My fellow members, I am honored to serve as your Club President for the next two years and look forward to the opportunities and challenges that the Club has in store for us. I feel that the Club has provided so much to my family, and I am not just talking about the dozens of golf balls in the backyard of my house on 16. As members, we all want to see the Club provide increasingly better service and ever improving facilities, and I know your Board desires these things as well. I cannot impress upon you enough the importance of increased membership to these shared goals. The Club is better if we surround ourselves with your growing circle of friends who share similar interests. Our goal this year is to add over 60 new families to our membership. Any future projects and Club improvements require that this goal be reached. Jay Kennihan has accepted the Membership Chairman’s position on our Board. We are pleased to have someone that understands marketing so well leading the membership charge, but as always, we need your help to grow the Club. With our four newest Board members Kate Eifrig, Lance Baker, Jay Kennihan, and Terry Barker, I believe that we will have some great new perspectives on the Club. Thankfully, our outgoing President, Kendrick Vinar, did a stellar job running the Board last year. His term brought a renewed fiscal responsibility to the Board. During his tenure, we were able to refinance our mortgage and renegotiate our property taxes. As the Board begins meeting this year, we intend to focus on the future needs of the Club, which include our long term asset plan. The 2013 survey showed us many areas of the Club that the majority of you would like to see us focus on, such as golf course bunker improvements, our playground structure and a future fitness facility. Our financial picture is pretty good, but still requires a modest dues and CIP increase beginning this month. Our hope is to continue our debt reduction plan, as well as to replenish our cash reserves to provide a strong safety net going forward. As a Board, we hope you share in the vision and passion for our Club. It is so much more than a place where we have a drink, play a round of golf, or enjoy a game of tennis. When speaking with the leaders of other clubs, I am usually asked how our Club stays so strong, especially during such difficult economic times. My answer is that we have a special membership, who all have a shared interest in our Club. My fellow Board members and I are eager to continue to give back to our Club and ask for your help to keep us moving forward. Respectfully, Michael Brogren

About the House It was a roaring, packed house holiday season for the kids at the Club. They took over the main floor on a Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday before Christmas and General Manager Don Hunter said that everyone had such a good time with Santa, he might have to stretch the festivities to four days next year. This was welcome news to someone (me) who was feeling a bit down after learning he’d been born on John Wilkes Booth’s birthday. And that he (me again, not John Wilkes Booth) and Lee Harvey Oswald, the other famous presidential assassin, both qualified as sharpshooters during their military training. (At least I hung up my rifle when I hung up my uniform. Oswald didn’t.) It’s always cheery to know that a significant portion of our Club population is enjoying itself. I include the parents, and especially the one young mother who I overheard telling her child as they were leaving the Club, “Look at the moon! What a wonderful night for Santa to fly!’’ Well, I know it wasn’t Christmas Eve, but the rotund one had to get to CHCC some way, didn’t he? It was a peaceful year for the House Committee. Complaints were few and minor. Members by and large chose to behave themselves, taking off their caps indoors (men), going outside to use their cell phones, wearing jeans without holes and not running in the Clubhouse. A good time was, I hope, had by all and your committee looks forward to more of the same in 2014. One change for the better that is coming (it may already be here by the time you read this) is improved lighting in the Columbia Room, which is one of the two rooms downstairs used for spillover and special events. Lighting in the Columbia has been dim since the new Clubhouse was built. Additional fixtures have been obtained for a very reasonable price, and Don Hunter has promised me that they will be installed before the end of January, if not sooner. Right, Don? We’ll be working in the new year to spruce up the Clubhouse where it needs sprucing and doing whatever else we can to make 2014 a happy time for all our members. And remember, the whole point of belonging to CHCC is simple: to have fun. And so we shall. Larry Cheek, House Committee Chairman
Congratulations! We would like to extend a round of applause to our own Sally Austin, who recently received the Gladys Palmer Meritorious Service Award! This award is given in recognition of outstanding service above and beyond the call of duty, and honors individuals who have made a substantial contribution to the evolution and growth of women’s collegiate golf. Recipients of this prestigious award have influenced women’s golf in a manner that has changed the complexion of the sport and as such, the award is meant to honor a pioneering spirirt. We here at Chapel Hill Country Club are proud to have such an outstanding person in our midst, and hope that you will take the time to congratulate Sally on this great accomplishment! 4

