COMING SOON! CLUBHOUSE RENOVATIONS
We are thrilled to announce a series of exciting upgrades to our beloved Club. This two-phase project is designed to enhance our facilities, ensuring we continue to provide a top-notch experience for all our members. This project addresses the most-mentioned topic from surveys this year, and we are committed to listening to and acting on your feedback. The funding for these improvements is coming from the capital dues we’ve been collecting this year. Below is an overview of what you can expect in the coming months.
Phase One: Café Renovation
We will kick off our improvements with a makeover of the Café. The updates include:
• New Carpet: Fresh, plush carpeting will be installed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
• New Paint: The Café will be repainted in a contemporary color scheme, adding a touch of modern elegance.
• New Bar and Stools: A stylish new bar, complete with comfortable stools, will become the centerpiece of our Café, perfect for socializing and relaxing.
This phase is scheduled to begin sometime in October and is expected to be completed in four weeks. We appreciate your
photos of the activity will assist in documenting the incident, ensuring a clear understanding of the situation. Rest assured, the member reporting the incident will remain anonymous.
Examples of reportable violations include:
Driving Carts in Off-Limit Areas: Respect roped-off zones and offlimits areas around the greens to prevent damage and maintain the course's quality.
• Driving carts in wet areas
Two-Phase project for Bar & Banquet Hall
patience during this time and are confident you will love the new look and feel of our Café.
Phase Two: Banquet Hall Upgrade
Following the Café renovation, we will turn our attention to the banquet hall. Enhancements will include:
• Updated Carpet: A new carpet will be installed to elevate the overall ambiance of the space.
• Fresh Paint: The walls will receive a fresh coat of paint, aligning with the updated aesthetic.
• New Banquet Chairs: Comfortable and stylish banquet chairs will replace the old ones, ensuring your events are both elegant and comfortable.
This phase will hopefully commence in January and is expected to take approximately four weeks. We are excited to offer an improved setting for your special events and gatherings.
We are committed to enhancing our facilities and creating a more enjoyable environment for all our members. We appreciate your support and understanding as we undertake these improvements.
causing damage to the course;
• Driving carts on to collars and too close to greens;
• Ignoring “path only” designations;
• Overloading golf carts with more than two riders or allowing underage children to operate carts;
Not Adhering to the Dress Code:
Ensure that all members and guests comply with the club's dress code to uphold our standards and respect for the club's environment.
Disciplinary Process
To address violations fairly and consistently, we have implemented the following process:
1. First Warning:The first time a member is proven to be behaving inconsistent with club rules, the relevant department will send an email documenting the incident. This will serve as a first warning.
2. Subsequent Violations: Any further violations will be taken directly to the Board of
Directors, which will review the incident and determine appropriate discipline.
We believe by working together and holding each other accountable, we will create a positive and respectful atmosphere, eliminate damage to the golf course, and create a Club environment expected by the membership.
Your cooperation and support in this matter are greatly appreciated.

Summer is in full swing at Woodbridge, and there's no better way to celebrate the season than with our sunny Drink of the Month: The Solarium Cocktail.
This refreshing and vibrant cocktail features the exquisite Empress 1908 Gin, known for its striking indigo hue and balanced botanical flavor. The Solarium Cocktail is the perfect blend of citrus and floral notes, creating a symphony of taste that will elevate your summer evenings.
The Solarium Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Empress 1908 Gin
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz simple syrup
2 oz fresh squeezed orange juice 2-3 dashes of orange bitters
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: Start by adding 1.5 oz of Empress 1908 Gin to a cocktail shaker. This gin, with its unique botanical blend, forms the base of our cocktail, providing a smooth and aromatic foundation.
Add Citrus and Sweetness:
Pour in 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. The lemon juice adds a zesty brightness, while the simple syrup balances it with a touch of sweetness.
Infuse with Orange Essence: Next, add 2 oz of freshly
squeezed orange juice. This ingredient not only enhances the cocktail's citrus profile but also gives it a beautiful sunny hue.
Aromatic Touch: Finish with 2-3 dashes of orange bitters. These bitters add a subtle complexity and depth to the cocktail, rounding out the flavors perfectly.
Shake and Serve: Shake the mixture vigorously with ice until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with a twist of orange peel or a slice of fresh orange for an extra touch of elegance.

