Not forgetting the ladies of the Library team in their effort to make sure that everything is in order for Members to enjoy the comfort of this brand new facility.

Fellow Members

I’ve been noticing recently, in the news media, an increased coverage on the topic of artificial intelligence (or AI for short). I thought, perhaps, I could share some thoughts on it as well.

It has been said that the year of 2016 is the year of AI. And frankly, it is pretty hard to ignore all the hype about it. Recent significant advances in AI has led to several key milestone accomplishments such as the recent public five-game Go "ROBOTS WILL NEVER match between AlphaGo (an AI-based Go playing software developed by Google DeepMind) and Lee Sedol (an 18-time REPLACE THE WARM world champion in Go). AlphaGo ended up winning 4 out of the 5 matches. FRIENDLY FACE AND THE If you own a smartphone, you can already enjoy the benefits PERSONALISED SERVICE of AI.

THE TANGLIN CLUB PAGE 16 MAYURA WAGYU BEEF SPECIAL Month of August Tavern, Fireplace & Terrace

CHAR-GRILLED MAYURA STATION WAGYU RIBEYE 300G Marbling: 8-9 buttery mashed potato, lightly grilled romaine, port wine sauce $108

Often described as luxury quality beef, Mayura offers an unrivalled complexity whilst maintaining great structure and balance. The cows are grain-fed in excess of 600 days with a focus on slow growth to produce beef with very fine texture, to give the beef a very tender and silky mouthfeel. Although grain-fed for 600 days, a unique grain-ration fed to the cattle for the last 120 days includes chocolate and other well-guarded ingredients to give the beef a unique and distinguishable flavour that is sweet, buttery and robust. The high quality fatty acid profile in Mayura ensures a very low melting point temperature and makes sure the marbling is not overpowering but provides a burst of juiciness on your first bite.

THE INDEFATIGABLE SPIRIT OF OUR LADY LAWN BOWLERS

May was a full schedule month for our Bowlers. The Singles Tournament was scheduled concurrently with the Doubles Tournament.

The Singles started with a thunderous bang! On the cool Sunday afternoon of 15 May, while some 12 Bowlers were having their friendlies, our two lady veteran Bowlers Pecktee and Fatema decided on their Singles battle.

It started well, with a cool breeze waffling through our Lawn Bowls Green, but a looming storm soon appeared from the southeast. After just 8 ends, the much dreaded tropical storm descended on us with a vengeance, and deluged our lawn.

While the mostly male Social Bowlers ran for cover, our 2 indomitable ladies battled on in the flooded lawn so did their Marker Devi Hodgkinson. Cheers to our ladies for their tenacious effort! Truly the undying spirit of Lawn Bowls!

Their game made it to the last point, when the lightning warning sounded and officially ended all play. Ling Ten Ing Lawn Bowls Committee Member

The Tanglin Choir with Choir Master Albert Tay

Have you ever noticed how good you feel after singing along to your favourite song on the radio or singing out loudly in the shower? Singing is in our genes and in human nature. That urge to break into a song or to hear others sing is an inherent part of us. But many of us choose not to sing as we feel we lack musical ability. Although, we have all, at some point of time in our lives must have sung – as children in school assemblies, instinctively along to the radio in the car, or hummed or whistled to a tune.

Singing acts as a conduit to mindfulness, by keeping us completely focused on the present and the melody and the emotions that it evokes. If you have ever sung (even discreetly), you should seriously consider taking this raw vocal skill to new heights.

And a good way to get started is to join a group or a choir. Being part of a chorus provides a support system, and a chance to sing different Performing at the Tea Room genres, meet people who share similar interest, and perform.

On 19 August, the Tanglin Choir will perform together with child prodigy Mikey and Bertrand in the Churchill Room. 11-year-old Mikey has performed at various venues including the Carnegie Hall where he won 1st prize for the American Protégé Competition. Bernard, also a top winner of the American Protégé Competition and a full scholarship holder at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, has performed with Enjoying Dinner at Tang Yun Selfie Time! Singapore’s top musicians.

To join the Tanglin Choir, no experience is necessary and you don’t need to be able to read music. We are an audition-free choir and complete beginners are welcome. Join us for a free session on any Wednesday evening from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at the Theatrette.

