Dear Members of the Chapel Hill Country Club, Let me start by wishing all of you a happy New Year and thank you for all of your support over this past year. You have all been very kind to my family and me, and we are very grateful to you all. I would like you to know what I have been working on for this coming year.

I have made a few changes in my rst year, but mostly I have been observing in an effort to better understand you and the staff.

I have met with members representing each demographic group of the Club to see what areas need the most work. I started with a focus group of our senior members to gain a better understanding of the history of the Club and have been interviewing newer members about their early experiences. This has led us to many new goals, and what I have learned is that planning needs to take place for each age and afnity group within the club to promote the value of the membership. As we move into this year we will promote events and do a better job of clarifying the target groups for each event such as adults, families, or singles. This will help ensure comfort for all of our members.

We have made a lot of progress as a Club this year with increases in member usage in every department. The rst big task of the year was to hire a new chef and solve some systems issues in the food program. We were operating slowly with ticket times sometimes averaging 30 minutes, and a menu that had very few changes in the last couple of years. Over the past year, we have improved to 12 minute averages with few exceptions. We are very happy to have hired Chef Reale. He has brought a new level of creativity to our cuisine, and has made great strides in evolving our food and beverage programs. No change like this is ever smooth, and honestly the rst few weeks was a little tough, but now we are running pretty smoothly and the food is great. The results of this hard work are in and we are seeing increased usage overall and happier membership. Our work in this area is not complete. For the next few months we will be working on the banquet food and service in efforts to increase our service and value to you for your personal, charity and business events. As we move forward, we will be thrilled to have your comments, both positive and negative, because it is all for you and we want to get it right.

Tennis has seen great growth in play and programs. This year alone saw a 57% increase overall. This is arguably the most active private club tennis program in the state. Lindsay and his team have 22 State ranked juniors and we are very proud of what they have accomplished. The Club currently has 147 USTA competitors which is an increase from 132 just one year ago. If you are interested in being on a team, Lindsay would be happy to help you connect with our many captains to nd a good spot for you.

It was a good year for golf, as well. We have helped build up momentum in rounds to 27,000 by adding more events to the schedule. For accomplished players, we have provided some great events such as club tournaments, SMGA and the gross group. From the low handicappers to the average player, the Tuesday Night Men’s League was a big hit and added 576 rounds to the year. We expect that the Men’s League will be a sellout this year.

One of the things we are most proud of is introducing 120 new players to the game of golf this year, most of which are ladies and children whom had never swung a club. The staff and I believe many of these new players are sticking with the game and will be moving up through the ranks. For the good of the game, we are working hard to keep everyone involved in golf and the results in 2012 have been good.

January 1, 2013

A big contributor to all of the growth in participation is due to the increased playability of the course, which was assisted by an increase to the nancial budget for grounds. Craig and his staff have done a great job improving the playability of the course this year despite it being one of hottest summers on record. I feel like the course fared well and we will continue to make strides towards a best-in-class standing over the next two years with our long term project plan for the course.

From the membership standpoint, 2012 was a building year. Our goal was to make special efforts to build the membership in efforts to strengthen the club for the long term. We did this by involving and incenting the membership to bring their friends into the club. Our goal was to bring in 60 new members. As of today we have surpassed that number by 22 bringing in a total of 82 new members this year. On behalf of the Board and the Membership Committee, many thanks to those of you that referred your friends and associates to us, and I personally want to thank Jeff Earley for his efforts in taking these prospective members to club member status. Great job, team!

This year we introduced a new position to the Club, the Activities Director, Leea Murphy, to add value to your membership by expanding our overall offerings. Leea has had much success with her programs offering theater trips, wine tours, and children’s activities she developed with an advisory group of moms. Our hope for the coming year is to begin offering some light tness classes, painting classes and best of all, a full summer camp for our youngest members that will include golf, tennis, tness, shing, soccer, cooking and much more! We have spent all year planning this camp and the program will be introduced later this month. We are almost ready for the big unveiling! Leea will continue to work with the members to build new programs for every demographic. If you are interested in helping your club in this process, please reach out to Leea.

Financially, we are doing well and better than most clubs. With the incentive programs this year, we took some short-term losses in hopes for long-term gains. Our dues income will be signicantly higher in 2013 compared to one year ago. With those increases, we will continue to pay down our debt and reinvest in the assets of the club as we strive to develop the most desirable club in our place in the market. The Club’s current assets, such as the clubhouse and tennis courts, are currently in great shape, but we will have some big ticket items such as major tree removal, collar repairs, replacement of the putting surfaces with Bermuda greens, building a new playground, changing the pool from chlorine to salt water, and much more. All of these items are on the ve-year nancial plan and it looks as though we are on track to deliver them.

In closing, the staff and I would like to thank you all for providing us with this great opportunity to serve you and your family. It is an honor and a pleasure!

Sincerely, Don Hunter, COO The Chapel Hill Country Club, Inc.

A message from our President...

Happy New Year to everyone!

