5 resort 3 Editor Tan Sze Wah theeditorspeaks Dear Members, Our annual golf tournament, Captain s Cup was held on 24 September and all of us had a good time, especially for one participant, Mr Alvin Lim, who scored a Hole in One! Congratulations! We thank Outdoor Products for sponsoring goody bags for all the participants, as well as other sponsors for the prizes during the event. We organised a Mid-Autumn Celebration where 70 members and their children enjoyed themselves carrying lanterns around our golf course, followed by eating pomelos and mooncakes. Our first Golftoberfest event, a combination of golf game and Oktoberfest dinner was a sold out event. Check out the photos and reports inside. In this issue, we have a feature on our youth bowler, Isabelle Lee, who is now in USA to further her studies and training, after 8 years of representing the club successfully. We wish her all the best and we look forward to see her back at NSRCC in the future! Also, in this edition of Greenside Matters, we cover the basics of proper golf attire. How you dress for the course, is part of the decorum of the game. We do hope that these pointers help you for your next round of golf. Our latest nightery, Club Viola opened with much fanfare, and members can look forward to their promotions. If you plan to drive up north during the year-end holidays, do read up on our affiliated clubs special on Malaysia. We also have our regular articles on golf improvement techniques and golf rules. Have a good read and enjoy your holidays! See you soon, Sze Wah Correction: In our September/October issue, Mr Yong Chee Leong s name was misspelt under the Hole-in-One Achievers list. We sincerely apologise for the error.

6 resort 4 seen&heard The Beautiful Coincidence of Isabelle Lee Isabelle Lee in action at the 20th National School Championship H er bowling journey began in 2008 at NSRCC, when Isabelle Lee Xin Yu was only 12 years old. In just eight years, Isabelle has achieved more than 40 wins. Interestingly, her participation in bowling came as a coincidence. Her parents were looking for a sport to boost Isabelle s confidence. One day, when the Lee family was walking around NSRCC, Isabelle s brother suggested to try the bowling alley. That eventful visit ignited Isabelle s passion for bowling. Never did I know that once I started bowling, I would never ever leave the sport till today, says Isabelle. During her first participation in a bowling championship, Isabelle emerged first runner up at the tender age of 12. The following year, she clinched the Champion title for women s category at the 40th Singapore National Bowling Championship. Isabelle s winning formula: 3P (Patience + Perseverance + Practice) Without any prior experience or family background in bowling, what could possibly be Isabelle s secret formula to winning? Isabelle says: It was more on patience and perseverance in doing the drills to better my game. And of course, regular practice to help improve my scores and accuracy. Isabelle Lee with her very supportive family at the 14th MILO International Junior All Stars Bowling Championship helped me through my games, giving me physical support during our tournaments. NSRCC has also helped to expose me to more competitions. For youths who are interested in bowling but still unsure, Isabelle says: Do not be afraid to roll the first ball down the lane. The journey may be tough, but do not give up. Instead, focus on pursuing what you want. No matter how difficult the process, the outcome will be fruitful as long as you put in your best. Those are certainly very wise words of advice from Isabelle Lee, the coincidental bowler who went on to create a name for herself in the game. Isabelle receiving her champion trophy for Singles category at the 22nd National School Tenpin Championship Isabelle adds that she practiced to have an open mind during training so that she can better adapt to changes and opinions. However during competitions, she tends to be more focused. Isabelle is currently in the United States to further her studies but that doesn t put a stop to her bowling journey. In fact, Isabelle will be representing her school for their college league! Reminiscing her involvement with the NSRCC Bowling Youth Team, Isabelle says: The coaches and Aunty Florence always Isabelle Lee receiving her prize as the 2nd runner-up for Women s Graded category at the 47th Singapore International Open 2014.

12 resort 10 onpar Golf Fitness for You By Bernie Tan, Certified Instructor, Mizuno Golf School I n today s golf scene, golf fitness may not be well known among amateur golfers. When you step foot into a range, you will see that it s filled with golfers of different ages and varying expertise levels. However if you step into a gym, there won t be many golfers working on golf-specific exercises for their game. At the range, many of them would be trying to work on their swing, yet sometimes it s so easy to not realize that our possible physical limitations would play a part in habits that we form in our golf swing. Having said that, it is quite the opposite on tour, where most of the touring golf professionals have understood the importance of fitness and spend a fair amount in the gym on golf-specific exercises. For a long time, fitness in golf was not appreciated until Tiger Woods dominated the golfing scene and proved that fitness changed him. Golf fitness is one of the most effective ways to build consistency in the golf game. It creates awareness in our body and prevents injuries, while helping golfers to develop strength, a strong core, balanced body and endurance. Working out on golf-specific exercises will build a strong powerful swing and helps a golfer to increase club head speed, which would lead to longer distance in their game. Golf fitness is beneficial for competitions as it helps golfers and touring professionals to fight the hot sun, and really keep a strong mind through four days of competition and practice round. Fitness helps to gain longer endurance in the body and mind, and produces better results. Fitness in golf also helps to bring more awareness in injury prevention and points out physical limitations that could also be caused from injuries. It has definitely created a possibility for average golfers to further improve their game and to get rid of bad habits. It highlights past injuries, limitations and prescribes exercises that will help build a solid swing. It also leads to better golf performance, strength and body conditioning. There are so many benefits with golf fitness. Performance is often determined by the last remaining holes. Many golfers would get exhausted through the last few holes and golf fitness helps a golfer to build stamina and endurance mentally and physically. It may be an extra visit to the gym, or a few extra things to work on, but it makes a big difference when it is taken into consideration and not ignored. Fitness produces great results in golf. Golf fitness today will definitely give you a heads up as you work to improve your game and performance. Golf fitness has now become a huge factor in identifying an average player and a tour player. The writer when she was an assistant coach during a junior golf class. Mizuno Golf School at NSRCC Changi conducts a weekly MGS specialty Clinic: Fix your Body & Fix your Slice. It includes a FlightScope analysis along with a functional movement screen that would give you a good understanding to how the body and swing connects and how your body is performing in the swing.

15 onpar GOLF resort 13 Golf contributor Brian Tan is a member of the Greens Committee, and oversees Rules and Tournaments at NSRCC. When he s not busy officiating as a Rules Official, he can be found losing balls in NSRCC s water hazards. Finding The Nearest Point of Relief W e have recently received plenty of questions, usually centered around disputes between players, about how to take relief from immovable obstructions. There is a common misconception that when one s stance or swing suffers interference with an immovable obstruction like a buggy path, one just picks up the ball and drops it back on the fairway side. The nearest point of relief is not the nicest point of relief. The correct procedure is to simulate the stance and direction of play with the intended club if the obstruction was not there. Then find the nearest point not nearer the hole where the ball could lie taking full relief from the obstruction. In the image, the ball lies on the right side of the buggy path at A. The distance from A to B is clearly less than the distance from A to C. A right handed player s nearest point of relief is actually right behind the tree. That is not a favourable outcome as dropping 1 club length from behind the tree still suffers interference from the tree, but it is what the rules stipulate. Since that is the case, the player may choose to play the ball as it lies, take the free drop on the right side of the tree and hope for a favourable bounce, or under penalty of 1 stroke, declare the ball unplayable, and receive a 2 club relief, which will allow a drop near C.