Nifty Niners News
Greetings from the WGA
The Nifty Niners’ closing day was well attended and, as it was Halloween, there were several costumed players. Mary Guckes and Susan Gibson organized a wonderful luncheon for us to celebrate the end of another golf season.
Happy New Year to all, and I hope 2014 finds us all with good health and great golf games! As your new President for 2014, I would like to invite everyone to make suggestions on how to improve the WGA and obtain greater participation in our play days and events. I have already received some very thought-provoking ideas and look forward to hearing more.
On December 6, we gathered in a transformed Lawson’s Bar for our Christmas party. The room was beautifully arranged and decorated and the food was great!! Thanks to all the staff that helped put the room together. Thanks to Diane Staton, who spearheaded the planning of the Christmas party. Thanks also to Susan Dennis for the invitations and to Karen Lazarus, Susan Weidener and Jann Stiven for getting everything done. The party was a great success!! We continue to play on Thursdays as weather permits. From now until the 2014 season begins on April 3, we will start play at 10:28 am. There will be a NNGA Board meeting on January 30 at 1:00 pm. This meeting is open to any Nifty Niner who wants to attend. We will be able to play golf and then have our meeting. Kate Eifrig
Senior Men’s Golf Association With winter officially upon us and 2013 coming to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing president Dick Ellgen, and Board members Bob Dalton, Paul Richardson and Stan Eskridge for all their hard work and efforts. It was a fun year of golf and the SMGA remains solvent with membership just under 100. Changes to our Board for 2014 include Andy Mayer as Vice President and new Board members Mark Attwood, John Battle, John Pyecha, Tim Smelzer and Al Vickers. Our spring season starts in mid March with our opening day breakfast, followed by a superball tournament. The event is free and all members are invited for breakfast whether you play in the tournament or not. On behalf of the SMGA - “Happy New Year” to everyone. Terry Flynn SMGA President

Your 2014 Board includes: Carolyn Hightower - Vice President, JoAnn Mayer - Treasurer and Mary McCoy - Secretary. I am very excited to work with these ladies and hope you will thank them for stepping up and serving in these positions. As NC is infamous for its yo-yo weather, I hope you will take advantage when you can and get out to play over the winter. I will remind everyone that the WGA has standing tee times from January through March on our normal Tuesdays starting at 11:00 am, and you can still sign up through the Google docs or call the Pro Shop. These are informal play days. I would like to recognize our 2013 TIP team, captained by Lin Wright. CHCC was the TIP champion, beating Treyburn at the Prestonwood Country Club in a very tight match. Kudos to all who played this year, it was definitely a team effort. We will be claiming our trophy at a luncheon held at Prestonwood Country Club on January 14, 2014. And don’t forget our Winter Party will be held January 10! BJ Attwood has graciously offered her home for this grand event. Shere Stone is handling the preparations, thank you Shere! Please consider how you will help the WGA this coming year. We have numerous opportunities such as Play Day Chairs, Camaraderie Day Chair, Winter Party chair, etc., so please sign up and help out. I am very excited to be your fearless leader. Cheers to a great golf season! Diane Koenigshofer WGA President

Golf Shop Message
As we look forward to 2014, we would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe new year. We plan on having a very busy and productive golf schedule this year that will be finalized by March 1, 2014. We also plan on having all new members, as well as current members attend a required 30 minute golf presentation on aspects of golf that the Golf Committee deems to be important to the day to day operation of Chapel Hill Country Club. Our topics will include: how to repair a ball mark, golf etiquette, golf attire, speed of play and other topics that are important to make all members golf experience better at Chapel Hill Country Club. The details on this program will be finalized soon and sent out to the membership so that you can attend one of the scheduled presentations.
Save The Date
We have finalized a few important dates that you can put on your calendar. The Tradition The 2014 Men’s Member-Guest will be held the weekend of June 26 - 28. Sign-up information regarding the tournament will come out at a later time. This information will be included in your March Newsletter. The Carolina Classic The Ladies’ Carolina Classic (Member-Guest) will be held on June 5 - 6, 2014.
Golf Shop Spotlight
Alan Bandy, my assistant for 24 years has decided that it is time to retire so tht he can spend more time with his wife Wanda and family. He will be retiring on January 31, 2014. We plan on having a “Alan Bandy Appreciation Roast Dinner” at the Club on Saturday, February 1. We would like to invite all of you to come and show your appreciation for Alan. He has been a very valuable asset to the golf program over the years and his work ethic and dedication will be hard to replace. I will start the process of finding a replacement by early spring. We wish Alan the very best, and I know that he is looking forward to being on the other side of the “penalty box,” having weekends and holidays off and playing a lot more golf. Look out Twister!

