This is my final President’s Message, and there is not nearly enough space on this page or in the magazine to thank everyone for making the last two years an enjoyable, meaningful and fun experience. It truly has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the 49th President of the Princess Anne and to work alongside so many talented Team and Board members. The biggest takeaway from my tenure has been a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for, how dedicated our PACC Team Members are, how challenging their jobs can be and how hard they work every day to make our Club the premier private Club in this region and beyond. I began my two-year term expecting to be bombarded with late night calls and friendly suggestions about improving our Club. While these occurrences were rare (except for the incessant demand for PBR in the Chesapeake by a certain member), they were far eclipsed by positive feedback and encouraging comment cards that confirmed to me how fortunate our 1,100 members are to have an Operations Team focused on delivering a unique experience for each of us every time we step onto the campus.

I have been blessed to serve on a Board composed of exceptionally gifted people who have consistently brought energy and ideas to our meetings. We have focused heavily on the Club’s future, realizing that in this challenging environment for private clubs, we must evolve to stay relevant and to attract the next generation of PACC families. We have discussed how to accomplish this mission at virtually every Executive Committee and full Board meeting. I am indebted to Pat Shuler, our Treasurer, Chris Fanney, our Vice-President, and Les Watson, our Secretary Emeritus, for the countless hours of service they have given our Club and for their friendship. I also wish to thank all of our voluntary Board members for taking the time to not only serve, but also to remain engaged as we have studied the important issues that will shape the future of our Club.

Finally, I must express my gratitude to a truly special gentleman who seems to have an infinite supply of kindness, patience and humility, Bill Shonk. Our many meetings and telephone conversations about “Clubdom” and too many other topics to list in this column, will be missed. Bill has built an exceptional team with talent and depth here at the PACC. Jenn Garrott, Kristen Bunting, Cathie Havrilesky, Matt Liebler, Matt Boyce, John Fraser, Andrea Pettay, Geoff Benson, Mardy Colling, Steve Layden, McCall Andy and the entire Operations Team do an amazing job for us all. Our Club remains in very capable hands with our new President, Chris Fanney, and Vice-President, Susan Pender, along with an outstanding Board. Thank you again for allowing me to serve and for your faithful support of our Club.

With best wishes,

Jonathan L. Thornton

Up-to-Date from the General Manager

As I scribe this column in early October, we are preparing for the November 1st Annual Membership Meeting where new Directors and Officers will be elected. While we look forward to welcoming these new leaders (please see page 6 for details), I very much wish to recognize and thank outgoing Directors Trey Braithwaite, David Burton, Doug Russell, Sam Steingold and President Jon Thornton. Each of these Directors have served the Princess Anne faithfully as committee chairs and provided valuable leadership that has truly made a difference. Mr. Braithwaite chaired our Fitness Committee these past three years, leading with a no-nonsense, can-do approach that buoyed programming and fitness revenues dramatically during his tenure. We frequently sought and David Burton generously shared his legal wisdom (particularly employment law counsel) over the past three years. As Golf Committee Chair, Mr. Burton transitioned our new Golf Operations Team, empowered a proactive Handicap Committee and thoughtfully considered and gently molded numerous golf and other Club issues. Membership Committee Chair Doug Russell capably led his critical Committee through a wide range of confidentially delicate issues. His vision and passion to enhance the Club into the future while honoring the Princess Anne’s special traditions are invaluable to our Board and Team. Mr. Sam Steingold strategically focused our Finance Committee, Board and Operations Team on numerous fiscally significant Member benefit and facility maintenance capital investment priorities as well as revenue generating initiatives. I am so grateful for his financial acumen, exceptional leadership and personal guidance through the Club’s refinancing. If you have a chance to personally reach out to these devoted volunteers I encourage you to extend congratulations and appreciation.

