MESSAGE
Dear Members,
It was an early morning start but that did not deter the
Ladies Tennis Sub-Committee (LTSC) from putting on a warm
and fun welcome for all participants at the recent Inter-Club
tournament held on the grass courts at RBSC on Saturday,
27th February 2016. The tournament proper got underway
at 8.30 am and the tennis was of a high quality and very
competitive. It was particularly pleasing to see past chairwomen
of the LTSC lending their support too. Their previous efforts in
getting ladies tennis to the current levels at both Clubs were
duly noted and honoured. Anyone reading Thai language
newspapers and magazines in the weeks following the event
could not have failed to notice the extraordinary amount of
positive press coverage that the PR folk on the LTSC were able
to squeeze out of various editors! Well done to all concerned
and a special mention to Khun Pamornthip Sripaisal, current
LTSC chairwoman, and tournament director Khun Rittee
Putipanpong for doing RBSC proud.
On Thursday, 7th April 2016 the GC presided over the
annual recognition party for those who have reached 40
years of RBSC membership this year. A very stylish plaque
was presented to each of the awardees as a memento of their
milestone and there were more than a few comments along
the lines of how fast time flies and how many great memories
people had of times at the Club.
One of those receiving their 40 years membership memento
was Khun Yossagorn Burakamkovit who reminded me of the
many soccer matches we enjoyed together (often on opposing
sides) in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He kindly (I think)
told me about the RBSC over 55s team and asked if I would
like to join a forthcoming match. Not wanting to seem as if I
were not up for a sporting challenge I accepted straight away.
At the time of writing I am having severe second thoughts but
feel that I cant back out having already said yes. The match will
have taken place by the time this issue of RBSC magazine is
published, so I fully expect to be hobbling around for at least the
first week of May. Thats if I am lucky!

PERSPECTIVE
Dear Members,
The great thing about a Club like ours is the diversity
of the Members. This was brought home to me the other
night when I was privileged to attend a special gathering of
Members who, between them, enjoyed a vast number of
years of Club experience. People at the event had seen the
Club in the backdrop of world history come and go, world
events I only remember from my parents and nascent
childhood. And yet, they were united in one common
view the Sports Club was always there, the place theyd
always met each week, come what may. The presentation
ceremony of special mementos for those who have
been members for 40+ years was a wonderful night.
On the evening of Thursday, 7th April 2016, nostalgia
was in the air, but also a positive vibe for the future, with
grandchildren (also Members) playing their part.
As a Club we always look to help our local communities.
Hence as a part of the Charity Committees latest drive,
we are organizing the 3rd Medical Assistance Services
initiative in late May. The plan is to take a team of doctors,
medical professionals, and volunteers to a needy area of
Kanchanaburi Province. To that end, we invite those of you
with medical qualifications doctors, nurses, and surgeons
and anyone else who would like to help with admin on
the day, to contact the Project and Events department to
confirm your participation. You can call 02-652-5000
ext. 150-154 for enquires and more information.
The recent Special Event put on by the Entertainment
Committee was The Glass Replay by Jiraphan
Ansvananda and Friends. I cant remember such a
wonderful night of live music. Well over 100 Members and
their guests gathered at the RBSC Polo Clubs Rajkreetha
Hall in early April for the evening and they were rewarded
with wonderful live entertainment.

