Greensboro Country Club September | October 2014
President’s Message 'Cause You're Amazing... It's been said that the true essence, value and strength of any organization is its people. True, without dedicated staff and engaged, friendly members, our halls, rooms, courts and courses would be empty venues.
Garson Rice Club President
During my eight years on the Board - and short eight months serving as your president - I've seen you all at your best. How it endears one's heart to see you care for one another when the need arises. I've seen you show brave resolve fighting some pretty serious health issues. Likewise, I've witnessed you year after year donate your time and treasure in order to help others do so. On the other hand, no one seems to come together quite like GCC folk to celebrate life's milestones. Think of holidays, weddings, bar mitzvahs, golf and tennis events, swim meets or just a cool evening at our new Donald Ross Terrace. Somehow, our GCC family always comes together to enjoy all of these "big fun" gatherings like no other.
September | October 2014
How very lucky we are - how very lucky I am - to be able to have been a part of this family.

Just the Way You Are... Our evolving American family and culture has seen many changes since I joined GCC back in '76. For example, the way we relate to one another, being at times enhanced by technology, having a younger national median age (37.4), being more diverse, getting married at a later age, having more dual incomes and sharing of household tasks, just to name a few. We demand more from a club today. It needs to be a dynamic, family-oriented club, offering more choices for dining, fitness and other social interactions. Your Board and Management team recognizes this, and we look forward to presenting you options for accommodating these new and growing needs.
How We're Doing... Your Membership Chair Deluxe, Monty Hagler and his merry committee continue to bring really great new members into our GCC family - 35 to date, including eleven in July and seven for August! If you see Monty or any member of the Membership Committee please thank them for their great work. New members help guarantee the future financial health of any club. Golf Is a Four-Letter Word... I have a couple of golf updates at our prestigious Club (keep in mind this is coming from a lifelong tennis bum and a rather mediocre one at that). The President's Cup was the "real deal" this year with 120 players, two top-notch golf courses, one fun party and a "bingo" session that - if the home office catches wind of - we'll be lucky if we don't lose our "Club Charter." Long time and treasured member, Mike "Dog" Cornwell carried the night with his biting wit and satirical humor. As Jim Deaton stated later, "That man's got more nerve than a sore tooth!" Speaking of the eloquent Mr. Deaton, during my recent golf lesson, I turned to Pro and said, "Jim, tell me, is my golf swing comparable to someone on the tour, like Jim Furyk, maybe?" "Mr. President," said Proman, "while it's been said that Jim Furyk's swing looks like an octopus falling out of a tree, yours looks to me more like an adolescent gorilla with a machete in a bunch of banana trees." Hope to see you all soon... 'round the Club.

Membership Message from the Membership Committee Chairman The reward of being involved with the Membership Committee is getting to know so many wonderful new families and individuals. While every new member has different things they value most --- be it golf or dining, tennis or fitness, social events or swimming – they all share the desire to be part of our community and engaged in our club. As you can see, we have welcomed nearly 30 new members since the beginning of the year. Please take time to welcome them and get to know them. As we head into the fall, please reach out to individuals who will appreciate, enjoy and value all that our club has to offer. Invite a friend, co-worker or neighbor whose company you enjoy to be your guest for a drink at the Donald Ross Terrace, a meal in Sunset Room, a round of golf or a game of tennis, an adult social event or a children’s party. Non-members cannot experience any of these things without your invitation. If you need any assistance or have questions related to sponsoring new members, please feel free to contact me or any member of the Membership Committee, as well as interim membership director Brittany Mitchell.

General Manager’s Message Goodbye summer and hello “back to school” and the busy days of fall. Thank you all for participating in so many ways at GCC this summer!
Steve Matlaga, CCM
General Manager/CEO
We remain focused in every area of the Club to bring you interesting, diverse activities and experiences so you can enjoy your GCC “home away from home.” Mark your calendar for the “End of Summer Bash” on Friday, September 12th. We will have a poolside seafood boil followed by the fantastic local band “Sleeping Booty.”
September | October 2014
September also marks the return of football and we will feature Thursday night games in the Sunset Lounge and Sunset Terrace. On Saturdays we will have all your favorite games displayed at the Donald Ross Terrace. For our wine lovers we also have a unique night scheduled on September 24th where you can “Build Your Own Bordeaux,” and for our beer lovers, there will be some great German beer selections at “Oktoberfest" on Friday, October 3rd. Under the “Exciting and New” category, we will have our first Irving Park Camp Out on Saturday, October 18th with campfires, food, s'mores and sing-along entertainment.

