D
ecember 1, 2009, was my one year anniversary as General Manager at Shady Canyon Golf Club! As I have previously mentioned, the first two years following a transition from a developer-owned club to a member-owned club are the most challenging. I was well aware the first year at the Club was going to be eventful and complex, especially when you add the declining financial status of the economy to the mix; Shady Canyon did not disappoint. As a result of the transition, the Club is undergoing numerous changes; several of them began the implementation process these past few weeks. Fortunately, Shady Canyon is handling the transition well, not because it is a wealthy club, but because it is being governed and managed properly. The Board of Directors of private clubs are faced with making numerous decisions that are often not pleasant, nor are they met with overall membership approval. All decisions are made with careful consideration and are always in the best interest of the Membership at large. One of those difficult decisions is the turf transition project to Bermuda Princess 77. The current conditions and long term effects make the decision to convert the most logical. In an effort to provide the turf with optimal growing conditions and maintain uniformity throughout the course, the closure over the summer is the soundest option. The Board, the staff and I are working towards making the closure as tolerable as possible for the Membership by devising ways to reduce costs, increase member use of the Club, and maintain the staff during the closure. This is truly a balancing act for all concerned and is receiving the attention and due diligence it deserves. I have received many calls and email on the proposed bylaw changes addressing the float sales system and minimum transfer fee rate. This decision is in the hands of the Membership. With many first time private club members, this topic is not of common place. It can be a little confusing, even for veterans of the private club world. Please do not hesitate to ask the questions you need answers to and encourage you to speak with me if you have concerns. Steve

Members’ Patio Expansion Project, Tournament & Auction
The recently held Patio Expansion Project golf tournament and auction was a huge success, with 116 participants playing in the event. 27% of the Regular Membership indicated their support for the project along with many others who donated auction items and financial contributions. In brief the event generated $268,000.00 from a combination of financial contributions, silent auction items, live auction items and the entrance fees for the event. Thank you, to all who played a part in this most successful event. The question being asked is; “When do we start?” The construction plans are complete, are out for bids presently and are being submitted for the building permit. The most difficult part will be selecting the builder, once that is done we will begin construction as soon as possible. Check your weekly email announcements and website for recent and upcoming information. Steve Buck

agronomy
W
ith the El Nino condition strengthening I am hopeful that it is raining as you read this article. We have been experiencing a record breaking drought in the Southwest in the last few years. The result of irrigating the golf course with reclaimed water coupled with heavy clay soils has taken its toll on the health of the turf. We desperately need some leaching rain events to come our way.
By: David Major, Director of Agronomy
This is the main reason for the fairway conversion project that will allow us to get away from the overseeding each fall with rye that cannot tolerate the high sodium conditions. With the new Bermuda fairways we can expect a much healthier turf with the ability to keep the invasive Poa annua grass in check. There are some new herbicide products that we can apply to keep the Bermuda a pure stand of turf. This condition will give the fairways an improved playing surface with improved salt tolerance and cart traffic wearability. The current look and playability of the right side of #3 fairway is not what you can expect once the project is completed. This area is a test area and is being mowed at a higher height of cut for two reasons. First
we have kept it at the same height as the left side of the fairway for mowing simplicity. The second and more important reason is to let the new turf develop a thick stand (above and below ground stems) that can rejuvenate new plants in the spring. Once the Princess 77 Bermuda is actively growing in the spring we will be mowing it at a lower height of cut and using plant growth regulators. This will tighten up the turf canopy giving an excellent level playing surface. Remember the most important reason for the change is improved turf coverage and playing condition of the fairways. I realize that it may take some getting use to. The only down side is off color turf during the cold months of the year. The trade off is a superior playing surface during the busy golfing months of the year. In addition we will only be overseeding the tees, roughs and green surrounds in the fall. This look when the Bermuda is dormant will be stunning. I am looking forward to the project and the improvement of the fairways so our reputation as one of the top clubs in the country will continue to grow! May all your putts be one!

tournament results
The 2009 Couples Club Championship came to a close and although it was a little windy during the round, the field was still able to produce very low scores. The Overall Net Champions were Debi and Rusty Brown and their score of 60 was four shots better than the field. The Overall Gross Champions were Nicole and Eoin Middaugh and their score of even par 71 was only one shot better than the field but good enough for the title. Both Couples will have their names engraved on the Perpetual Trophy and Panel. Please congratulate the Brown’s and the Middaugh’s if you see them at the Club.
The Final Ladies Guest Day of 2009 took place on Tuesday, December 1st. The field consisted of 16 teams (72 players) and they were all treated to great weather, a wonderful golf course and a challenging format. The Net Champions for the day were Cindy McMackin and her guests Bonnie Martin, Suzanne Mardock and Carol McMackin. The Gross Champions for the day were Sherry Alexander and her guests Joyce Chung, Annie Chung and Susie Na.
The Men’s 2009 Highlander Member/Guest took place on Friday and Saturday, December 4th and 5th. On Friday, the field was treated to wonderful weather and with the Best Ball format, the scores were very low. The two teams in the lead after Friday’s round were Ron McMackin and his guest Channing Tam and Bill Comrie and his guest Kris Thabit.
The 2009 Ladies’ Presents’ Cup was held on Tuesday, December 22nd. Although this was the first time for the event, it was very well received. The field was comprised of eight teams of 4 (32 players). The format was also very challenging as it consisted of three separate competitions: six holes played as two best balls using the shamble format another six holes played as one best ball and six holes were played as a scramble format. The scoring for the event was also very competitive as the lowest team score was only ten shots better than the highest score. The winning team was Debe Brown, Robin Elliott, Christina Bak and Lisa Gibson.
On Saturday, both the weather and format changed. The weather turned cool and windy and the format became “Scotch” Alternate Shot which is much more difficult. After the scores were all tallied, the Champions were crowned. The Gross Champions were Bill Mitchell and his guest Boyd Martin. The Highlander Champions were Pawan Seth and his guest Deepak Nanda. 9

