James Crocitto Director of Food & Beverage Tricia Mayes Membership Accounts Receivable FOOD & BEVERAGE I remember when I was about 9 years old going to Pinecrest Lake in the Sierra Nevada s.

These boats are designed for speed, and we would race other boats on the lake. A few summers later my older brother managed to buy an 18ft Hobie Cat.

This trapeze allows the sailor to hang over the edge of the boat traveling at great speeds, while only one hull is in the water (flying hull).

The last time I was there we went out, and it was just like we were kids all over again.

4 James Crocitto Director of Food & Beverage Tricia Mayes Membership Accounts Receivable FOOD & BEVERAGE I remember when I was about 9 years old going to Pinecrest Lake in the Sierra Nevada s. Our family would go every summer to enjoy the fishing, the beach, and the sailing. I started off sailing on a 17 foot Laser. These boats are designed for speed, and we would race other boats on the lake. A few summers later my older brother managed to buy an 18ft Hobie Cat. This boat had 2 hulls and a trampoline between them; it was also outfitted with what is called a trapeze. This trapeze allows the sailor to hang over the edge of the boat traveling at great speeds, while only one hull is in the water (flying hull). You were harnessed in and attached by wire to the top of the mast. What a rush that was, and to this day my brother still has a Hobie on Pinecrest Lake. The last time I was there we went out, and it was just like we were kids all over again. Sailing is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime, and now your kids have an opportunity to experience it for themselves. Turtle Point Sailing Camp will be held June 2nd thru the 6th right here at the Club. Captain Chip Flournoy will be instructing kids 6 to 16 (limited to the first 18) on the finer points of sailing in his 34 foot boat named Reverie. Kids will be promoted in rank as they advance their skills throughout the week. By Friday, they will have mastered such things as boat safety, terminology, knot tying, navigation, chart reading, anchoring, docking and so much more. On Friday afternoon, there will be a ceremony (parents are encouraged to attend) where the kids will receive their certificate of completion by the captain. This opportunity will be remembered for a lifetime. Best Regards, James Crocitto CCM MEMBERSHIP CONNECTION It s that exciting time of the year again at Turtle Point with the golf course turning green, the pool opening, and dining rooms filling up each evening.

The 10th Annual Turtle Point Old Waverly Challenge was held at Turtle Point on May 17 and 18. The rain shortened event was won by the Turtle Point Terrapins with a score of In the photo (L to R), OW Golf Professional, Chris Jester; TP s Bill Colloredo; OW Captain, Cecil Chiles; TP Captain, Bill McGuire; and TP Head Golf Professional, Les Holcombe SUPERINTENDENT S REPORT Glen Junkin, GCS Golf Course Superintendent This is the 1st time since 1996 that there has been a winter severe enough to cause damage to many of the warm season grasses that we have on the golf course. According to Chris Hartwiger, Director of the USGA Course consulting service, The Winter had a profound effect on golf facilities across much of the country. While bermudagrass greens that were covered have emerged from the winter in excellent condition, extensive damage to bermudagrass tees, fairways and roughs have been reported. The damage that we have is mostly in shady areas that receive a lot of cart and or foot traffic. Several of these areas are on tees and fairways and many others are in the rough where carts enter or exit the fairway. Most of these areas will grow-in on their own with a little extra fertilizer, but there are others that will have to be sodded due to large areas with no living grass. During this time of grow-in please be mindful of these areas and avoid them. If everyone will help us by obeying the cart signs during this time, it will be much appreciated. Glen Junkin, Golf Course Superintendent An example of a bermudagrass area severely damaged by this past winter s weather. The causes: low temperatures, traffic and shade.
