the editor speaks
This March marks the 17th birthday of NSRCC, which
was officially opened on 13 March 1994. This issue,
we take some time to reflect on the club’s journey since
opening. Some of you have been members of the club since
opening. We want to thank you for your support and for being a loyal
members all this while and sharing with us the journey so far.
Over the course of these 17 years, the club has seen many changes and developments which have added
value to members. These include building a new golf course at Kranji, upgrading of the golf courses at
Changi, major upgrading to the beachfront bungalows and clubhouse, and most recently the relaunch
of the sea sports centre. All these gave club members access to more and better facilities. Members have
given us their positive feedback and appreciation of the various upgrading. We are grateful for the positive
response and the encouragement that members value these improvements and developments.
All these improvements were done at significant costs to the club. Fortunately, the club has been prudent
in its management of resources and has been able to build up reserves in past years to re-invest in the
club for the benefit of members. And all these developments were done with as little impact on the
membership base as possible, including refraining from increasing fees even despite the rising costs over
the past 17 years. However, as a self-sustaining club and to continue building new facilities and upgrading
existing ones, the tide of rising costs poses many challenges.
At the recent President’s Trophy held in Jan, LG Neo Kian Hong, Chief of Defence Force/President, NSRCC
made his inaugural President’s address to members. He cited some of the challenges the club face moving
ahead. These include rising costs of irrigation water and electricity tariffs. Currently, the club management
is looking at various options to sustain long-term water needs. While it would continue to manage its
resources carefully to continue providing members with great service and facilities, the external challenges
such as inflationary pressures, are in reality not within its control.
In January, our newly revamped sea sports centre hosted the Asian Windsurfing Championship where
many windsurfers of international standing competed. It was an exciting weekend for members who had a
chance to witness a event of such status at their home club. Many members took the opportunity to spend
some time with their families at the sea sports centre, dining al fresco at the restaurants or just having
a simple drink or picnic while catching some action. The NSRCC management and its partners would
continue to work towards bringing more such exciting events and activities closer home to members.

Observe ‘Earth Hour’ 2011
NSRCC would like to invite staff, members and guests of the club to observe
‘Earth Hour’ on Sat, 26 March between 8.30pm to 9.30pm by turning off the
lights for an hour on that night, and refrain from using electricity as much as
possible whether at home or at the club. During Earth Hour, we would turn off
our club’s building perimeter lights as well as lights at the carpark.
This is an initiative by the club to join hands with like-minded organizations
around the world to help conserve the world’s resources in an event organized
by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and help fight against climate change.
Your Rewards
for Going Green
In the past 6 months, many NSRCC members took up our challenge to go green by opting to receive only
the electronic copy of the monthly statement of accounts. Here are the results of the lucky draw for those
who have opted to give up the hard copy of the monthly statement.
Congratulations to member, Marcus Teo on winning a Asus Net Book from NSRCC e-Statement opt-out
promotion who had this to say after collecting his prize: “Don’t kill the trees!’’
Members who registered to opt-out of receiving mailed paper statements between June 2010 and January
2011 were eligible for the lucky draw. Marcus name was randomly picked from all of the eligible entries.
Choose to Go Green Too! Through this initiative, NSRCC is showing its commitment to reduce the use of
paper. Each month the club mails out more than 10,000 sheets of paper and envelopes to members to
update them of their monthly statement. This translates to many, many trees in a year. Opting for the
e-statement of account gives members timely and easily retrievable information on the status of their
accounts, and save many more trees in the process. At the same time, you can also opt out of this hard
copy of newsletter by writing to corpcomms@nsrcc.com.sg as the pdf copy is also available to read online
or for download at our club website.

SAFRA Resort Bowl
Upgrading
Lanes
SAFRA Resort Bowl will close all 20 lanes for upgrading project from 3 May to 31 May. The new synthetic lanes are scheduled
to be reopened on 1 June. Members will notice a new lane surface and a better bowling experience when the renovations are
completed. The CAFÉ, Karaoke rooms, Games Arcade and Pool tables are not affected and will remain open. The management
would like to assure that it will make every effort to minimise noise and disturbance. This temporary inconvenience is aimed
at providing even better service and experience to you in future.
Held from 28 November to 23 December last year, the
NSRCC Youth Selection Roll-Off is an annual event
which aims to develop and nurture young talents
aged between 10 to 19 years of age to greater heights
in the sport.
In this selection, participants had to bowl a 12-game
series and were put to test when they had to bowl
6 games of short oil and long oil patterns each. This
allowed the bowlers to learn how to adapt and react
to the different lane conditions.
The selected 28 bowlers will go through a regime
of weekly in-house bowling training for a period of
ten months conducted by NSRCC’s resident coach,
NSRCC Remy Ong and assistant head coach, Sam Goh. They
will also have an opportunity to represent NSRCC in