22 SPORTS ROUND-UP
Courting Success
The immaculate RBSC grass tennis courts were the venue for 29th
Ladies Inter Club Team Tennis Tournament played on Saturday, 27th
February 2016. This is the third time that the Club has hosted the
prestigious tournament since its inception and almost 200 attendees
including the RBSC lady aces and players from eight Bangkok clubs and
their supporters basked in glorious sunshine. The visiting teams
comprised Bangkok International Group [BIG], British Club, Japanese
Association, Rodfai Team, Silom A, Silom B, and the RBSC Polo Club.
A cheerful spirit of camaraderie filled the early morning air with players
and organizers donning prerequisite crisp white outfits and cozying up
around a light breakfast. At 8am, MC Tharntip Cowie welcomed the
competing teams on court, with 3-14 year old youth players
accompanied by their proud parents being a highlight during the
opening ceremonies. These were presided over by RBSC Chairman Mr.
Nigel Oakins, who gave an opening speech and then accompanied by
Khun Pairoh Tuchinda, the first LTSC chairwoman, Khun Pamornthip
Sripaisal, current LTSC chairwoman, and Khun Chin
Kampanatsanyakorn, chairman of the Tennis Committee cut the
ribbon to get the tournament underway.
Taking part were a number of former national team players who ensured
that the standard of play was very high. At the end of the day it was the
teams of Silom A and Rodfai who took first and second place
respectively. The RBSC team was a very creditable third, all the while
demonstrating the team spirit for which the Ladies Tennis Sub
Committee and its players and fans are known. The tournaments
smooth progress from start to finish was a testament to the
professionalism of tournament director Khun Rittee Putipanpong, the
team coaches, and the Tennis Section staff.

visitors total of 103 runs. In the second 35-overs rubber played on the Sunday,
the visitors proved too strong for the hosts, posting 221 runs in their innings

fair result and it was a great weekend of cricket and camaraderie.

Swimmers On
Your Marks
The Thailand Masters Swimming Championship 2016 was
held on Sunday, 6th March 2016 at Rajamangala National
Stadium, Hua Mak. Participants ranged in age from
youngsters to oldies, which shows that swimming is
obviously not age restrictive and anyone can enjoy the sport.
Swimming benefits not only the body and mind, but also the
soul and allows your whole body to exercise, improving
cardiovascular, conditioning muscle strength and
endurance, and also increase body flexibility all at the same
time. RBSC Polo Club (including Khun Pruthigrai
Kraipipadh from RBSC) thanks everyone who joined this
super event as the Polo Team and we hope to see more of
you at the next swimming event.

Over this past month the weather has been exceptionally dry and
hot and yet we have been able to carry out our scheduled
maintenance programme, so the course has remained in good
condition. However, it will soon be necessary to up the maintenance of
fairways and greens in anticipation of the forthcoming rainy season.
This is important because it ensures that course playing conditions
remain good throughout the rest of the year. Hence please bear with
us if there are minor disruptions on certain holes in the coming weeks.
We hope the work will be carried out quickly and without too much
inconvenience to players.
On behalf of the Golf Committee, I would like to congratulate 2016
Team Championship winners Dr. Suriya Chakkaphak and Khun Sathit
Sarathulsingh for their outstanding effort in the competition last month.
In addition, I would like to congratulate the International Team,
captained by Mr. Suvir Sachdev, for winning the long-standing Rama
VII Trophy this year.
Finally, we have a busy couple of months coming up in terms of
tournament action and the Golf Committee invites Section members
to participate in the upcoming Navy Invitational, H.E. Nakasone
Trophy, Hongladarom Cup, and Mixed-Team Competition. We also
ask for your support for the away Interport matches against SICC in
July and HKGC later in the year.

If the shoulders are level at the top of

As you start the downswing, the
right shoulder should drop down
slightly.
The Shoulders
The shoulders are what I call the primary power source.
When putting, for example, the shoulders are the only thing
that moves, certainly not the wrists. The shoulders are also
highly influential on where your ball goes.
At address, you want your shoulders to be square to the
target line (pic 1). I see many average golfers whose shoulders
are too open to the left (pic2). This leads to an outside to
inside swing path, which usually results in a slice.
When making a backswing, you want make a full 90
shoulder turn. The left shoulder will be slightly lower than the

