a newsletter for members of the wilmington country club
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE One of our challenges at Wilmington Country Club is to move the Club into the 21st century, while trying to maintain our culture and traditions that make our Club so special. Along those lines it became clear to us that our communications with our members had fallen behind what was needed in today’s world. It was for that reason that the Club hired Meghan Spero as Membership Development and Communications Manager last year. Meghan was tasked with addressing our Club’s communications with our members and in particular the use of social media. The Club recognizes the importance of communicating through a variety of outlets and has therefore created the “official” Wilmington Country Club social media sites: Facebook,Twitter, and Instagram. • Facebook will be our primary social media tool highlighting upcoming events, news, video messages and happenings around the Club. •Twitter will provide interesting articles and entertaining news. • Instagram will provide a pictorial look into a “Day in the Life” at WCC. The social media accounts are private and you may choose to follow one or all of them. You can access them by clicking on the social media icons at the bottom of any Club email. You must either log in or create a new account to participate. If you have any questions regarding our social media sites, please contact Meghan at [email protected] or 655-6171. Joseph F.

A NOTE FROM PHIL Winter Greetings! I hope this Bulletin finds you warm and healthy. Although the temperatures have been less than we would have desired, we really can’t complain about how little snow we have received this season. There have even been a few bonus days of golf enjoyed by some. Let’s hope for more of the same. Speaking of snow and ice, our Grounds Staff does an amazing job of clearing the parking lots and sidewalks. Regardless of their efforts, it is impossible to be completely free of the occasional slippery patch – especially early in the morning. Please use caution and good judgment when driving or walking this winter. How are you doing on achieving your NewYear’s objectives? If your goal for the NewYear included the phrase “drop a few pounds” or “get in shape”, we are here to help. Personal Training and Group Exercise programs are
available seven days a week. There is no better time to tackle that resolution than now and no more comfortable place than at your Club! Don’t know how to get started? Call Rick or Chris in Fitness for guidance. Don’t forget to cap off a great workout with a great massage.You owe it to yourself! When it comes to dining events, February is usually a fairly quiet month with one huge exception. Don’t forget about Valentine’s Day. We will be hosting a special “Valentine’s Sweetheart Dinner” in the Dining Room onTuesday the 14th. Because it falls on aTuesday, this will be the only food service offered that day.The evening comes complete with all the essentials to create the perfect setting to share with that “special someone”. Of course, the entire experience centers around the wonderful menu that Chef Tip has developed. More information is provided in this month’s Bulletin, but don’t wait too long to make reservations. Seating is limited and is expected to fill quickly. Later in the month, on Saturday the 18th, a special Parent (Grandparent)/Child Tea Party will be held. Please make plans to attend. When it comes to regular dining, I’d like to offer a reminder that theTavern/Grille features a selection of brunch specials every Sunday. These items are served ala carte and the menu includes all your traditional favorites. We open a bit earlier (10:30 am) to better accommodate your schedules. All winter long, the Dining Room offers a special “3 for $35” menu in addition to the regular fare. We will be kicking off a series of new “family friendly” nightly specials in Café 1901.Watch for a separate email with details.Whatever you do, DO NOT forget about joining us for Happy Hour in The Pub on Friday evenings from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm. It is the place to see and be seen! Speaking of The Pub, the Super Bowl will be on every screen with our traditional Football Fare as well as a selection of special menu items. We also have a couple of “square boards” behind the bar to add to the fun. Can’t join us because you are hosting or attending a house party? We do almost as much take-out for Super Bowl as we do for Thanksgiving.This year, hit the “easy” button and let us help. The next item is to remind those members who have not yet met their food minimum that you have until March 31st to do so. Please do not wait until the final week. If you fail to fulfill this obligation, the balance will be charged to your account. Please don’t ask for relief or special consideration – none can be given. As always, the Fitness Room, Squash Courts and Indoor Tennis Courts are open seven days a week. The Club’s dining facilities are openWednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner.Thus far, those of you in town are staying active, and we appreciate your support. Keep it up and I’ll see you at your Club! Phil Iannelli General Manager

