FOREWORD 

Grand Start to a New Year 

2008 ended on a positive note for Jurong Country Club. Not only did we enjoy 

an overwhelming turnout for our New Year’s eve party on 31 December. More 

encouragingly, we closed the year with satisfactory results, despite a couple of 

months’ poor showing when the course was played on alternate greens. 

Secondly, our first event for the year was also our first-ever “Art for Charity 

Exhibition” which concluded successfully. Featuring local artist Ms Christina 

Chen, we had an amazing turnout that included the illustrious Dr Ho Kah 

Leong and Mr Tan Khim Ser. We thank Christina for generously contributing 

two beautiful paintings of the golf course to the Club. These paintings now line 

our lobby walls for members’ appreciation. What’s more, since the start of the 

new year, our greens have been recovering well. They are now in better shape 

to cope with the returning golf traffic. Golfers have noticed the improvement 

through the healthier colour, better ball speed and smoother putting surface. 

We are not resting on our laurels and we assure members that our course 

maintenance team is constantly looking for better ways to manage our greens. 

A new treatment plan against the dreaded nematodes is in place and we look 

forward to better results with a new organic and PUB-approved chemical. To 

ensure evenness between playability and sustainability, we hope members 

understand that we are unable to lower the mowing height drastically. However, 

we are mindful of your playing needs and will strive to meet the right balance. 

Return of the Weekly Range Nites 

For those who miss the fun and excitement of our Weekly Range Nites, look out 

for the return! Join us every Wednesday at the Driving Range from 7pm to 10pm. 

This time, we have planned a double-win programme that assures you instant 

wins while you chalk up chances at a grand lucky draw. The Pro Shop is also 

planning a one-day mega sale, so look out for more details on page 34. 

For the Waist and Wallet 

No, we are not talking about a crash diet. We are talking about five new caloriechewing 

machines in our Gym to help you trim the new year goodies off your 

waist, while fattening your wallet with more savings at our F&B outlets… by the 

hundreds! We know it is a difficult time out there, so we are making it easier for 

you in here. Why dine elsewhere when dining and wining at the Club now earn 

you more savings? Turn to our Wine and Dine section for the host of savings we 

have in store for you. 

Oh! For the Love of Wine! 

Don’t let the recession pull your spirits down! Look out for a host of special wine 

events planned by the Lifestyle team, with the major highlight being a 7-day trip 

to Perth to indulge in two of man’s best vices – wine and golf! This will be one 

unique event that I would not want you to miss. We will not only be visiting the 

best golf courses in Australia, but also the vineyards down under. Details will be 

out soon, but do register early with our S&R team if you are interested, as seats 

are limited. 

We have all these and more in store for you… so what are you waiting for? 

See you at the Club!

FOREWORD 

Dear Friends, 

I was appointed as Lady Captain since April 2006. In my third year now, I am 

still facing the challenge of getting the lady members to participate in monthly 

medals and club events, due mainly to the high cost of the tournaments. The 

Ladies Committee had tried points system with rewards and lucky draws to 

attract the members and we have seen some results. I deeply appreciate the 

Ladies Committee’s efforts to engage existing members and reach out to new 

members to participate in club events. Also, special thanks to the lady members 

who have taken their valuable time to participate in club events. 

There will be an Annual Evergreen Event on the 4th of April. This will be an 

individual competition, followed by dinner and game, with attractive prizes. 

The venue is at Green Banyan and I hope all ladies will join in. 

SLGA league will start in March 09. We have commenced our in-house 

training programme that is conducted by Heartland Golf School in February. 

My sincere appreciation to the Pros in Heartland Golf School for their efforts, 

and I value the dedication and hard work of my league players. The ladies 

had done quite well in ’08 SLGA league. We came in 4th and 2nd in A & B 

Divisions respectively. I hope we will surpass our last year’s record and keep 

our JCC flag flying high. 

We will hold our Jurong Charity Open in August instead of June this year due to 

poor response because of the June school holidays. The new timing should also 

help if there is a change of golf committee. The new committee will have more 

time to organize this major event when the past committee hand over on March 

31st . 

We have just completed the renovation of the Ladies’ Changing Room. It is 

now brighter and more spacious for the ladies to mingle and freshen-up before 

and after their game. Hope all ladies will enjoy the new facilities. 

Happy Golfing.

Email us at publications@jcc.org.sg. Each letter wins our hearts for making our day! 

“I had a wonderful round of golf yesterday with your Joseph 

Lim. I left my wallet at the Golfers’ Terrace after the game. 

When I went back to the service counter to ask if someone had 

kept it for me, the waitress, Cherrie, returned me the wallet. 

