3 G eneral Managers Monthly Rep o rt A recent article in Private Club Magazine reports that many people today are confronted with how to balance work, family and community. Blackberries, PDAs, laptops, cell phones and wireless internet enable us to sneak off the gym or grocery store mid-afternoon without guilt; if anyone needs to reach us, they can. But these same technologies that free us from our desks also expand our job s intrusion in our lives. The lines between the workday, workweek, and weekend blur as our accessibility increases. More and more people find a Private Club is just the outlet they need to deal with life s stress. They find their Club is a venue to make business connections and build substantial relationships with energetic, like-minded individuals. Members find their Club to be the PERFECT mix between business and pleasure and they develop a network amongst other Club members based on friendship and trust. I ENCOURAGE all members to take advantage of this under-utilized Club BENEFIT by visiting the Brickyard often. Please mention these benefits when you talk with your colleagues, family and friends! Everyone could use LESS STRESS in their lives! Once again, I encourage you to refer one person for membership TODAY. Think of the civic groups, churches, schools, careers, and other organizations that you are involved with. Anyone that is not a member of the Brickyard is a potential member! I would like to inform our members that the Preview Membership Program has been extended through December 21, 2013 with a few new and exciting perks: Members will be eligible to retain $ credit each month for six (6) months or can transfer the credit to the preview member. Incentives have been increased until December 21st to include: 1. $2000 clubhouse credit to the first member who sponsors four preview members. 2. $500 clubhouse credit to the member who sponsored the most preview members. New preview members who recruit other preview members will get the benefit of accruing funds toward their initiation fees (See Luis for more information) 3. Every member who sponsors an approved preview member will be entered into a raffle for $ clubhouse credit. The raffle for the upcoming Preview Membership drive will be on Sunday, December 22, 2013 during the Member-Holiday Open House. Please contact me with any questions regarding our current membership drives and feel free to call on me at any time. As always, I very much look forward to seeing you at the Club.

Thank you for your cooperation. I hope everyone is enjoying the golf course. The turf grass staff has been working hard to keep the course in tournament condition for all our members to enjoy. I would like to thank my team for all their hard work and dedication. In July we are scheduled to aerify the greens on the 9 th if weather permits. This time we are not going to pull cores, we will be using solid tines. These tines will open holes and we will fill them with sand. During aerification in June we pulled cores so we do not see the need to do that again. We have been applying fertilizer each week to stimulate the roots and to get them healthy. I am very encouraged by the progress of the greens. solid tine, which again means we will not be pulling cores. We did this in June and it helped all the oxygen and nutrients get to the root system and provide for a healthier turf. Please remember to fix ball marks and try to keep the carts on the paths as much as possible. Please enjoy the course. Briane Faletto, GCS Class A Superintendent Also in July, we plan on aerifying, verticutting, and topdressing the tees and the green collars. We will do this using a June