MESSAGE FROM MEMBERSHIP AND COMMUNICATIONS
Since my introduction in the January Bulletin , a few questions have arisen regarding the role of the Membership Development Committee as well as my role in assisting the membership effort. Under the direction of the Strategic Planning Committee and with approval of the Board of Directors, the Member- ship Development Committee was established towards the end of 2016 with the specific
solve the problem. While the Membership Development Committee’s effort of identifying potential members is part of our sustainable planning, we will always need you, our membership, to help identify those whom you feel would make good additions to the Club. We recognize that sometimes those conversations about membership with close friends or family can be potentially uncomfortable. My role as Membership Development Manager provides a neutral point of contact at the Club who can navigate some of the more difficult conversations especially in respects to the financial aspects of membership. In addition, working in partnership with the Committee, I can assist sponsoring members throughout the proposal process in identifying potential letter writers and obtaining referrals. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and answer any questions you may have regarding our process and efforts in membership development. We are fortunate to have a strong foundation of long standing members paired with amenities and service which are second to none. This truly makes WCC one of the finest private clubs in the country. Meghan Spero Membership Development and Communications Manager
purpose of identifying those in our community, businesses, churches, schools, etc. who could potentially be a good fit for membership. As we all know, the greatest threat to the continued success of any Club is declining membership numbers. Interestingly, the number one reason why people do not join a private club is because they have never been asked. This is an easy obstacle to overcome. Through the efforts of the Strategic Planning and Membership Development Committees, we look to create a long range and sustainable program for growth; unlike a number of local facilities which believe the focus should be on short term incentive drives. Our experience shows us that this does not

BOOK CLUB All you ladies who love to read, join us on Tuesday, February 7th as we discuss O Pioneers! , Willa Cather’s memorable novel about life on the Nebraska prairie. Alexandra Bergson, the protagonist, has just been in town to see the doctor about her dying father when she finds Emil, her five year old brother crying because his kitten had been chased up a telephone pole and can’t get down. The howling wind and frozen ground, the whimpering child, the rough-looking, shivering townspeople all indicate that life is harsh and forbidding in Hanover, and this is where young Alexandra will soon be in charge of her family’s farm and cultivating this wild land. Her father had determined that she, rather than Oscar and Lou her teenage brothers, was the only one who was intelligent and resourceful enough to manage the future of the family and of their farm. And he had made a wise choice. Alexandra was a spirited, independent Swedish immigrant who loved this land no matter how harsh it was. Over the years she transforms the land and is transformed by it. There’s triumph yet tragedy in this prairie life - romance as well as loss for pioneers. Join us on February 7th at 4:00 pm in the Ladies’ Locker Room as Cathy Welsh leads the discussion of this novel which surges with the vibrance, sadness, tragedy, and the romance of life on the wind-swept prairie. Our March selection is Palladian Days , Sally and Carl Gable’s lively account of owning and restoring one of the greatest villas in Italy. The villa’s history and architectural enhancements, the adventures in living in a small town in Italy, and the total joy the Gable’s encounter in living in such a stupendous house will make your reading of this book pure joy. You might even want to take a trip to Italy to see it.

