Dear Members,<br />
2011 was a challenging year clouded with high inflation and news of<br />
uncertain global economic outlook. The <strong>Club</strong> had continued to focus on<br />
improving and upgrading facilities, and enhancing membership value for the<br />
past year, albeit in a financially prudent and sustainable manner.<br />
Over the last 12 months, the <strong>Club</strong> has invested substantially on facilities<br />
improvement and upgrading which included refurbishing the Grand<br />
Ballroom, relocating and upgrading Jackpot Royale, replacement of buggy<br />
batteries, repairing of building structure and replacing malfunctioned<br />
equipments due to wear and tear over the last 18 years of heavy usage. Each<br />
year, the <strong>Club</strong> sets aside funds reserved for facility repairs and enhancement<br />
to undertake the upgrading, repairs works as and when required in order to<br />
maintain the service standard. As the facilities are showing signs of age, we<br />
plan to step up upgrading or repair works primarily for members’ benefit.<br />
Better facilities will also help attract more events and banquet functions to<br />
be held at OCC, which translates into higher revenue for the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Leasehold premium will be due for review at the end of next year and we<br />
are expecting the lease premium to increase quite significantly. The <strong>Club</strong><br />
was also hit with an increase in additional property tax payable as a result<br />
of revision in annual value, and we are still in the midst of appealing to the<br />
authorities.<br />
In addition to the above property costs, the <strong>Club</strong> continued to face cost<br />
pressures from higher utilities and manpower costs. Despite energy saving<br />
measures taken to manage electricity consumption, the costs continued to<br />
escalate due to higher electricity tariffs, something that we have no control<br />
over. Manpower costs will continue to rise as well, especially with the recent<br />
government calls to help the low wage workers.<br />
With the escalating <strong>Club</strong> operation costs and the need for substantial capital<br />
expenditure to maintain and upgrade facilities, generating higher revenue<br />
and achieving better productivity shall remain the key focus for the General<br />
Committee and Management going forward. We will need to stay financially<br />
viable to do more for members.<br />
One of the recent initiatives that the <strong>Club</strong> had undertaken to cushion the<br />
negative impact generated by the opening of two integrated resorts (IRs)<br />
in 2010 was the relocation of Jackpot Royale to a new premise. The newly<br />
renovated jackpot room and new jackpot machines that were installed<br />
had enhanced members’ playing pleasure. The effort has certainly paid<br />
off as evidenced from the increase in patronage from members. Members<br />
are also full of praise for the newly acquired jackpot machines which are<br />
comparable to what IRs are offering.<br />
To enhance membership value, the <strong>Club</strong> has also brought in new<br />
renowned tenants such as Gayatri Restaurant and Cristofori Music<br />
School to offer members more variety of products and services in OCC.<br />
Members enjoy exclusive discounts at the outlets and Management will<br />
also be working closely with them to provide interesting activities for<br />
members. The <strong>Club</strong>’s financials have also benefited with the additional<br />
rental income collected.<br />
The reciprocal and access arrangements with overseas clubs have<br />
been intensified, and we are pleased to update that we now have<br />
50 reciprocal and access arrangements with social and golf clubs<br />
globally. More social activities such as drive trips or group excursions<br />
to neighboring countries have also been organized for members’<br />
participation. Be assured, we will continue our efforts to create more<br />
activities and programs for members.<br />
Last but not least, as members of the <strong>Club</strong>, we need you to come<br />
and enjoy the facilities as often as you can to make our efforts and<br />
investments worthwhile.<br />

Dear Members,<br />
Since the beginning of this year, the <strong>Club</strong> has signed a number of new<br />
reciprocal and access arrangements with Golf and Social clubs from all<br />
over the world, including from South Africa, Italy, China, India, and Thailand.<br />
Apart from golfing reciprocity, we are also tying up with social clubs such<br />
as Kowloon Cricket <strong>Club</strong> in Hong Kong, to give our members more choices.<br />
We shall continue to negotiate more of such arrangements in Asia and will<br />
update members in the near future.<br />
Through the recent membership profile survey, we have garnered valuable<br />
insights into your wish list and areas for improvements at the <strong>Club</strong>. My<br />
appreciation goes out to all members who participated in the survey and<br />
gave their constructive inputs and comments.<br />
Many of you indicated interest in swimming, more overseas trips and<br />
courses such as photography and cooking. We have taken the survey results<br />
into consideration and some of these activities had been introduced for<br />
your participation to gauge the response before more will be added. For<br />
example, last month, the <strong>Club</strong> organized a holiday swim camp for teens and<br />
a day trip full of great food and fun to Desaru for members, which was wellreceived.<br />
Some of you have also shared your concerns that the arcade room is<br />
under-utilized, while others have requested for new pool tables. As such, I<br />
am pleased to inform that new pool tables and massage chairs have been<br />
placed for members’ enjoyment in the arcade. Do keep your ideas and<br />
comments coming in, as they are important for our continuous improvement<br />
and to serve you better.<br />
To further enhance your membership value, we have introduced members’<br />
social nights where you can enjoy selected chargeable activities at no fees<br />
on weeknights, examples of which are mahjong, squash, tennis, table tennis<br />
and gym classes.<br />
Come <strong>July</strong>, the <strong>Club</strong> is partnering with NTUC to bring you Connect U,<br />
a family carnival featuring a walking trail on the golf course. It is a rare<br />
opportunity for non-golfers to take a stroll on the courses, so I hope to see<br />
you there. In <strong>August</strong>, we are gearing up for OCC’s social dancing event of<br />
the year, <strong>August</strong> Ball. I hope you have prepared your dancing shoes and do<br />
book your tickets early to avoid disappointment. Not forgetting our range<br />
activities, look out for our monthly range promotions and the annual Range<br />
Carnival planned on 25 and 26 <strong>August</strong>. Last but not least, in a bid to turn<br />
your sleepy Sunday to a superb one, check out our special Sunday deals on<br />
hotel, golf and at the range.<br />
OCC is prepared to invest more into its facilities maintenance and<br />
activities to make the <strong>Club</strong> a fun and family-oriented venue for our<br />
members and guests. But for us to succeed, we seek your continued<br />
active participation for these <strong>Club</strong> initiatives.<br />
I hope to see you at OCC soon!<br />

