With autumn in full swing, we have had a lot of action here at the Club and there are many things to report. For fall, Rick has a huge guest discount: forty dollars guest greens fee (including a cart) Tuesdays through Thursdays in November - “what a deal!” It has been great seeing so many enjoy the Club lately. This time of year is always very busy. With the holiday season approaching, we are gearing up with merchandise in the pro shops, training new staff and developing menu options for holiday parties. I believe that we will have a major increase in business this holiday season with Jimmy’s new menu and holiday event plans. I hope you will consider your Club first when planning a holiday event this year. After all, it is your restaurant that you would be supporting. One of the most exciting things to report is the addition of Fitsum Baye to our food and beverage team. As we have experienced major increases in ala carte dining at the Club, it will be good to have more experienced management handling our growth in this area. Mr. Baye plans to focus on improving our service in the dining room and on our events; his years of experience will provide us with a new level of food service. Please be sure to contact him for any future event planning with the Club! Thank you to all who completed the member survey this summer. A link to an executive report of the finding will be published and emailed out you this month. Over 500 members took the time to complete the questionnaire, and we are very pleased with the feedback that we received! As promised, the committees are reviewing the results, searching for trends and values for you, the members.

Alisa Rawls Minshall Activities Director 919.945.0411 aminshall@chapelhill-cc.com

I am excited to share with you that we have had over 53 new families join the Club so far this year! We have also seen an increased retention rate in current members, which is great news as well. Membership is the key to the success of the Club and as we move forward in improving the facilities to stay current, valued membership makes all these dreams possible. I hope you continue to promote your Club to your friends and associates. Thank you to all that have sponsored new members this year. As always, if we can help you show the Club to a potential member, please contact Jeff Earley or myself.

Jesse Mendes Aquatics Director 919.932.2852 jmendes@chapelhill-cc.com

Our Club is in an excellent position to move forward into a bright future with our great membership and excellent service.

About the House The results are in from our recent survey of member likes, dislikes, don’t cares and wouldn’t it be nice ifs and I can report that there seems to be a groundswell for a fitness center. Such an idea has been discussed by the House Committee and the Board, but we never realized how much passion for a fitness center existed among you. Of the 504 members who responded to the survey, 75 percent of you said you paid fees to a gym or fitness club outside of CHCC, and 55.2 percent of you said you would like to see a fitness center built at our Club. Can it be done? Sure, if we are willing to devote considerable ground floor space to the project, thus sacrificing a lot of meeting and special events area, and if we are willing to spend the money necessary. And by money necessary, I mean a good bit, because such a project should not be undertaken if not undertaken properly. Opinions on food at the Club varied, as you might expect. Thirteen percent said the food was excellent. The same number thought the food was worse than last year. The remainder of the respondents were somewhere in between.

Most members seemed reasonably OK with the knowledge displayed by servers and with server attention. There were, however, a goodly number of respondents who were not that happy with the food service. Less than half of you felt the Club should pursue outside events to offset the cost of operations, but very few were unqualifiedly happy at the prospect. Food preferences ran from 71 percent favoring healthy and light, to 1.7 percent choosing cheap, cheap, cheap. Locally sourced and organic foods scored 44.7 percent and Italian food came in at 36 percent approval. And 9 percent of you said you ate to live, rather than living to eat. And lastly, let’s hear it for our general manager, Don Hunter. An overwhelming number of you felt Don was doing a good to excellent job. For which he should get a rousing “attaboy”. Larry Cheek, House Committee Chairman cheekw@bellsouth.net

Membership News While 2013 is winding down, things around the Club are kicking into high gear! The holiday season is always one of our busiest times, which also makes it a perfect time to bring out potential new members. Our fall membership deal is still in place, where new members can receive up to 30% off of initiation fees. We are so close to reaching our 2013 goal, and would love to sell out our remaining memberships. I ask that you please take every opportunity in the next couple of months to bring out anyone who might be interested in Club membership. I would also like to remind you about the Annual Membership Meeting, which will take place on Monday, December 2 at 7:00 pm. This is an opportunity for members to come out and hear about the status of the Club, our plans for the upcoming year, as well as a forum to ask questions that you may have and to offer suggestions or praise. We hope that you will take the time to participate. Jeff Earley, Assistant Manager and Membership Director 4

Greetings from the WGA It’s hard to believe we are closing out yet another year, but in fact we will be celebrating our final play day, closing luncheon and election of new officers on Tuesday, October 29. This will be a 9:00 am shotgun, nine holes, with luncheon, awards and election of new officers to follow. It was a great season capped by our Triple Play event in September. Gail Ferreira chaired this new format and I think it’s an absolute winner for our future. Thirty-five women CHCC golfers enjoyed this first Women’s Golf Triple Play under beautiful September skies. The Triple Play hosted the WGA Championship, a special Nifty Niner play day, and a very special 6 hole event for our newest women golfers participating in the “Link up to Golf ” program sponsored at CHCC. Finishing our golf matches practically on cue, we all gathered on Isaac’s Porch for a celebration and a toast to our champions! The Triple Play Winner’s Circle for the WGA were as follows:

Our NNGA Holiday party will be at the Club on Friday, December 6 at 6:30 pm.

