It’s no secret the best way to lower your score is by dialing in your short game As mentioned in the open, Operation36 has been a tremendous success here at the Club The purpose of Op36 is to learn the game from the hole back toward the teeing ground that you are most comfortable playing When you are struggling to shootlowerscores,focusonputting,chipping,andpitching Nearly allofuscangettogreensinregulation,Par3’sin1shot,Par4’sin2 shots, and Par 5’s in 3 shots, but not all of us make putts like the pros As you play your rounds of golf in September and October calculate your fairways hit, greens in regulation, and a number of putts per hole. You’ll quickly begin to understand why your scores remain where they are. Let our team help you devise a plan to reduce your handicap based on your stats Our Professional staff would be glad to review your scores/stats and offer a plan to help loweryourscores.

Aswestarttostepawayfromthesummermonths,tryingtokeepeverythingmaintainedduringpeakgrowth,wenowtransitionintoanewtimeof year and a new season for us. This time of year is just as critical if not more critical than all others. Lots of planning and careful time sensitive and temperature dependent decisions are made during the fall On top of dealing with leaf cleanup for the next four months, we will be carrying out some important processes such as raising the height of cut on greens/tees/fairways, Spring Dead Spot fungicide applications, pre emergence herbicide applications for winter annual weeds, course wide fertility, and overseeding. These things are all part of the plan between now and winterdormancy Thefunneverstops Everythingwedothistimeofyearhasanimpactonhowwesustainconditionsduringthewinter,andalsohowwetransitionOUTofdormancyin the spring All of these things were actually planned out in 2021 as part of the 2022 agronomic plan Over the next few months, we will be doing lots of reflecting about how things have gone so far this year and what may need to change for next year Good things, mistakes, financial adjustments, pesticide program, fertility schedule, and new maintenance strategies going forward, all will be taken into consideration for how we planfornextyear
One thing that we as staff always look forward to every year is The Cates Invitational. After a successful tournament last year with record setting greens speeds, I’m sure expectations will be high once again I have had the privilege of leading a very talented and ambitious staff this year Please be sure to thank the maintenance staff when you see them for a successful year here at Providence I don’t think I’ve ever seen the place better I sincerely hopethatyouhaveenjoyedthegolfcoursesofarthisyear

THE PROVIDENCE PRESS 3 MCCONNELL GOLF NEWS
What more could a McConnell Golf member want than what was delivered during the 83rd annual Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club? Start with the prerequisite, a fitting and historic champion Despite a slow start out of the station, Thomas the Train got things rolling along at Sedgefield. Joohyung Kim, who adopted the American name “Tom” from his love of Thomas the Train as a boy, started the 2022 Wyndham with a dreaded “snowman” a 4 over par quadruple bogey on his very first hole of the tournament. Then he started rolling along, never stopping until he was back at the station holding the Sam Snead Cup following an eye opening, five shot victory over a pair of former PGA Tour Rookies of the Year, third round leader Sungjae Im and first round leader John Huh. The 20 year old Kim became the second youngest PGA Tour winner since World War II (Jordan Spieth was 19 years, 10 months when he won the 2013 John Deere Classic) and the first born in the 21st century. He was born in 2002 in Seoul, South Korea His father, Chang Ik, had been a professional golfer and is now a teaching pro The family moved around when he was young; their residences included China, Australia, the Philippines and Thailand To call Sunday at Sedgefield a special day for Kim would be an understatement His 8 under par 27 on the front nine tied for the second lowest nine hole score in PGA Tour history To top it off, the Wyndham’s youngest winner ever also clinched a place in the all important, season ending FedEx Cup Playoffs. Kim wasn’t the only Wyndham competitor who enjoyed their walk in the park on Sunday. Sedgefield member Alex Smalley and Wakefield member Chesson Hadley both secured their PGA Tour cards for next season by shooting scorching 64s Only Kim and Stephan Jaeger (62) fared better in the final round. Hadley finished tied for eighth place while Smalley finished tied for 13th to earn their share of the tournament’s $7 3 million purse
Smalley played the tournament wearing the initials “JW” on his cap to honor 50 year old Jeff Womack, a popular Sedgefield member who died unexpectedly a few weeks earlier. The lumber salesman was a married father of two daughters Smalley, who joined Sedgefield in 2020, had played golf with Womack several times “He just kind of lit up the room whenever he walked into one, just because he had a smile on his face," Smalley told PGA Tour.com’s Helen Ross. “He knew everybody and was very friendly ” Hadley has a long history with McConnell Golf. He played junior golf with John McConnell’s sons growing up in Raleigh McConnell Sr was on hand when Hadley won the ACC Championship at Old North State Club. Following that important victory, McConnell offered Hadley practice privileges at his company’s portfolio of courses to help him prepare for the eGolf Tour Then in 2012, McConnell secured an entry for Hadley into the Wyndham Championship. Two years later, Hadley was named the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year Good deeds like that are part of the reason CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz said “the great John McConnell” on the Saturday of tournament weekend, when McConnell presented Nick Faldo with a special plaque at Sedgefield’s Wall of Champions behind the ninth green as a tribute to Faldo and his legacy. In 1979, Faldo made his PGA Tour debut and competed in the Greater Greensboro Open, now known as the Wyndham Championship The five time major champion spent the last 16 years as a broadcast analyst. During the 2022 Wyndham weekend he celebrated his retirement from the CBS broadcast booth Last but certainly not least, former McConnell Golf Junior Scholarship recipient Blake McShea, who grew up in Zebulon and played college golf at UNCW, not only Monday qualified for the Wyndham, he fired a 5 under par 65 during Friday’s second round to find himself momentarily tied for seventh place He easily made the cut and eventually finished tied for 76th in his inaugural PGA Tour event

Growing up in a small Pennsylvania town, the Amish community, along with their culture and cuisine, was a major part of my childhood. My father, who owned a hardware store, always joked that the Amish put me through college, due to their loyalty to my father’s business and their affinity to only pay with cash This cookie
