GOLF MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF Sean McGaughey, PGA Director of Golf What a great month here at the Clubs! We’ve had three events this month with phenomenal participation. Thank you very much to those who were able to play, and for those that missed out, we hope to see you next time. The rescheduled Norman-Fazio was held November 10 – November 11 with 40 teams in the event. The competition was tight but your Overall Gross Champions were Seaborn Grist and Jim Tichenor. Taking home the Overall Net Championship was Cody Khan and Robert the “Flash” Falanga. Congratulations gentleman! We also had our November Stag Day at Camp Creek with over 40 total players. After a heated battle with daylight we finally got our champions of Mace Ishida and Van Johnson. Way to bring it home gents! Our Turkey Shootout was held November 18 at Shark’s Tooth with great participation. We paid out the top two teams in both the gross and net divisions. Taking home the Gross Championship with a great score of 65 was the father-son team of Brian and Timothy Cook. Nicely done boys! The Net Championship was taken by the team of Barry Greer and Gary McCaghren with an awesome score of 64. Way to play gentleman!

GOLF WINTER GOLF TIP FROM THE PRO Mike Pazakis, PGA Head Golf Pro, Shark’s Tooth Golf Club As winter and the cold weather approaches, there are a couple of things you can do to help your game in the colder weather. When the temperature outside becomes cooler we have trouble completing our golf swings. That is making a full turn and then making a complete finish of the swing. We have all been on the first tee when it is cold and hit a big block to the right. This is a product of not making a full turn and not finishing the swing. To overcome this we need to be sure to stretch for a couple of minutes before we tee off and always make a full turn. Try to rotate back until your left shoulder hits under your chin and make a strong complete finish through the ball. This will help your golf game make it through the colder weather.
TOURNAMENT WINNERS November Stag Day o 1st Gross: Mace Ishida/Van Johnson o 1st Net: Greg Sheldon/David Moore o 2nd Gross: David Stuhlfire/Daryl Knight o 2nd Net: Steve Neidhart/Joe Steffan o 3rd Net: Curtis Williams/DW Smith o CTP Male Ken Scoggins o CTP Ladies Pat Futrell 8th Annual Norman/Fazio o Overall Champion: Seaborn Grist & Jim Tichenor o Overall Net: Cody Khan & Robert Falanga o Runner-up Gross: George Covellis & Tommy Cooley o Runner-up Net: Rob Hatchett & Jonathan Mitchell o Norman Flight: JC Ranelli & Paul Salter o Fazio Flight: John Ellis & Tom Balduff Turkey Shootout o Gross Champions: Brian Cook & Timothy Cook o Net Champions: Barry Greer & Gary McCaghren

CHEF’S CORNER BAKED BLT DIP
HOLIDAY TRADITIONS
A quick and simple dish all your Holiday guests will enjoy!
Christopher Waycuilis, Executive Chef Shark’s Tooth Golf Club
Ingredients:
Family Traditions:
1 pound bacon, cooked 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese 1 tomato, seeded and chopped ¼ cup chopped green onions Additional green onions, cooked bacon, tomato, and lettuce for garnish, if desired.
Pick Out A Tree Choosing and decorating a tree for the holidays is one of the most beloved holiday traditions. Load up the family in the car and take a trip to a tree farm to find just the right one and don’t forget the hot chocolate! Throw a Holiday Party Invite all of your friends, whip up the tastiest holiday recipes you can find, and enjoy the company of friends and family. Host a potluck and ask friends to bring dishes that represent their family’s traditions and cultural heritage. Wear Matching Pajamas For the whole family, of course. It’s a photo op waiting to happen.
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. 2. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Crumble bacon into mixture and stir. Add cheddar cheese, green onions, and tomato and mix well. Pour into a shallow dish or pie pan and bake for 20 minutes or until bubbling. Garnish with additional green onions, tomato, and crumbled bacon. Serve with corn chips, or toast points.
FAVORITE DISH TO PREPARE FOR THE HOLIDAYS Tim Doucet, Sous Chef Watersound Cafe My mother would usually ask me to cook some sort of protein for Christmas and my go-to is always Grade A Choice Prime Rib. I would leave it to the rest of the family to deal with side dishes, desserts, and drinks while I would prepare “the beast”. Being a larger cut of meat, its ideal for the holidays, especially if you have a carnivorous family like mine. A whole prime rib is sufficient enough to feed a party of 15 – 20 people. Preparations for my roast included dicing fresh herbs, mixing with butter, salt & pepper, and chopped garlic. If you have a large enough pan, searing the outside of the meat is recommended as it will help contain the juices before going into the oven. I like a low and slow cooking method so 4 - 8 hours (depending on size) in the oven at 200 degrees produces a tender, evenly cooked, medium rare roast sure to please all members of the family.
