2 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer 2017 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Jeff Brighton Kim Stratta David Cary Daren Dear friends, neighbors, and fellow members: It s hard to believe a third of this year is already in the rearview mirror. As your board president, I have to admit that these 4 months have been a bit more eventful than expected, but our staff and our members continue to pull together and meet every challenge. Even last Saturday when the lights went out at the club during the severe storm that hit our area, the party in our lounge carried on by candlelight. The next day, the sun shone brightly on the golfers at the Tom Green tournament, and all was well at the club. Speaking of the (tragic) storm last weekend, you may have noticed that our staff decided on their own to collect and distribute needed items for folks in the area who were in need of assistance. Please join me in thanking them for their thoughtfulness and initiative, and thank you too if you contributed. The golf season is in full swing, and we have another busy month planned in May. The course is in great shape overall, and I hope you have been enjoying it as much as I have. Our restaurant specials are continuing throughout the week, so for those of you who haven t stopped by lately for a great meal, come on up and enjoy! Even better, bring any non-member friends with you for golfing and/or dining so they can experience our great facilities and friendly atmosphere for themselves. As always, be sure to welcome any new members you may meet around the club our theme this year is maintain the momentum, and new members are how we can ensure the future of this club. Finally, don t forget that we will celebrate the 50 th anniversary of Cedar Creek Country Club at the end of this month. Be sure to come up and join the celebration! Thank-you, Jeff Brighton 2

Placing your hands in a weak position on the grip.

To correct these issues follow these two simple steps. Place the grip of the club in the fingers of your hands.

4 JULIE S TIP OF THE MONTH ADVERTISING SPACE Newsletter Advertising Space Business Newsletter Inserts Sponsor Board Golf Course Benches Are you directionally challenged? Do you want a more consistent ball flight? One of the first places to check is your grip. There are two common mishaps when it comes to gripping the club. Placing the grip in the palm of your hands. Placing your hands in a weak position on the grip. These two common grip issues can result in grip pressure problems, inconsistent ball flights (left and right) and overall swing flaws including overuse of the hands and arms. To correct these issues follow these two simple steps. Place the grip of the club in the fingers of your hands. Rotate your left hand (right-handed players) clock-wise until the crease between your thumb and your pointer finger is pointed close to you right shoulder. This should allow you to see at least 2, if not 3 of your knuckles on your left hand. Finally, place your right hand on the club with your thumb pointing close to straight down the grip, if not, just off to the left.

MANAGER S NOTES, COURSE & TOURNAMENTS Manager s notes This year is off to a great start.

The Friday Night seafood buffets have been very popular and the golf course is looking great. Our entire team is doing a great job making sure you have a good experience.

Please mark your calendars to attend as many of the functions as possible.

5 MANAGER S NOTES, COURSE & TOURNAMENTS Manager s notes This year is off to a great start. Robbie Sutton Petty created two fantastic fund raisers that raised much needed money for improvements to the club. We have added 20 new members and are booking new events. The Friday Night seafood buffets have been very popular and the golf course is looking great. Our entire team is doing a great job making sure you have a good experience. Attendance for all of our club golf tournaments is up about 50% and the Tom Green Tournament was a huge success again. We are rapidly moving towards our 50 th Anniversary Memorial Weekend celebration. Please mark your calendars to attend as many of the functions as possible. The 50 th Anniversary Celebration is the start of a busy summer, including two Steak & Beans events, and we hope you ll all participate. June is our Member/ Guest Tournament, where we will introduce the Callaway/ Perry Ellis mobile pro shop. Players will be able to choose their own tee gifts and use winning gift certificates to make purchases, or you can save your tee gift card to combine it with your possible winnings for a bigger prize at the end of the tournament. Let s keep the positive momentum going by keeping the attendance up for all of our events. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED A few months ago, I mentioned our aggressive aerification plan which Dewayne and I hope will help get our Bermuda Grass Decline under control. Well, the time has come to put that plan in motion. Our first full scale aerification is planned for May 16 th and 17 th. Since hand watering the greens is part of the plan we will need some volunteers to help with the process. Dewayne has purchased some light weight hoses, which will make the process much easier. Now all we need are volunteers; we have four hoses so we need four operators. We will only do 9 greens per day and it should not take much effort to accomplish the moisture level needed to allow for a successful aerification. Please call the Pro Shop and or stop by to sign up to help. superintendent s note April has blessed our course with some much needed rainfall and above average temperatures. Aerification of our Green surrounds, Tee tops and surrounds have all been completed, we have applied herbicide to help elevate our weeds in the rough areas, still watching a few greens for POA- Annua. I believe warmer temps and mechanical practices will take care of this for us. Greens aerification with pencil tines has been postponed due to equipment issues, our major greens aerification should go as planned on May 16th+17th with 1/2 hollow tines, and a good fungicide application. May also will be the start of our verticutting and light sanding of our greens, we will start with a less aggressive verticutting more often, rather than being aggressive less often, to remove as much thatch as possible during growing season. Your golf course is in great shape. Please enjoy it and take care of it. Thanks, D. -Randy 5