There is not enough room on this page for me to fully scribe my deep gratitude and recognize the remarkable service of outgoing President Jon Thornton. Very few realize the unique demands put upon a private club volunteer president and President Thornton has met each one with a thoroughly conscientious open mind and special grace. He thoughtfully approached and fully vetted every issue – always without any agenda or preconceived notion. His wisdom and positive team leadership style has guided the Princess Anne Family masterfully these past two years. A former quarterback, President (QB1) Thornton converted the master plan game plan into the Chesapeake Room and his inclusive, tireless leadership and has set the table for PACC 20/20 & Beyond. His connection with the Board, our Team and the Princess Anne Family is inspiring! Jon, I will forever be grateful for your mentoring and friendship and treasure our talks about family, faith and football. It is my hope that in the days ahead the Princess Anne Family can fully express our gratitude to you, Kelly, Jessica, Ellie, Brooke, Riggins and the Thornton Family. The holiday season is just around the corner and this issue highlights our holiday festivities. Please make plans today to enjoy your Club this special time of year. On behalf of our Princess Anne Family of Membership and Operations Team I wish you and your family a joyous and safe holiday season! See you at the Princess Anne!

New Princess Anne Living Feature:

Hobby Highlights

We have some amazingly talented members at the PACC! From musicians, to artists, to culinary masters and beyond, we are always so impressed to see and hear of your wonderful accomplishments! We want to share these personal pastimes in a new segment called Hobby Highlights.

Please reach out to Marketing & Communications Director Kristen Bunting at kbunting@princessannecc.com to share photos and brief stories about your passion. We can’t wait to learn more about you!

Dr. Stanley Mason | Artist

My father had a masters in fine art and although he didn't use that degree to earn a living, he was a wonderful watercolorist. Growing up, I paid little attention to art as I was involved in sports and other activities and took another direction in science to became an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, practicing here for 37 years. Upon retirement, I decided to attempt to utilize my right brain versus my left and follow in my father’s footsteps by beginning to paint in 2016 at the Virginia Beach School of Art and Gallery under the supervision of Simone. Simone teaches the only French atelier style in the area. If you’re looking to engage your creative side, consider trying art. It’s been a wonderful, satisfying endeavor for me with much improvement. One can’t play golf every day.

Membership Matters

Mr. Gary Beck

I have enjoyed cooking and entertaining all my life. I learned to cook from my mother who was never afraid to try something new in the kitchen. I planted my first vegetable garden 30 years ago and a lot of what I cook depends on what is coming out of the garden at any given time of the year. I too enjoy trying new recipes all the time and invariably tweak them one way or another. I particularly like preparing ethnic food from Southeast Asian to Indian, Mexican and Middle Eastern, among other cuisines. I hope you enjoy one of my favorite dishes!

PACC 20/20 & Beyond

Master Plan Master Plan Update

As this issue of Princess Anne Living is being produced, the Board of Directors has recommended the PACC 20/20 & Beyond plan to voting members for their approval at the November 1 Annual Meeting.

This strategic action plan includes significant enhancements to our Club over the next six years, including:

• A complete renovation of our aquatics complex, which will feature a new resort-style swimming pool with zero/beach entry, children’s water features, cabana bar, shade structures, resort-style furniture, an attractive entry building and family restrooms;

• The acquisition and renovation of the property at 3901 Holly Road, which will be converted to the “Holly Beach Bungalow” and made available for overnight accommodations for Members and their guests;

• A new youth room in the clubhouse designed specifically as a retreat for young ladies and gentlemen to include computers, gaming systems, table games, lounge furniture and more;

• Tennis and pickleball enhancements including court 8 being converted to two pickleball courts;

• The completion of our conversion to Better Billy Bunkers on our golf course;

• Other golf course improvements that may include the addition of a putting green adjacent to the driving range as well as an enhanced short game practice area and cart path improvements;

• An indoor golf simulator/instructional center; and,

• A refreshing of the Linkhorn Lounge bar area to develop an elegant “bourbon bar” atmosphere.

To develop this plan, the Board worked diligently over the past two years with various Club Committees, a Master Planning Committee, the Building Committee and our Operations Team in consultation with architectural, engineering and design professionals. The collaborative group utilized input from the 2016 Member Survey, nationwide club trends and multiple studies, to ensure that this plan encompasses projects that will best serve our current and future members.