Having good honest staff is certainly good for the reputation 

of your Club. Hoping this mail will help the management in 

your staff’s evaluation exercise. I thank you.”

Love It/ Hate It Contest 

We thank members for their enthusiastic responses on the change of our JCC News to The Blue Heron. 

Keep the letters coming – we want to hear more of what you want to see in our new magazine! 

“The Blue Heron is a refreshing change and what 

better time than to have the print at the start of 

the New Year. The front cover of the magazine 

has an element of softness and serenity. I love 

the Wine and Dine section. The colours and 

pictures are vividly captivating. Pure brilliance! 

~ Kwek Loo Hwee 

“Very presentable and full of photographs. 

Easy to read and interesting articles. There 

is a good balance of social and golfing 

information. The Blue Heron brilliantly 

updates members on what’s happening at 

the Club.” 

“The Blue Heron is more than an 

improvement – it’s first issue is stunningly 

beautiful. The articles are both informative 

and attractive. The generous use of 

photographs and good quality of paper used 

reflect the excellent standard of service JCC 

provides for all her members. Keep up with 

the great work!”

Roll Call 

We welcome the following new staff to the JCC family. We are certain the 

addition will enhance our services to members as we strive to be the premier 

golf club in the region! 

Jackson Chang, Facilities Manager 

Jackson joined the Club as Facilities Manager on 

12 January this year. Jackson is a certified facility 

Manager and a professional member of International 

Facility Management Association of USA. He comes 

with 20 years in building, facilities and project 

management. Jackson will be overlooking the Club’s 

Building, Facilities and operational Management, 

including Health/ Safety/ Environment and Quality 

Management. His experience will definitely 

contribute to the growth of the Club. Welcome! 

First Town Hall Meeting 

To encourage two-way communication between the Management and staff, 

we held our first-ever Town Hall Meeting in January 2009. Staggered over four 

sessions in order to accommodate the various working needs of the staff, the 

sessions proved fruitful and allowed better interaction as GM Peter Goh shared 

on the Club’s performance for last year and indicated the challenges facing us 

in this 2009. 

At the end of the insightful session, staff were given mandarin oranges to share 

in the blessings of the Lunar New Year season. 

Strong and Silent 

A strong and resilient staff, Zaini Bin 

Selamat goes about achieving his 

tasks quietly, but the quality of his 

work is never in question. As an S&R 

Supervisor, Zaini is known as the 

one totally immersed in his work and 

responsibilities, which include sports 

activities and social events. 

His quiet contributions to the Club’s 

service quality and pleasantness 

was evident even to outsiders 

who decide to hold their events in 

the Club. During both the Tennis 

Masters and Asean School Tennis 

Championship last year, Zaini worked 

long hours to ensure the event was 

executed smoothly. His commitment 

contributed significantly to the 

success of the event and even drew 

the attention of the organisers of the 

ASEAN School Tennis Championship, 

who singled him out for special 

praise. 

Such quality work certainly did not 

go unnoticed and we are proud to 

announce that Zaini Bin Selamat has 

been awarded the Best Employee 

Award for the Quarter Oct to Dec 

2008. The strong and silent Zaini 

extends his appreciation to Jurong 

Country Club for honouring him with 

this award.

HERON’S NEST 

Go Au Naturale When In Jurong 

Besides being a paradise for both day and night golfing, the emerald greens in 

our course hide various natural cures for common daily ailments. We bring you 

some interesting facts on the abundance of fruit trees available in our course 

and their medicinal benefits. 

All-Round Body Tonic 

Common Name : Lemon Grass 

Scientific Name : Cymbopogon Citratus 

Spot Me @ : Second Halfway House Waste Bunker 

I Am Good For : Invigorating your body! 

Interesting Facts: 

Known for its calming effect that relieves insomnia or stress, Lemon Grass is 

also considered as a mild insect repellant. But more than scent, it provides a 

lot of health benefits. Studies have shown that the lemon grass has antibacterial 

and antifungal properties. 

1. Mixed with pepper, it’s a home therapy for menstrual troubles and nausea. 

2. Drank as tea, it is an effective diuretic. 

3. It is a good cleanser that helps to detoxify the liver, pancreas, kidney, 

bladder and the digestive tract. 

4. It cuts down uric acid, cholesterol, excess fats and other toxins in the body 

while stimulating digestion, blood circulation, and lactation. 

5. It also alleviates indigestion and gastroenteritis. 

6. It is said that lemongrass also helps improve the skin by reducing acne and 

pimples and acts as a muscle and tissue toner. 

Caution! 

It should only be used as a symptomatic treatment. It takes the pain out of the 

joint but does not cure the underlying condition. 