practices in order to make the <strong>Club</strong> a safe environment for members, guests and staff<br />
to play and work. Our efforts have paid off as we are now bizSAFE certified! Below are<br />
some of the safety improvement works implemented around OCC.<br />
Safety Measures<br />
at Recreational<br />
<strong>Club</strong>house<br />
To prevent<br />
accidents, safety<br />
measures have<br />
been put in place<br />
at the emergency<br />
exit door near<br />
the Social &<br />
Recreational<br />
area.<br />
Potted plants around and<br />
painted yellow lines<br />
Warning signs and<br />
view glass on door<br />
Stronger door closer<br />
& chime<br />
Placement<br />
of Automated<br />
External Defibrillators<br />
Automated External Defibrillators have been<br />
installed at eight different locations in the <strong>Club</strong><br />
– <strong>Orchid</strong> Lodge hotel lobby, outside the Grand<br />
Ballroom, outside the gym, golf bag drop area,<br />
driving range and on three marshal buggies.<br />
In case of medical emergencies, members and<br />
guests of the club may break open the cabinets and<br />
follow the 7-step guide displayed beside the unit.<br />
To ensure better workplace safety, 18 of our staff<br />
members have undergone the AED & CPR course.<br />
And more will be trained in the months ahead. Find<br />
out more on page 28!<br />

Care<br />
for the<br />
Course<br />
The Golf Department<br />
has been conducting Etiquette<br />
Operations on the course to<br />
educate golfers about golf Etiquette<br />
on a regular basis. The marshals are<br />
going around to remind all golfers<br />
about golf etiquette, so as to ensure<br />
a better golfing experience for<br />
everyone.<br />
Golfers, please remember to repair<br />
ball marks on the green, replace<br />
the divots and rake the bunkers to<br />
remove footprints.<br />
Compulsory Golf Insurance for Golfers<br />
Please note that from 15 June <strong>2012</strong>, it is compulsory for all golfers golfing at OCC to have golf insurance<br />
and they are required to produce proof of their insurance during registration. All members’ guests and<br />
visitors who do not have insurance must purchase it at the golfing registration counter at $5 per golfer,<br />
per round, before they tee off. Members who do not have golf insurance are advised to sign up at the golf<br />
registration counter.<br />

golf course was designed by renowned golfer and British open winner Peter Thomson.<br />
Delhi Golf <strong>Club</strong>, India<br />
Let’s welcome Delhi Golf <strong>Club</strong>,<br />

journey of 3,632 yards - par 38<br />
and a coming of 3,340 yards<br />
- par 35. The course record<br />
is held by Graham Marsh, the<br />
Australian, who in the first and<br />
second rounds of the 1971 open<br />
paved his way to victory with<br />
two consecutive 66’s.<br />

register for the Super Sprint Race!<br />
The men and women runners started the 2.5km race<br />
officially at 11.30pm, followed by the youths and kids<br />
as young as 10 years old. The race ended with a 5km<br />
competitive race which was open for all.<br />

The Kampong Glam Luncheon on 5<br />
May <strong>2012</strong> was filled with fun, entertainment<br />
and great food to relive the good old days!<br />
All members and guests received<br />
an OCC mug as welcome gift. During<br />
the feast, they also indulged in soothing<br />
ukulele music and were fascinated by the<br />
magic show!<br />
To top it off, five lucky winners walked away<br />
with a Nescafe “Alegria” coffee machine at<br />
the end of the day!<br />

