CLUB NEWS Dear Woodcrest Members, On behalf of the entire Woodcrest Country Club Team, we are excited and looking forward to a fantastic 2020. This winter has been kind to us so far with mild temperatures and very little snowfall, which hopefully translates to an early start to the golf season. I am happy to report that our membership continues to grow and flourish, and we truly appreciate and value your loyalty and participation. We are happy to announce that on Wednesday, March 18th we will be hosting our Spring Member Open House and Appreciation Night. Please extend an invitation to potential new members who may be interested in joining the club. Just as a reminder, please don’t forget to take advantage of our New Member Referral Program outlined in the newsletter. Over the winter we have been busy working on golf course improvements, including drainage, tree removal and pruning, bunker renovations and irrigation upgrades. These improvements will continue to make the golf course even better and more enjoyable to play. Considering how mild it has been so far, we will attempt to aerate the greens earlier than normal which will potentially translate into a longer undisturbed golf season. Our winter Friday Night Lives upstairs by the fire have been fun and we hope you can join us for the remaining live entertainment in the Fountain Bar which will continue through the end of March. You can find the entertainment line-up inside the newsletter. George and his culinary staff have been working hard over the winter designing and adding new menu items, including appetizers, entrées, specialty drinks, and desserts. Don’t forget to keep Woodcrest in mind when it comes time to planning your next special event. George Jordan and his team are always eager to help in any way they can. As our banquet business and reputation continues to grow and flourish, we want to make sure you take advantage of the facility and all the great things it has to offer. I would like to personally thank all of you for being part of the Woodcrest Country Club family. If there is ever anything I can do for you or your guests, please do not hesitate to let me know. We wish to make your experience a memorable one each and every time you visit the club. Kind regards,

Patrick Lucas Director of Operations

3. Woodcrest Word, Spring 2020


Dear WCC Members,

Jason Howard , PGA We hope you are as excited for the 2020 season as we are. Last year couldn’t have been a better first year for the golf team, and we are eager to make this year even better. WCC will have some fantastic tournaments coming up over the next eight months as well as some great new merchandise fresh from the PGA Merchandise Show hitting the Golf Shop shelves soon.

Tournaments Our 2020 Tournament Schedule is attached to this Newsletter. Check it out to find all the important dates to save to your 2020 calendar. We’re delighted to announce a couple new events planned for the season. First will be our season-long Woodcrest Open. Much like the President’s Cup, this new event will consist of a qualifier where the top 32 individuals will play in head-to-head match play with strokes during a time that fits their schedules. Our Junior Club Championship is also back this year! This August event consists of 18-Holes, 9-Holes, 3-Holes, and 1-Hole for all our Juniors. Also keep an eye out for the Flynn Member-Member Tournament, which is being offered in an exciting new format. This Tournament now consists of 18-Holes playing three different formats followed by a shootout to crown the tournament winner. This year, attendees at the Flynn Member-Member will also have a chance to mingle and celebrate at a cocktail party that includes the awards ceremony and hors d’ Oeuvres. We also have the 2020 Woodcrest Shootout which will consist of the top 10 leaders for the season who accumulate the most points in events, much like the PGA Tour FedEx Cup and play a 9-Hole shootout to declare a winner. Our next to last event will be the 1929 Team Matches where myself and Gary will captain a Ryder Cup tournament format against one another. The final event of the 2020 season will now be the Superintendent’s Revenge, "Patrick's Revenge". Come rise to the challenge and see Woodcrest as never before as Patrick and his team “trick up” the course with fast greens, unexpected obstacles, and other surprises --- it’s going to be a great time.

Indoor Golf Facility and Simulator Our state-of-the-art simulator has seen some use this winter and I encourage anyone looking to fine-tune their game to book an appointment to either play a world renowned golf course or just check on all the data Trackman 4 can offer you on your golf swing. Golf Shop Our Golf Shop saw quite a transformation in 2019 and will continue to bring in new products throughout the season this year. You can check out the latest in brands such as Nike, Greyson, Imperial, and Levelwear, just to name a few. Our Golf Shop staff is ready and waiting to help you take a look at the latest and greatest apparel and gadgets that will let you look and play your best out on the course. Our success each year is built on serving you, our members, and we would like to thank you for an amazing 2019 and an even more exciting 2020 to come. Best regards,

Jason Howard, PGA Director of Golf 856-429-4300 x 192 JHoward@WoodcrestCountryClub.com Woodcrest Country Club 4.

Thank You for a Great 2019! SOCIALLY SPEAKING... From the Desk of George Jordan Director of Food & Beverage

I always get excited when March rolls around, as it typically means winter is pretty much over and the golf season can begin. We were very lucky with the mild winter of 2020. A warm welcome back to our members! Soon, the trees and grass will turn green and our golf course will be teeming with happy golfers. I am anticipating a terrific year full of great social activities, amazing golf and swimming. The Food & Beverage Department has had a very busy winter. Woodcrest has become the premier spot in South Jersey to host social events. We are booked throughout 2020 with a variety of weddings, mitzvahs, golf outings and private events. Kudos to the entire F & B Department for their continued hard work and dedication in making Woodcrest the number one wedding and event venue. Thank you for a great 2019! Woodcrest’s success could not be achieved without you, our loyal members. We had the best year in Food & Beverage and a special thank you to all the members who patronized Bar 1929 and had their business or family events at the club.
