Captain’s Message<br />
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that we are now in the second phase of our Golf<br />
Course Upgrading Project, and upgrading works on our back nine is progressing steadily.<br />
FOREWORD<br />
To date, site clearing and removal of organic materials from Holes 10 to 18 have<br />
been fully completed; and so have final shaping works on the new Teeing Ground,<br />
Greens and Bunkers at Holes 10 to 14, which are ready for grass planting. We are also<br />
simultaneously carrying out sand-capping works on the fairways and roughs at Holes 11<br />
to 13, which will be turfed shortly.<br />
For the lakes at Holes 10 and 13, rubble -pitching works to the edge of the ponds have<br />
been completed. Meanwhile over at the ponds of Holes 14, 15 and 16, earthwork,<br />
rubble pitching, installation of sub-soil drainage, irrigation pipes and sandcapping<br />
are at the 50% completion mark and progressing sing well.<br />
Major earthworks have also commenced at Holes<br />
17 and 18, and this of course included the old 18th<br />
Green, which was formerly used as a short game<br />
practice area. We had to release the 18th Green to<br />
the contractors on 26 September as part of the whole upgrading project, as earthworks<br />
are scheduled for completion by end <strong>Dec</strong>ember, by which time it should also be ready for<br />
planting. We are sorry that members will need to be inconvenienced in the meantime and<br />
seek your kind understanding and cooperation as a short game facility will not be available<br />
for the time being. The <strong>Club</strong> is currently examining a new short game facility.<br />
To this end, I am pleased to announce that the <strong>Club</strong> is working hand in hand with our<br />
contractors to keep to our scheduled target of having the full 18 holes ready and complete<br />
by the first quarter of next year.<br />
Since the new first nine opened in May this year, members had been flocking back to<br />
JCC. The response has indeed been most encouraging. We received numerous positive<br />
feedback on the improved course conditions, in particular for our new Paspalum Greens<br />
which have been maintained to the highest standards, thanks to our maintenance crew.<br />
More golfers are also pitching in to repair pitch marks on the greens and replace divots on<br />
the fairways. Thank you all for your co-operation in helping us maintain the course and for<br />
practicing good golf etiquette.<br />
And now for more good news – it seems our Par 3 at Holes 3 and 6 have proven to<br />
be relatively easy. Since opening day on 23 May, we have celebrated five hole-inone<br />
achievements, with Peter Kwa scoring two aces at Hole 3 within just four days.<br />
Congratulations to Peter on his wonderful feat!<br />
Talking about feats, congratulations are also in order for our members Leon See, Colin<br />
Foo, Bruun Juha Petri and Geoff Stimpson who bagged this year’s <strong>Club</strong> Champion,<br />
Intermediate <strong>Club</strong> Champion, Crocodile Cup Champion and Matchplay Champion titles<br />
respectively. I would also like to record my appreciation to all our SGA League players<br />
for contributing their time & effort to represent the <strong>Club</strong> in this year’s SGA League which<br />
ended on 28 August. Our players played their best in their outings and came in 5th OCB<br />
in the A Division. I would like to commend our league team captains, Naranjan Singh<br />
(Senior division), Kim Ki Bong (Premier division), Andrew Cher (A Division) and Ross Tan<br />
(B Division) for successfully fostering camaraderie and team spirit in our members, and for<br />
encouraging our players to practice regularly and participate in the league games.<br />
I would also like to thank our Ladies’ SLGA league players who flew the JCC flag high.<br />
Our Ladies’ B Team did our club proud by winning the B Division. Overall our ladies<br />
came in third place for the SLGA League <strong>2011</strong>. Congratulations to our Lady Captain, Low<br />
Ju Fern for her dedication and commitment in leading our team to a fine finish for the<br />
season.<br />
I am pleased<br />
to announce<br />
that the <strong>Club</strong> is<br />
working hand<br />
in hand with<br />
our contractors<br />
to keep to our<br />
scheduled target<br />
of having the full<br />
18 holes ready<br />
and complete by<br />
the first quarter<br />
of next year.<br />
Happy golfing!<br />

Be A Wine Connoisseur<br />
A Blind Wine Tasting event was held at the Albizia 1<br />
on Fri, 16 Sep. A panel of members were selected to<br />
participate in this event to choose wines for the upcoming<br />
wine list at JCC, which includes both house pours and<br />
premium wines. Participants evaluated the wines based<br />
on specific criteria of visual appeal, aroma, sensation,<br />
taste and finish. A scoring was also done to ensure an<br />
accurate result. This was a remarkable experience for both<br />
the management and participants as it involved members<br />
on the selection of wines for the club. The management<br />
has found that the event was<br />
a success and members<br />
who are wine lovers are<br />
welcome to submit<br />
their names to F&B for<br />
the next Blind Wine<br />
Tasting event. For more<br />
information, please call<br />

