The Editor Speaks
Dear Members
Met the God of Fortune doing his “wealth distribution” rounds when you visited the Club during Chinese
New Year (CNY)? Lucky you! This and a lion dance capped CNY celebrations at NSRCC which started
on Feb 1 with a lunch hosted by Club President, LG Melvyn Ong, for General Committee members and
Management Staff of NSRCC.
On a separate occasion, LG Ong was given a tour of the site of the new driving range that is under
construction and briefed on the progress of this much anticipated facility which already has a commanding
presence within the club premises and even in the vicinity of Changi Coast Road!
Golf and Bowling are two of the most popular sports in NSRCC, and we feature in this issue some
personalities who personify the spirit of these sports. There is avid golfer Timothy Quah who doggedly
continues to play the game he loves after overcoming a serious health issue. And we have two talented
youth bowlers Hazel Tan and Ashley Zulkifly Minyi who went on a winning spree of tournaments in
Singapore and Malaysia recently.
Golfers may wish to take note of the illustrated article on course marking changes at Changi and Kranji
which will affect play. They include OB markers, drop zones and penalty areas. Do have a read to prepare
yourselves before going for your next round of golf.
And since we are on the subject of getting ready, do look out for the NSRCC Charity Golf 2019 which falls
on May 4-5 this year. The proceeds will be donated to organisations such as Assisi Hospice, Villa Francis
Home for the Aged, AWWA and Food from the Heart. This signature charity event organised by NSRCC
in support of worthy causes has received tremendous support from members over many years and your
support again this year will definitely be appreciated.
Have fun at the Club!
Regards,
Chua Swee Kiat

T
he saying, “when the going gets tough, the tough get
going”, perfectly describes Mr Timothy Quah who
has been a member of NSRCC for the past 15 years.
Mr Quah who has been an avid golfer for 25 years, faced
one of the darkest moments of his life when he was
diagnosed with an abnormal heart rhythm. It was during
a game of golf back in 2004, when one of his flight mates
noticed he was out of breath, and advised him to get
medically checked.

Removal of Drop Zone at NSRCC Changi Hole #5
There has been further members’ feedback
regarding disputes caused by the presence of a
drop zone on Hole #5 at NSRCC Changi despite a
previous Golf 101 article explaining how it should
be used in the spirit of the game.
For context, the previous Golf 101 surmised that
whilst the rules technically allowed such use,
the drop zone should not be used to gain an
inequitable advantage by using the drop zone if a
ball entered the penalty area further from the hole
than the location of the drop zone.
The article also tabled a review of Local Rules once the
new 2019 Rules of Golf were in place. The new 2019
Rules of Golf and the associated model Local Rules
are now in place, but after much research, they do not
envisage such scenarios where players gain inequitable
advantages (cause players are not supposed to).
One option is to craft a somewhat complicated set of
Local Rules governing when that drop zone can be used
(as opposed to golfers playing by the spirit of the game).
The more elegant option would be to remove the drop
zone altogether. With the new 2019 Rules, it becomes
easier for a player to determine the Relief Area for
dropping, and dropping the ball from knee height allows
players a bit more control over the lie their ball drops into.
Thus, if a player’s ball enters the Yellow Staked Penalty
Area fronting the Putting Green on Hole 5 now, the player
should take Relief under Rule 17.1.