February’s wine of the month comes to us from Argentina via way of Milton, Delaware. The Sposato Family is extremely excited about their new venture into the wine business.The Sposato Family researched and researched this industry before jumping in with both feet and moving full steam ahead with the project. After six years of researching, studying and visiting the area, the Sposato Family purchased land in the heart of Argentina’s Wine Country, Mendoza, Argentina. They sought this opportunity based on their 23 years of working with land, soil, irrigation and plant material while running their top rated landscape company, Sposato Landscape Co., Inc. located in Milton, Delaware. The farm was purchased in 2012 as virgin ground. A new irrigation system, electric and other improvements have been installed, with more to come as the winery becomes fully operational.The Sposato Family Vineyard is located in Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, 3,000 ft. above sea level. Sposato Family Vineyards recently brought to the United States the first shipment of Sposato Wines. The shipment arrived in Baltimore in August of 2016.The first varietals that came up from Argentina were two Reserve wines, a Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon and three classic wines, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Currently the farm is working on the varietals for 2017!

they do not yet have the requisite skills to play. We cannot assume (we know what happens when we do that!) that kids will automatically develop skills without qualified instruction much the same way that kids won’t necessarily learn to read by visiting the library. We need child-centered instruction to help guide kids at their specific developmental level, which is an important point, too, as growth and development is not linear and is not the same for all kids. For example, a group of eight- year olds are biologically up to two years on either side of eight years old, so you would really be working with a group of 6-10 year olds! The take home message is that there needs to be an evidence-based plan in place to help everyone at every age develop to the best of their ability, within their given level of endowment (the best plan may not help a 7-footer become an elite gymnast, for example). Make sure you ask questions about long-term athletic development and specific workouts to help promote athleticism for a lifetime. For adults, think honestly about your skill set, your level of basic strength, and the total amount of time you spend playing sports, working out, and being physically active. Please see the Fitness Staff to help you achieve your long-term athletic development goals. Rick Howard Director of Fitness
The key question is, what is LTAD? There are several ways to answer the question, but the one I use is
that LTAD is a framework for positive youth development that promotes muscle strength and motor skills through sport, physical activity, and physical education. As a framework, there is not one way that it must be done. I was fortunate to be part of the writing team that created the NSCA Position Statement on Long Term Athletic Development, which outlined 10 pillars for positive youth development. One important highlight of LTAD is that it is a cradle-to-grave concept. The opportunities to play and participate in organized sports and activities builds skills that can be used throughout the life course. Any gap, overuse, or negative experience can diminish the skill development and enjoyment of the sport or physical activity. Most of us would never consider dropping off young children at the library to learn to read without primary knowledge of letters, words, sentences, etc. yet we often sign kids up for sports when

A NOTE FROM GROUNDS
As winter has now fully set in, the outdoor conditions provide the grounds department with limited opportunity to make progress on course projects. Periods of snow cover and alternating wet/frozen conditions restrict our access to key areas of the property where ongoing projects are in various stages approaching completion. This coincidentally does become a crucial period
efficiency of normal operation as well as to help insure the anticipated functional life of our equipment fleet. Next, these same managers disassemble the cutting assemblies of almost all mowing equipment, regrinding and returning all to their original specifications, and in many cases, replacing operating bearings and seals.When reassembled and properly adjusted they will be ready for when next spring comes and we will once again take on the challenge of producing pristine conditions on all of our playing surfaces. Finally, we take whatever time is available to annually re- evaluate the grounds maintenance operations buildings with regard to efficiency and organization of equipment, as well as adding a little bit of wall paint here and there. Often, floor spaces are reconfigured to better utilize an already overcrowded storage arrangement or otherwise improve efficiency of movement during the operating season. One very specific objective for this off season is the improvement of our storage area for kiln-dried topdressing sand used specifically on putting green surfaces. Our only means of keeping dry sand dry is to contain it within one of our barn facilities. We have always had minor issues with water seeping through the old barn exterior wall that is currently utilized for this sand containment. A plan has been devised that will allow storage relocation to an interior wall of the barn, eliminating the moisture problem. A two-sided cinderblock wall will be constructed bisecting the existing large room to shelter the sand from any possible contaminants or other equipment. This new area will also have direct access to one of our two garage doors, allowing sand to be dumped in front of the door and pushed directly into the storage area. The move will provide additional height and more overall storage area, allowing us the ability to store a greater quantity of dry topdressing sand on site and lessening the always frustrating reliance of delivery trucks maintaining a dependable schedule.