Birthday Celebrations at Any Age!
By: B y: Alexis Wensman, Catering Director Many Members choose the Club as the place to host their family birthday celebrations. From intimate dinners with a few close friends, to large celebrations, I enjoy assisting with the planning and preparation to find your perfect theme. For some, I might suggest turning the Private Dining Room into a dance club. With spectacular lighting, lounge furniture, a great DJ and wonderful food the night is sure to be exciting. We have a long list of DJs and bands to recommend. Some of the DJ’s are perfect for children’s parties and come ready to entertain the children. This theme is perfect for sweet 16 parties and up! Want to have a “ladies only” birthday celebration? How about a Spa Luncheon poolside? Imagine as your guests arrive they are offered a wonderful libation. Each guest then chooses from a variety of luxurious spa treatments. (My personal favorite is the caviar facial) Chef Dominique would prepare healthy choices for lunch, while the ladies enjoy their treatments. This is also a fun idea for bridal luncheons. “Still swinging at 84” was the heading of a recent birthday celebration. What could be more perfect than a golf theme, complete with a themed cake made especially for you by our pastry chef, Marilyn Robson. A video montage to share memories of a lifetime is the perfect entertainment. Children’s parties open up a cornucopia of theme ideas. How about 20 tons of snow brought in for a sledding party? Santa and his horse drawn sleigh giving rides around the club! Perfect! Children also delight in parties on the Great Lawn; we have had pig races, water slides, obstacle courses, wild animal shows, etc. One new idea was to offer a junior golf clinic for a young boy’s birthday. Mike Davis, our Resident Teaching Professional, set everything up and each child got a chance to experience golf.

Insight into the Club’s Operation
T
he Town Hall Meeting, held November 22, 2009, provided the attending Members the opportunity to have their questions addressed and express concerns in regards to the upcoming changes of the Club. While reviewing the budget for 2010, the Club’s food and beverage operation generated interest amongst the Membership. I announced the Club runs it’s food and beverage operation at a loss; since then I have received several emails and calls inquiring how or why that is; some have recommended I speak with Members who have been in the restaurant business and can help with this state of affairs.
I have been asked if I can run the food and beverage operation at breakeven or for a profit. I can easily do so, at any level of profitability directed, the Membership simply would not tolerate the changes required. Few clubs operate in the black, such as my previous club; they are able to do so as a result of pure volume of numbers and supplemental banquet business.
I appreciate the concerns and ideas. It is important to keep in mind the food and beverage operation of private clubs is not comparable to the restaurant business as most know it. Challenges presented to the Club that restaurants don’t face are as follows:
Your dues provide the revenue which allows you to have the dining facilities open any time you wish to use them, pay below market prices based on food and beverage costs, have a higher level of staffing as compared to restaurants, high end facilities, and use top of the line linens, silverware, china, glassware and furnishings.
•
We have a limited number of patrons, approximately 520 families.
•
We are open based on a schedule, not open based on demand- we remain open at all times whether business is coming in or not. We operate a Golf Snack Bar, Pool Snack Bar, Men’s Grill, Mixed Grill and Banquets with very limited space. Again all with 520 families to draw from. We price food & beverage based on Member tolerance not on a financial basis. We purchase only the best products. The current facilities were designed for retirees and not the average age of fiftytwo, which we currently have, or for the number of children our Members have under the age of 18 which is in excess of 500.
• • • •
There are certainly steps we could take to increase use, but keep in mind for every action in one direction there is a reaction in the other direction. The operation cannot be all things to all Members.

SHADY THE MEMBERS’ MAGAZINE
There is always room for improvements and we are open to change; but it has to be done without negatively affecting the overall approval rating of the Membership at large. I hope this insight assists you in understanding our operation better. As previously mentioned, I am willing to sit down with any Member and review our operation or financials.

Gingerbread House Decorating Recap Once again, the Gingerbread House Decorating proved to be one of the most popular childrens’ events of the year. With the addition of a 4th seating, over 100 children took part in the crafts. The children decorated pre-made houses with colorful frosting and candy galore – much of it, we’re sure, ended up in the mouths of your hungry ones. Santa stopped by for a visit and listened to the many gift requests while posing for photos. After the houses were completed, families gathered together to enjoy a holiday inspired buffet, complete with, yes, even more holiday sweets! Please take the time to view the photos of the event on the website and download your favorites.
