1 THE CLUB AT 12 OAKS MEMBER NEWSLETTER MARCH 2016 Greetings from the GM s Office - Mike Biscotti, General Manager We are very excited about the new clubhouse opening this month as I am sure you are. The completion of the clubhouse and the 2 nd pool this summer will complete our campus. It was an extremely busy 2015, and now 2016, with the expansion of the fitness center, the multi-purpose room addition, the bunker renovation project, the new clubhouse, the construction of the 2 nd amenity site, and the up-and-coming greens conversion this summer to Champion Bermuda grass. I hope these new features will add to your enjoyment as a resident or golf member of this wonderful community. The club has operated without a defined policy for dress code and clubhouse rules, so it is important that we establish those before we open the new clubhouse. On behalf of the Board of Governors, management and the owners, I want to thank all of you who completed the dress code policy survey. I also want to thank the Board for championing this initiative. Your overall response called for the dress to be casual. Naturally, everyone s interpretation of casual wear will be different, so we tried to draft the policy in a way that will give you a general idea of what is acceptable and not acceptable to wear to the club. One Board member suggested thinking of it as if you were invited to a friend s club; how would you dress in that situation? I believe most people would dress differently than if they were going to My Way Tavern or the Mason Jar. If you think about it that way I am sure what you wear to the club will be appropriate. The success of a private country club is dependent on the support of its members and guests. If you are a social member and you are planning to dine out, please give strong consideration to dining at the club and inviting your family and friends. If you are a golf member, invite your friends and business associates out to play golf. If you or a friend are planning a wedding, special occasion event, golf tournament big or small, business meeting with or without golf, please consider your club as the venue. Thank you for being a member! 2008 Green Oaks Parkway Holly Springs, NC

The wet weather put us behind on our winter Preemergent and weed control application, but we will finish those projects as soon as the course is dry enough. Despite the weather, we were able to continue clearing some native areas, cut down seven dead trees scattered throughout the course, and prune the ornamental trees on the course. Better Billy Bunkers has completed the bunker renovations. The inch and a half of rain we had on February 16th was a great test. We had minimal washouts on the completed bunkers and were able to repair the washouts in just a few hours. Stay up-to-date on course repairs by visiting the Course Report page on the 12 Oaks App. Please respect the Cart Rule for the day. This time of year the Bermuda isn t taking up the water from rain, and it will stay wet longer. We will keep you on the path when conditions warrant it.

These safety devices include: Headlights, taillights, reflectors, turn signals, seat belts, and rear view mirrors. It is imperative for all residents who utilize golf carts on public streets to be licensed drivers with carts that are in accordance with the additional safety devices and regulations set forth by the municipality.