Overall Low Gross winner and WGA Champion for 2013: Lily Lee, who shot an amazing 76!

Closest to the Pin: Kelly Ross Congratulations to all participants and winners for outstanding play and on behalf of everyone in the WGA, thank you Gail for such an innovative and fun event! I am delighted to report our TIP team will be playing Treyburn CC at Prestonwood October 17 to determine the No. One Spot. We wish our team of Diane Koenigshofer, Carolyn Hightower, Jane Lamm, and Carol Stamm good luck! And just as a point of reference, our CHCC TIP 2012 standing was last -- so great progress all TIP Team members. A few last reminders: our new shotgun tee time moves to 10:00 am November 1, (however these are not regular play days) and mark your busy calendars now for our post holiday party on Friday, January 10, 2014 at the home of BJ and Mark Attwood. This is my last message as WGA President and I thank you all for your support and participation of this great sport and our organization. In particular I’d like to thank the WGA board members Carolyn Hightower, Diane Koenigshofer, Shere Stone and Linda Johnston for being such a fun and delightful team with which to work. You all are the best!

SMGA President Dick Ellgen

And finally, when the nominating team comes knocking please consider supporting the WGA in whatever capacity you can. We only succeed and grow with our members’ participation.

The Tennis Pro Shop will be closed Wednesday, Dec. 25 through Thursday, Dec. 26 and on New Year’s Day. However the tennis courts will remain open for play those days, weather permitting. The tennis court hotline will be updated for court conditions in the mornings on those days.

Cold Weather Court Conditions

If the temperature drops below 30° F, the clay courts will freeze and remain unplayable until mid-morning. If the temperature drops to the low or mid 20’s, the courts will be unplayable until mid-day or later depending on the daytime temperature, wind, cloud cover and precipitation. For those brave players wanting to still play during the lower temperatures, the hard courts will be perfect! Please check with the pro shop on availability of courts during the colder upcoming months. We are currently planning for the 2014 Tennis Season and hope to make it a bigger and better year for the Tennis Department. Participation from our members is vital for our tennis socials and events to succeed, so if you have any suggestions please feel free to pass them along to the Tennis Shop. As we approach the Holidays, the tennis staff would like to extend its warmest wishes to everyone and hope you all have a wonderful and safe Holiday season.

If you get the chance to meet Gabriel and talk with him, you will certainly make a new friend and leave with such a warm feeling and a great big smile on your face.

2013 Adult Program Wrap Up

CHCC Member Tournament Champions Adult Spring Team Challenge: Randy Smith, Susan Beatty, Courtney Edwards & Steve Kottong Member/Guest: Randy Smith/Meredith Bolon & David Baddour/Mark Baddour Tennis/Golf Biathlon: Bruce Ballentine/Cliff Butler & Pam Ballentine/Linda Butler We had close to 100 CHCC members play this year in our USTA spring, summer and fall seasons and almost 40 ladies who played in our spring and fall Triangle Tennis League. We’d like to send out a big THANK YOU to the members for being so patient and cooperative as court availability was tough on some days due to the amount of matches we had scheduled each week during the season. During those 8 weeks of high traffic in the spring and fall months of league play, those members who were able to play before 9:30 am or after 11:00 am, we always had courts ready for them to play on despite having 2 teams at home. And to ALL the captains this year, thank you for taking on the responsibility of this “job.” Without your time and effort of keeping the teams organized each season, we would not be as successful as we have become each season. So keep up the great work! Congrats to our following Adult teams this year who finished 1st in their respective local leagues. (Spring) Local League Champs: 3.0 Women’s Topspin - Carey Baddour (captain), Maggie Hanes, Jamie Freedman, Kathy Linger, Fran Wilson, Ramsey White, Lee Wollman, Jennifer Woods, Christie Osborne, Ingrid Sztukowski, Janis Tillman, Carol Richards, Christy Bowman, Laurie Ecker and Susan Skolsky.