DARTS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2016

The Darts Annual General Meeting was held on 11 June 2016. Members enjoyed a delicious Chinese Dinner in the newly refurbished Raffles Room. It was an evening filled with fine dining, wine accompanied by graceful dancing, songs and music. Thank you MC Cheong for serenading the diners with the song ‘My Way’ popularised by Frank Sinatra.

MC Cheong remained as the unopposed Convener for the year 2016. He introduced the new Committee Members with much enthusiasm. They are Lilian Lee, Nancy Chua, Eunice Goh, Nancy Ee, Sepalika Kumarasinghe, David Goh, William Ee and Fong Keng Yeow. The Darts Section is immensely delighted to have enthusiastic, harmonious Members in the Committee.

The Convener also designated relevant positions to each Member of the Committee, to ensure the smooth, effective functioning of the activities of the Section. The Treasurer Fong Keng Yeow then, presented the Financial Report for the year 2016. He went through the details of the Section Fund, Club Match Subsidy Fund, and Upcoming Events.

The lucky draws attributed to the fun and enjoyment of the night and most of the Members walked away happily with bottles of wine and gifts.

Finally, I would like to thank Members of our Committee and the Sports and Recreation Staff, Cielito Visitacion and James Soh, for making the event so meaningful and rewarding.

THE TANZA

In keeping with the Sub-Committee's initiative of choosing different days of the week and different times to play, 20 players, including 14 men and 6 lady golfers, in teams of two, started at 7.49am on Tuesday, 7 June at Orchid Country Club to try and win back The Tanza. This trophy is played for between The Tanglin Club and The Australia New Zealand Association (ANZA).

The format for the event was Better Ball Matchplay, and ten matches were played on a glorious morning. ANZA, as hosts, had chosen Orchid as most of their players have a regular weekly round at the course. Playing conditions were excellent as the ANZA players used their local knowledge to full advantage, with four of their players in different flights scoring rounds which would have been the equivalent of net 64 had it been a stroke play event.

Given the strength of the opposition, it was with great credit that our Convenor David White with Amos Manasseh, Philip Rossiter and Paul D'Souza managed victories in their matches. Sadly the other 8 matches went to ANZA who gets to keep the trophy for another year.

Despite the loss, all the matches were played in the best spirit of golf. A delicious lunch was served after the game, offering the opportunity to reflect on the morning's events and share a beer with a most hospitable ANZA team.

FRIENDLY COMPETITION: SINGAPORE RECREATION CLUB & THE TANGLIN CLUB

Competitions are meant for us to improve our game and to pit our skill against others. This was certainly the case at our Ten-Pin Bowling Section’s friendly competition with the bowlers at Singapore Recreation Club (SRC) on Tuesday, 5 July 2016.

The SRC’s location being right in the heart of town made it easy for the majority of us to get there though MC who, as usual, ran a car- pick up from the Club. Altogether, eight bowlers represented our Club: MC Cheong, Nancy Chua, Pamela Daswani, Akiko Kristiansen, Mylinh, Andrew Pua, Frederick Francis, Lee Tian Ahn, Josephine Chia and Magdalene Apps.

The bowlers at SRC greeted us very warmly and their Convenor, Ms Tang Whai Yih, thanked our Club graciously for hosting the buffet dinner. Our hosts were very professional, friendly, helpful and truly inspiring. Several of them had their top scores engraved on the boards in the reception area of the bowling alley! So we knew we were in for a stiff competition. And yet, they were not arrogant and gave us good tips.

The fact that they have their own bowling alley and thus are able to practise regularly showed when the games started as they were elegant in their technique. Nonetheless, our team gave a good fight, especially Members like Pamela and Tian Ahn who were our top scorers in the Ladies’ and Men’s groups respectively.

It was inevitable that the SRC bowlers would win the competition. Their top scorer, Vincent Yuan, easily turned in a neat total points of 762 in the Men’s section for the four games, whilst Grace Mah won the Ladies’ section with 654 points. Nevertheless, we all had a lot of fun as the atmosphere was so convivial. Before we left, Whai Yih suggested that we meet again for a game in October. That just goes to show how much they enjoyed having us bowl with them!