Looking forward to Halloween, we have many great events planned for GCC families. On October 22nd we invite you to bring the kids by to help decorate fun tombstones for our haunted mansion cemetery that we will create for Halloween. The hayride at the Farm on Friday, October 24th is always a fun event. Last year we enjoyed our first “trick or treat” at Irving Park. What wonderful treat will Chef dream up this year? Everyone should dress in their favorite Disney costumes and come to the Clubhouse on Friday, October 31st for fun and treats. Many people ask me about our hours of operation at the Donald Ross Terrace, and my response is that we will continue to be open as long as Mother Nature allows. The operating
schedule after Labor Day at the Donald Ross Terrace will be modified to three days per week (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and we also intend to keep the Irving Park pool open on the weekends through September (weather permitting). As I look through the newsletter I am excited about the events that the team has offered for every area of the Club. There are many opportunities for you to bring friends and perspective members to fun events at our Club. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored a new member this year, along with the efforts of the Membership Committee. We are a net positive six new Members this year and on track to improve over last year when we ended with a negative net Membership growth. Positive membership growth and participation are a healthy sign. The “Women and Wine for Breast Cancer” would be a great event on Wednesday, October 15th to bring a guest/prospective member to, so please let me know if I can help you in any way regarding membership. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for their submissions for our August photo contest on Facebook. Congratulations to our winner, Charlie Holderness! What a great image of summer fun at the Club (see the winning photo on page 5). Be sure to submit photos for the September contest - you may just win dinner for four at the Club! Congratulations to everyone for making it through a fun summer and the start of school. Keep sending us your ideas for fun things to do. We look forward to seeing you around the Club!
Steve Matlaga, CCM General Manager/CEO

2014 Mid-Year Financial Report The first half of 2014 has been an exciting time at our Club. The opening of the Donald Ross Terrace has boosted our F&B revenues the last couple of months. For the first six months of 2014, revenues in F&B are more than 10% higher than the same period last year with much of this being due to the added business at the Donald Ross Terrace. With the cold and wet weather we experienced during the first quarter of the year, golf revenues have struggled. With the additional business in F&B and some repairs to our facility, expenses are also up over last year by about 3.5%. From a total Club standpoint we are about 7% better than we were last year at this same time. From a Capital standpoint, the Club has also had a productive six months. With the construction and opening of the Donald Ross Terrace, we have completed our major capital project for the year. This project was done within the original 2014 Capital budget and has been a huge success with the membership. While we completed this project within this year's Capital budget, we were also able to reduce our debt with the bank by over $500,000 during the first six months. We are still well ahead of schedule and with no major projects scheduled during the second half of the year, we should be able to focus on reducing it much further before the end of 2014. Looking forward to the second half of the year, our banquet business should really start to pick up during the last five months of the year. Bookings in banquets are strong, and we are projecting to exceed last year, which was a very strong year. The Donald Ross Terrace should remain strong and hopefully good weather the rest of the summer and into the fall will boost golf revenues. The staff continues to focus on cost controls. New member activity during July and August has been very good with 18 new members either joining or being posted during these two months. This should help the financial picture going forward. Please remember, sponsorship from an existing member is the only way someone can join our Club, so continue to look for great additions to our membership. Furthermore, for a successful year, member usage opf the Club is very important and I urge you to use all of the Club facilities as much as possible. As an member, your usage of the Club helps to justify all of the great benefits of our fine Club at a reasonable price. We look forward to seeing you around the Club during the second half of the year! Sincerely, Ed LeBlanc, Treasurer

