CLUB NEWS
Another new feature is tips on how to play some of the 36 holes in Raffles Country Club. In this newsletter, we feature the tricky Hole 18 on the Palm course. Our tips are derived from a consensus of a few regular golfers at RCC. Your feedback on the tips provided are welcome, especially if you have found a better way to play any particular hole we are featuring. Next, because our Club turned 20 last year, we feel it’s an opportune time to do some reminiscing. We kick off our Reminisces feature briefly looking at the early days of the Club, when the land was barren and the hills around SAFTI Military Institute completely dominated the landscape. We hope that some of you will be compelled to share your reminiscences with us in the months to come and also provide us with some old photographs, if possible, to remind everyone of days gone by.
To end, we would like to stress that our publication belongs to every member of the club and you have a say in what goes into the newsletter and what doesn’t. If you have reservations about some of our new features, please let us know. We would welcome new ideas for features. You can approach any of the members from the Corporate and
Communications Sub-Committee with your feedback or email us. The success of our newsletter depends on you. We hope you will engage with us as we head down this new path. Thanks, The members of the Publications Committee

We feel that our reciprocal clubs deserve a re-airing and we are starting our reviews of these golf clubs with Meru Valley Golf & Country Club in Ipoh. We don’t expect many of you have played there and we hope that this review gives you food for thought about going there to play. Finally, we are starting a Classified section this month for members to buy, sell or barter their golfing goods. We introduce this service in this newsletter and hope there is interest amongst our members. Please note that the requests for entries into the Classified section can only be made by members. But we would welcome entries by members on non-members’ behalf. You can send your entries via email to: classified@rcc.org.sg.
