A Note from Chuck We have had a great summer at Cross Creek with better than expected golf play, greatly improved pool area and tennis courts. In addition we had a blockbuster summer camp. I d like to welcome all the new members that joined during our Join the bunch membership campaign and thank all our membership for their referrals and are now enjoying lower dues. We have some great upcoming events. An oyster roast on October 2 will be held on the pavilion with live music. The MGA is putting together a fall golf tournament to be held October 4 and 5, details to follow. Be on the lookout for these and many more great events in the future. Please remember to make reservation to guarantee your spot. As a membership many of you have expressed to me your appreciation for all the hard work that our staff puts into the Club. Our success is due to an extremely loyal group of employees who understand that our job is to serve this club and membership to the best of our ability. Without the fantastic support staff that I am proud to represent as General Manager, our successes would be fewer and much further between. If you haven t done it already, please remember to pass your appreciation directly to the individuals on our team who make our success possible. Your feedback not only builds morale, but also strengthens our resolve to make Cross Creek the best it can be. Be assured that your opinion matters and we strive daily to make the Club your home away from home. In service, Chuck Gardner General Manager A Note from the Chef As the summer moves along I am happy to unveil our new menu 2 going into the fall. As usual our culinary team is focusing on using as many local ingredients as possible and providing a varied assortment of cuisines for our supportive membership. Also, as we move along in the year we will be providing more of a focus on Daily Featured Specials as well. Instead of scheduled theme nights, we will be running more daily items such as pastas, Southern faire, fresh catch specials and more. Please come dine with us and as always we love to hear any and all feedback in your dining experience as to provide you with the best experience possible!

Coalson & Johnson Golf Course Maintenance With fall beginning to set in, we are now concentrating on healing the greens from aerification. Once the greens have recovered and cooler temperatures begin to set in, we will be able to start back with more aggressive maintenance practices such as changing to Willie rollers on our greens mowers, using grooming reels, rolling more frequently, applying growth regulators and light frequent top dressings. The combination of these tactics will help us get back to the smoother firmer putting surfaces we all miss during the summer season. With that being said please come out and enjoy this wonderful time of year and as always I look forward to seeing everyone on the course. Trevor Thomas Golf Course Superintendent
