 Shanghai: Li Li Yun emerged the dominant force at Shanghai
Silport¡¯s October Monthly Medal as a field of about 40
players teed off under sunny conditions during China¡¯s
National Holiday celebrating the 60th anniversary of the
country¡¯s founding.
With the monthly medal being contested over the North and
West courses, Li, a 17 handicap, carded a round of 86 for a
nett 69 to claim the Group A nett runner-up behind winner
Miyauchi Tomonori who shot a 79 for a nett 68. With a Mizuno
putter for a prize, Li added to her honors when she claimed
the longest drive prize with 200 yards on the North Course
seventh hole.
Hae Hahn bolstered the strong showing of Silport¡¯s lady
members when she won the Group B nett champion honor. With a
27 handicap, shot a 99 for a nett 72 and received a Cobra
golf bag for her effort. Lin Jianmin finished runner-up as
the 20 handicap shot a 94 for a nett 74.
Others recognized on the day included Takabayashi Hirokazu
who captured the nearest-to-the-pin with a 7-yard on the
West Course eighth hole.
Michael Hager will be joining Li, Tomonori, Hae and Lin in
the December Grand Final to determine Silport¡¯s second club
champion as it was his name pulled in a lucky draw to gain
entry.
As the players enjoyed a buffet dinner following the
tournament, Silport General Manager David Chen announced
that Silport¡¯s East and Center courses would reopen on
November 1 in time for the Autumn Membership Invitational.

strictly for Silport members. All members are welcome to