CG16 IRONS –<br />
Black Pearl & Satin Chrome<br />
The CG16 Irons are designed with a lighter overall club weight<br />
and longer club length for maximum distance. The larger cavity<br />
back with full undercut stretches the center of gravity low and<br />
deep, thus optimizing launch angle and significantly improving<br />
forgiveness. The large thin face allows for increased coefficient<br />
of restitution and maximum ball speed that will produce<br />
distance comparable to any iron set in the market, but with<br />
better control. The CG 16 irons come with lightweight steel or<br />
graphite shafts. Available in Black Pearl or Satin Chrome.<br />
Wedge Face and Grooves<br />
Authentic precision laser milled face and milled tour zip<br />
grooves optimize spin and shot consistency – especially from<br />
the rough.<br />
Longer & Lighter design<br />
Ultralight steel and graphite shafts combined with optimized<br />
head weights, lofts and club lengths dramatically increase<br />
clubhead speed and distance.<br />
Overall Forgiveness<br />
Featuring a large thin face, wide sole and full<br />
cavity back design with undercut increases<br />
stability and maximizes distance and accuracy<br />
– even on mishits.<br />

<strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Championship <strong>2011</strong><br />
The annual <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Championship was held in the month of<br />
August with the qualifying round for the Crocodile Cup on Sat, 13 August and<br />
the <strong>Club</strong> Championship/Intermediate Cup on Sat, 20 August.<br />
Due to inclement weather, the qualifying round of the Crocodile Cup was<br />
abandoned and the event was reduced to 3 rounds. 13 members continued<br />
with the 3 rounds and eventually, the winner<br />
was Bruun Juha Petri who consistently played<br />
a 3 round total of 262 with gross scores of (88,<br />
86 & 88). He pipped his nearest rival, Ho Chye<br />
Huat by 2 strokes who returned with gross<br />
scores of (86, 91 & 87). Third placing went to<br />
Chee Fook Seng who returned gross scores of<br />
(93, 86 & 87) making a total of 266.<br />
Describing Hole #7 as a challenge on the<br />
course, Juha’s response to winning the<br />
Crocodile Cup was jovial. He said “It is quite a<br />
big surprise as I haven’t been playing too long.<br />
It was nice to win, although enjoying the game is most important to me.<br />
For the Intermediate Cup, the 4 rounds were contested keenly with 10 members<br />
making it to the final round on Sunday, 4 Sep. Colin Foo regained his form and<br />
won the Championship with his 4 day gross<br />
score of 344 (88, 83, 90 & 83). His closest<br />
rival was Ang Hoon Siang, who came in<br />
with a total of 350 (86, 85, 92 & 87). It has<br />
been an excellent run for Colin as he also<br />
won the <strong>Club</strong> Matchplay competition in<br />
July partnering Stanley Ang.<br />
This year’s <strong>Club</strong> Championship spotted a<br />
new winner, as we did not see the entry<br />
of Edwin Pereira who was the 2010<br />
champion due to his work schedule.<br />
The <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Championship winner Leon See played superb golf in the<br />
first 2 rounds and despite a shaky 3rd round of 80, he managed to maintain<br />
the lead to clinch the <strong>Club</strong> Championship. Good Oh gave Leon a close fight<br />
when he played a gross 67 on the second round but was unable to maintain<br />
his lead and collapsed with a punishing 81 on the final day, giving Leon the<br />
title. Leon returned with a gross 72 on the final round and winning the <strong>Club</strong><br />
Championship for <strong>2011</strong>. His 4 day total of 302 (75, 75, 80 & 72) was 9 strokes<br />
ahead of Good Oh who came back with a 311 (80, 67, 83 & 81). The 3rd place<br />
went to Jung Sang Jin who played in the penultimate flight with Leon and Good<br />
Oh, returning with his 4 round score of 317 (79, 72, 83 & 83).<br />
Colin Foo<br />
Bruun Juha Petri<br />
In a short interview with Leon, this<br />
is what he had to share:<br />
At which point did you feel the game<br />
was most challenging to you and how<br />
did you overcome it?<br />
“The most challenging point of the<br />
game was on the 3rd round where<br />
the pin positions were the hardest<br />
I've experienced on the new '9'.<br />
Having hit a good drive on the 2nd<br />
hole and losing the ball, 4-putting the<br />
very next hole was something I had<br />
to overcome in order to keep up with<br />
Good Oh.”<br />
What helped you to win this year?<br />
“The bi-weekly premier league<br />
matches leading up to the <strong>Club</strong><br />
Championship helped me a lot with<br />
handling pressure and giving me<br />
some competitive exposure against<br />
different types of golfers from various<br />
clubs. It was a good 'warm-up' for<br />
the <strong>Club</strong> Championship.”<br />
Do you have any advice to aspiring<br />
golfers?<br />
“Golf is a game of nerves. One bad<br />
shot could ruin your whole mentality<br />
and a potentially good game. Play<br />
one shot at a time, take regular deep<br />
breaths and most of all enjoy your<br />
golf game whether you're having a<br />
good or a bad day!”<br />

