A s we move into our second quarter for the year, we bid farewell to our previous General Manager, COL (Ret) Richard Loong and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. With eager anticipation, we

welcome our new GM, Mr Ernest Ng and look forward as he leads the club toward developing SCC into a premium club that we can all be proud of. The 2019 Singapore Golf Association’s Inter-Club League has a new format - a round robin match play event without handicap allowances. Read more about this in the Ladies’ Corner, and if you are up to the challenge, why not volunteer to join the SCC League. One of the challenges for most golfers is chipping near to the hole, when you are near the green. In this edition of the newsletter, we share an easy way to simplify your chip swing and bring down your scores. See you at the clubhouse. Cheers! Eric Goh (Editor)

GM’s Message

D ear Members,

I hope everyone had a great time

catching up with friends and family

during the festive period. The year of the pig

kick-started with the Club’s signature event –

Fa Cai Golf. We are heartened to see members

enjoying themselves immensely amid rounds of

golf and the Yu-Sheng tossing ceremony.

Following Fa Cai Golf, we also had Members

Night with the engaging theme of “Around the

World”. Without further ado, let’s do a quick

recap!

Gold Medal 2018

For the Gold Medal game held on 26 January

2019, the overall winner for Men’s Division is

Mr Vince Wong Hee Jit and overall winner for

Ladies Division is Ms Megan Lim Kai En.

Congratulations to both and all winners of Gold

Medal 2018!

Fa Cai Golf 2019

Held on 16 February 2019, Fa Cai Golf 2019

received an overwhelming response with

fully-booked flights! Besides a wonderful game,

participants were greeted by a lion dance

performance at the clubhouse. They were then

treated to a sumptuous dinner, performance by

the “Monkey God” and entertainment from the

Melody Band. The event was topped by the

prize presentation for the winners and speech

from Club Chairman BG Dinesh Vasu Dash

wishing all a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Members Night

This year’s Members Night, with the theme

“Around the World”, was fully subscribed with

148 participants in attendance. New members

enjoyed the “New Members Introduction” as

they were invited on stage for a Bollywood

dance. Everyone was treated to a delectable

international buffet spread featuring Thai,

Japanese, Indian, Western and local cuisine.

Along with fun-filled programmes, the highly

anticipated lucky draw segment added to the

fun. It was indeed a memorable experience for

everyone.

WiFi Upgrading

You may be aware that in March, the Club had

been carrying out WiFi upgrading works at

several areas, namely the Clubhouse, Cozy

Café, Driving Range, Gym, Playroom, Pool,

Golfers Terrace, Banquet Hall, KTV and Lobby.

We hope that the improved WiFi connection

will enhance your experience at the Club.

Staff Excellence Award (Jan to Mar 2019)

I am pleased to announce the winners for the

quarter of January to March 2019:

Vijay (Male Changing Room Attendant) and

Christy (Female Changing Room Attendant)

from Operations Department, Siti (Customer

Service Assistant), and the Golfing Department

(for a well-organised Lady Cohesive Golf).

Thank you for your nominations, compliments

and feedback. Your encouraging words will

certainly motivate our staff to do their best and

take pride in their work. Do keep your feedback

and compliments coming. We will be glad to

know how we can serve you better.

Conclusion

Looking forward to the next quarter, members

can join our SCC Open 2019 in July 2019. On

the social front, the Club will be organising the

family and swimming carnival during the June

holidays, so stay tuned for further updates.

Before I sign off, I would like to thank my fellow

members for the support given to me during my

short stay with the club. I deeply appreciate the

camaraderie and happy moments we have

shared through these few months. Let us

extend a warm welcome to Mr Ernest Ng who

will take over the reins as General Manager. I

believe the Club will continue to excel under

his leadership.

GREETINGS FROM NEW GM MR ERNEST NG

D ear Members of Sembawang Country

Club, Hello and good day to all.

I am Ernest Ng, the newly appointed

General Manager of Sembawang Country Club.

Thank you for having me on board as your

General Manager. Having been away for a few

years, it is indeed heartwarming to return to a

place close to my heart and more importantly,

meeting old friends and comrades who have

walked alongside me in my almost three

decades of career with the SAF.

Having come to the end of my first few weeks

as GM SCC, it has been all what I expected

and better. The team in SCC continues to

deliver good work to the club even as I am still

learning the ropes. I have been touched by the

professionalism and dedication of the staff, as

well as encouraged by the warm welcome and

support from our members, the management

team and our EXCO. These all point to a

coherent team wanting to make SCC better

than before – something my predecessors have

built and I thank them for it. I will continue the

good work.

A little about myself and how we can walk this

journey to make SCC a members’ club and a

destination for celebrations and fun.