The New Year is a time for resolutions and fresh starts. It’s a great opportunity to try a new experience at the club. Instead of staying in the same old routine, how about trying something new? Come on out to Trivia Night on the 2nd and 4th Thursday nights at 6:00 p.m. Schedule your next all-day staff retreat or board meeting at the club. The lunch buffet has been upgraded, so invite someone out for a quick and delicious lunch.

If you’re in the spirit to work off those Holiday pounds, stop by the Golf and Tennis Pro Shops and chat with the Pros. Perhaps you’ve been staring at the tennis courts or the golf course wishing you knew where to start. The Golf and Tennis Pros would love to help you whether you’ve never touched a club or racquet, haven’t in a while, or need help with your expert swing. There are many ways to participate, and lessons offered for all ages and levels.

January Course Conditions Winter projects continue on schedule. Leaf removal is winding down as we start to make our nal sweep. Tree work has been the focus for the last month and will be for the next few months.

Certain species and unhealthy trees are being removed, while pruning continues on others. The overall aesthetics of various areas along the rough will greatly improve as a result. Bunker reconstruction and landscape improvements are also in the works.

The summers of 2010 and 2011 were wake-up calls for courses in this area of the country. Higher than normal temperatures and continuing higher expectations of golfers is not a winning combination for Bentgrass greens in the South. Therefore, preparations will continue throughout this year for the Ultradwarf

SMGA News

WGA News

As I write this newsletter, just before Christmas, I’ve been very pleased with the extremely mild weather throughout December, but winter is starting to show its metal as the wind and cold show up. I’m sure we are all looking forward to a year of golf as we continue to improve our course.

Greetings from the WGAIn the words of Mr. Shelley, “if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?” Living in North Carolina we know spring is never far behind and our winters can make for some pretty decent golng weather. Ron Johnston tells us this new year we’ll start seeing preparations being made for the new Bermuda greens going in during 2014. I guess we’ll see some tree removal and attening of the ridges around the greens – with apologies on my unscientic description of that process!

Changes to the SMGA Board this year include Terry Flynn as Vice President and new board members Franklin Lamm, Andy Mayer, Tony Oberschall, Dan White, and Jim Williams. I want to thank the members that are leaving the board for all their ne work, Don Bolton, Lou Hightower, Jerry Gschwind, Rick Lessard, and Jim Pease.

It has been a good year of golf and the SMGA is solvent, and membership is holding steady at just over 100.

Our spring season starts on March 13 with the Opening Day Breakfast at 7:30 am followed by a superball tournament at 9:00 am. The event is complimentary, and we invite all members for breakfast whether they wish to play in the tournament or not.

I wish a Happy New Year to everyone.

Dick Ellgen, SMGA President

In the blink of an eye our 2013 golng season will be upon us with our Camaraderie Day opening on Thursday, March 28th. We and the Nifty Niners take turns hosting this event with the honors this year going to the Nifty’s – so it’s sure to be a great opening! We’ll plan on our rst regular WGA play day being Tuesday, April 2nd with a brief business meeting to follow. And back to Camaraderie Day- we are looking for a WGA member to work with the Nifty Niner team on planning and also have several other plum positions open throughout the year namely Play Day Chairs for September and October. Please let me know if you are interested in any of these coveted spots.

Finally a big thank you to my fellow WGA ofcers, Carolyn Hightower, VP, Diane Koenigshofer, Secretary and Shere Stone our Treasurer and in particular past President Linda Johnston – she remembers everything! These ladies are the best, a delight to work with and I’m happy to say will be remaining in their roles for 2013.

Happy New Year to you all and look forward to seeing you out on the golf course!

Nifty Niners News

Laura Ellgen, WGA President p.s. Don’t forget our Winter Party, January 11th, 2013!

Welcome to 2013The Nifty Niner Christmas party was a huge success! Lisa Gabriel and Karen Lazarus did a stellar job with organization, decorations and food selection! The club staff moved furniture around and set up the food display creating a cozy and festive venue enjoyed by all. The kitchen put out fabulous food, which was also enjoyed by us all. Weather permitting, we will continue to gather for play at 10:00 on Thursday mornings. Sign up, phone up or show up to play.

There will be a board meeting at Noon on Thursday, January 24 to which the membership is welcomed. If the weather is agreeable, we can play 9 holes of golf and then have our meeting.

The NNGA is hosting the Opening Day/

Camaraderie Day activities this year. This event will be held on Thursday, March 28 with a 9:00 shotgun start. Lunch will follow play and the Nifty Niners will have their opening business meeting to follow lunch.

TENNIS COURT LIGHTS

SPRING CLAY COURT RESURFACING

We have recessed lighting on the clay courts which will illuminate the court you’re playing on just ne with no need to light up the adjacent court, as well. 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 ip the necessary court lights on or off).

The Clay Courts will be resurfaced beginning February 23 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 pro shop for further details as this time approaches.

WINTER CLAY COURT CONDITIONS For the winter months, the court conditions phone message will be posted by 7:30AM (or later in the event of inclement weather – rain, snow, sleet, or temperatures in the teens or 20’s). If the temperature drops below 32 degrees, the soft courts will freeze and will be unplayable in the morning until after 12:00PM. If we have a hard freeze (mid to low 20’s or below), the courts will be unplayable until mid afternoon and possibly all day.
