Club Championship

The terms under which the Championship has been played have naturally varied slightly as the Club grew. In 1894, 1895 and 1896 it was played on a knock-out basis over 54 holes (6 rounds) but in 1897 it was played over 36 holes, and until 1902 these 36 holes had to be continuous with no stopping for lunch. From 1903 an interval for lunch was permitted after the first 18 holes. The early Championships were played of course at Happy Valley and the first time the competition was held at Fanling was 1914. The Club and Junior Championships now follow the same format with the best 16 qualifiers going into the match play rounds.

Jasper Clark Cup/Stroke Play Championship

Jasper Clark won the first Club Championship to be held at Fanling in 1914. Despite being lame he volunteered for service with the Forces in 1915 and was killed not very long afterwards in France. His widow presented the Cup in his memory in 1919 with a request that it be played for as close to St. Andrew's Day as the Committee might arrange. This is the premier stroke play competition of the Club and is played over all 54 holes at Fanling. The Old on Saturday is followed by the New and Eden on the Sunday.