A total of 65 OCC and ACC members<br />
came together for this excursion to Desaru.<br />
Highlights included a sampling of the famous<br />
“Dao Sha Ping” and “Pong Piah” from Se Yuan<br />
Bakery Food Supply and a visit to the fruit farm<br />
and mini zoo. Lunch was served at a popular<br />
local seafood restaurant while dinner was at the<br />
“New Mui Tou” restaurant. To finish off the trip,<br />
the last stop was a boat ride for a breathtaking<br />
view of fireflies which resembled twinkling<br />
Christmas lights.<br />
We enjoyed ourselves on the meals,<br />
shopping, farm and river tour (fireflies).<br />
Hope to have more of these outdoor<br />
activities for this coming year. GOOD JOB<br />
& WELL DONE!<br />

Testimonials<br />
I’m writing in to give my compliments to you and your staffs<br />
at <strong>Orchid</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, and also the liberty to commend the excellent service<br />
of your Chief Security Officer, Mr William Sim.<br />
I was at the club one afternoon and I left my iPad at the Gym without realizing<br />
until I got home. I visited the club again the next morning to trace my path<br />
and to locate my lost iPad.<br />
A security staff referred me to Mr. William Sim, he promptly took down the<br />
details and assisted to locate my iPad at the places I have visited. Soon, it was<br />
located and returned to me.<br />
I congratulate you and your club for having such a dedicated and effective<br />
staff and also wish to commend the excellent service from the OCC Security<br />
team which would be a reflection of William’s strong leadership.<br />
My best wishes, and much more success to OCC.<br />
Yours Sincerely,<br />
Already in my 50s, I have always been looking<br />
for ways to get fitter and I happened to come across a notice<br />
about a Taekwondo class in the OCC club magazine. I decided<br />
to give it a try. Any worries about not being able to cope with<br />
the training were quickly put at ease by the Chief Instructor,<br />
Mr Richard Wong of Climatic TKD Groups.<br />
With careful guidance, there wasn’t any stress as we progressed<br />
at our own pace depending on our fitness level and capability.<br />
The lessons have a good mix of physical training as well as<br />
theoretical explanations with a strong emphasis on discipline<br />
and respect. I always look forward to a good workout with my<br />
teammates after a stressful week at work.<br />
I have been training Taekwondo with OCC since the 2010 and<br />
hold a brown belt currently. I have benefited greatly, noticing<br />
an overall increase in fitness, health and alertness.<br />
Best Regards,<br />
William Goh<br />

I have enjoyed my time in Singapore and OCC. The<br />
front desk staff has been accommodating and responsive.<br />
Suhaimi was great. The banquet team is always willing to<br />
adjust to our meal times. I am pleased and thankful to<br />
everyone who made the week a big success. I have also enjoyed<br />
my room and view. Great job everyone!<br />
Dear Mr. Gopal,<br />
I would like to express my appreciation to your team for<br />
making my stay at OCC a very pleasant experience.<br />
Although there are minor hiccups, the team did their best<br />
to rectify with the best of their abilities. For example, when<br />
I feedback that the fridge in the room is not working, the<br />
team did a swap within 5 mins and I was impressed. Next,<br />
the toilet bowl area was leaking and your housekeeping staff,<br />
Aisha, immediately expressed concern that the floor might be<br />
slippery and asked if we would like a room swap.<br />
Lastly, Chan and Varu did not push my queries away and<br />
kept me updated promptly.<br />
Overall, the front desk, housekeeping and maintenance team<br />
are indeed attentive and responsive to guest’s needs.<br />
Thank you.<br />
Harold Hill<br />
Dear Mr. Peter Goh,<br />
I would like to formally and publicly commend all OCC staffs for the excellent<br />
service provided during my wedding dinner on 6th May <strong>2012</strong> at the Grand<br />
Ballroom. The level of service extended was far beyond our expectations;<br />
especially the banquet staffs.<br />
Karen, Armi and their teams should be held up as an example for other to<br />
emulate for their extraordinary commitment to excel in customer service and<br />
support. They truly deserve my praise for their support and service<br />
Kind Regards,<br />
Tan Ming Wei<br />
This email serves to congratulate you in your achievement of selecting dedicated<br />
staffs that are the heart and souls of a prestigious club.<br />
I have seen many improvements in clients’ service since I joined some years<br />
ago. The culture set by management is on the right track, that of listening and<br />
tailoring to the clients’ needs and winning their patronage and loyalty.<br />
- I would like to single out an outstanding gym staff, Stanley Conelius,<br />
a real asset to OCC. Ever since he came, the gym has become so<br />
inviting due to the following efforts:<br />
- Cozy reading corner with comfortable seats with good reading material,<br />
- Colorful fishes in the clean aquarium<br />
- Massage chair in the gym<br />
- Putting up encouraging prompters to excel, persevere and share space<br />
cordially<br />
- Being attentive, proactive and encouraging to the gym users<br />
A good gym, in my view, is one where it provides inclusive and conducive<br />
environment to better one’s health and shares comradeship.<br />
All the very best to you and the Management.<br />