WHO AM I? I’m Ernest. Happily married to

Siew Yean and we have four lovely children;

Natalie(23), Nigel(19) and a pair of twins

Nahilus(13) and Nantres(13). Previously, I was

a resource strategic planner with the Joint Plans

and Transformation Department for about a

decade. I then spent a couple of years with NTUC

Club as their Director, Organisation Strategy and

Development before becoming the Executive

Director of Resorts Concept Pte Ltd. Outside

work, I am largely a family man doing what a

family man does. I sometimes do groceries

shopping, jog, play golf and I always enjoy eating

good food. The golf course is a perfect working

place for me because I don’t play water sports nor

watch soccer games. My simple philosophy in life

- live life and don’t let life leave me. I also hope to

be able to make life better for those around me.

I want to be able to work with my team and

members of the club to focus on our deliverables

for the coming years. We can work together to

make the club even more welcoming than she

already is. Little things matter so we must work

together and not only keep up the service

excellence, but up the ante to be even better. To

my team, let us work together to serve our

members wholeheartedly, and create a club that

our members can be proud of.

Thank you to President, Chairman and EXCO for

trusting me with this appointment to help bring the

club forward, looking at the long-term strategy

and development of the club. It is my sincere wish

for my team to want to come to work feeling

passionate about the work we do and the people

we work with. I hope to see the team taking pride

in what we do but most importantly, have fun and

enjoy what we do. And for our members, a club

they can be proud of and a destination

of choice to celebrate different phases of

their life.

Last but not least, I have really enjoyed

my first few weeks at work: lots of

laughter, food and good conversations. I

look forward to meeting you and your

family (where possible) on a more

personal basis and getting to know you

even better. Thanks for making me feel

welcome. It will probably be my greatest

joy going to work each day knowing I

can make a difference to my team and

to the members of SCC.

CAPTAIN’S COLUMN BY ME7 TEH CHONG ANN

Hi SCC friends, March has

been an incredibly hot month

but I guess nobody’s

complaining since there are

lesser abandoned games due

to bad weather! We are glad

that everyone has enjoyed

themselves but with the heatwave expected to

continue, please remember to take some

precautions against the sun. Do make use of

the halfway houses and water coolers dotted

across the golf course to refresh and refuel.

Apply sun block liberally to protect yourself

against the UV rays as well. Judging from

Retro’s darker skin tone and extra wrinkles

recently, I can safely conclude that sun

damage is a real thing.

The heat has also brought several issues to

our attention. Firstly, we have seen an increase

in the amount of litter on the golf course. While

hydration is important, please help to keep

those aluminum cans and plastic wrappers in

the buggy until a rubbish bin is found. These

reflective things left on the course have been

known to create a lot of agony for our golfers.

I’m sure that everyone had the experience of

hitting a bad shot and thinking that you’ve lost

the ball, only to see something glistening in the

distance. That excitement and anticipation, but

alas! It was only a piece of plastic wrapper

carelessly left by a previous golfer. Let’s not

create such disappointment for anyone!

Secondly, we have also noticed an increase in

the number of unrepaired divots on the

fairways. As the “Green” Committee, we take

the well-being of our grass patches very

seriously (we also take our vegetables

seriously). Research has shown that grass

takes longer to grow under hot weather, so the

least all of us can do is to repair those divots,

whether or not they were caused by you, and

help our grass grow stronger. The next person

caught not repairing their divots “will be made

to apologise to the grass patch”, personally

enforced by our vice-captain.

On a lighter note, we are glad to announce

that the biennial Sembawang Country Club

Open will be held this coming July. The

theme for this year is Shanghai Night (夜上海),

and I’m sure you know very well how to dress

for the night. One thing is for sure, the

organising committee will be getting

wonderful goodie bags, door gifts, lucky draw,

and novelty prizes for all participants. And

these are adding to good fun and time well

spent with your beloved golf kakis! The

highlight of course, will be the hole-in-one

prizes. One-upping the old adage of “one

dollar three tries”, you will get four chances at

Hole 6, 8, 15, and 18. We have classified the

prize as TOP SECRET for now but rest

assured that Retro has guaranteed your

satisfaction if you manage to complete the

feat (rumour has it that Retro has personally

committed his car as the backup hole-in-one

prize if the winner deems the original prize

unsatisfactory). With such a good deal, be on

the lookout when registration is open.

Don’t say bojio!

Jio already… you better come hor!

