PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

PRESIDENT GaryW. Ferguson

VICE PRESIDENT Melissa Riegel

This is a time of year when we experience a high incidence of medical emergencies. Quickly responding to those emergencies requires us all to be aware of the best action to take and the Club to be prepared to respond.We should all feel pride and comfort in the commitment to safety and level of preparedness of our staff.The Club has a team of staff members that are trained as first responders. Our job is to quickly notify the Front Desk by dialing "0" from any house phone. The Front Desk will dispatch the first responder team and call 911. So please pay attention to the location of the house phones in the areas you use at the Club. Golfers, remember there are phones by all the water fountains on the courses. If for some reason you do not get an answer at the Front Desk, please call 911. Our first responders are also trained to use AED's and we have ten units located throughout our facilities. We know from past experience that our safety program can make a huge difference in the outcome in an emergency situation. I thank our management staff for their commitment to safety and urge all members to think about how they would respond in an emergency situation. Please contact Phil Iannelli if you encounter an unsafe condition or have a suggestion to improve the safety of our Club.Thank you.

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, once again, displayed their amazing talents in the art 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 New Year’s objectives? If your goal for the New Year 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 Corey 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 has a few special days planned. First, onWednesday the 6th, we convert the Dining Room into your favorite Steakhouse.This has proven to be one of the membership’s favorite “specialty nights”.The next week we will be hosting a special “Valentines Candlelight Dinner” in the Dining Room on Thursday the 14th. 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 always fills quickly. Later in the month, on Friday the 22nd, an adult party following an “Après Ski” theme is being planned.The next day, a special parent (grandparent)/childTea Party will be held. Please make plans to attend. When it comes to regular dining, I’d like to offer a reminder thatTavern/Grille features a selection of Brunch items every Sunday. These items are served ala carte and the menu includes all your traditional favorites. We open a bit earlier (10:30 a.m.) to better accommodate your schedules.Whatever you do, DO NOT forget about joining us for Happy Hour in the Pub on Friday evenings from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. 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 “square board” behind the bar to add to the fun. 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!

A BIT OF HISTORY

This excerpt is taken from the book,The History of Wilmington Country Club, It's First 100Years, written by Dr. Jospeh Dietz Jr.

ARGENTINA'S WINE REGIONS

TORRONTÉS: THE UNDISPUTED STAR OF SALTA

Although Salta harbors perfect conditions for producing cabernet sauvignon, malbec, syrah, and chardonnay, there’s only one stand-out star in this northwestern Argentine province, positioned beautifully at the base of the Andes. Much like Champagne in France, torrontés is produced only in Argentina, lending to its cultlike following. At almost 5,000 feet above sea level, Salta’s mountainous climate combines cool winds, arid grounds, and an abundance of sunlight, lending to the torrontés grape’s robust flavor profile, an aromatic, sweet, yet dry floral aroma with notes of rose, peach, and lemon.

MALBEC FROM THE MENDOZA REGION

Set around 70 minutes southwest of Mendoza proper, the province’s Uco Valley awaits: Mountain-flanked in nearly every direction and dominated by miles upon miles of lush vineyards, the Uco Valley is one of Mendoza’s most fertile regions, perfect for producing the country’s famed malbec. The province harbors a number of the country’s most highly reputed wineries, many of which offer biodynamic vineyards, award-winning architecture and design, and creative chef collaborations, leading the region to dominate the country’s wine production.

BOOK CLUB

Since February is Black History Month, we have chosen Geraldine Brook’s beautifully wrought novel March as our Tuesday, February 5th selection. The protagonist of the story is an idealistic Concord cleric, a character largely based on Louisa May Alcott’s transcendentalist father Bronson Alcott. Brooks researched the Civil War historical setting of Little Women and decided to create a chronicle of wartime service for the "absent father" of the March girls.When Mr. March enlisted in the Union army, he was a deeply sensitive abolitionist who was struggling to reconcile duty to his fellow man with duty to his family against the backdrop of one of the most grim periods in American history.Thirty years earlier we see March as a Yankee peddler, staying for a prolonged period in Virginia at a great plantation where he secretly teaches slaves to read and write and thereby witnesses the horrors and consequences of slavery first hand. March is more than a narrative of the cruelty, brutality and devastation involved in the Civil War; it is also a love story told in flashbacks and letters home, and most of all it has given Mr. March a voice to tell his story. Join us at 4:00 o’clock in the Ladies’ Lounge on the 5th as CathyWelsh leads the discussion of this powerful Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Our March selection, There There is Tommy Orange’s relentlessly paced multigenerational story about violence and recovery, memory and identity, and the beauty and despair woven into the history of an America few of us have ever seen. It tells the story of twelve characters, each of whom have private reasons for traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow. Fierce, angry, funny, heartbreaking - Tommy Orange’s first novel is a wondrous and shattering portrait of an America most of us have never seen - it’s destined to be a classic.

A NOTE FROM GROUNDS

The month of February has traditionally been a month of differing weather extremes, as was the case for most of 2018. We can experience significant snowfalls, or a big swing in temperatures. It is the latter we hope to take advantage of, especially with any changes in annual maintenance programs that have been the norm.

The winter season is a time for the Department to re-group and get ready for the coming growing season.There is no better time to evaluate programs that have worked and review others that need to be altered or scrapped all together. For example, refurbishment of course equipment such as ball washers/ tee markers/ hazard stakes is a tremendous undertaking and utilization of labor resources. It begs the question, does the investment in time and supplies equate to the end result? This is an area that will not shift in the short-term but will certainly be a topic as we look at the Department for the future. During the first few weeks of January, we initiated the process of evaluating the Department’s past agronomic programs, storage of equipment, and plant management products. Some changes have occurred and will continually be adjusted as we improve upon our past productivity levels.We do not want to minimalize this or to re-invent the wheel, but there are definitely different ways to cut a pizza. A segment we are currently looking to employ is the use of various forms of technology and how these mediums can benefit our operations. One avenue is to incorporate GPS mapping for the application of materials relating to plant health and protection. Just like other industries, “green keeping” has moved towards a digital world.Technology can help bridge the aspect of science with the art in turfgrass management. On the staffing front, one of our team members is moving to a new venture.Wyatt Frizzell joined the Club in 2017 as a student intern from Rutgers University, and for the past year has been an Assistant Superintendent-in-Training.Wyatt is transitioning to landscape maintenance and has accepted a position as Spray Technician with Lawn’s Unlimited in Milton, Delaware.We thankWyatt for his dedicated service and wish him well! The last few weeks have been filled with joy and excitement with a new path forward and especially, the coming growing season. Reading the copious amounts of historical documentation in the Department has been informative and brought back tremendous memories of the past. One document uncovered was my resignation letter to Dan Pierson in 2002 which I summarized with the following,“Thank you again for the opportunity to work under your command. I look down the road at my future and hope to return so I can one day walk in your footsteps.” To join the Club as Director of Grounds was my ultimate career goal, however, this is not the end of that goal. It is only our starting point of several marathons to come. On behalf of my wife Katie, children Alexa and Johnny, thank you for making our family a part of yours. Have a happy and safe February!

Warm Regards,

Jonathan Urbanski D irector of G olf C ourses & G rounds
