SMA supports a diverse range of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) where Members with the same passion and hobby get together for various activities. Meet two of our passionate convenors below!

Golf is a social game. Most golf courses do not allow one to play alone, and a game of golf with three other like-minded people can sometimes take anywhere between four to five hours. Doctors are generally very busy people; with our hectic schedules, we have to plan our leisure time carefully. Every minute is precious. It is also difficult to keep in touch with fellow doctors and colleagues, especially if one is managing a solo practice or starting out fresh in private practice.
With the SMA Golf SIG, our intention is to promote golf among doctors. We would like to create a platform of sorts. It is a reason for SMA Members who love the game, or those who are just looking for a reason to spend time with their friends, to get together and enjoy a healthy dose of Vitamin D therapy. The Golf SIG hopes to be able to organise events for our members to do just that.
Apart from our flagship SMA Annual Golf Tournament and sending a team to take part in the annual Inter-Professional Games, we aim to organise activities so our golfing members are able to interact more with each other. Some proposed ideas from our golfing members include social games at the various golf clubs in Singapore, makan (Malay for eating) sessions with wine pairing for our golfers, and even the possibility of group buys and special offers from vendors. The list goes on and the possibilities are endless.
We invite you to reach out to us at golf@sma.org.sg for we hope to see you soon! In the meantime, greens and fairways!
