FOREWORD<br />
We are looking ahead to exciting times!<br />
In February, we received your overwhelming mandate to proceed with the golf<br />
course upgrading project. Then in March, new blood was injected into the<br />
General Committee. In April, we sealed the deal with our golf course contractor<br />
for the course upgrade. And this <strong>May</strong> we are all gearing for Phase 1 of the<br />
upgrading project. In nine months’ time, we will see the birth of a new 9-hole<br />
at the <strong>Jurong</strong> course.<br />
In the midst of these, the government announced the kick-off for the makeover<br />
of sleepy <strong>Jurong</strong> into the up-and-coming <strong>Jurong</strong> Lake District, slated as the<br />
biggest commercial hub outside the city centre and a world-class leisure<br />
destination for locals and tourists. Road widening works have started, MRT<br />
lines are being extended and development tenders are already being called.<br />
Change is coming fast and it will come like a tidal wave. We need to gear the<br />
club up for a new era and new challenges.<br />
These coming two years will be a crucial period for the <strong>Club</strong>. The injection of<br />
new blood into the General Committee, tempered with the experience and<br />
wisdom of veterans such as Dr Tan Cheng Bock, Bobby Wee, Simon Tan and<br />
Cheong Tuck Meng will certainly help as we forge new paths for the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
What we need is to construct a road map, a long-term developmental plan that<br />
will thrust <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong> as one of the top premier clubs in Singapore.<br />
There is so much for us to do – upgrading the course is only the tip of the<br />
iceberg. Next in line will be our clubhouse, facilities, services; value-adding<br />
our membership, expanding our amenities, fine-tuning ourselves to be more<br />
relevant to the new market… the list just goes on.<br />
Immediately however, our focus is to upgrade our service quality and inject<br />
more life into our social and F&B. We want to bring in more members and<br />
friends to the <strong>Club</strong>. We want a vibrant club scene. And we want you to help us<br />
in this journey. Do visit the club and tell us how you want us to improve it, so<br />
that you want to enjoy it everyday. Tell your friends what’s good about the club<br />
so they too will want to be part of the <strong>Jurong</strong> family. Tell us what’s bad so we<br />
can square in and better it. Yes, there will be frustrations, some members may<br />
say nothing moves in this club, but at times we have to step back, take a macro<br />
view of things and see the bigger picture.<br />
I was glad that I went for a world-class gathering of club managers from all<br />
over the world recently. The 83rd CMAA Conference in San Diego gave me<br />
an opportunity to do just that – take a break from the endless firefighting, see<br />
what and how other clubs around the world are doing, and take back what is<br />
successful for our own little global village. While one manager shared about his<br />
Heroes and Stars programme to reward staff performance, I was glad that we<br />
have our own Star Service Award to appreciate staff who go out of their way to<br />
make someone’s day. We will also be planning new activities and new unique<br />
propositions for the <strong>Club</strong>. We will share these with members at more dialogue<br />
sessions and I hope that when the time comes, members will extend their help<br />
and expertise to support our projects. This is, after all, your club and only you<br />
can make it better!<br />
See you in the <strong>Club</strong>!<br />

