Club should accept only national servicemen
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
THE National Service Resort & Country Club (NSRCC) was set up by the Ministry of Defence to provide premier country club facilities to national servicemen who have served the nation.
So I was surprised when I learnt a few years back that the club is not exclusively for national servicemen; it also allows organisations to be corporate members.
The club must stick to the principle of allowing only national servicemen to be members. There are many commercial clubs in Singapore and there are no restrictions on organisations taking up corporate memberships at these clubs.
Opening up corporate membership means NSRCC members may not be able to enjoy the facilities to the full extent, and is certainly not aligned with the club's mission of providing premier facilities to national servicemen in recognition of their contributions.
National servicemen join the club to socialise and make use of the facilities.
It is already difficult for members to book a golfing slot and the situation is made worse by corporate members taking up precious slots during weekends. For the last few weeks, I noticed early prime-time slots on Sundays were reserved and blocked for corporate members.
Could the club's committee comment on how many corporate members there are and why precious weekend golfing slots are reserved for them?