during which we have the opportunity to complete many important detail and organizational activities to prepare for the upcoming season. We’d be happy at this time to offer a bit of a tour behind the scenes. One of the main unseen winter tasks that must be completed before the start of the new golf season is rehabilitation processes to all golf course accessories.These include benches, ball washers, bunker rakes, tee markers, flag poles, directional signs, divot boxes, yardage markers, stakes and rope. All of these items will be thoroughly checked for wear/overall stability and evaluated based on age and condition for replacement. Any items that have more than very minor degradation or issues beyond the point of total rehabilitation will be added to the list for replacement with new. Those capable of restoration will be repaired to the degree needed, meticulously sanded down to remove old paint or coatings, and repainted or glossed to match the original specifications. This process ensures all materials begin the new golf season shining like new accessories. These winter months are also a key period during which our equipment managers are extremely busy individually servicing a great portion of our equipment fleet. Initially, a number of our staff members who typically operate the equipment during the growing season, power wash each item to be worked on removing the more difficult grime that may have accumulated throughout the arduous season. Where applicable, wax is reapplied to the machinery to ensure original paint coatings continue to last for seasons to come. Following that, engine service work is completed by our trained mechanics, accomplishing preventative maintenance activities and other repairs if necessary. This eventually includes replacement of all oil and filters based on manufacturer’s maintenance service schedules assuring the

NEW YEAR, NEW GOLF EQUIPMENT
The 2017 golf season is fast approaching and the golf calendar is in the process of being finalized. We are anticipating it will be finalized in mid-February. Should you need dates sooner for summer vacation plans scheduled around golf events at the Club, please call us in the Golf Shop and we will be happy to provide you with important dates. At the time of this publication, we should just be returning from the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida. This year looks like it will be very exciting for golf equipment. Callaway's release of the Great Big Bertha Epic driver is groundbreaking with the newly introduced jailbreak technology.Titleist has released their 917 line of woods which look and sound amazing! Ping has released their new i200 line of irons which are a great combination of the feel you want from a forgiving iron and the look and performance you would expect from a blade. TaylorMade will be releasing a new M line, which has already proven to be explosively long. These newly released clubs are now available as "Demo" clubs in the Golf Shop. As a reminder, we invest in these demos to help our members make good choices when purchasing clubs. They are not "loaner" clubs. We also use these same clubs when providing a professional club fitting. It is important the clubs are returned to the Golf Shop in a timely manner so all members have access. We will also be hosting Demo Days once again beginning in the spring. As always, a member of the Professional Staff will gladly help you select the perfect equipment and ensure it is properly custom fit to your swing. Please stop by the Golf Shop to get the latest news on this year’s golf equipment and apparel from the PGA Merchandise Show.

THE PUTTER ARTICLE: BOB LENNON
Fall in love with what should be your favorite club, “The Putter”. This club can alter your score the most... so how about talking positive about the putter instead of the old negative talk. Too many times I hear that you played pretty well but had 5 three putts. That’s unacceptable! We can work on our stroke and impact positing during the winter months. Find a flat carpet or buy a putting mat. The putting mats run from $25 to $300 depending on the level of quality and sophistication. Having the ability to make a straight putt from 4, 6 and 8 feet would greatly increase your putting statistics. First, aiming the putter at address is not as easy as it seems. All putters do not line up the same to all people. Get fit for the correct putter that matches your posture and stroke, length, lie angle, loft, head shape and grip size. All of these areas are important. If we can start off with the proper putter, the chance of starting the ball on the intended target line is greatly increased. Second, work on developing a stroke that can repeat. There are many strokes that work, but the key is to be able to repeat the motion. Try to make 50-100 strokes three times a week with a putting arc or xyz board so that you insure consistency of the stroke.Third, work on getting into correct posture so that your eyeline is on the target line or slightly inside the line. Never outside the line! Be careful to have the same ball position at all times. If you get fit for the proper putter, are able to create a stroke that repeats and you have proper posture, you will be on your way to lowering your putting average and your score!
WOMEN’S NINE-HOLE GOLFERS