Rather than reach out to our membership for an up-front investment, it is the goal of the Board and Operations Team to fund PACC 20/20 & Beyond through our monthly capital fees and bank financing. Fiscal year 2019 was an exceptional year financially for the Club, with the Chesapeake Room renovation, enhancements to the indoor tennis facility, and significant number of new members, contributing to that success. The Board is confident that continued strong performance will allow us to fund the PACC 20/20 & Beyond in a fiscally responsible and strategic manner. The only request of you is that you continue to enjoy your Club and encourage your friends, family and colleagues to join the PACC family.

The Golden Rules

Golf Rules Around Town

Dear Rules Guru: I have played in local tournaments recently and have had the pleasure to watch a tournament on my home course. I’m amazed at the rules situations that arise and the importance of having rules officials on call.

Question 1: Twice I saw players on our course who had an unplayable ball in a bunker. The player could not hit the ball and needed to take relief. Please explain the options. Is there an option that allows the player to take the ball out of the bunker?

There are now four options in taking unplayable ball relief when the ball is in a bunker. Two options are in the bunker and two are outside the bunker.

1. Measure two club lengths from the ball, no closer to the hole, and drop a ball in the bunker. One penalty stroke.

2. Keeping the spot where the ball lies in line with the flagstick, drop anywhere within one club length of that line, but the drop must be in the bunker. One penalty stroke.

3. Play from where the shot was made, whether this spot is in the bunker or out of the bunker. One penalty stroke.

4. Keeping the spot where the ball lies in line with the flagstick, drop anywhere within one club length from that line outside the bunker as far behind the ball as the player chooses. Two penalty strokes. Rule 19.

Question 2: At another course there was a local rule that defines the Out of Bounds Boundary by split rail fencing that parallels or borders the hole. What part of the split rail fence defined the out of bounds?

When the out of bounds edge is defined by a fence, the boundary is defined by a line between the course side points of the fence posts at ground level. The fence posts themselves are out of bounds. Other parts of the fence, such as cross rails are irrelevant. There is no free relief from the boundary fence and the rails may not be moved.

The Golden Rules of Golf Will Set You Free.

Question 3: The competitors were playing “ready golf” in order to keep up the Pace of Play. Two players accidently hit their approach shots at the same time. The balls collided on the green and came to rest on the green! What’s the ruling on that?

There is no penalty to anyone and both balls are played as they lie. Rule 11.

Question 4: My friend was playing in a local match- play tournament. She was on a par three hitting over the water. Sadly, her ball landed in the fairway and rolled back into the water. (It was marked as a penalty area with yellow lines.) Her opponent, who was a member of the course, mistakenly gave her incorrect information as to the Rules. She said since it landed on the fairway first and then went into the water, that it could be treated as a red penalty area; and she was allowed to take her ball two club lengths on the green side of the water, no closer to the hole. They both agreed, proceeded to hit their balls and soon moved on to the next hole. But, a concerned player who was looking on called the pro shop and reported the infraction. What’s the ruling here?

In a match, with no referee assigned to the match, the agreement between the players is final even if it turns out to be wrong under the Rules, so long as the players did not deliberately agree to ignore a Rule or penalty that they knew

applied. No other player or referee has any authority to intervene unless requested by

From the Gallery – Questions from our Members

I played with a friend the other day who said that her index was now 29, so she was going to start taking a max of “8” instead of her usual “9” strokes when her index was 30. I think maybe she did not understand the difference between her index and what her “handicap” is for the course. How do you find out what your “handicap” is for the course?

A "Handicap Index" is the USGA's service mark used to indicate a measurement of a player's potential ability on a course of standard playing difficulty. It is expressed as a number taken to one decimal place (e.g., 10.4) and is used for conversion to a Course Handicap.

The "Course Handicap" is the USGA's mark that indicates the number of handicap strokes a player receives from a specific set of tees at the course being played to adjust the player's scoring ability to the level of scratch or zero-handicap golf. A Course Handicap is determined by applying the player's Handicap Index to a course Handicap Table

The maximum score a player can post on a hole is determined by the course handicap not the handicap index.

Princess Anne has three places to look up the course handicap: 1) the computer in the pro shop; 2) a chart near the computer; 3) a chart on the wall of the driving range shed. Your course handicap may vary depending on which tees you play from that day. Your handicap index is revised on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Tennis

John’s Tip of the Month

We all know that your elbow should be bent on a forehand volley in order for you to be able to “jab” your racquet forward towards the ball. It’s the elbow position in relation to your body though that’s critical in you being able to hit it crisply and firmly. The elbow should in fact be tucked in, close to where your stomach is in front of your body, which keeps you from taking any backswing, giving you racquet head stability and a much more connected feel. Too much “swinging” on volleys is probably the most common flaw recreational players are plagued with so focusing on your elbow position will definitely cure you of that.