And what’s the high seas without some refreshments? The

with drinks in hand while waiting for their turns at the photo-
taking sessions or having key chains made specially for the
occasion.
The evening’s line-up included fun stage games and a lively
emcee whose infectious energy and witty repartee kept the
crowd entertained all night long. Live band, ‘The Evergreens’ was
also on hand to lend the party an even festive atmosphere. One
of the highlights of the night was definitely the impressive and
fiery fire-eating performance by Asia’s Face of Fire Showdown.
Another big highlight, of course, was the lucky draw and finding

NSRCC Sea Sports Centre
Stages Singapore Open Asian
Windsurfing Championships
Our newly re-launched NSRCC Sea Sports Centre recently hosted the prestigious 30th Singapore Open Asian
Windsurfing Championship.
The five-day championship held from 12 to 16 January 2011 is an international event attracting top windsurfers from
Asia. There was strong participation from Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia competing in six different classes from
Formula to Olympic class with a total of 150 participants.
The event was graced by Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Community Development, Youth
and Sports (MCYS). Also present to lend support to the event was Dr Ben Tan, Chairman of Singapore Sailing Federation.
There was a real buzz of excitement about the sea sports centre as members as well as windsurfing enthusiasts
came to support the event and experience some high octane action at sea, in a relaxing ambiance of our newly
upgraded sea sports centre. Many took the opportunity to book a table for alfresco lunch or dinner while watching
the windsurfing championship.
Cheng Kwok Fai from Hong Kong won the men’s RS:X Olympic class while compatriot Chan Wai Kei finished in top
place in the women’s event. In the under 17 Techno 293 division, Lee Chun Ting from Hong Kong nailed first place in
the boy’s competition and Singapore’s pride Audrey Yong came in third in the girl’s category.
Officials, media, guests and spectators gave positive feedback to the centre’s facilities and ability to provide a
prominent stage for top windsurfers to exhibit their skills.
International Windsurfing Association Executive Secretary Ceri Williams praised the venue: ‘It is more obvious that
Singapore has already shown it is more than capable of staging big events. In terms of this and the venue, there aren’t
any issues to prevent it from hosting windsurfing world championships.’
On the future of the sport, Mr Teo said he was heartened by the recent successes of local windsurfers performance
at last year’s Youth Olympic and he had this to say about the sport ‘I’m happy that windsurfing is coming back up.’
NSRCC has always provided premier golf and country club facilities for NSmen. Through the newly re-launched Sea
Sports Centre. We aim to bring in more sea sports related championships and activities to add excitement on our
08
calendar. This would give members and their families more opportunities to enjoy sporting events at affordable cost.

17Years
NSRCC Looks Back on
Wonderful
NSRCC - Making Golf Accessible to Many
This month, NSRCC turns 17 years old. We were officially opened on 13 March 1994. The opening of NSRCC then
signified a milestone for NSmen and the golfing fraternity. For the first time, golf was accessible to NSmen at a very
affordable price. It marked a major turning point in the local golfing landscape as golfing was now accessible not
just to the exclusive few.
Added Value of Membership Over The Years
Over the past 17 years, NSRCC continued its mission to provide premier yet affordable resort and golfing facilities
for NSmen and their families. Many facilities and services were added over the years to increase the value of the
club membership to keep up with the rising aspirations and expectations of members. Now, members get to enjoy
access to two golf clubs for just the price of one and even get to enjoy a newly revamped sea sports centre at one of
the most serene corners of Singapore.
Prudent Management Made This Possible – But Challenges In The Horizon
NSRCC is a self-sustaining club and it needs to keep itself financially liable in order to sustain its operations and
accummulate sufficient reserves to re-invest in upgrading the club facilities and services to benefit members. All the
improvement in the past were possible as the club management has been prudent with resources and managed to
build up sufficient reserves in past years to invest in such developments.
We hope to be able to continue improving the club for members. However, as with all businesses, NSRCC also face
inflationary pressures. Some of the challenges we face in future include increases in critical core services such as
water. Since April last year, NSRCC had to pay an increase of $200,000 per year on water for irrigating the golf
courses due to a change in government water management policy. The club also has to pay for higher electricity
tariffs.
Despite these higher operating and maintenance costs the resort is committed to build up on capital reserve to fund
future upgrading projects to provide our members with the highest level of services and value for money. We hope
members will stay with us and provide us with suggestions on ways to further improve the club’s offerings thus
enhancing the value of your membership. We would continue to manage our resources prudently to give members
the best value, as much as is practically possible.
We look back now at some of the major development over the past 17 years that has added value to your membership
and which has been among the changes that has been most well-received by members.