For Strong Healthy Teeth 

Common Name : Indian Mango 

Scientific Name : Mangifera Indica 

Spot Me @ : Hole #1, at 200m on right side of fairway 

I Am Good For : Keeping you YOUNG! 


1. Gum from the trunks is eaten in India, and used for mending pottery. 

2. The twigs and leaves, used to clean the teeth, are said to be beneficial to the 

gums, while the bark is said to be useful for toothaches. 

3. The astringent stomachic bark is also used for internal hemorrhages, 

bronchitis, and catarrh. 

4. The resin is used for cracked feet, ringworm, and other fungi, syphilis, and to 

induce sweating. 

Caution! 

The young flowers and newly unfolded leaves from the tree are said to be 

edible but could be dangerous to sensitive people, as the sap may cause a rash 

like poison oak.

HERON’S NEST 

Boost Your Immunity 

Common Name : Mangosteen 

Scientific Name : Garcinia Mangostana 

Spot Me @ : Beside car path heading towards1st Halfway house 

I Am Good For : Commonly known as “The Queen of Fruits” in parts of 

Southeast Asia, notably Singapore and Malaysia, the 

Mangosteen is believed to have “cooling” properties that 

counteract the “heatiness” of durians, the so-called “King of 

Fruits”. The fact that the fruiting seasons of these 2 fruits 

coincide makes these titles particularly apt. 


The sliced and dried pericarp (rind) of the Mangosteen when powdered can be: 

1. Made into an ointment and applied on eczema and other skin disorders. 

2. Used to ward off and treat infections, reduce pain or control fever and treat 

various other ailments. 

3. Made into a decoction to relieve diarrhea and cystitis, gonorrhea and gleet 

and applied externally as an astringent lotion 

In addition to its antibacterial properties, Mangosteen fruit also 

demonstrates strong antifungal properties. It is highly effective in boosting 

weak immune systems. 

Caution! 

Take Mangosteen with caution if you are diabetic, as being a fruit, it 

does contain sugars and is thought to possibly inhibit the body’s natural 

histamine blocking abilities.

Market Price of Club Membership 

The membership price for our Local Transferable Golf Membership continues 

to take a dive, a trend similar across many clubs. With a worsening financial 

crisis, the price of Local Transferable Golfing Membership closed at $42,000 

in February this year, as depicted by the blue line. Transferable Social 

memberships reflected a similar drop, with the last transacted price standing 

at $3,500 in February. The market price of the Local Transferable Golfing 

membership with Unsecured Notes (green line) maintained at $80,000 as per 

the last transaction in June 2008. 

Meeting the Family 

New members joining the JCC family 

had a chance to meet and interact with 

our General Committee members on 

Tuesday 13 January during the Meetthe-Committee 

Members Night. More 

than 35 members and their spouses 

turned up for the quarterly event, 

which also saw our birthday celebrants 

joining in the event. 

GM Peter Goh welcomed everyone warmly with an overview of the 

upcoming events happening at the Club. Club President Dr Tan Cheng Bock 

thanked everyone for coming to this meaningful event and spoke on future 

plans for the development of the Club to dovetail with the transformation of the 

Jurong Lake District. 

Before inviting 

everyone to sample 

the lavish fare of the 

Green Banyan, Dr 

Tan expressed hope 

that members will 

continue to support 

the Club in its F&B 

operations as well as 

social and sporting 

activities.

System 

To keep up with the increased water 

demand to keep our golf course 

healthy, the Club recently replaced 

our old 16-year old irrigation system 

with a new and more resilient system. 

The new system comes equipped with 

a Variable Speed Drive system, which

Kota Permai Golf & 

Country Club 

NEW! 

In Malay, “permai” means serene and beauty. Aptly enough, Kota 

Permai Golf & Country Club has captivated the golfing fraternity 

with its charm since its opening in early 1998. 

Boasting a stunning 18-hole championship course designed by 

the ace Australian architect, Ross Watson, Kota Permai is indeed 

a serene and beautiful place, despite its location in the middle 

of one of the Klang Valley’s model property developments - the 

award-winning Kota Kemuning township. Kota Permai Golf & 

Country Club serves as a lush, green centre-piece for the township and, indeed, 

the club was designed to be very much a part of local community life. 

Watson’s intelligent design is challenging yet fair, with playing options for all 

levels of golfers. The design and construction also reflect a desire to be ‘one’ 

with nature, and this is reflected in the wildlife that inhabit the waterways and 

mature trees. Today, Kota Permai continues to raise the bar for the Malaysian golf 

course industry as it forges ahead with unwavering commitment in its quest to 

become an icon of Asian golf. 