2017 PGA MERCHANDISE SHOW
Q&A WITH OUR SR. ASSISTANT GOLF PROFESSIONAL, ERIC WILLIAMS
transportation vehicles that range from effective to gimmicky. This year, the one that caught my attention the most was from Oakley. While passing by the Oakley booth, I ran across Bubba Watson’s jet pack. The jet pack, named BW-Air, can fly up to 3,000 feet in the air and has been used by Bubba in various promos. That’s one way to speed up the pace of play! Q. Did you happen to see any celebrities? A. I saw quite a few this year. I walked outside while on my cell phone to try to meet one of my colleagues and when I looked to my right, there was John Daly smoking a cigarette. I saw Bubba Watson give a great interview on the effects of his swing on his body and how he prevents injury. Colin Montgomerie and Greg Norman were walking around the show floor. In years past, I have had the chance to meet Ken Griffey, Jr and Lydia Ko. You never know who you may see at the show! Q. The PGA Merchandise Show is also a great opportunity for PGA professionals to take part in educational seminars. Did you have the opportunity to attend any of these seminars? A. I did not have a chance to attend any of the PGA seminars this year. This is normally a part of my game plan, but I was a little too packed with meetings and the schedules conflicted. Last year, I attended an outstanding short game seminar from James Sieckmann, who is a renowned PGA Tour coach. He mentioned many things I have implemented into my game and teaching philosophy. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to listen to Butch Harmon talk about his swing philosophy. The show offers a wide variety of ways to sharpen your skills as a PGA professional, and to network with others. Q. Are you glad you went to the “show”? Do you find it beneficial for you as a PGA professional and for WCC? A. I love going to the show for many reasons. I was able to meet countless golf professionals from all across the nation, and reconnect with many others. I always feel like it allows me to have a first-hand experience with all of the new products and vendors. I enjoy experiencing the excitement of a new season from our product representatives and golf professionals. It is a great way to start the new year and relay that enthusiasm and excitement to our membership.
Q. So this isn’t your first time to the PGA Merchandise Show, are you always amazed at the size and number of vendors and visitors? A.The show can be overwhelming in size when you first attend. There are hundreds of brands of clothing, golf clubs, teaching aids, travel companies, etc. There really is about anything that you can think of in regards to golf at the show. This year, the show floor was 750,000 square feet, which equals about 14 football fields.That’s a lot of striped golf shirts! Q. When you attend the “show”, do you have a game plan as to which vendors you visit? A. I learned after the first year I attended, you need to have a game plan in place to be effective. Otherwise, you will get lost in the crowd. This year, I had 6 appointments with clothing and golf club manufacturers. I also like to schedule some time to explore and try to find new products. Hopefully, this year we can introduce some new vendors we saw to the Golf Shop. Q. Of the vendors you met with at the “show”, what did you find most interesting or what intrigued you the most? A.We always try to meet with vendors who would fit with our club’s profile. Obviously, we would not be carrying a brand like Loud Mouth golf, which John Daly wears. We did, however, see a lot of great offerings for 2017 from our golf club manufacturers. Callaway’s Epic driver and fairway wood lines are a must see. They have found a way to get around the ball speed limits set by the USGA by putting two “jailbreak” bars behind the face of the club. It is truly a game-changing innovation. Q. What are you most excited to see arrive at WCC’s Golf Shop from your time at the “show”? A. One product line that we are excited about from the show is KJUS. The brand began as a producer of ski apparel, and has now been in the golf industry for the past two years. The new outerwear and men’s polos the line is producing look outstanding and are better fitting. We will be carrying the line in Fall of 2017. Q. What was the craziest gadget you saw at the “show”? A. Every year I see so many different teaching aids, simulators and