Chong Ann and Retro

LADIES’ CORNER BY LADY CAPTAIN ME5 EMILY LEE

Sembawang Ladies’ League Team 2019

T he 2019 SGA Inter-Club League (ICL) is a round-robin match play event without handicap

allowances that is open to all Local Golf Clubs (Members of SGA). Each Club is to field a

Team comprising 30 players (15 pairs) with 4 players in the “Premier” Division, 6 players

each in the “A”, “B”, “Senior” Divisions and 8 players in the “Ladies” Division. To win each leg,

each club needs at least 8 Pairs to win. This year, SGA took a bold step to do something different

for the Ladies Division where the 4 pairs of ladies will be competing with No Handicap Index

Restrictions, “aka LPGA” standard with 2 caveats laid down: (1) Maximum of 3 players age 21

and under is allowed per leg and (2) Minimum of 2 players age 50 and above (as of 1st January

2019) can be fielded per leg. You can imagine the level of “stress” (or rather gruesome or

excitement) the ladies league will face this season, which will stretch from April to August 2019.

The Ladies’ League Team is led by the Ladies’ Captain, Ms Emily Lee.

(Club Champion 2018)

LADIES’ CORNER BY LADY CAPTAIN ME5 EMILY LEE

I welcome our 4 new civilian members who joined Sembawang Country Club last year:

Ms Jessie Oh, Ms Gigi Lim, Ms Shannon Ng and Ms Angelica Au. All are not new to golf and

had been well known for their superb golf skills. Those who are lucky to have “challenges” with

them would have witnessed their prowess in the golf course “battle”.

The Ladies Division had performed well in the last ICL

season, with an average win per game of 2.07 pairs of 4

matches. We will continue to strive and do better for

every year to come. Many of us took part in the league

because we enjoyed the thrill of competition. We took

pride in the challenge to pit our skills against others to

see how far each of us can stretch. The challenge and

testing of oneself during a competition will release the

beasts in us, which will not be discovered in a social

setting. It is also about representing Sembawang

Country Club, to be good ambassadors forging closer

ties with the sister clubs and bring the camaraderie in friendship to a higher level. And that is

the true spirit of the ICL competition.

I would like to salute all the league players, past and

present, who had taken the courage to come forward

and sacrifice their precious time away from their family/

loved ones to participate in this “gruesome and

demanding” competition. Every year the competition

has its own unique examination and every level its own

different challenges. Every battle fought at every level

deserves appreciation no matter if one wins or loses.

LADIES’ CORNER BY LADY CAPTAIN ME5 EMILY LEE

The Ladies had been used as a “sacrificial lamb” to trial the new format for this season, for the

Men to adopt next year if proven successful. This new format will be very interesting and rather

challenging to strategize as each pair can anticipate to meet the Juniors, Evergreens, High/low

HI or any mix of the groups of players. The thrill and suspense will only be unravelled an hour

before the game. One thing for sure, our ladies team will train hard and play their best for SCC.

Let’s hear from some of them on their aspirations:

Lim Chin Yen – League is a platform to boost our golf to another level and with

this new format, I hope to have more ladies’ pairs to compete in future.

Tey Siew Choo – I am excited to join our ladies’ team with so many good

players. Looking forward to contribute whatever I can and learn from the

rest. Hopeful for us to achieve a better standing from previous years.

Ho Sim Sim – Previous stratification of handicap in Ladies’ division allowed

the Ladies’ of the same standard to compete together in the same division.

However, the merging of all ladies into one division this year makes the

format more challenging. A lot of luck is needed as you will never know

what is the standard of your opponent until the competition day.

Linda Kang – I feel honoured and privileged to be in the SCC

league team this year. Although the format is not favourable to

some ladies, I will take it in the right stride and train harder to play

my best for SCC.

Shannon Ng - I find the format interesting this year for the Ladies and

we should see some great “fights” along the way.

FA CAI GOLF 2019 By Gai Ismail

A festive-themed golf game, Fa Cai Golf

was held on 16 February 2019. The

event received overwhelming response

with fully-booked flights! In the spirit of

celebrating Chinese New Year, each participant

was given a pair of oranges before the game

and a beautiful goody bag as a token for their

participation. Participants had fun taking photos

on the golf course in the spirit of festivity. The

weather was simply lovely that day.

Participants were greeted by a lion dance

performance at the clubhouse after the game.

They had a chance to mingle and take photos

with the troupe. Everyone was then treated to a

sumptuous dinner, performance by the “Monkey

God” and entertainment from the Melody Band.

Joyous shouts of “Huat Ah!” echoed across the

banquet hall as all tossed the yusheng high.

After dinner came the prize presentation for the

winners and a speech from Club Chairman,

BG Dinesh Vasu Dash, who wished all a Happy

and Prosperous New Year. The night ended

with lot of good food and laughter, along with

No-Chunk Chipping: Stand Closer to Simplify Your Swing

By Butch Harmon | Golf Digest

Photos by Don Furore

GOLF TIPS

the swing will be shorter, so less can go

wrong.

Try this routine: First, step in with your back

foot, directly across from the ball and about

10 inches from it. Then, aim the clubface at

your target. Finally, step in with your front

foot - that'll help settle your weight forward,

where it needs to be throughout the swing.