Visit www.kotapermai.com.my for more information on the club and its facilities.

Chua Yeow Hua Takes Home 

Another Gold 

Thirty-eight monthly medal best nett and gross winners in 2008 vied for this 

annual champion medal which was held on Saturday, 3 January. It turned out 

to be another closely contested event with a good number of players with the 

chance to grab gold. 

And the one who eventually did was Chua Yeow Hua (18) who repeated his 

feat of 1992. This time, he won by two strokes from Lim Swee Teck (18) who 

had to settle for the runner-up nett prize. Teenager Leon See (3) took the best 

gross prize for the second consecutive year with his gross 77. 

The players had to play off their lowest course handicap for 2008. 

Lily Poh Snatches

Lily Poh (21) took on the challenge 

of 16 other lady medal winners and 

came out on top with just a single 

stroke to spare at the recent Ladies’ 

Gold Medal held on Saturday, 3 

January. Her nett 75 was good enough 

to see her win her first gold medal.

won the gold medal in 1994, into

The partnership of Naranjan Singh (9) and Colin Foo (14) proved to be a

They returned a nett 63, which was good enough to edge out James Toh (17) 

and Patrick Lam (21) into second place. Ong Soo Kiat (12) and Peter Kwa (14) 

took third place two strokes further adrift on nett 66.

Christmas Special – Lyrics It Right! 

We had another wonderful turnout for our Christmas Special last year, which 

was held on Sunday 21 December. Apart from the sumptuous dinner, the 

participants were treated to a number of entertaining games and lots of lucky 

draw prizes. 

The highlight of the evening was without doubt the “Lyrics It Right” segment, ala 

“Don’t Forget The Lyrics” game show in which prizes were aplenty and waiting 

to be claimed by participants who actually did remember the lyrics. 

Earlier on in the afternoon, sixty-four participants were battling on the golf 

course for the honour of being the winners of the Golf Competition. Played on a 

double Peoria stableford points format, the event was won by Tan Sun Han who 

secured 36 points, just a point more than four others. 

The four who finished on 35 points were Ross Tan, Peter Teo, Chai Choon Peow

Return of the Emerald Greens 

Members would remember how, in the second quarter of 

last year, our golf course was struck by a severe infestation of 

nematodes on several greens that almost killed the course. 

Playability dropped to sorely low levels, as did the golfing 

traffic. 

Through an intensive treatment programme, we are glad 

to announce that our emerald greens have returned to 

their healthy levels since August last year. With consistent 

nurturing, the green speed has progressively increased from 

6ft last year to 7ft now. Regular fans that refrained from 

playing while the greens were recovering are now happy to 

return with friends for enjoyable rounds on the course. 

Using the stimpmeter and measuring the speed of the greens. 

While the situation has improved now, we must stay 

mindful of the fact that the golf course is a breathing 

living system affected by various factors such as 

weather, golf traffic, disease, age, the macro and micro 

environment. Continuous TLC (tender loving care) is 

showered upon the course every day by our Course 

Maintenance team, who are also under constant strain 

to ensure the course keeps up its healthy green. 

3 one 

way 

& 

3 the 

other 

On keeping the greens at its optimum playing level, Golf 

Course Manager Cheong Ming assures members that 

“we will continually strive to ensure the green speed 

is maintained at the best playing levels. However, the 

course is very much subject to various macro and micro 

factors, which invariably affect the green speed. We 

certainly hope to improve the green speed to a higher 

level, and hope that members will cooperate with us 

in the care of the green and observing the club’s rules, 

as these are put in place to help us maintain a most 

conducive environment, both for the golfer, and the green”. 

An average of 6 readings are taken per green 

HOW NEMATODES AFFECTED OUR GREENS 

Turfgrass roots suffering from nematode damage have impaired ability to take up water and 

nutrients from soil, thereby requiring more frequent irrigation and fertilizer applications. This may 

lead to waste of precious fresh water resources, increase the risk of groundwater contamination 

with nitrates and necessitate increased fungicide use by creating conditions ideal to outbreaks 

of fungal diseases. Nematode affected turf is also less competitive with weeds and may require 

increased herbicide use. Of even greater direct concern to turfgrass managers, the turf may 

become chlorotic, wilt, thin out, and die.

Hole-In-One (Jan 2009) 

After more than 14 years of golfing, Linda Mok captured her perfect shot on 

Sunday 4 Jan to record the first ace in JCC for 2009. 

Linda was playing a social round with members Sandra Yang, Ivy Yuen and Kim 

Keow Woo when she scored her first ever hole-in-one on the 3rd hole with a 6 

iron. 

