MANAGER'S MESSAGE By Rob Ciapanna What a holiday season for Palmetto Hall Golf & Country Club! We had record turnouts for the Tree Lighting, MGA Holiday Dinner, PHWC Luncheon, Member Holiday Cocktail Party, and Tuesday Troupe. The Member Holiday Sale in the Golf Shop on December 8 was standing room only with sales north of $7,000 in less than an hour. Thank you to all the members who came out to celebrate the holiday season at the club. It is greatly appreciated. Santa also came early to the club delivering both a brand-new pump station to Patrick and a new kitchen exhaust system for Chef Mick. Both were desperately needed and have made an immediate impact on the efficiency of golf course maintenance and food and beverage. As we move into the new year, please review the club’s 2024 calendar of social events that have been loaded onto the member section of the website. We have added some Trivia Nights and Wine Dinners along with celebrations for Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo among others. The club sends out an email communication with upcoming events every Tuesday at 2 pm. If you are not receiving this email, please contact Noah Hightower at nhightower@heritagegolfgroup.com. Happy New Year!

TURF TALK by Patrick Hensley “Practice, we're talking about practice.” This famous quote was coined by the great basketball player Allen Iverson. Let’s talk about the driving range tee. The turf on our range tee is a hybrid bermudagrass, and as you know, it only grows when soil temps are above 70 degrees and really likes it when the air temp is above 85. So that means right now the bermudagrass isn’t growing. In the late fall and winter, we overseed with Perennial Ryegrass to provide winter color and some grass to hit from. Now when the temps get colder, the ryegrass doesn’t germinate either. So, I wanted to discuss our winter range tee rotation. As long as the weather permits, we will set up on the grass. When the temperatures are such that we do not get germination, we will set up on the mats. This allows us to give ourselves some recovery time. Happy practicing!

PARKER'S POINTERS by Parker Mulford "I'm Gonna!" As we discard the rusted, broken, and rotting thing that was 2023 and embrace the shiny, sparkling new bauble that is 2024, we often make resolutions and commitments to change. Why we wait until certain calendar markers is a mystery, but we use these timelines in the sand to hopefully create improvements in our lives. At least the thought of it is somewhat of a commitment. This month, we will explore the "I'm Gonna" moments. "This year I'm gonna break par, shoot my age, go low!" In looking at goals we want to achieve, we need to be mindful of the reality of accomplishment. Aspirations beyond qualifications and capability tend to leave us disappointed and frustrated. Keep the goals realistic and achievable – look to break 80, 90, or 100 for the first time, drop your handicap by 5, and stay consistently within a score range. By setting these benchmarks within an attainable parameter, we can see success, and that will keep us going in a positive direction. "This year I'm gonna get better, practice hard, take a lesson!" Putting time in on the range or practice facility without instruction is a surefire way to reinforce a bad habit and bury that muscle memory tick so deep you'll need the Deepwater Horizon to drill it out. The professional staff at Palmetto Hall is here to help you with your game. An affordable way to dip your toe in the instructional pond is our Monday Ladies Clinics. Each week we focus on a different part of the game and impart the proper things to practice. In 2024, we will roll out new and exciting "themed" clinics as well. Private lessons are always available. Which is the best opportunity is up to you. Remember – we WANT you to succeed!

PARKER'S POINTERS CONTINUED by Parker Mulford Start this wonderful year with a heart full of hope, happiness, and purpose. Be realistic of accomplishments and open to new avenues for improvement, both physically and emotionally. Actively seek out those opportunities to test yourself and learn from those shortcomings. And remember the old adage - ‘Ya gotta wanna, cuz if you don't wanna, you ain't gonna!'