C hipping isn't complicated, but a lot

of golfers make it so. One issue I

see is that they stand too far from

the ball, like they're hitting an iron

shot (above). From there, the club swings

around the body on a circular arc - good for

the full swing but bad for chipping. That bigger

motion makes you slow the club down before

impact for fear of hitting the ball too far. You

wind up chunking it.

To simplify things, get closer to the ball with

the shaft more vertical. Feel like the clubhead

is up on its toe (next page). This sets up a

straighter swing path, with the clubface

always looking down the line you want to hit

the ball, not rotating open and closed. Plus,

15

HOW TO ADD FEEL

I use my putting grip when chipping because it gives me better feel - and little chips are

serious feel shots. It also gets me in a putting mind-set, feeling more "over the ball" and zoned

in on a target. All you're trying to do is get the ball over the grass in front of you and let it run

out. Why land it on the green instead of the fringe? The bounce is more predictable.

WHAT’S UP @ RECIPROCAL CLUBS

N ational Service Resort & Country Club

(NSRCC) will soon be introducing a

spectacular sight at its Changi location.

A brand new permanent Driving Range, along

with its myriad of facilities will be unveiled in the

third quarter of 2019.

Back in 2014, NSRCC Changi returned part of

its land to the State, downsizing itself from a 27-

hole to 18-hole golf course in which its former

Air Force 9-Hole Course and Executive Par-3

course had to close and cease operations. This

was to facilitate National Development on the

construction of the new Terminal 5 airport and

future expansion of Changi Coastal Road. The

remaining land at NSRCC saw a reconfiguration

of one of the 9-hole courses and the demolition

of the previous driving range to accommodate

the reconfiguration of the golf course.

During the interim, while continuing to allow its

members to have their privilege in having a

Driving Range, NSRCC had to work a way out

and best utilise the remaining land. Unlike other

conventional driving ranges, NSRCC’s new

driving range will be built atop of existing

facilities, and boasting of an impressive height

with panoramic views of the nearby sea at

Changi beach; assuredly the first in Singapore.

This mega project is not without its challenges.

The concept took many revisions before it

finally arrived at the final design. Issues

comprised technical feasibility, ball collection

system, user experience as well as the façade

of building had to be carefully planned and

executed throughout the various project

phases. Since the first quarter of 2018,

construction has been underway for this project,

and phased out over the span of 18-months to

ensure a smooth path to completion.

NSRCC’s new 5-storey Driving Range will

consist of three levels of tee-off bays located at

levels 2, 3 & 4 and comprising a total of 40

bays. The unique driving range will be elevated

five stories above ground, and with a range

distance of 200m long, golfers would be able to

practice their swing amidst the splendid view of

the club’s lush green courses as well.

Facilities such as a Pro-Shop, Club Fitting

Services, Golf Academy and a Rooftop F&B

New Driving Range @ NSRCC

17

Bistro Bar with stunning views of both the beach and lush green golf courses, will be added to

complement the driving range. Apart from NSRCC members, this new driving range will also

open its doors to the public, offering irresistible deals for them to practice their swing.

NSRCC is a golf and country club set up to

recognise the contributions of operationally

ready NSmen to Total Defence. NSmen

from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Police as

well as Civil Defence are welcomed to join

NSRCC. The new driving range is definitely

paving its way to become the pride of its

members, and the outcome sought is for

the club to be able to provide members with

an exhilarating and positive experience.

This would be in line with its vision and

mission in continuing to provide affordable

and premium services to the members and

NSmen, which is the heart of the matter.

WHAT’S UP @ RECIPROCAL CLUBS NEW DRIVING RANGE @ NSRCC

From a distance, anyone driving to the club will be able to see

the high masts in place to hold the netting.

T his year’s Members Night, with the

theme “Around the World”, was fully

subscribed with 148 participants in

attendance. Members and their spouses had

much fun at the Photobooth and other booths

available promoting various goodies and

services, while enjoying laksa and drinks during

the pre-cocktail session. The evening started off

with welcoming all participants to the event.

New members were caught by surprise during

the introduction as they were invited on stage

for a Bollywood dance. Everyone was treated to

a delectable international buffet spread featuring

Thai, Japanese, Indian, Western and local

cuisine. Our emcee for the night, Kristopher Fu

livened up the atmosphere and delighted the

crowd with his quick-witted humour. A Samba

& Batucada Performance, belly dance and a

thrilling snake charmer show were the

highlights of the night. The highly anticipated

lucky draw segment added to the fun, with

overjoyed members walking away with prizes

such as: sport sunglasses, luggages,

Japanese whisky and more. It was indeed a

memorable experience for everyone. The

Club wishes to thank all sponsors and

participating vendors including Annabella