Linda was playing off a handicap index of 14.4. 

Congratulations, Linda and may there be a few more along the way.

PRO TALK 

Care For The Course – It’s Not Just 

The Superintendent’s Job! 

We all know that it is the job of the Golf Course Superintendent to care for 

our beautiful golf course, and that he does a great job. However, as 

members of the club, it is very much your responsibility to do your 

part in looking after the club as well. 

The area of the golf course that always comes under the most 

scrutiny is on the greens. We all know that maintaining the 

greens is a delicate process that has challenges such as weather 

constraints, viruses, parasites and heavy usage. With all of these 

hurdles it is imperative that we as golfers do not further contribute te 

to any maintenance issues. 

One of the golfer-related problems that occasionally surfaces is damage to 

the edge of the hole. This usually occurs due to 3 errors: 

1. Players stepping on the hole 

2. Players stabbing the hole with the flag when replacing it 

3. Players scraping the hole while digging the ball out with a club 

Most of these issues arise out of carelessness on behalf of the golfer. The only 

way to prevent this damage is to consciously ensure not to cause damage. 

Some golfers try to excuse themselves from digging the ball out of the hole 

with their club, claiming they have a bad back and cannot bend over to pick it 

out with their hand. For those that may have a back condition, there are a few 

ways to avoid using your club and damaging the hole: 

1. Putt out and have a playing partner retrieve your ball when they get 

theirs out 

2. Have your GA retrieve the ball for you (remember a little extra when tipping 

them at the end of the day!) 

3. Purchase a rubber ball grabber that attaches to the grip of your putter 

(available in your JCC Pro-Shop) 

If we all do our part the golf course will be more presentable to all players 

and every member and guest will have a more enjoyable day on the course.

Year 2008 ended with a big bang for JCC members as we partied the night 

away in the most Stylo Mylo Countdown ever! 

An overwhelming 250 members and families joined Moe Alkaff for a most 

unforgettable night at the Fu Lin Men, which was 

decorated beautifully just for the event. Members 

were not any lesser dressed – up to their nines and 

some in their most stylo combinations ever! 

The countdown moment was a heartfelt event, as one and all sang in chorus 

to usher in the New Year with great hopes for a brighter 

year. We hope all members had a good time 

and we wish one and all bright days 

ahead!

Art for Charity 

The week of 9 to 13 January saw our lobby transformed into an 

art gallery for the inaugural Charity Art Exhibition featuring Ms 

Christina Chen. 

During the opening ceremony that was held on 9 January at the 

lobby of the Fu Lin Men, we were honoured with the presence of 

not only Dr Tan Cheng Bock, but also the illustrious Mr Tan Khim 

Ser and former MP Dr Ho Kah Leong as Guests of Honour. During 

the opening address, each Guest of Honour complimented Christina 

for her dedication, hard work and outstanding talent while GM Mr 

Peter Goh thanked Christina for her kind contribution of 

two paintings of the golf course to the Club. The paintings 

of our golf course now stand majestically at the entrance 

to the Admin Office for all to admire. 

We would like to thank all members and friends who 

supported our first effort at combining art with charity, 

and most importantly to Christina for her invaluable 

contributions and warm heart.

Year End Swim Camp 

This Swim Camp held at the Club from 17 to 20 

December last year saw over 40 students join us for four 

days of total utter fun! 

Starting off with in-house games organised within the 

Club’s premises, campers had the opportunity to experience ence 

team-building games with each other to strengthen their trust in 

the team and boost their self-confidence. Aside from intensive 

swimming training and incredible water games to build up 

their stamina, they were also treated to new experiences such 

as inline skating and fencing. Campers even took their own 

initiative to band together in movie marathons and other 

sporting games during their free and easy times. 

The third day saw the troopers visiting a Goat and Vegetable 

Farm. Over at Qian Hu Fish Farm, our little troopers took the opportunity 

to indulge in some longkang fishing (drain fishing), something youngsters of today 

have probably never experienced. They were also given some interactive learning 

on oil production during our visit to the Sunbeam Oil Factory Learning Lab. 

Even after a tiring day, our little troopers still had enough energy to splash it out 

with Changi Beach Club swimmers for a “Clash of the Titans” duel back at the 

Club, before ending their last night together with an enjoyable BBQ dinner. 

The last day saw over 60 participants join our campers in the closing event for 

the Swim Camp, which was the JCC Christmas Charity Mass Swim. We thank all 

parents, families and participants for helping us raise $744.45 at this event, which 

will be channelled to our JCC Charity Fund. 

Our campers sure had a great time and learnt that swimming is not just an 

individual sport, but that it is a team effort where everyone plays an important part.
