Berkeley Experience Spring Issue

AT HOME WITH THE THOMAS FAMILY

EASTER AT BERKELEY HALL

BHCF MEMBER MINGLE

MEET WINEMAKER JULIEN FAYARD

Spring is nearly here! From the Savannah Gardens to our Tom Fazio courses, it’s wonderful to see the Lowcountry coming into bloom.

We're getting ready for many of our favorite Club traditions from our Berkeley Hall-style Easter Celebration to the Mixed Member-Member and I’m looking forward to seeing many of you there.

Momentum at the Club continues as we welcome new members to our community. The Wall Street Journal recently named the Lowcountry No. 1 in the luxury real estate market for the nation, and we feel very fortunate to call it home!

We continue to see that success throughout the community with ongoing home builds, and look forward to new plans coming through the ARB this Spring. We have a great story to tell, and as we move towards 500 homes, we’d love for you to share it with your family and friends.

In this issue, we’re happy to share the Thomas family story and what they love most about BHC. (read more on pages 4-5). You can also view their ‘Our Stories’ video located on the member website, which tells the story of what drew them to Berkeley Hall and how it's truly become their forever home.

As temperatures warm up, we continue to see the golf courses play better and better. Even with some challenging weather, winter conditions were the best I’ve seen during my seven years here. The Agronomy team’s detail is remarkable, with continuing refinements throughout the courses, including native area options which make them both more attractive and playable. One of our big Spring goals is to visit different courses to look at various fairway grasses, bunker sand, native areas, and irrigation systems.

I’ve really enjoyed meeting with Members at our first two “Coffees with Adam.” It’s a great way to get to know everyone a bit better. Thank you for taking the time to share your views and please consider joining me at the next one.

We’ve got a great Spring planned at the Club, from charitable foundation events to family friendly events. And nothing says quintessential Lowcountry better than our Lowcountry Boil kickoff to Easter weekend. Come join us and enjoy the best of our “Berkeley Experience!”

Michael Stark & Anna Borghard Ringoes,

t felt like home almost immediately,” share Shaw and Michael. “We have two young boys, 4-year-old Mason and 3-year-old Hudson, and we wanted a place where things would slow down a bit, and we could be a family.”

“Just the entrance of Berkeley Hall took my breath away for a second, then you make that long beautiful drive to the Clubhouse. It was everything we were looking for, without even knowing specifically what we were looking for,” adds Shaw.

Coming here from the hustle and bustle of South Florida was a welcome change for the Thomas family. As professionals with a young family, they were looking for a home that would offer the right balance of family time, career, and golf.

For Michael, with over 25-years of experience as a golf industry professional, the community’s Core Golf was

extremely important. And the ability to work remotely also has its appeal for Michael, as founder of Thomas Unlimited, and Shaw, creator of JigShaw Inc., strategic communications.

“From the warmth of the people, every single person we met, and the pristine perfection of the landscaping, the ponds, the homes, it was everything,” Michael and Shaw said together. “My boys love golf, so the vision of slowing down, having family around, finding the right schools and then I can take the kids on the golf course, are you kidding me?” said Michael. “We couldn’t be happier than to be here.”

“It's such an easy lifestyle,” adds Shaw. “A place for our boys to grow up where they're safe to ride around the neighborhood on their bikes and explore, and make memories. We really see Berkeley Hall as incredible now, and we see the best is yet to come.”

You can also see the “Thomas Family” story in BHC’s “Our Stories” video collection on the member website. Sharing our stories through the voices of our members, with an inside view of our Lowcountry lifestyle, the amenities our members enjoy, and the welcoming warmth of our community.

“The Gown”

by Jennifer Robson

The era-flipping postwar novel starts in 1947, when Ann Hughes, a trained embroiderer with London fashion house Hartnell, is assigned to the top-secret team behind Princess Elizabeth’s wedding dress and veil. Speculation over the design is rampant, as fabric rations are still enforced, even for royalty. Ann, whose brother died during the Blitz, works on the gown’s elaborate stitched detailing alongside Miriam Dassin, a young French immigrant and Holocaust survivor.

Toronto journalist Heather Mackenzie, 69 years later, is bequeathed by her grandmother a box containing a swatch of intricately embroidered fabric. Heather discovers the embroidery features similar motifs to ones that graced Queen Elizabeth’s gown. The box also houses a photo of her Nan with Miriam, now a famous textile artist. Mystified by it’s contents, Heather flies to London to uncover the fabric's secrets and why her Nan never spoke of this period in her life.

