CLUB NEWS As we kick off the tennis and golf seasons, let's hope March and April bring us some good spring weather. Enough of the rain and cold. We have however been able to address some much needed major repairs to both pools over these winter months. Not fun projects, but very much needed, with the pools being close to 20 years old. We are excited to announce that we have added Water's Edge Country Club in Penhook, VA to the portfolio of McConnell Golf Clubs. McConnell Golf now owns 14 Private Clubs in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Please mark your calendar as The Rex Hospital Open returns to The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation May 31stJune 6th. While it is sure to look a bit different, we do not not know at this time exactly what it is going to look like.

We will provide you with more details once they become available. Hopefully sooner rather than later, we will have a better handle on the Covid-19 vaccine. You can be assured that we will be putting on fun events while continuing to host them in a safe manner. As always, we thank you for your support of the club. Be well and safe! Michael Thomas, Club Manager

Congratulations to our 2020 ~Employee of the YearMark Saharski Please join me in congratulating Mark Saharski as our 2020 Employee of the year for The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. No task is too small for Mark. With 10,000 more rounds and Covid- 19 in 2020, Mark and his Outside Operations Team had a tall order in front of them. His leadership and dedication to the club and to our members really stood out. His two 4:00 am stake outs to catch a couple of teenagers who were causing damage to the club demonstrates his willingness to go above and beyond. Congratulations and Thank You Mark!

Many thanks to our members and staff for wearing red on February 5th to support the American Heart Association. Chef Todd prepared a Heart Heathy Seared Ahi Tuna Salad with a portion of all proceeds going to the American Heart Association.

EASTERN BLUEBIRD

The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation was designated as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System in 2004. It was the 15th course in North Carolina and 520th in the world to receive this honor. As apart of our wildlife and habitat program we installed 20 bluebird nesting boxes in 2003. Out of those boxes we have averaged around 100 bluebirds raised each year. The Eastern Bluebird, Sialia Sialis, is a blue songbird that is a member of the the thrush family. The Bluebird lives in the eastern half of the United States and southern Canada, ranging from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains. This songbird has a life span of about 6 years. The male Eastern Bluebird will have bright blue feathers, an orange/red throat and breast and a white belly. The females have dull blue wings and tail, gray head and back, brown breast, white belly and white eye ring. The birds range from 4.5 to 6 inches long as an adult. The bluebirds are very beneficial to our golf course. They are a natural way to help with the insect populations and are beneficial to look at and listen to. Their diet consists mainly of spiders, worms, katydids, beetles, and they especially like grasshoppers. They prefer nesting boxes in open areas with perch sites nearby. The perch sites are very important to their feeding method and allows them to look back on their house for the protection of their young. Bluebirds lay 3-5 eggs at a time and will nest 2-3 times per year. This year we are off to a great start with 18 out of 20 boxes having nesting activity and we look forward to another successful year. Every two weeks we check the boxes during the nesting season and note what we see. At the end of the season we will update you on how many Bluebirds were raised this year. So the next time you are playing the course, take a look around and see how many of our colorful friends you can see and enjoy the beauty of nature. Todd Lawrence, Director of Golf Course Maintenance

March Cookie of the Month: Crunchy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies I James R. Patterson III – Sedgefield Country Club Ever thought about your favorite things to eat and then thought “What if I combined some of these?” Cereal, Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows, Milk, Butter, see the theme here? Well the folks at Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC made this dream come true for me… here is our rendition of their Famous “Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookie”. Ingredients 8oz. Unsalted Butter, at room temperature 2/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar 1/2 TSP Vanilla Extract 1/2 TSP Baking Powder 1 ½ TSP Kosher Salt 2/3 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips

1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar 1Egg 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour 1/2 TSP Baking Soda 3 Cups Cornflake Crunch 1¼ Cups Mini Marshmallows

Instructions Using a Paddle on your Stand Mixer, combine the butter and sugars in the bowl and cream together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg and vanilla, and beat for an additional 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until the dough comes together, no longer than1 minute. (Do not walk away from the machine during this step, or you will risk over-mixing the dough.) Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Still on low speed, paddle in the cornflake crunch and mini chocolate chips just until they’re incorporated, no more than 30 to 45 seconds. Paddle in the mini marshmallows just until incorporated. Scoop and roll 1 ½ oz. dough balls and place onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Pat the tops of the cookie dough domes flat. Wrap the sheet pan tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 week. Do not bake your cookies from room temperature—they will not hold their shape. Heat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the chilled dough a minimum of 3 inches apart on parchment lined sheet pans. Bake for 14 minutes. The cookies will puff, crackle, and spread. At the 12-minute mark, the cookies should be browned on the edges and just beginning to brown toward the center. If they still seem pale and doughy on the surface, leave them in the oven for an additional minute or so. Cool the cookies completely on the sheet pans before transferring to a plate or to an airtight container for storage. At room temperature, the cookies will keep fresh for 5 days; in the freezer, they will keep for 1 month. Cornflake Crunch I Yield: About 4 Cups Ingredients 6 Ounces of Corn Flakes 3 TBSP Granulated Sugar 9 TBSP Unsalted Butter, melted

