September has always been a busy month for inter club golfing activities. We played away in Singapore Island Country Club and at home, against KGNS including a friendly match with a group from Huntingdale Golf Club.

In our inter club game with Singapore Island Country Club, we presented them with a gift of a young mahogany sapling from our own mahogany trees with the message that the deep rooted and lush mahogany tree noted for its longevity and hardwood symbolises the friendship between our clubs. The sapling was planted in a beautiful and choice location between the 9th green and 10th tee of the New Course - Island location.

The issue of Members' children who missed the boat is being addressed and as expected, overwhelming response to the limited places. A balloting exercise will be carried out to pick the successful applicants.

Reconstruction and re-turfing of the 6th hole green Old Course has started with a budget of RM50,000, inclusive of the course designer's fees. This green is expected to be completed and playable in late January to mid February 2004 and will be of similar quality to that of the practice green next to our Club's terrace.

Construction works on the golf academy and toilet facilities within the tennis pavilion have also begun and are scheduled to be completed in December 2003 and January 2004 respectively.

Our Club successfully organised its first Halloween party with 70 children turning up for the party. The Social and Entertainment Sub-Committee together with management did an excellent job decorating and creating the right ambience. Some members of the staff volunteered and dressed up as ghosts to create the atmosphere for the party.

The fun and enjoyment had by the children and parents will certainly inspire the Social and Entertainment Sub-Committee to organise more functions that will bring Members and their children together to enjoy the facilities of our Club.