This rule will be in effect until we start playing the ball down again in the spring of 2014.

We will keep you informed with ALL changes **
Winter Clay Court Conditions
For the winter months, the court conditions phone message will be posted by 7:30 am (or later in the event of inclement weather – rain, snow, sleet, or temperatures in the teens or 20s). If the temperature drops below 32 degrees, the soft courts will freeze and will be unplayable in the morning until after 12:00 pm. If we have a hard freeze (mid to low 20s or below), the courts will be unplayable until mid-afternoon and possibly all day.
Tennis Court Lights
We have recessed lighting on the clay courts which will light up the court you are playing on just fine, with no need to light up the adjacent court as well. So to help reduce our power bill, please be sure to only turn on the lights for your court and turn them off when you leave. The court lights will be turned off when not in use at night. There is a timer that will also turn them off at night to help. The court light box is outside of court #7. (Turn the handle up to open the door and flip the necessary court lights on or off.)
Spring Clay Court Resurfacing
The clay courts will be resurfaced at the end of February to get them ready for our busy spring USTA season here at CHCC. All 10 clay courts will have the lines ripped up, and the old material will be raked off the court and hauled off. Once that is complete, new material will be evenly dispersed and rolled perfectly to get them ready for the brand new lines to be nailed to the ground. We will block off courts 1-6 or 7-10 to allow members the chance to still play on either side during this time. Please check with the Tennis Pro Shop for further details as this time approaches.
Adult Spring Team Challenge: Saturday, April 12: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
This team event, our most popular for years now, can make you, an ordinary tennis player, feel like one of the members of the Davis Cup team! Every game you and your partner win is good for the team, and the fate of the team can rely on your final doubles match! The uniqueness of the format is the reason for the popularity of this event. There are six teams, 3 men and 3 women per team. On each team there are 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 players. Each round will consist of all doubles (men’s, women’s and mixed) and you will play with each of your teammates before the event is over. The most consistent team each year ends up in victory lane. What makes this weekend so special is that all different levels of players are represented on each team. The teams will be assigned by Lindsay, Derek, Jarrod and Jaime, with the utmost attention paid to equality. Tennis from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm with lunch and the award presentation to follow from 12:00pm - 1:00 pm. The cost is $35 for each player (includes lunch, snacks, awards, and balls). 8

Ladies’ Team Camp Dates
Due to the high turnout for ladies playing in our annual Spring Tennis Teams (USTA and Triangle Tennis), it is almost impossible to hold a separate clinic for each registered team out of CHCC. Therefore, each spring we offer two day camps for 3.0-4.0 USTA levels and hope those participating on the teams can make at least one day. 3.0 Team Camp - Wednesday, February 19 and Thursday, February 20: 9:00 am - 12:00pm 3.5/4.0 Team Camp - Thursday, February 27 and Friday, February 27: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Camps will consist of stroke production and conditioning, as well as strategy and tactics. The first day of each camp will focus on singles and the second on doubles. Drinks and refreshments will be provided. The cost for two days is $90.00 or $50.00 for one day. Camps will be limited to the first 18 players to sign up. 9

Activities for Young Members Tuesday Art Classes for Kids
Every Tuesday from 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, kids can come learn skills for visual arts. We work on drawing, painting, collage and other visual art mediums. Alisa loves sharing her knowledge of art and teaching kids how to be creative. We learn how to turn “mistakes” into something new and that there are no real mistakes in art. Learning to draw teaches hand-eye coordination and how to think outside the box. $8 per child per session. Please let Alisa know in advance if your child will attend!
Thursday Night and Friday Night Kids’ Club Every Thursday and Friday from 5:30 pm until 9:00 pm, kids can come play games, have dinner, make crafts and watch movies while parents enjoy a quiet evening in the Clubhouse! We even have a round of children’s trivia on Trivia Night Thursdays. Children are returned to parents by 9:00 pm. Check E-News and the weekly evites for details on planned activities each week! Contact Alisa to be added to the evite mailing list! Price depends on the number of children attending: if we have a large group, we’ll charge $12.50, which includes a buffet dinner. If we have a small group, we’ll charge $10 for the first child, $8 for each additional child and dinner will be ordered from the menus and charged separately.
