As we all know, Timuquana is a very special place. Sometimes I take certain things for granted and don’t appreciate what we do have.

department heads have also executed at a high level, and all have been excellent stewards of our dues. MEMBERSHIP New membership has grown more this year than the last ten years combined. The initial run of the Preview Program was a great success, and I’m excited to see all of the new

THE USGA IS COMING TO TCC Our Club has been awarded the 5th annual Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship, and the event is right around the corner. The dates of the tournament are from April 26 to May 1, 2019. Below you will find answers to some frequently asked questions that we have received about the tournament, and its impact to the Club. More details will be made available in the January/February edition of the bulletin and on our website as the tournament draws nearer. HOW WAS THE CLUB CHOSEN? Timuquana hosted a United States Golf Association (USGA) championship in 2002 — the Men’s Senior Amateur — and, in 2011, the Board decided to apply for another. Through our Club’s USGA representative, past president Tom Dudley, along with member and amateur champion, Steve Melnyk, we received encouragement from the USGA, and they accepted our application for another championship. In 2015, we were awarded the Women’s Amateur Four-Ball. WHO’S PLAYING? We won’t know until about a month prior because qualifying is ongoing at various sites around the nation. There will be 64 teams (128 players), plus caddies and families. There are 30 qualifying sites, and all are open to any female amateur with a handicap of no more than 14.4. There will be a number of college players, likely including defending champions Katrina Prendergast and Ellen Secor of Colorado State. There will also be older players - and one, well-regarded team in which the past two Women’s MidAmateur champions have teamed-up; Kelsey Chugg of Salt Lake City and Julia Potter of Indianapolis. WHAT’S A FOUR-BALL? It’s also called “better ball of pairs.” Each player plays her own ball, and teams record the best score made by either. WHEN IS IT? The match play dates are April 29 through May 1. Qualifying on April 27 and 28. Competitors can play practice rounds on April 25 and 26. HOW DO THEY PLAY? The field will be cut to 32 teams after 36 holes of stroke play qualifying on Saturday and Sunday. If a playoff for the final spots is needed, it will be held

S E P T E M B E R /O C TO B E R 2 0 1 8

either after play on Sunday, or early on Monday. There will be 16 matches on Monday with the first tee time around 8:00 am. On Tuesday, there will be 8 matches in the morning, and 4 in the afternoon. On Wednesday, the semifinals will be in the morning and the final in the afternoon. HOW WILL THIS IMPACT THE COURSE & CLUB? The tournament will have an impact on the course and Club facilities. The USGA has asked that the Club be restricted to cart paths only, effective April 9. The course will then be closed to all member play starting Wednesday, April 24 through Wednesday, May 1. The Club and golf course will reopen May 2 at 10:30 am. We are working on a number of local reciprocal arrangements during this time. Those will be posted online and in future Club bulletins. The Club’s lobby, locker rooms, River Room, 19th Hole, and all banquet space will be utilized by the USGA. The 19th Hole will be unavailable starting Friday, April 19, as this will be the USGA’s main office. We will, however, continue with member dining with normal hours of operation in the Pow Wow Room, and anticipate having the new pool facility and dining area also available during this time (construction dependent). Lastly, our Fitness Center will be open during the tournament with normal hours of operation with the exception all group ex classes, as that facility will be home to the USGA medical office. HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE? There will be many opportunities, including such things as volunteering to help with the competition, housing our visitors, and serving as a caddie. There will be more than 15 committees, and all will need volunteers. WHEN CAN I SIGN-UP? You will get full information around the first of the year through the bulletin, emails, and signage at the Clubhouse. WHO’S IN CHARGE? The USGA conducts the competition and will have staff here. The Club’s co-chairs are Leslie Sirbaugh and Nick Napoleon, who will coordinate volunteers and the Club activities. Each committee will also have chairs. CONTRIBUTIONS In order to execute the tournament, the Club is financially responsible for hosting the Sunday Night party, rental equipment, transportation and other activities. The Club has setup a tax deductible program with the Jacksonville Sports Council for donations. Should you wish to donate to the tournament, please contact Greg Sheara, General Manager. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support of this exciting event. QUESTIONS? If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Greg Sheara, General Manager.

FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER The holiday season is again upon us, and soon the Club will be adorned with Christmas decorations. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, you will find a wealth of programs and special event offerings for one and all. Please take the time to enjoy this edition of the bulletin and all it has to offer. This is also the time of year that the staff enjoys the warmth of the membership’s generosity through the annual

Christmas Fund. This wonderful Club tradition means a great deal to all of our employees, whether they have been with us for a short time, or as you will see below, for several decades. As is tradition, we will take the opportunity on January 14 at an annual employee appreciation party to recognize employees who have reached significant milestones of employment at Timuquana. Club President, Jason Burhyte, and members of the Board will be present to congratulate those employees achieving these important years of service. Below are the names, along with their years of service, of the 2018 recipients. Please make special note of the three employees who achieved service milestones of 20 years or more this year! Billy McKenzie - 30 Ellis Jones - 25 Maurice Edwards - 25 Lewis Walker - 15 Renato “Rambo “ Vergara - 15 Kathryn “Kitty” Crawford - 10 Justin Fontaine - 10 John Baldwin - 5 Samuel Whitt - 5 Maria Mangalindan - 5 Dawn Cavanaugh - 5 Again, on behalf of the staff of the Club, thank you for your generosity this Christmas season and for your support all year long. We hope you enjoy the many Club offerings available to you this winter. Greg Sheara, CCM General Manager gsheara@timuquana.net

Singles and twosomes may run into the set-up team so please allow them to complete their routine without interruption. 2) Our outside services team will continue to keep our range and chipping areas neat and clean, but you can help by raking golf balls off the chipping green after you finish practicing and standing the den caddies upright whenever you see them laying on the ground. 3) Our first tee area can get crowded during busy periods.

YOUR HEALTH

MAINTAIN - DON’T GAIN HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN

The last two months of the year are always filled with family, friends, food, and other fun holiday activities and events. During November and December, we are encouraging our members to continue to exercise with consistency during all the holiday outings in an effort keep the winter pounds at bay. Each week, the Tanita scale will be available to track your biometrics through the holidays. The Tanita is a bioelectrical impedance machine that analyzes your body composition through fat percentage, fat-free mass, fat mass, muscle mass, total body water, basal metabolic rate, and your overall metabolic age. For the most accurate results, it is recommended that you stay hydrated and measure yourself on the same day and time each week. We look forward to working with you during the holidays!

WORKOUT OF THE DAY (WOD)

WOD

To assist you during the holiday season, our trainers will be creating a daily workout of the day (WOD). The WOD will be posted on one of the columns outside of the Fitness Center office. These workouts will include upper body, lower body, core, and cardio components to them. To stay in the best shape, your body requires a variety of fitness workout routines to adapt confidently in a constant changing environment. These workouts are for the beginner, as well as the fitness enthusiast, as they will challenge you and place demands on your muscles and joints to build strength, stamina, and endurance. Break out

TOP 4 REASONS

FITNESS

TO CONSIDER GROUP EXERCISE

Social Opportunities

Attending a group fitness class gets you up off the couch and out of the same four walls of your home to meet people in your community. You are likely to have more fun exercising in a group than working out on your own. Fitness classes are a wonderful place to meet people who have similar lifestyle goals and needs. Make friends, have adult conversations, and discover solutions to problems as you talk with other participants before and after class.

Motivation Boost Participating in a group exercise class challenges you to work out beyond your perceived limitations. The instructor observes your body for signs of fatigue and pushes you to your limits. You are likely to work out harder than you would on your own, as everyone is exercising toward the same goal. A group fitness instructor explains the benefits of each exercise, which increases your reasons to complete the workout and keeps you returning to class.

Health and Form Benefits Group exercise classes are available in a variety of workout styles. If your goals are cardiovascular improvement and weight loss, select aerobic-based classes such as Cardio Blast, indoor cycling, or circuit/hiit training. Select FLEXX IT, Power Pump or Boot Camp classes if you also want to improve your muscular endurance and strength. If flexibility and postural alignment is your goal, a stretching, yoga, or pilates flow class is a nice option.

Accountability Support A group exercise setting helps keep you accountable to attend the class. When the instructor and other participants ask why you were absent, they generally are concerned for your well-being, and you will not want to have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sat on the couchâ&#x20AC;? answer.

DINING ROOM SUPERVISOR PASSES FIRST LEVEL MASTER SOMMELIER’S EXAM Please help us congratulate Leanne Groll, our Dining Room Supervisor, for successfully passing The Court of Master Sommelier’s Level 1 Exam!

The class and subsequent exam provide an intensive review by a team of Master Sommeliers on wine and spirits knowledge, proper wine service, and deductive tasting. Leanne’s knowledge will be of great benefit as we continue to enhance our wine program and our Wine Society. Please congratulate Leanne when you see her in the dining rooms!