FOREWORD<br />
Firstly, my thanks go to my fellow members for returning me unopposed as<br />
Captain for another two years. I appreciate your vote of confidence and assure<br />
you I will continue to give my best for the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
As you probably know by now, we received a 90% mandate at the recent EGM<br />
held in February to carry out the golf course upgrading project. Since then, work<br />
has swung in full force not only to award the contract but more importantly,<br />
synchronize massive amounts of coordination and preparation work to close the<br />
course and ensure the least disruption to members.<br />
I am most happy to report that we have awarded the golf course upgrading<br />
contract to TEHC International Pte Ltd (TEHC). With almost 40 years of<br />
experience in landscaping and golf course construction, TEHC is a specialist<br />
in the field and have won major contracts from the National Parks Board,<br />
Gardens by the Bay, Integrated Resorts at Sentosa, Tanah Merah <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>,<br />
Sentosa Golf <strong>Club</strong>, Marina Bay Golf Course and most recently, Seletar <strong>Country</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong>. TEHC has achieved all accreditations that are essential to the successful<br />
completion in managing and executing large-scale projects and is a member<br />
of the iGolf Corporate Advisory Council, which promotes environmental<br />
sustainability for golf courses. One of its most recent awards include coming in<br />
First Runner-Up at the “Renovation of the Year International Courses Category”<br />
last year for the re-modeling of the 27-hole golf course at National Service<br />
Resort & <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
We sealed the deal with TEHC at a Signing Ceremony signed by Dr Tan Cheng<br />
Bock and GC members on Thursday 15 April just as the clock auspiciously<br />
struck 6.38pm.<br />
Now that contracts are signed, we are all anticipating the works and magic to<br />
start. The project will be divided into two phases – Phase 1 for the first nine and<br />
practice putting green in front of the main clubhouse, and Phase 2 for the back<br />
nine. Phase 1 will commence on Tuesday 1 <strong>Jun</strong>e <strong>2010</strong>, which means the last day<br />
members can play our full current 18 holes is on Sunday 30 <strong>May</strong>.<br />
Since we will be operating on just 9 holes for the next two years, there will be<br />
adjustments. New timesheets, new scorecards and new slope rating index will<br />
all be available at the Golf Reception and on our online booking portals from<br />
Friday 21 <strong>May</strong>. Some events have to be cancelled and the annual <strong>Jurong</strong> Charity<br />
Open will resume only after the full course opens in 2011. Please refer to page 6<br />
and 7 for more information on what you should expect in this period.<br />
While we endeavour to minimise disruption to members, it is inevitable that<br />
there will be some noise and disruption along the way, such as the frequent<br />
movement of heavy vehicles at the main carpark and along the golf course.<br />
Some inconvenience may be experienced at congested areas such as the bag<br />
drop area, carpark and at some turns of the golf course. Through all these, we<br />
seek your kind understanding and urge that you display caution, restraint and<br />
cooperation both on and off the course.<br />
Should you have any concerns to highlight, feel free to approach us in the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
You can also drop a visit to our new Golf Manager Matthew Lui. Matthew is a<br />
veteran in this field and I am sure with his expertise, we are set to improve our<br />
golfing experience in <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Happy Golfing!<br />
Phase 1 will<br />
commence on<br />
Tuesday 1 <strong>Jun</strong>e <strong>2010</strong>,<br />
which means the<br />
last day members<br />
can play our full<br />

Special Feature<br />
WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE NEW HOLE 6?<br />
Our Hole 6 is a very attractive and challenging downhill<br />
Par 3 hole. The extension of the pond across the approach<br />
to the green makes a very difficult forced water carry for<br />
short-hitting men and most lady golfers. The existing green<br />
presents little challenge or opportunity for a variety of pin<br />
positions.<br />
Some features of the new Hole 6:<br />
The green will be relocated approximately 10m left<br />
and 6m back of its present location to increase safety<br />
from stray balls from the second green. This also<br />
allows an increase in length to 195m. The enlarged<br />
and integrated pond will be extended making<br />
for greatly increased challenge for right-hand pin<br />
positions and a fairer situation for the conservative<br />
short-hitting golfer.<br />
The rear two tees will be slightly re-aligned and<br />
the area to the right re-shaped to a series of<br />
hollows. The second (or white) tee is substantially<br />
enlarged.<br />
A new buggy path will connect directly to the parking<br />
bay beside the halfway house. Obsolete sections of the<br />
path near the shelter will be demolished.<br />
Bunkers will remain to guard the rear of the green.<br />
The lake will be edged by a new varying height<br />
rock-faced retaining wall that will create a beautiful<br />
frame for this spectacular green-site.<br />
Additional palm planting is proposed to the right near<br />
the bank of the extended lake, while certain areas will<br />
become a new natural jungle-like area to attract a<br />
variety of bird life.<br />
Drainage will be enhanced by new ridges and hollows<br />
and increased numbers of pits and pipes.<br />

Though a late starter in the golf fraternity,<br />
the 20-year industry veteran has made<br />
his mark, rising from the ranks of a Golf<br />
Manager to that of a General Manager in<br />
his most recent appointment.<br />
Prior to joining us, Matthew was<br />
credited for raising the market value of<br />
the apartments at PT Guthrie Jaya Indah<br />

half within a span of 6 years. During his tenure as a Director of Golf<br />
Operations in another golf and country club in Indonesia, he played a<br />
pivotal role in collecting US$200,000 of green fees and membership<br />
dues through various marketing and promotional efforts. Having a<br />
knack for raising funds, Matthew managed to garner approximately<br />
$1.25 million for various charitable organizations in Singapore during<br />
his 7-year stint at Raffles <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Assistant Manager (Operations)<br />
Joining us on 4 March, James Collar<br />
was appointed as the Assistant Manager<br />

a wealth of experience in F&B service<br />
delivery and staff training, including<br />
leadership and management of F&B<br />
service operations. James had previously<br />
assumed various management positions<br />
in renowned F&B outlets and was<br />