Jr. Country Club Cup

We took eight of the best junior tennis players from our program to compete in the Jr. Country Club Cup at the Country Club of Virginia (CCV). There are four clubs involved in this event with each team made up of one girl and one boy from each age group 12’s through 18’s. The players participate in singles and mixed doubles matches and each game won goes towards their team total. The team who wins the highest number of games wins the Cup. Our team fought hard, but fell short to CCV and ended up finishing in a two-way tie for second with Farmington CC. Nor folk Yacht took third. Here was our line-up:

Girls – Emma Hugo (G18s) Alexandra Kerr (G16s), Andersen Legum (G14s) & Grayson White (G12s)

Boys – Ashton Legum (B18s), Aidan O’Connor (B16s), Alex Ortiz (B14s), & Jackson Perkins (B12s)

We are proud of our junior players for being a part of Team PACC and giving it all they had including having outstanding sportsmanship!

Fall Open Junior L5 USTA Tournament

We had another great junior tournament with 50 players total and quite a few of our PACC junior players. The Cavalier Hotel was a new sponsor this year and Bakers Crust provided a lovely lunch for the players on Saturday. We lucked out with the weather so everything ran smoothly. Congratulations to our own Joseph Hobbs for winning the Boys 14’s Division as well as getting 2nd place in the Boys 16’s as a 13 year old. Ashton Legum won the Consolation Finals in the Boys 18’s. Another PACC junior player, Matthew Engel, was a semi-finalist in the Boys 14’s.

2019 Senior Tidewater Cup

It was a tough day at our 10th Annual Senior Tidewater Cup where we had our best senior men (60 and over) attempting to defend our Cup against three other area clubs, Norfolk Yacht, Elizabeth Manor and VBTCC. Many of the matches were budgeted to go 90 minutes, but took two and a half hours which just goes to show how competitive this event has been. Having said that, Elizabeth Manor dominated the event winning all 10 of their matches! The rest of us tied with three wins a piece which then we go to “number of sets lost” to break the tie. This put NYCC in 2nd place putting us tied for 3rd with VBTCC in which case we then look at “head to head” wins between the remaining two teams and wouldn’t you know we won that 2 to 1 placing us squarely in 3rd and VBTCC 4th. Can’t win ‘em all is what we took away from it and you can rest assured this team will double their efforts to regain

2019 Spindle Cup

What an amazing Spindle Cup weekend it was with our ladies finishing up with our 5th win in seven years! It started with four singles matches on Saturday morning where we swept without dropping a set before going into doubles after lunch. Continuing where we left off we swept the four doubles courts too although three of them went the distance. There have been very few years in Spindle Cup’s illustrious history where a club has won all eight matches on the first day. Going into Sunday we knew we were going to have much tougher matches since winners play winners from Saturday. Even with that we were still able to

and three out of the four doubles to win the Cup. A huge congrats

PRACTICING GRATITUDE

In an interview with author Gretchen Rubin, author and University of Houston research professor Brené Brown said, “I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness — it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.” Brown’s philosophy wasn’t wrong, at least not according to research. Studies show that the more you express thanks, the happier you are.

Join us this November for our 30-day Gratitude Challenge. Set aside five minutes each day to meditate or reflect on what you are grateful for and see if you can make it a habit. Try taking time to write it down or even to spread the gratefulness to someone else.

The Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

Cullen-Huls

The foundation of all standing poses, Mountain Pose makes a great starting position, resting pose or tool to improve posture. It seems basic, but it can change your life. I do this whenever I am standing in line…anywhere!

• Stand with toes facing forward, from close to hip-width apart.

• Pull feet away from one another, energizing your legs, knees soft.

• Point tail bone down (hips neutral).

• Pull navel in and up.

• Roll shoulders back and down.

• Open the chest. Breathe deeply.

• Chin level. Top of head lifts gently.