Dining from the Chef As your Executive Chef I am very pleased with the many upgrades we have made with personnel, facilities and general overall philosophy about food and service at GCC. We have worked diligently with the Food & Beverage Committee and the Board of Directors to evaluate your needs and wants, and formulating solutions to take the dining experience to the next level. A prime example of this is the addition of the Donald Ross Terrace, which has become a "hot spot" for the GCC membership.
September | October 2014
As you have hopefully noticed, our culinary and purchasing teams are shifting are focus to "farm-to-table" cuisine. What does that mean? We live in one of the greatest harvest zones in the country. So instead of buying our fresh ingredients from the largest retailer who buys from across the country, we first search for what is right here at home. John Olinick has been the Purchasing Director at GCC for the past 17 years, and part of his weekly routine is to stop by the farmers market. We buy large amounts of local produce, dairy and meat from farms across NC and support the “Got to be NC” initiative here in our state. Local growers Rudd Farms and Cedar Hills Farms are our main produce and tomato suppliers. Homeland Creamery takes care of all of our dairy and ice cream needs. The majority of our poultry and protein needs are sourced from Neese’s Sausage, Giacomo Meats, Prestige Farms, Hopkins Poultry and Chester White Pork from Heritage Farms. Many of our specialty items such as grits, mustards and cheese come from North Carolina companies as well, such as Lusty Monk Mustards, Goat Lady Dairy, Ash County Cheeses and “Old Mill” of Guilford just to name a few. We purchase the majority of our fresh fish and seafood from Inland Seafood or Halpern’s, both based out of Charlotte. Both companies do a wonderful job with day boat offerings that fish out of the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and international waters. The large broad-line purveyors such as Sysco, US foods and even locally owned Southern Foods all have programs in place to offer us direct buying from smaller local producers as well. This has been a shift in the industry within the past three to five years that is really paying off for the farmer as well as the diner.

With the many dining options available at GCC, you have the ability to decide what style of food and atmosphere you want on a meal-by-meal basis. The culinary team is always trying to plan new and innovative menus while staying close to home with many of the traditional favorites you have grown to love over the years. The Sunset menu changes every seven to eight weeks throughout the year to give members the options to try many seasonal favorites and upscale creations. One of the new favorites in the Sunset is the ability to order what you want for dinner by selecting your protein, starch, vegetable and sauce; much like a steak house, but at the fraction of the price. We offer an array of starters, entrées and vegetarian options as well. This along with our great and growing wine selection makes for a great experience. 1909/Family Grille menu changes with the emphasis on what is in season with an American regional theme. We feed more members in this restaurant than any other outlet in the Club, so we try to offer many kid-friendly options in addition to dishes for the rest of the family. Whether it is Breakfast for Dinner on Wednesday night or the best burger off the grill, we have something for everyone. The Donald Ross Terrace is our new pride and joy. The new wood fired hearth oven and six foot grill are cooking vessels with endless menu applications, so the menu is designed with the equipment in mind. This menu represents fresh, seasonal and local foods. You will see heirloom tomatoes ripe off the vine from Rudd Farms and freshly caught fish off the Carolina coast. The menu changes monthly and also features fresh weekly specials. The Farm Club is the place to eat before or after golf with the same local focus as Irving Park. We will continue to feature traditional along with new weekly ideas for our Thursday night buffet and lunch menus. Wine Dinners at the Club have been incredibly popular this past year. It is a great opportunity for you and your friends to come together and enjoy a menu specifically designed to match the wines for that particular evening. These wine dinners are always a fun opportunity for me to express myself through the food. It’s not just feeding people it’s about making “Best in Class” memories every day. Chef Gregory John, CEC

With steady play in rain drenched conditions, Layton Schiffman posted a second round 73 to pair with a first day 69 at Irving Park forging a consecutive triumph in the Junior Club Championship. The event was plagued by an all day rainstorm creating wet play challenges throughout the round. His six stroke victory placed him ahead of Nicholas Poole (71-77) and Brantley Phillips (74-75). The comeback of the competition was posted by Thomas Mayes who followed a first round 82 with a spectacular 69 in the inclement conditions. Whit Edwards surged to a 13 stroke margin in the 13-14 age division with 72-88 for his trophy as Mack Pearsall finished second place. In the 11-12 Flight, Ben Rightsell was first place with 87.