Best Employee Award<br />
A familiar face on the golf course, Sudirman<br />
is well liked amongst staff and members.<br />
He is very dedicated to his work and takes<br />
pride in what he does. Many a times when<br />
golfers lose items on the<br />
course, he would<br />
diligently drive<br />
around looking for<br />
the missing items.<br />
Sudirman had<br />
received very<br />
good comments<br />
from members and<br />
the Golf Committee<br />
on his performance. He has<br />
also assumed supervisory roles whenever<br />
the <strong>Club</strong> is in need of golf supervisors and<br />
never complains when given extra duties,<br />
lending a helping hand to Golfing Assistants<br />
(GAs) and Marshals whenever they have<br />
to produce reports and even acting as<br />
club photographer during major events.<br />
Congratulations on the well-deserved<br />
recognition!<br />

Congratulations to Gideon Seck Kang Lie who has won a<br />
tranquil getaway for 2 at The Sentosa Resort & Spa for his entry<br />
to the Best Mummy & Daddy contest. Here’s what Gideon had<br />
to say about his parents:<br />
My parents are the best in the world because they are<br />
truly unique. They are always there when I need help.<br />
Their words are beacons to uncertain journeys and<br />
their advices genuine solutions to insurmountable<br />
problems. They comfort, soothe and relieve in my<br />
moments of disappointments. They uplift and<br />
invigorate me. I love my parents for all their care.<br />

Green Light for<br />
Golf Course<br />
Upgrading<br />
We would like to take this opportunity to<br />
thank all members for their overwhelming<br />
support at the Extraordinary General<br />
Meeting on Friday 26 February. Thanks to<br />
your support and attendance, we obtained<br />
a 90% mandate to proceed with the Golf<br />
Course Upgrading Project.<br />
Stalwart members like Lim Hang Kiat, who<br />
was also the club’s first captain back in its early days, also took to the floor to<br />
compliment and encourage the GC in the project. His elaborate explanation<br />
on why the course needs to be upgraded certainly did not go wasted but was<br />
welcomed with applause from the floor. We thank Mr Lim for his unwavering<br />
support! And who will forget Simon Yuen’s<br />
amusing but apt speech of likening the<br />
course upgrade to that of scrapping your<br />
old car to get a new one! Just like Simon –<br />
we too look forward to a new challenging<br />
championsip course to play for the<br />
remaining years!<br />
Overall, members acknowledged the<br />
need for upgrade, though they shared<br />
concerns mainly on finance<br />
and risk management. The GC<br />
assured members that there will<br />
be stringent practices to ensure<br />
the club does not overrun on the<br />
$23m budget and that quality is<br />
met according to specifications<br />
indicated. The committee also<br />
highlighted<br />
plans for<br />
a new<br />
membership<br />
launch to<br />
partially fund<br />
the upgrading<br />
project and<br />
add critical<br />

CLUB SCENE<br />
New Phases<br />
Just one month after the EGM, more<br />
than 100 members once again turned<br />
up at the Ficus Ballroom. This time for<br />
the <strong>Club</strong>’s Annual General Meeting.<br />
Hot on the agenda was the election of<br />
members to the General Committee.<br />
Dr Tan started the meeting by first<br />
thanking members for their support at<br />
the EGM in approving the golf course<br />
upgrading project and announced that<br />
the Committee had just awarded the<br />
project to TEHC International Pte Ltd at<br />
a sum lower than the projected amount.<br />
After inviting members to view the architectural<br />
drawings of the club’s proposed development<br />
master plan, Dr Tan took the opportunity to thank<br />
the outgoing GC members for their hard work<br />
and dedication to the club in the past few years.<br />
Treasurer then took over to report on the <strong>Club</strong>’s<br />
financial performance. Time flew by as members<br />
promptly moved resolutions and other matters to<br />
quickly get to the balloting process.<br />
At the end of the night,<br />
congratulations are in<br />
order for the following<br />
elected and re-appointed<br />

On Saturday 27 February the <strong>Club</strong><br />
was decked to the nines in purple,<br />
gold and green as staff and members<br />
alike geared up for the <strong>Club</strong>’s first<br />
ever Mardi Gras celebration. The <strong>Club</strong><br />
pulled out all the stops for this special<br />

