Clubhouse - Golf Waiting

The Summer I Turned Pretty is an American coming-of-age romantic drama television series created by author Jenny Han for Amazon Prime Video, and is based on her novel trilogy of the same name. Lola Tung (Belly) stars as a teenager involved in a love triangle with two brothers played by Christopher Briney (Conrad) and Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah). Production on the series began in 2021. Several episodes for season 2 were filmed at Porters Neck Country Club. Filming locations at Porters Neck CC include the ballroom which was used for the prom scene. The driving range set the scene for an overnight stay on the golf course. Finally, the Ladies Locker Room was turned into their Employee Locker Room. The majority of the scenes that feature Porters Neck are in episodes 3 and 4 of season 2.

Portions of Season 2, Filmed at Porters Neck

Porters Neck Staff Receive National Recognition for Live Saving Efforts

Tim Hall and Max Travis were presented with the American Heart Association Heartsaver Hero Award by the Porters Neck Men’s Golf Association The award was given to them in honor of their life saving efforts for Porters Neck team member, Bob Schrader, when he suffered a major heart attack at work in early July. Tim and Max, who performed life-saving CPR on Bob, are valued members of our golf course team.

Congrats, Crew!

Congratulations to Crew Donovan! Crew (pictured middle) placed second in the Drive, Chip, Putt Championship at the First Tee for ages 7 - 9 Way to go, Crew!!

BOB UPDATE! We were absolutely thrilled to have a visit from Bob Schrader and his wife, Kerri, during the month of August. Bob, the PNCC's Head Mechanic for the past 19 years, has been recovering from a major heart attack that occurred in early July while he was at work. Porters Neck members have graciously donated over $16,000 to Bob's Go Fund Me which we set up in order to assist him and Kerri with the extensive medical bills that his insurance won't cover.

As you can see, Bob is itching to get back to work! Have no fear, we did NOT let him actually push the mower. Bless his heart, he couldn't help himself!

"Operation Semper Gratus"

THE TRADITION CONTINUES! We are proud to announce for the 3rd consecutive year, members of Porters Neck Country Club and the Porters Neck Plantation community will continue to host 200 Marines & Sailors in our community on Thanksgiving Day (November 23rd) from Camp Lejeune for "Operation Semper Gratus".

In 2022, we had over 200 volunteers from the club and the community involved in this program. A huge "Thank you" to every volunteer who has assisted in making this event so successful.

What a wonderful opportunity and honor for our community to thank our service men and women for their service by setting extra seats at our Thanksgiving tables and provide special meals for those Marines & Sailors who cannot be with their loved ones on this uniquely American holiday. We are hoping we will have at least 100 of the 200 Marines & Sailors experience Thanksgiving in Porters Neck host homes Those Marines & Sailors not hosted in homes will also experience a delicious Thanksgiving dinner by Chef JP and the culinary team at Porters Neck Country Club, via a $50 donation per Service Member, on this special day

The Cross-Eyed Bear

Earlier this summer, Porters Neck member Martha Armstrong stopped by and shared a fascinating story that involves her mother Jean, past U S Presidents and her childhood friend, acclaimed actress, Kathy Bates Maybe you ’ ve heard of her? The daughter of a Methodist preacher, Jean Patty Armstrong (pictured left) would not only mix up the words to hymns but she would sometimes misunderstand what her dad said during his sermons For example, any time he would say, "The cross I bear”, she thought he was saying, “The cross-eyed bear” She had a lot of questions about ‘the cross-eyed bear’and after some clarification, she came up with a wonderful idea that would begin at home and eventually travel the globe.

She started making little bears, which would eventually be called ‘Gladly Ambassadors’, for her children when they were having a hard time or facing a difficulty. It wasn ’ t long before Jean’s family and friends started to notice the bears and began asking if they could get one for their children. ‘Gladly The Cross-Eyed Bear” was born. Gladly was created to give folks who were dealing with unfriendly cross-eyed bears, a bit of joy and comfort and a sympathetic ear to talk to about those issues or problems causing them one too many "crosses to bear"

Gladly Ambassadors are shipped to those in need anywhere in the world. Ranging from 1 to 18 inches, the Gladly bears are often made for specific hardships. Gladly Ambassadors now reside in all 50 states in the US; 6 Canadian provinces; and almost 40 foreign countries and they are always made and shipped, FREE OF CHARGE Last year, they sent out 1,200 They saw an increase in requests during the pandemic They are a source of solace for children and adults A senior recipient will often use it for memory care They often send them to places where children experience trauma 150 were sent to the children of Ukraine Anywhere someone needs a hug Gladly’s have been sent to President George Bush, President Barack Obama, President Jimmy Carter, and Senator John McCain Another recipient is Martha’s childhood buddy from camp, actress Kathy Bates

Barney’sMom

Recently, Martha Armstrong visited the membership office at Porters Neck with several bears She had specific instructions for one special bear It was wearing a white sweater with red trim In the center was a heart, only part of it was missing She told me to save this bear until I met with someone who was missing a piece of their heart Several weeks later, I learned that a dear friend had suddenly lost her long-time companion, a maltese named Barney For years, we would see Barney enjoying car rides in the sunshine with his mom and see pictures of his latest haircut from Paws and Claws Like so many of us with pets, we can attest to the fact that they are so much more than that The sweet bear that Martha had asked for me to save for a special person, was special indeed Gladly’s mission is to give a hug to anyone who needs it and that is exactly what it did for Barney’s mom For more information, please visit gladlythecross-eyedbear org

Goal For 2023

Our fundraising goal this year is $60,000 - an amount we are confident our generous sponsors, Porters Neck neighbors and Wilmington tennis community, will help us achieve This year's event will also feature a VIP sponsor party on Thursday, September 28 Based on 2022 attendance, and early registrations for 2023, we expect the event to sell out quickly! See you in September!

