Updating your email address with SSGS

Dear members,

From our records, we have the email addresses of about 200 out of over 600 members. In the past we have been dependent on Sing Post for our communications.

Some of the new features from our new website service, will benefit our members with email addresses.  They are email news bulletins; email events promotions, sign ups and confirmations; email membership notices, meetings, dues and accounts.

Please send the office an email from your email address, with your name and  if possible your membership number. We will handle the rest. ssgs1968@gmail.com

We will of course  continue to use the Sing Post as always for those members who need it.

Thank you.

VP Kenneth Koh.
Webmaster.

Message from Captain

Message from the Captain

To My Fellow Golfers

First off, I would like to thank Past-Captain Raymond Tan for his assiduous efforts over the past years to guide the golfing activities of the Society. Having worked together closely with him for over two years, in many ways, I am familiar with the programmes we have followed and have used these as a basis for our forward plans for the year.

 For this calendar year wef January 2011, we already had two overseas trips ( Thailand and Malaysia) and  five  monthly medals to- date. For the overseas trip, it was a learning experience for me as I tried to inject a little more fun and a little less early-wake up time into the mix. I think its safe to say that many enjoyed the Thai trip which saw playing in the ancient city of Ayuthaya and Bangkok with many wonderful meals thrown in, For Malaysia, we decided to start the trip in Penang and then worked our way down the peninsular stopping in Ipoh, Kl and Malacca for golf games. I have my ideas how the trip can be improved in future but I always say nothing ventured nothing gained!

In July, our team of 34 players will head to the Philippines for the 28^th Asean Senior Amateur Golf Championship which will be played on two courses adjacent to the old US Air Base located in Clark. Some of us have already played on the courses so there is an element of home-ground advantage existing! After Clark, we will head south to Manila for one or two additional games while staying at Crowne Plaza Hotel located adjacent to the gigantic Mega Mall

I have asked our travel advisors to look into one more overseas trip-at present, the destination

hasn’t  been decided but there has been interest in Perth , Australia and also China. This will be in the third or fourth quarter of this year. Watch this page!

Finally, our monthly medals and other important events will proceed as normal under the due care of our office manager, Patrick Kat and his assistant Nancy.

Happy Golfing