“The Second Mrs. Astor: A Novel of the Titanic” by Shana Abe

It’s 1911 and Madeleine

Force is a privileged and beautiful seventeen-year-old debutante in New York City. John Jacob Astor is an ultra-wealthy businessman with a blue-blood pedigree and a recent divorce. When a courtship begins between Madeleine and Jack, the front-page gossip campaign catches naïve Madeleine completely unprepared. Jack’s divorce has already caused rabid gossip among the society pages. Now his pursuit of a girl less than half his age ignites a pearl-clutching scandal that eventually drives the pair to a private wedding and an extended honeymoon abroad… a honeymoon that ends aboard the fateful Titanic. The Second Mrs. Astor shares their love story. While history has already revealed the tragic ending to their brief love affair, this story believably recreates their upper-crust world. The author uses beautiful imagery to set scenes in Manhattan, Bar Harbor, and aboard the Titanic.

Top 100 Instructor Krista Dunton brings a level of excitement to Berkeley Hall Golf Academy that’s unparalleled.

everyone is built differently. No one is going to swing the golf club the same, nor should they, as we all have different physical structures. In my 25-plus years of teaching, what makes me different is I know what to leave alone and what to pinpoint and fix so you build a golf swing you can own and it can repeat on the course.”

Dunton’s unique, custom approach is matched by the award-winning technology at Berkeley Hall’s 33-acre Learning Center. “We have the technology to properly diagnose what’s going on with the golf ball, the golf club. I individualize what you can do with your body through bio-swing dynamics, because

Once on the course, Dunton works on the other elements of human skills: how you think, react to your shot, manage your emotions and develop great technical skills that repeat under pressure, with a good mental set that allows you to perform at your best.

“We are fortunate to have some of the best technology so we can measure and assess. We measure so we don’t guess, and the changes we make as your teachers and coaches are going to help you improve your game.”

DAY 1 We use technology to get a game plan of where you are and where you’re going to go to.

DAY 2 The process of getting your game on the course. How to think correctly, make it productive, implement swing changes under competition and pressure.

DAY 3 How to keep this going, and practice correctly and efficiently.

“We want to teach you how to manage variability. What I love about our Learning Center and two golf courses, is we’ve got every shot imaginable you can learn to play,” adds Dunton. “We teach you a variety of shots, different trajectories –so when you go on the course, you take those shots you learned in practice and tap into that with confidence.”

We want to offer you something different, and customize it to you, the individual. I believe everyone has their own unique swing DNA. We work with what you have, and enhance that and make it better.

ON THE GREENS: LOOK AHEAD

s we move into the Spring season, we are starting to see the Bermudagrass green up. This is exciting to see, particularly after a cold, wet winter which brought 27 rain days since November. With low sunlight levels and cool temperatures, this is the most challenging time of year to fight wet conditions. While we experienced temperatures into the teens in December, conditions that would normally require greens covers, the greens on both golf courses have come through healthy and robust.

In February, I attended the Golf Industry Show in Orlando, Florida along with some of our Agronomy team. Geared specifically for golf course maintenance, it was a great

opportunity to network with other superintendents across the country and learn new techniques we can successfully implement in our agronomy practices. From hands-on tools to wider reaching progressive ideas, the educational topics ranged from mower maintenance and sharpening, being more efficient with your resources, to how to build a better culture, and managing the next generation, along with autonomous mower technology, new weed

control techniques, and how to have the best re-grassing project. Investing in continuing education and learning from industry peers what’s been most successful with their re-grassing projects will allow us to make informed decisions for both ongoing projects as well as when we re-grass the North Course in 2025.

Technology is coming fast to our industry, and it is exciting to see how far it’s come in such a short time. From moisture sensors and meters to new turf health products, drone technology, stress mapping sensors, and GPS-guided fertilizer applications, the industry is adapting quickly. We’re already implementing some of this technology at Berkeley Hall, with plans to integrate more in the future.

As stewards of our two spectacular Tom Fazio courses, our continuing goal is to provide the premier golf experience that our membership enjoys. We look forward to a great Spring season and seeing everyone out on the greens!