Last October, the Wilmington tennis community led by players from Porters Neck Country Club turned out in force to support our efforts to raise over $60,000 to benefit Make A Wish Eastern NC for children with life changing medical diagnoses Over the course of three days, attendees at the 2nd Annual Swing For The Stars Tennis Tournament enjoyed premier-level amenities for players and spectators alike, including a DJ, club activities like bocce and pickleball, plus food and beverages options from our award winning F&B staff

Porters Neck Country Club and Swing For The Stars are set to do it again this year, with our 3rd Annual Swing For The Stars Tennis Tournament scheduled to take place September 29 - October 1, 2023 While our mission to help children with critical illness remains the same, we would like to take an opportunity to share the success of this event with other local non-profits who serve similar missions We are thrilled to announce that this year's tournament will benefit the Wilmington chapter of Welcome Home Angel

Why Welcome Home Angel? Founded in Wilmington in 2007, Welcome Home Angel's hyper-local mission serves families and children in Southeastern NC, providing joy and relief through customized space transformations for children with special healthcare needs From aesthetic sensory rooms to wheelchairaccessible bathrooms, WHA's impact allows caregivers to provide safer care in their own home, where children can focus on being a kid instead of their diagnosis With design teams comprised of volunteers, therapists, interior designers, and contractors, each room is customized to the child's needs

100% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE TOURNAMENT WILL SERVE LOCAL CHILDREN IN THE WILMINGTON AREA

COOKIE OF THE MONTH Fruit & Nut Cookie

Recipe by Greg Lyons

Thank you to Greg Lyons, Executive Sous Chef at Wakefield Plantation for sharing this cookie recipe with us! This is what he had to say "This cookie is my great-grandmother’s fruit and nut cookie that my mother loved growing up It’s an “old school” recipe, which, probably came from her family My mother remembers her Pappy cracking and picking the walnuts, and remembers that her Gram would put the cookies in a lard can, covered with a cloth soaked in cheap wine to keep the cookies moist, and also to keep my mother out of the cookies, because the lard cans were too hard to open Filled with pecans, candied fruits, and dates, these cookies can take on any add-ons you'd like, from red and green cherries or dates to chopped dried apricots, tart cherries, and/or currants " Yields Approximately 48 count

Ingredients

3/4 Cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, sifted

1/4 TSP Salt

1 TSP Baking Soda, dissolved in 1/4 Cup Warm Water

1 Cup Pecans or Walnuts, chopped lightly

1 Cup Candied Cherries, red and/or green, chopped

Directions

1 Cup Candied Pineapple, chopped

1/2 LB Raisins, regular or golden

1/2 TSP Cinnamon

1/4 TSP Cloves

Zested Lemon and Juice of 1/2 Lemon

2 TBSP Flour to dredge onto Fruit

Shot Glass of Wine

Put about 2 tablespoons of flour in a bowl and toss in the fruit and nuts

Place the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl and cream with paddle attachment until light and fluffy Add the eggs and beat until well blended Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the baking soda mixture and wine until a moist dough has formed

Add the floured fruits and nuts into the batter and fold until well combined.

Drop the batter onto parchment paper lined baking sheets using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Leave about 1½ inches of space between cookies

Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are browned The cooking time will depend on the size of the cookies

MGA CUP COMPETITION REMINDER

This is a reminder that we are beyond the mid-point of the 2023 MGA Cup Competition The MGA Cup Program and Playoff format are described in detail on the PNCC website, and on the Golf Genius website

From the PNCC home page, go to the Golf pull-down menu, open Porters Neck MGA and scroll down to 2023 MGA CUP FORMAT

From Golf Genius, open 2023 MGA/Member Portal, then go to Home and scroll down to 2023 MGA CUP FORMAT

Here are some main points to keep in mind:

There are a number of competitive events in which members can earn points that count toward qualifying for the MGA Cup Playoffs in addition to Wednesday MGA days The last chance to earn points will be the Two-Man Dogfight on November 4th and 5th The MGA Cup Playoff will take place on November 11th and 12th Twenty four golfers with the highest point totals will participate in the playoff No substitutions will be made in the event someone is not available If you are in this group but can only play one day, do it! You can still move up in the standings if you have a good day (think Viktor Hovland)! If you are in the top 24 members competing for the MGA Cup, or aspire to be, plan ahead! Identify those future events that you can participate in and put them on your calendar Adjust vacation schedules, if feasible Remember, there is a lot of movement in the last few weeks before the deadline