1/2 Cup of Milk Powder 1 TSP Kosher Salt

Instructions Heat the oven to 275°F. Pour the cornflakes in a medium bowl and crush them with your hands to one-quarter of their original size. Add the milk powder, sugar, and salt and toss to mix. Add the butter and toss to coat. As you toss, the butter will act as glue, binding the dry ingredients to the cereal and creating small clusters. Spread the clusters on a parchment-or-Silpat-lined sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, at which point they should look toasted, smell buttery, and crunch gently when cooled slightly and chewed. Cool the cornflake crunch completely before storing or using in a recipe. Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, the crunch will keep fresh for 1 week; in the fridge or freezer it will keep for 1 month.

TENNIS TIME Bring on the spring! Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot stand the cold weather, I am very excited for the time change in seasons ahead. But before we get into what is to come let's highlight some of the action from the last several months. As many of you know Pickleball has been on the rise at Wakefield throughout 2020 and has continued to gain popularity in this New Year. In January we hosted our very first ever Mixed Doubles Pickleball Club Championships with over 20 teams competing. After several hours of fun and competitive matches the Sanderoff crew were crowned champions of this inaugural tournament. As we look to keep the momentum rolling in our PB program in 2021 we will begin our first junior programs starting this spring. If you would like to get in on the action please give the tennis shop a call at 919-488-1930. It has been almost a year but USTA is about to be back in full force at Wakefield. March & April will once again see

packed courts with over 20 USTA junior and adult teams back in the competitive action. In March we will also play host to our first USTA junior tournament of the year. We have said it before but these tournaments are a great opportunity for our Wakefield juniors to test their skills against players from all over the state from the comfort of their own club. Also coming in March is our annual family spring social. This social is hosted by the pros and includes a morning of tennis play for juniors and adults and wraps up with a lunch cookout for the entire family. Please sign up for this kickoff social on the Wakefield event calendar. As we are still very cautious and aware of the state of COVID-19 in our community we are very excited to get back to a semi-normal spring schedule around the tennis facility. Our staff of professionals is here to help you in any way possible, so if you have any questions or are looking to dust off that racquet in the garage please give us a shout. We hope to see you on the courts soon!

TEE IT UP The Professional Staff is excited to start another golf season at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. We have an active year planned for the membership and look forward to hosting the annual events that were cancelled last year due to Covid-19. The club calendar has been updated with golf tournaments and various golf instruction programs. The golf handbook is completed and have hard copies available in the golf shop for you to pick up on your next visit to the club.

During the past year we have seen a significant increase in the number of golf rounds. As you can imagine with the increase in rounds we have seen some negative impact on the golf course conditioning due to extra golf cart traffic. The professional staff has worked with Todd Lawrence and his team to develop a system to help with the condition of the golf course. I ask that you as a member make the proper efforts to keep our course in the best possible condition, not only for yourself but the entire membership. Golfers will now notice a white stake with a green cap beside the cart path that will indicate where you are allowed to take the golf cart off the path. Once off the path, a white stake with a red cap will be located on the edge of the fairway will indicate carts must return to the path by that point of the hole. Carts must remain on the path on all the Par 3 holes (#3, #7, #11, & #14). We appreciate your support in this initiative and your willingness to do your part in maintaining the golf course to the standards that we expect at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. Our spring merchandise has started to arrive. The golf shop is stocked with the latest apparel Peter Miller, Stitch, Footjoy, Puma, and Johnnie-O. We also have all the latest golf equipment from all the major golf manufactures with full fitting equipment available from Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist, Cobra, and Ping. The professional staff truly appreciates the membership's continued support of the golf shop and look forward to offering an excellent selection of apparel and equipment in 2021.

This is our third year offering the Operation 36 instructional program at Wakefield Plantation. Operation 36 provides beginners with the most effective model and technology to learn to play golf. It is structured to help you become a skilled golfer by following a motivating roadmap to shooting Par (36) or better for 9 holes. The junior and ladies instructional programs will use Operation 36 throughout the year. The program has been a huge success and I only expect it to become bigger and better this year. The golf staff is looking forward to spring and the start of the 2021 golf season. We hope that we can return to some of our traditions and start some new ones. As always if we can assist you in anyway please don't hesitate to reach out, my door is always open! Adam McLaughlin, PGA, Director of Golf
