Welcoming our New Club Captain,
Mr Winston Toh
By Sheena Anne-Marie, Senior Executive (Corporate Communications)
We extend a warm welcome to BG (Ret) Mr Winston Toh who took
over from Mr Tan Kah Han as our new Club Captain from 1 July
2020.
Mr Toh is currently the Managing Director of
Tower Transit Singapore. Some of his previous
appointments include being the Chief Marketing
Officer in Singapore Technology Engineering Land
Systems, Deputy CEO at the Workforce Development
Agency (Now known as Skills Future and Workforce
Singapore), General Manager in ST Electronics
e-Services Pte Ltd. In the Singapore Armed Forces,
Mr Toh was a Guards Officer and a SAF regular for
27 Years and continued another 10 years as ORNS
/ Volunteer until his retirement in 2017. He is also
currently the President of the Singapore Armed
Forces Veterans League.
Mr Toh describes himself as being more of a social
golfer. He says “ I still have not achieved a holein-one
even though I’ve been golfing for about 24
years. I enjoy golf for the challenges it brings and the
comradeship of fellow golfers.”
He goes on to say that it is a game which shapes
his character and discipline. It is a game that will
probably take him a life time to perfect. “Someone
once told me that golf stands for Go On Learning
Forever, and I think it is true. I started golfing in 1996
while I was in the Army due to the need to interact
with our foreign Army friends. But it quickly became
a good weekend pastime,” Mr Toh says.
Golf is very much a rule based game, and also a
game of respect for each other on the course. “I
hope that we will all respect our constitution, byelaws
and golf rules to ensure that we can golf safely
and enjoy the game,” says Mr Toh.
In his new role as Club Captain, he hopes to be able
to continue supporting NSRCC’s role in appreciating
the contributions of NSmen by looking at how we
can better support members and their families in
enjoying their game of golf. This role would also
enable him to socialise and meet more of our
members, and better understand their concerns
and bond with them as well. He hopes to provide
our members with a positive golfing experience and
also focus on making the game of golf appealing to
our younger generations of NSmen.
