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 />

12<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 />