Wrapping up the <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Championship for this year, we would<br />
like to thank all members and staff for making this event a success and look<br />
forward to an exciting competition again in 2012.<br />

Matchplay Championship Final<br />
The finals for the <strong>Club</strong>’s Matchplay Championship turned out<br />
to be a battle between the young and old. More specifically,<br />
between 64 year old and 5.1 (handicap index) Geoff<br />
Stimpson and 21 year old, 2.2 (handicap index) and former<br />
2006 Matchplay winner Leon See.<br />
Both SGA League players for JCC, Geoff, who plays in the<br />
Senior Team, was one up against Leon See, who plays in the<br />
JCC Premier Team, from the first hole. Halving the second,<br />
Leon evened the score by the third hole, only to have Geoff’s<br />
precise approaches edging him out two-up by the sixth,<br />
when Leon’s tee shot landed in the water and Geoff won the<br />
hole with a bogey. By the end of the first nine, Geoff was still<br />
two-up and though Leon fought back to win back the tenth<br />
hole with a par, he lost it at the eleventh and missed another<br />
birdie chance at Hole 14 when his putt lipped the hole.<br />
With only four more holes to go, Geoff duffed his tee shot at<br />
the Par 3 15th hole, while Leon’s was on the left hand side of<br />
the green. Leon three-putted the hole for a bogey while Geoff<br />
halved the hole with a bogey, winning the match four-up<br />
with three holes to go.<br />
Congratulations to our Senior Geoff Stimpson for champing<br />
the match, and to Leon for a most exciting game!<br />

GOLF<br />
Hole-In-One<br />
Feature<br />
Mr Peter Kwa is our latest member<br />
to score hole-in-ones at our golf<br />
course. It was our pleasure to<br />
conduct a short interview with him<br />
to share his view on this feat.<br />
Congratulations on your achievement!<br />
What are your thoughts about scoring<br />
2 hole-in-ones within 4 days at our golf<br />
course?<br />
Peter: After golfing for over 20 years<br />
without scoring any aces, I was absolutely<br />
thrilled when I scored my first 2 hole-inones<br />
at JCC within 4 days. It was amazing<br />
that both of the hole-in-ones happened at<br />
Hole 3 in our newly upgraded JCC course.<br />
I feel very blessed to have achieved this<br />
feat.<br />
Hole in one = skill or chance? What is<br />
your opinion on it? Surely skill must have<br />
a part to play when you scored 2 hole-inones<br />
within 4 days!<br />
Peter: I can truly assure you that I have<br />
never set this as a goal in my whole life!<br />
However, for my shot at Hole 3 in JCC I<br />
can recount to you what I did. I aimed and<br />
swung at the right edge of the left bunker.<br />
I also adjusted up the edge because the<br />
pin was up. Beyond that, there was an<br />
invisible hand that guided the ball to its<br />
destination.<br />
How do you rate your overall experience<br />
playing at our newly remodeled first<br />
nine?<br />
Peter: This new course is really enjoyable<br />
to play in. You don't need to be a low<br />
handicapper to play well and each hole is<br />
reasonably challenging.<br />
What do you think is the best feature of<br />
our new nine?<br />
Peter: I think that our bunkers are great!<br />
The sand is nice and there are plenty of<br />
them along each hole. It makes golfing in<br />
JCC a pleasant experience.<br />
What satisfies you most in golf?<br />
Peter: To me, golfing is wonderful living.<br />
I look forward to the next game before<br />
going to bed every night. I would like to<br />
thank all my flight mates, friends, JCC<br />
members, management and staff for<br />
sharing this special moment with me.<br />

Lifesaving Course <strong>2011</strong><br />
As part of our efforts to introduce more swimming-related activities to<br />
the <strong>Club</strong>, an inaugural Lifesaving Course was conducted. Ten brave<br />
young boys registered for the course, conducted by our very own Head<br />
Coach Dennis Yeo, to learn about basic lifesaving and different rescue<br />
techniques.<br />
After several weeks of intensive classes and training, the boys learnt the<br />
following:<br />
• Basic water safety<br />
• Principles of water rescue<br />
• Dangers of open water<br />
• Treatment for cramps<br />
• Basic rescue techniques (i.e. reach,<br />
throw, accompanied rescue, tow with<br />
defensive technique, etc)<br />
• Resuscitation on land and in water<br />
To mark the end of their training and put their knowledge and skills to the<br />
test, the boys went through a specially organized Lifesaving 1, 2, and 3<br />
combined test on 21 July by the Singapore Life Saving Society (SLSS). The<br />
boys were eager to pass and not only aced the test, but picked up a few<br />
tips from the SLSS tester himself.<br />
