Getting
ahead
in 2012
We have just embarked on our journey into year 2012, the time when the world was predicted
to come to an end and catastrophes destroy the human race. With the current Euro zone crisis,
will there be opportunity amid uncertainty? Well, from a Feng Shui perspective, the year of
the Water Dragon signifies many possibilities for good fortune. Flip over to page 13 to learn
how year 2012 may influence your lives.
In this issue, we have lined up a series of activities for you and your family ranging from Yoga lessons to learning self-
defence tactics. For those who like low-impact sports, we have arranged bowling clinics and leagues for you to enjoy.
Find out how to take care of your health, stay free from injuries and protect your skin by attending our health related
seminars.
January and February are packed with holidays. If you are planning on visiting our resort, remember to check out the
Chinese New Year operating hours. On Valentine’s Day learn how to make chocolates and bring your date on a bowl.
Read about NSRCC members and employees’ quirky resolutions for 2012 and if you have not made your resolution,
quickly do so or just forget about it.
Over in the On Par section, I would like to give mention to our junior golfers for their achievements. Joshua Ho recently
participated in the prestigious Barclays Singapore Open while Caleb Ng represented the country to participate in the
final leg of the Development Programme in TPC Sawgrass last December, home to the PGA Tour Players Championship.
We have added a feature to bring readers behind the scenes of our work beginning with our course maintenance
colleagues who tirelessly keep our golf courses in pristine condition. Newly joined members please note that the club
would like to advise golfers to dress appropriately while playing on the courses. This issue, we give tips on how to play
the ball when lying against a rake position in Golf 101.
Finally, we would like to congratulate all the winners in the recent Annual Bowling Championship as well as newly
crowned snooker bi-monthly medal champion. Last but not least, to our Chinese readers, do remember to turn to the
‘Food Watch’ section to pre-order your must have Chinese New Year festive delicacy dish - Pen Cai.
We hope that you will continue to enjoy our first issue of the year and continue to give us your feedback.
On behalf of the President, General Committee and Management of NSRCC, I would like to wish all our Chinese readers
a prosperous Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
Regards,
Tan Sze Wah

Annual Bowling
Championship 2011
The NSRCC Bowling Championship saw 40 bowlers compete in three different categories namely
Men, Ladies and Youths. They had to complete a series of 12 games to determine the champion
for each category whereas scratch scores were computed for the title.
The competition was held in line with the aim of enhancing
the level of competitiveness among our bowlers and to
foster closer friendships. Derek Chan got off to a decent
start in the first half of the 12-game series. He bowled
2552 pinfalls for an average score of 213, to clinch the Men
category title.
In the Ladies category, Tay Hui Wen opened her game with
a sizzling 221 pinfalls. She continued to amaze with her
consistency and attained a high game score of 278 to clinch
victory in the Ladies category.
Loke Chor of the Youths category proved to be no pushover.
He emerged champion with a final game of 258 pinfalls.
At the end of the competition, all winners were awarded
cash prizes and trophies while celebrating their triumph
over a sumptuous buffet.

Youth Selection Roll-off 2011
NSRCC Youth Selection rolled off on the early morning of 4
December, Sunday at SAFRA Resort Bowl. The event attracted
22 bowlers raring to earn a spot in the NSRCC Youth Squad
Bowling Team.
This annual event aims to develop and nurture young talents
between the ages of 13 to 19 years who show consistent results
to bowl competitively.
After a series of eight games, bowlers’ skills were put to the test.
They had to bowl four games of short oiling and four games
of long oiling. Coaches will assess them based on their ability
to adapt to tournament lanes and format with the moving of
lanes after every two games interval.
Tay Hui Wen put up a solid performance when she hit a
resounding total of 1425 pinfalls. Good job, Hui Wen!
The Youth Selection Roll-Off 2011 was not only a time of fun
but also a great opportunity for fellow bowlers to interact with
their peers. We hope to see you soon in the next roll-off.

Development Programme
– Who’s Next? Get in the hole!
The Junior Golf Development Programme (JGDP) was launched in 2006
with the objective of providing supervised and structured training
programmes for our young golfers such that they may compete at the
national level and eventually be recommended as candidates for the
National Team Selection. Today, I am proud to say that this objective has
been met with some degree of success. You may recognise some of our
very own junior golfers such as Quincy Quek, Johnson Poh, Joey Poh and
Phoebe Nicole Tan, who have since earned many distinguished accolades
for the country.