Bonafides, free face painting for all,<br />
processions at the carpark and even<br />
dance performances at the car porch<br />
to liven up the party.<br />
We take this opportunity to thank<br />
our sponsors – Bonafides, Esmirada<br />

generous support. And we look<br />
forward to more members joining us<br />
next year for this international and<br />

Dangdut Nite<br />
The Golfers’ Terrace was transformed<br />
into a hub for great and<br />
authentic Indonesian nesian food and<br />
entertainment on Saturday 20<br />
March. Close to 100 members<br />
turned up with<br />
their<br />
families and<br />
friends for our first-<br />
ever Dangdut Nite. There were<br />
roaming dancers to up the ante,<br />
as well as hot and sexy dangdut<br />
singers and dancers. Lucky<br />
draw and games are part of<br />
any event but at the Dangdut<br />
Nite, our games were like no<br />
other. Dance competitions and<br />
cultural quizzes were what got the<br />
floor into a flurry ry instead and the<br />
fun and excitement was certainly<br />
palpable.<br />
In all, the event was truly enjoyable.<br />
We thank all who came to support<br />
the event and look forward to your<br />
participation at our next big party!<br />

Prize Presentation 2009<br />
The Golf Prize Presentation 2009 for both men and ladies<br />
was held at the Ficus Ballroom on Friday 5 March. The<br />
Golf Committee members played host to the event whose<br />
main menu was not the food but the crystal ware prizes<br />
that members had won in golf events held in 2009. They<br />
were not disappointed as hundreds of these glittering<br />
prizes were presented to the deserving winners.<br />
A golf invitational competition was held in the afternoon<br />
with Ross Tan and Grace Choo triumphing in the men and<br />
ladies divisions respectively.<br />

Comfortable Win For<br />
Naranjan and Yu Swan<br />
Naranjan Singh’s<br />
partnerships in the Lunar<br />
Trophy over the past few<br />
years have been very<br />
strong and this year,<br />
it was no exception.<br />
Forming a partnership<br />
with Maung Yu Swan Naranjan Singh<br />
helped the team to a<br />
comfortable win in the<br />
Lunar Trophy Competition<br />
held on Saturday 20 February.<br />
Both players made crucial<br />
contributions in the team<br />
scoring 47 stableford points.<br />
This is the third triumph that<br />
Naranjan had with different<br />
partners in this competition<br />
while Yu Swan tasted victory for the first time.<br />
The year of the Tiger looks to be another promising year<br />
for the two golfers if they can remain fit and maintain their<br />
fine form.<br />
The partnership<br />
of Gan Chong<br />
Shi and Winston<br />
Wong could only<br />
manage second<br />
Winston Wong<br />
placing despite<br />
a creditable 45 points, leaving the<br />

Let’s Relay!<br />
What is a sport without some<br />
competition? For two months in a row,<br />
we pit our young swimmers in friendly<br />
relays and telematches to sharpen<br />
their competitive edge and hone their<br />
swimming skills.<br />
In February, our young<br />
swimmers were divided into<br />
two teams with Goh Wei Jie<br />
and Azhiim tasked to lead their<br />
teams to the finish line. In March,<br />
we had a battle of the sexes.<br />
Each month, the excitement<br />
was palpable as each member<br />
put in their very best to do their<br />
own teams proud. Wei Jie’s team<br />
emerged victors in February’s challenge with Azhiim’s team coming in not too<br />
far behind. March saw Girl Power ruling as the girls’ team trounced the boys.<br />
We had a small party to congratulate the winners and celebrate birthday boys<br />
and girls of the month.<br />
JCC Comes Out<br />
Champs<br />
This year we fielded two teams to<br />

Singles League held from 13 March to 18<br />
April. Our team comprised Harold Choi<br />
as Captain for Team 1, with Elton Toh, Tan<br />

Team 2 was led by Erik Goh, with Jethro<br />
Wang, Ian Fang, Timonthy Soon, Adriel<br />
Tay, Nicholas Ngiam, Goh Wei Liang, and<br />
Coach Ong Kim Hock as members.<br />
Over six long weeks, our teams competed<br />
in rounds of challenge between clubs and<br />
both teams gave their best with visible<br />
improvement from last year’s performance.<br />
We trounced strong opponents such as<br />
Serangoon Gardens <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, Nanyang<br />
Technological University, Keppel <strong>Club</strong> and<br />
more. We are proud for our JCC Team 1 for<br />
their all-win track record, which brought<br />
them to the finals and ultimately winning<br />