August’s Tip of the Month Discover your Source of Joy in Golf, then Rediscover
Recognizing my predilection toward obsession as a junior golfer, my coach showed me a book called “Mastery,” by George Leonard. In the book, Leonard describes what learning and improvement actually looks like. According to his research, learning over time follows the curve below:
Looking at it closely, you’ll notice that skill increases rapidly in short periods of time with long plateaus between improvement. This graph is something I look at for myself and also show students to remind myself that to love golf, truly, is to love the plateaus. These are the times during which you are working just as hard for just as long without any real tangible growth to show for it. The rapid improvement periods are obviously the most fun and the most energizing but if playing great golf is your only source of joy in the game, that can be a dicey proposition. What’s great about golf is that it provides so many avenues for enjoyment. Let’s look at a couple:
Company:
Golf is meant to be played with others. The camaraderie gained during a round with friends or a golf trip can be the basis of a lifelong bond. Isn’t it funny how you can still remember the shot you or your friend hit on a trip 10 years ago? And how you celebrated a buddy’s hole-in-one?
Or the putt they made to take a few dollars out of your pocket at the end of close match? The good news here at Woodbridge is that there is plenty of great company to be found!
Scholarship:
Many enjoy golf as a means of gaining knowledge. Diving into research on how best to play the game or swing the club can be very energizing. Every lesson I’ve ever taken, seminar I’ve attended, or YouTube videos or podcasts from coaches I admire has given me renewed energy. It makes me look forward to coaching more the next day; not that I would impose a single concept on each student but, new information reminds us how much there is to learn!
Fanaticism:
Being a fan can bring great joy! Even when our teams lose important games, we still cannot wait for the next year. Following the PGA, LPGA, USGA events, College, local amateur and junior golf, or any other medium for competitive most certainly interests and inspires many golfers. Watching Brad Reeves grow up and turn into the incredible player that he is, I’m sure, was a great thrill for many of you! Xander Schauffele asserting himself this season by winning two major championships motivated the heck out of me! What’s more is that there is so much golf to watch! Thursday through Sunday, with the consistency of your paper boy, we have a chance to watch the best in the world. When you think of the characters the history of the game has produced, how can being a fan not energize?
The Course Itself:
I’m guilty as charged in having become a golf architecture nerd over the last three years. At a time when my mind was consumed with playing and coaching golf, discovering all of the beautiful details that can be provided by the stage on which our game is played opened up an entire new
world I hadn’t previously considered, at least outside of a tournament player’s perspective. What makes great holes great, how the routing of a course comes together, how one knob can change the way an entire hole plays, helped me discover a side of golf that had previously been off the grid. Loving golf courses also allowed me to enjoy a walk through nature more and I found myself less emotionally attached to how I was playing. Furthermore, my assessment of a hole or course had less and less to do with how I played. Ironically, because I was more joyful on the course, I began to play better!
Competition:
Perhaps the ficklest source of joy comes from pushing oneself to get as good as possible and then test those skills in tournaments. The ones that do it for a living have no choice but to embrace the plateaus because they spend every day working hard at something that only provides truly validating moments (wins, high finishes, big checks, etc) a few times per season. Think about it, Tiger Woods, the golfer who won at the highest percentage of any player ever, won less than 30% of his starts. That said, the highs from those moments are worth all of that sweat equity for those people. For me, it makes me look forward to coaching and simply being at a golf course more!
As many have said, golf is a game for a lifetime. Like life, there are many ups and downs. A more detailed example of the Mastery Curve would have innumerable little peaks and valleys within each plateau. How we respond to success as well as failure, ultimately, is what determines how good we become. Hopefully, we have several different sources of joy within the game. Perhaps I listed one you hadn’t considered. If so, please don’t hesitate to stop me and ask for a suggested reading or viewing! Until then, make enjoyment and learning your first goal the next round you play!

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
Congrats, Allison! ON THE COURSE
Congratulations to Woodbridge's Allison Frank! On July 25, Allison tied for 3rd place in her Division at the WNHGA Corena Green Classic, held at Bay Club Crow Canyon, with an impressive score of 35. She netted two birdies, hitting 8 out of 9 greens, and stayed close to the leader, who finished with a score of 33. Her remarkable performance earned her a well-deserved recognition. The Corena Green Classic, named in memory of a WNHGA director who championed a Girls Only Tournament, celebrates young golfers and their love for the game. Each year, the event features a fun theme with tee prizes and educational gift certificates. A big thank you to our 49ers for their contributions and their “Clubs Cleaned for Corena Green” fundraiser.
As we move into the heart of summer, the August heat brings both challenges and opportunities for our golf community. The "dog days" are upon us, with longer days, warmer temperatures, and the sun shining brightly. Here's what to expect at Woodbridge during this time and some tips to help you make the most of the season until cooler fall weather arrives.
Course Conditions & Maintenance
Our groundskeeping team is working diligently to ensure the course remains in excellent condition despite the heat. You may notice some areas receiving extra watering, as we take special care to keep the greens and fairways lush and healthy. Please be mindful of any temporary course modifications, such as roped-off areas or adjusted mowing schedules, which are in place to protect the turf during these hotter days.
Challenges with Poa Annua & Cool-Season Turf
The hot summer months can be particularly challenging for our course's cool-season turf, especially Poa annua. As a cool-season grass, Poa annua is more sensitive to high temperatures and can become stressed or even go dormant during the peak of summer. This can lead to:
1. Thinning Turf: High temperatures and humidity can cause Poa annua to thin out, making the greens less uniform and potentially impacting play.
2. Increased Maintenance: Our groundskeeping team is implementing measures to mitigate heat stress, including increased watering and careful monitoring of soil moisture levels. This proactive approach helps maintain the health of the turf, but it requires significant effort and resources.
3. Disease Management: Warm, humid conditions can create a
favorable environment for fungal diseases that affect Poa annua. We are vigilant in our disease management practices, using targeted treatments to protect the turf.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time as we work to keep the course in top shape. The health of our turf is a priority, and our team is dedicated to overcoming these seasonal challenges.
The Feverish Growth of Warm-Season Bermuda Grass
While the heat poses challenges for cool-season grasses, it also brings an opportunity for our warm-season Bermuda grass to thrive. Bermuda grass is well-suited to hot, sunny conditions, and during the summer, it can experience a period of rapid growth. Here's what to expect:
1. Vibrant Growth: The warm temperatures and longer daylight hours promote vigorous growth in Bermuda grass. This results in lush, dense fairways, enhancing the overall playing experience.
2. Frequent Mowing: To maintain the ideal playing conditions, our greens and grounds crew will be mowing more frequently. This helps manage the rapid growth and keeps the grass at a playable height. You'll notice more clippings as well and we are working as quickly as we can to eliminate unsightly build-up in those areas.
3. Improved Recovery: The resilience of Bermuda grass means it recovers quickly from wear and tear, such as divots or high traffic areas. This makes it an ideal choice for our summer season, ensuring the course remains in top condition for all members to enjoy.