B.J. Szafran and Lance Young Blaze Courses for President’s Cup Title
Partner Lance Young added his input when needed as B.J. Szafran posted a bogey free 10 under par 62 in the first round of the President's Cup, and the team used that as a momentum to move into the champions spot. They were the leaders in the clubhouse with a 57 net, one stroke ahead of Parker Burke and Tyson Pugh. Gross lead was a posted 60 from defending champions Ryan Gioffre and David Egerton who played some spectacular golf themselves. David was paired with perennial partner Ryan Gioffre, Egerton fired eight birdies and one eagle supplemented with two missteps for a personal 65 and the race was on for the gross prize championship. Day two play at Irving Park revealed some interesting results. A front nine better-ball of four under by Gioffre/ Egerton and one over by Szafran/Young seemed to seal the deal for the gross outcome. But with the shot of the day on the tenth hole by Young for a strong birdie 2 and subsequent solid play from both partners for a six under par incoming nine, Szafran and Young were victors. In the Net Division, Parker Burke and Tyson Pugh continued their fine play with a 63 to pair up with the 58 at the Farm for Overall Net Champions title. The Senior Division had some extended fireworks as first round leaders Snyder/Sural faltered slightly with a 67 allowing a second 63 from the team of Pete Pearce and Gary Michalove to fashion a tie. A playoff was conducted from the first teeing ground. Pearce played a second just short of the green followed by a deft putt from off the putting surface to close proximity to the hole and a wining par for the team. Fourth Flight leaders Jonathan Peddrick and Chris Permar were undaunted in their resolve as they posted a 123 and were two ahead of Tripp Cunningham and Jim Haynes.
Traditional teammates Cabell Poindexter and Chris Stanley were electric in the Irving Park score of 64 to pass all the first day leaders and win the Third Flight with Dan Goley and Sam Stephens three shots back. Second Flight was hotly contested with the top four teams all one stroke variances. J.J. Marus and Mikael Svensson led with 127, sixteen under par. Daniel Craft and Brett Schulman could not muster their first day impetus and were second by one stroke. Robert Enochs and Scott Wyatt were not to be denied in their quest for the Cup as a strong second day 63 propelled their lead from two on day one to five at the end. Britt Preyer and Mark Yates were second behind the stalwart leaders. Championship Flight had David Egerton and Ryan Gioffre snare that crown by one stroke over Jim Morgan and Walt Howell as Egerton/Gioffre posted a 128 winning total.

The golf played at the President’s Cup was spectacular. With exquisite putting surfaces on both courses and summer weather that offered the well-played stroke its rightful benefit, the scoring was nothing short of excellent.

Turf Talk The Modern Day Colors of Golf Green
A good deal of confusion surrounds the use of the word green in proper golf terminology. Should one use "green fee" or "greens fee?" Is it "greenkeeper" or a "greenskeeper?" Exactly what area does the word "green" pertain to on a golf course? Green used as a noun and has two proper golf meanings. The first meaning is chiefly of Scottish origin. It simply defines all territory of a golf course, or all areas outside the confines of the clubhouse. Thus, it can be used in relation to all outdoor areas of a golf course. The second meaning, most readily known to modern audiences, means the area of short grass surrounding a hole (e.g. the putting green). This area is generally mown and rolled to the smoothest possible texture. In most cases of using the word green in golf terminology, the use should be singular. Green fee, greenkeeper and green committee are all correct uses.

