Rules of Golf & the Rules of Amateur Status (2012 – 2015)
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
The latest edition of the Rules of Golf booklet is now available for collection at the my golf kaki office! Simply present your valid membership card or quote your NRIC for verification before collection.
Some of the significant changes include:
i) Ball Moving After Address (Rule 18-2b).
A new exception is added which exonerates the player from penalty if their ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that they did not cause the ball to move. For example, if it is a gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position.
ii) Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions (Rule 13-4).
Exception 2 to this Rule is amended to permit a player to smooth sand or soil in a hazard at any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose of caring for the course and Rule 13-2 (improving lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play) is not breached.
iii) Time of Starting (Rule 6-3a).
The rule is amended to provide that the penalty for starting late, but within five minutes of the starting time, is reduced from disqualification to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes at the first hole in stroke play. Previously this penalty reduction could be introduced as a condition of competition.
The most significant change (Rule 18-2b) will see an end to situations like the one witnessed during the final round of 2011’s U.S. Open Championship when Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy was penalized when his ball was moved on the 7th green by the wind after he had addressed it.

Marina Bay Golf Course Turns Five This Year!
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Marina Bay Golf Course turns five this year and to celebrate this significant milestone, my golf kaki, my golf kaki Academy and Marina Bay Golf Course have jointly organized the MBGC 5th Anniversary Golf Challenge.
The event took place yesterday and 124 participants were treated to a variety of fun-filled novelty games, an exclusively configured Hole 18 and a chance to tee off from the new tee boxes at the Canopy.
Marina Bay Golf Course is owned by NCI Golf Pte Ltd. As part of its commitment to ‘Do Good’, NCI Golf donated $100,000 to NTUC ElderCare, a non-profit entity that provides affordable, quality and value-added care for the elderly.
A life-sized cheque, presented by Mr Ng Ser Miang, Chairman of NCI Golf last night, was received by Mr Lim Boon Heng and Ms Lim Sia Hoe, Chairman and General Manager respectively of NTUC ElderCare.
Incidentally, the idea of a public golf course on the Marina Bay reclaimed land area was first mooted by Mr Lim. “We are thankful for his contribution in making Singapore’s first and only 18-hole golf course a reality. Five years on, we have played host to more than 300,000 golfers from all walks of life, and the golf course has gained recognition in the region,” said Mr Ng.
The event turned out to be a joyous celebration of various achievements. Mr Ng announced that Marina Bay Golf Course was recently voted one of the top three golf courses in Asia Pacific for the Best Value for Money Golf Experience in the 2011 Asian Golf Monthly Awards.
He also shared the successful bid by NCI Golf for the Tanglin Public Golf Course and Tennis Courts. The 9-hole golf course will be ideal as a training and mini-competition venue. NCI Golf has plans to develop it as the first Junior Golf Hub in Singapore through the my golf kaki Academy, a unit under NCI Golf.
Participant Mr Goh Chok Sin achieved a rare Hole-in-One in the golf tournament. He won $5,000 worth of green fee vouchers at Marina Bay Golf Course for himself and an additional $20,000 for NTUC ElderCare as pledged by NCI Golf.
In conjunction with its 5th anniversary celebrations, Marina Bay Golf Course has also made its E-booking portal available to the general public for booking of golf games.

Golfing Fun at the Marina Barrage
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
This year's Public Service Sports Carnival took place on 26 November at the Marina Barrage. The event saw members of Civil Service Club and their family members taking part in many fun sporting activities, including mini-golf activities brought to them by my golf kaki, my golf kaki Academy and Singapore Sports Council. The putting station was a huge attraction to kids and adults alike. With each successful putt in one stroke, the participants took home token prizes. For the more adventurous participants, another golf activity station allowed them a chance to take a shot or two and they gained some valuable tips on their golf swings. |

Introducing the Kampong Spirit Initiative
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Dear member,
Greetings from my golf kaki! We are very pleased to inform you about our new initiative designed to give you greater opportunities to organize tournaments and golfing events at your preferred locations, as well as the chance to compete against other members in team based game formats which will appeal to middle and high handicappers as well as highly skilled golfers.
Known as the Kampong Spirit Initiative (or KSI in short), this program strives to revive the competitive spirit that we all felt in our younger days, whether at school or in the neighborhood, where we would form teams or groups to compete against other groups at our favourite games.
What we have done is do split the core membership of my golf kaki members into 8 different groups or “Kampongs”. There are 2 kampongs comprised entirely of ladies, 2 kampongs of senior (above 55) men and 4 kampongs of men under the age of 55. Each Kampong will have a committee comprised of members who have volunteered to help facilitate this initiative. A separate email will be sent to you from the Kampong’s official email providing you with the details of the Kampong that you have been assigned to as well as the contact details of your Kampong’s committee. There is also a link below for you to check which Kampong you have been assigned to.
There will be inter-Kampong games organized quarterly and each Kampong will send 4 teams of 4 golfers to participate in the team format games. In addition, Kampongs will also be awarded points based on how active they are in organizing games and how many Kampong members take part in my golf kaki activities.
At the end of the year, points will be tallied and the winning Kampong will receive the inaugural KSI Trophy as well as a host of prizes to be distributed among members of the Kampong.
As mentioned, the KSI is also designed to assist members in organizing their own golf events. Each Kampong will be supported administratively by the my golf kaki team for event organization. This support extends to price negotiation, fee collection and potentially prize sponsorship. my golf kaki will continue to organize monthly tournaments, however, this gives our members a chance to arrange their own games based on preferred locations and timings. Full details on how you can organize your own events will be provided in the email from your assigned kampong.
As Kampongs are essentially social networks, we have decided to use the functionality of Facebook groups to support our initiative. All members are encouraged to start Facebook accounts and join their respective Kampong groups online.
A comprehensive guide to starting a Facebook account and joining your Kampong is provided in the link below.