We have just embarked on the year of the Rabbit. Just as the
rabbit hops up and down, so does the market. So do you buy
and hold or try to take advantage of market cycles? Our guest
writer Dennis Ng shares his personal experience.
Make
Market Cycles
Work for You
Market Booms and Busts
Observing nature, we will notice cycles.
Similarly in the financial markets, there are market cycles where busts follow booms and vice versa. That
is why the ‘party’ ended with a market crash in year 2008, after global stock prices shot up by between
200 and 500 per cent in the last four years.
According to historical analysis, 2008 was one of the worst years for stocks since 1937. For many, this
might be depressing news but for me, this is exciting news, which helped me decide to buy stocks after
the collapse of Lehman Brothers in Sep 2008. And as a result of “buying low”, my stock portfolio has risen
in value by over 50% in the last 2 years.
I would say that in the short term, it is difficult to time the market correctly on a consistent basis. However,
it is definitely possible to roughly estimate at which stage of the market cycle we are in.
For instance, in 2007, the stock market was in its fourth bullish year. Back then, the Straits Times Index
(STI) had risen about 200 per cent from a low of 1,226 in March 2003 to over 3,600 points.
As far as I remember, the Singapore stock market has never had a bull market that lasted more than five
years. Believing back then that we were near the tail end of a bull market, I sold most of my stocks and
avoided the market carnage that followed a few months after that.
The Steps to ‘Market Cycle Investing’ are Simple.
First, we try to estimate at which stage of the market cycle we are in.

Secondly, we try to identify the major trend direction - upwards or downwards.
Finally, we position ourselves accordingly; basically, the strategy to take is to go
with the trend instead of going against the trend. About

Charity Golf 201 1
21-22 May
Last year’s Charity Golf was an
extremely memorable occasion
as the event not only managed to
garner $500,000 for the five selected
beneficiaries, it also saw two lucky
participants walking away with
the exclusive hole-in-one prizes – a
feat that has eluded Charity Golf
participants for 8 long years.
The funds that the Club managed to raise has helped to ease
the burdens of worthy organisations such as Bright Vision
Hospital, Canossaville Children’s Homes, Spastic Children’s
Association of Singapore, The Children’s Aid Society and
SAF Benevolent Fund. This would not have been possible
without the contributions from charitable sponsors and
the generous support of the more than 600 golfers who
registered for the event.
This year, NSRCC will once again continue our efforts to
help the less privileged and host the annual tournament
on the 21 and 22 May this year. This will be the 16th time
the Club is holding the event and we will be counting on
your support and generosity to raise funds for the following
beneficiaries:
1. Alzheimer’s Disease Association
2. Society for the Physically Disabled
3. Down Syndrome Association of Singapore
4. Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation
5. SAF Benevolent Fund
The tournament will be open to public, so gather your family and friends and join us in this worthy cause.
Register at the Golf Reception or call 6540 8500 to find out more.

No Show Fee
Members who booked a golf flight and wish to cancel should provide a notice of 72 hours before the scheduled time of
play, failing which an administrative fee will be levied accordingly for each flight.
No Chipping
On the Green Please!
Every golfer wants to put a green that is smooth and undamaged
to give him the maximum control and enjoyment over his game.
However, there has been an increasing number of divots and damages
spotted on our greens recently. The main contributing factor is the use
of irons on the greens by some golfers. These golfers use an iron, such
as a chipping iron, on the green. This inevitably slices off the top layer
of turf, damaging the green. This action spoils the surface of the green
and definitely spoils the game for the rest of the golfers.
Members are strongly reminded that the use of iron club to chip is
strictly prohibited. This act causes damage to the turf and it takes time
for the greens to heal to its original condition, upsetting the game for
all golfers who play after you as they have to put over that rough patch.
Please only use your putter on the green!
Anyone who causes willful damage to the greens is subject to
disciplinary action. Members have been suspended previously for
damage to the greens.
Just as you do not like putting over a damaged green, other golfers also
do not enjoy facing such unnecessary unpleasantness during their
game. If every golfer is mindful of this and use the proper club while
on the green – everyone can enjoy his round of golf. We would like to
seek the cooperation of all golfers to refrain from the use of iron clubs
to chip on the greens thus keeping our courses in the best possible
condition to ensure all golfers can enjoy a pleasant game of golf.
At the same time, do remember to repair any ball marks you make
when you ball lands on the green. Carry a ball mark repair fork with
you during all games!
If you look closely, in the photos above, you can see the
bare patch left in the greens. A simple 30 second fix at
time of divot saves weeks of grass revitalization.