Brown
Much like green, the usage of brown has been expanded in its relationship to golf with another commonly used terminology in golf, which is sustainability ("optimizing the playing quality of the golf course, in harmony with the conservation of its natural environment, under economically sound and socially responsible management"). The USGA has led the charge for adding brown into the golfing world’s vocabulary by coining the new phrase “Brown is the new Green”. In large part, the USGA’s focus is to get more people in golf to begin to think more about the positive environmental aspects of golf, where proper usage and management of water resources is a key aspect.
2014 US Open
In some aspects this year’s 2014 US Open served as an important study tool in the area of raising awareness to the average golfer for improved sustainability of the game of golf. While brown conditions are nothing new to USGA championships, Pinehurst #2 received a lot of attention this year related to their recent Coore/Crenshaw renovation. Most in particular was the concept chosen by
Page 14
Pinehurst to go back to single row irrigation. By creating new Sandhill’s native areas in the rough throughout the course and downsizing the irrigation design, Pinehurst #2 reduced their grass area by 36 acres, their sprinkler count by over 500 heads, and most importantly their water consumption by 50 percent or more in a normal year. It is probably true the primary driving force behind the entire concept and the final decision was to get their Donald Ross gem back to its historical roots, but I am sure the sustainable aspects of the new design were an inherent part of the concept from day one and for that Pinehurst should be commended. While the excitement of the tournament itself was somewhat lackluster, the discussion surrounding the course conditions was hot and heavy. Most superintendents I talked to said it went too far towards one end of the spectrum. Many guys I spoke with often related it to another Major held down in Georgia that is often criticized by superintendents for going too far on the opposite end of the spectrum. While there is no right or wrong to the management of either facility there is a significant difference from the real world expectations of the modern day American upscale facilities. The point I would like to get across in this message is twofold. The first is that Irving Park is also a great Donald Ross course and few would argue that Ross courses play best when they are firm, especially around the greens. The second is the golf course maintenance staff here at GCC has always been aware of the importance of proper water usage. Going back to the early 2000’s when a prolonged drought met with stiff water restrictions, we have always kept water issues at the fore front of our management decisions. Each year we try to push the envelope a little further towards the brown side. Some years like last year with well above average rainfall amounts we have little say in how brown the course is on any given day. Some areas of the course force us to water more than we care too such as the greens surrounds at Irving Park with its limited drainage. The Bentgrass greens require a different watering schedule than does the Bermudagrass surrounding the green. Bentgrass prefers deep and infrequent. Bermudagrass on clay soils likes light and frequent. That is actually one of the small but important bonus features local Superintendents are finding when they convert to Ultradwarf Bermudas. The
Junior Golf
irrigation regime is the same. With only minimal drainage infrastructure around the Irving Park greens and less than ideal head placement certain green surrounds stay much wetter than we would like. We have made numerous small adjustments such as replacing full circle sprinklers with part circle models and minimizing the arcs as much as possible. But until we are able to make significant improvements to the surrounding drainage system, redesigning the head placements around the greens and possibly converting the putting surface as well we will likely continue to have wet spots even in the driest weather conditions. This year has proven to be much different from last year. Conditions like we have faced this year have been a bit on the dry side. There have been a few long dry spells where we were able to reduce water usage more than normal and accept some areas turning brown and maybe even thinning out a bit. Even then, eventually the rains came and everything once again turned green. The amazing thing was during a recent seven-week dry period people were still saying how nice the courses looked. Maybe they were just being polite or maybe, just maybe, they not only understand how enjoyable a firm course is to play but that firm conditions will likely result in some areas going off color. If this year’s US Open at Pinehurst did anything for golf course managers it did create a sense of awareness that picturesque may not always result in the best playing conditions and in the long haul picturesque may not be in the best interest of the games sustainability.

Fitness Fitness Update
This season we will be teaming up with our Youth Activities department, to provide fitness activities during out-ofschool days. Also, be on the lookout for a "Fitness Fanatic" event in October for all of you with that intense competitive nature. Remember that we also offer complimentary orientations and teen orientations. Please check the website for details on all upcoming events. We asked, you responded, we listened and now we are ready to take action! The fitness survey we conducted received a tremendous response. We have compiled a short list of the “Top 3” items that we hope address a few of your comments. The first most popular item you requested is “golf fitness.” NG360 Golf Performance training is now available through GCC Fitness to assist you with the body mechanics of your golf swing. We have two golf performance specialists currently working with Club members to improve their golf game. Second, you mentioned that the timing of classes and different class times would motivate you to join us for your fitness needs. Currently, we offer between 36 and 40 classes each week, depending on the season. We offer 6:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. classes daily. In addition, you can attend an 8:00 a.m., 8:30 a.m., 12:15 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. class most days of the week. We also offer four different classes during the weekend. You will find that our instructors are able to modify most classes to any level of fitness and are able to individualize your workout due to small class sizes. You can be assured that we continuously and diligently evaluate the schedule on a monthly basis to meet most of your needs. Finally, the cost of classes was a question for some of you. After researching local facilities and their price points, we
set our class fees to one simple fee of $45 per month to attend unlimited group fitness classes. From our research, we found that this price point is at least $20 less than most of our neighborhood fitness facilities. If you cannot find the class just right for you please let us know. We are receptive to your feedback and we can find the class that is just the fight fit for you. We will work diligently over the next six months to bring some of your ideas and suggestions to fruition! The first item we are working on right now is “WOW” (Workout of the Week). These workouts will be posted weekly to GCC’s Facebook as a video and will be posted in the Fitness Center as well. In addition, watch Facebook for information on our mini events that we will be hosting in the lobby of GCC Fitness on nutrition, massage, reformer Pilates, golf fitness, fitness apparel, weight loss and more. You asked for it and we are here to make it happen! We would like to thank you for your time in assisting us with our efforts to serve you better. The winners of the drawing for completing the survey are… Charles Betts, N. Watt Cobb and Jill Jones! Please pick up your prizes at the fitness desk. Lori Lennon Director of Fitness
