive. Amen.

Greetings from Washington DC
Teddy Leung '58

ImageHello Fellow DBS Alumni,

Greetings from Washington DC.

Shall we dance? Shall we chat? Shall we reconnect?

In recent years, every time I stop by DBS, invariably I learn of some classmates retiring and of some reporting to St Pete's Gate, let alone our teachers and headmasters, whose familiar faces and names are on the ever-shortening list. We learn in high-energy particle physics of time reversal. For us, however, the arrow of time is but one direction.

Since graduation we have spread out to seek our world. With the Internet, we have again reconnected. Shall we share our experiences, our achievements, and our sorrows? Here we can find each other again.

“Tho’ much is taken, much abides: and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are:
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, and not to yield.”

— Tennyson, an abridge from BJ Monks poetry class.

No kidding. Can we once again find those youthful faces in the 50’s
and 60’s in the DBS hilltop? A guy with thinning gray hairs was
grinning at me from the mirror this morning. Do I know that guy?

Do not compute eternity,
As light-year after light-year.
One step across that line called ‘Time’,
Eternity is right here.

Time is of our own making,
Its clock ticks in our head.
The moment we stop thought,
Time too stops dead.

Come on, fellows. Let us dance. Let us chat. Let us reconnect.

Warm Regards,
Teddy ’58.