Rib and loin cuts dominate on the
RBSC menu throughout May with a
selection of succulent beef, pork, and
lamb offerings guaranteed to satisfy a
hearty appetite. Highlights include a
starter of smoked pork loin salad
served with a refreshing pineapple
sauce.
Main courses take in Asia with a dish
of delicious jerked spiced Kurobuta
pork and pimento served with jacket
potato and mixed grilled vegetables.
Rich and tender is pot-roasted
Australian beef short rib. Slowcooked and rich in flavour, it is served
with mixed grilled vegetables. As an
alternative, try traditional BBQ pork
spare rib served with pineapple
coleslaw, corn on the cob, and fries.
Star of the show is undoubtedly
grilled Australian lamb chop and
bacon with avocado mint (2 chops).
The chops are cooked wrapped
snugly in a blanket of bacon to retain
all the great flavours of the grill and
the dish is given a lift with the clean
freshness of avocado and mint. It is
served with beans, grilled mushrooms
and potato tots.
Finish off with a cup of coffee and
one of the scrumptious Desserts of
the Month; a beautifully light green
tea mousse, or a slice of sweet and
aromatic lychee cake.

The RBSC Polo Club Management kindly reminds Members who wish to smoke within the Clubs environs
to do so only at the designated smoking room. This is located at the Verandah adjacent to the Air Conditioned Bar.
Your cooperation is appreciated. Furthermore, as the text below from www.healthline.com shows, why not quit the
habit entirely. Youll be glad you did.
Central
Nervous System
One of the ingredients in tobacco is a moodaltering drug called nicotine. Nicotine reaches
your brain in mere seconds. Its a central
nervous system stimulant, so it makes you
feel more energized for a little while. As that
effect subsides, you feel tired and crave more.
Nicotine is habit forming. Smoking increases
risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, and
poor eyesight. It can also weaken your sense of
taste and sense of smell, so food may become
less enjoyable.
Respiratory
System
When you inhale smoke, youre taking in
substances that can damage your lungs. Over
time, your lungs lose their ability to filter harmful
chemicals. Coughing cant clear out the toxins
sufficiently, so these toxins get trapped in the
lungs. Smokers have a higher risk of respiratory
infections, colds, and flu. In a condition called
emphysema, the air sacs in your lungs are
destroyed. In chronic bronchitis, the lining
of the tubes of the lungs becomes inflamed.
Over time, smokers are at increased risk of
developing these forms of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term
smokers are also at increased risk of lung
cancer. Children whose parents smoke are
more prone to coughing, wheezing, and asthma
attacks than children whose parents dont.t
RBSC MAGAZINE
Cardiovascular
System
Smoking damages your entire cardiovascular
system. When nicotine hits your body, it gives
your blood sugar a boost. After a short time,
youre left feeling tired and craving more.
Nicotine causes blood vessels to tighten, which
restricts the flow of blood (peripheral artery
disease). Smoking lowers good cholesterol
levels and raises blood pressure, which can
result in stretching of the arteries and a buildup
of bad cholesterol (atherosclerosis). Smoking
raises the risk of forming blood clots. In the
long term, smokers are at greater risk of
blood cancer (leukemia). Theres a risk to
nonsmokers, too. Breathing secondhand smoke
has an immediate effect on the cardiovascular
system, increasing the risk of stroke, heart
attack, and coronary heart disease.
Digestive System
Smokers are at great risk of developing
oral problems. Tobacco use can cause
gum inflammation (gingivitis) or infection
(periodontitis). These problems can lead
to tooth decay, tooth loss, and bad breath.
Smoking also increases risk of cancer of
the mouth, throat, larynx, and esophagus.
Smokers have higher rates of kidney cancer
and pancreatic cancer. Even cigar smokers
who dont inhale are at increased risk of mouth
cancer. Smoking also depresses appetite, so
you may not be getting all the nutrients your
body needs.
Sexuality and
Reproductive
System
Restricted blood flow can affect a mans
ability to get an erection. Both men and
women who smoke may have difficulty
achieving orgasm and are at higher risk of
infertility. Women who smoke may experience
menopause at an earlier age than nonsmoking
women. Smoking increases a womans risk of
cervical cancer. Babies born to mothers who
smoke while pregnant are at greater risk of
low birth weight, birth defects, and sudden
infant death syndrome (SIDS). Newborns who
breathe secondhand smoke suffer more ear
infections and asthma attacks.the nutrients your
body needs.
