A NOTE FROM PHIL

June Greetings! It seems as if I spent a good portion of the last month welcoming back the last of our winter refugees. Usually this occurs a little earlier, but this year there was a lack of urgency on their part to return.The “welcome back” conversation usually has a similar theme - how’s the family, health, etc.The next question they ask is always the same - “We heard the weather has been rotten . . . How’s the Club?”The honest answer is “Good, but missing you!”. There were many quiet days over the last four months where we could have benefited from a little more activity and participation. We understand that your use is the result of several factors. Some we can’t control, some we can. With a nod to the weather and your busy personal schedules, we will focus on two components where we have some influence. First, a commitment that, each time you visit your Club, we will do our best to make your experience fulfilling and memorable. Second, we will tempt you with a variety of activities and events that make you want to use your Club (or suffer from fear of missing out!) When you take a look at the calendar in this issue of the Bulletin, you will see that we have developed many

opportunities for you to do just that. June is referred to as the “heart of the season”, and the Club calendar really fills up.The monthly schedule is packed with activities and events: Lobster Night, Family Bingo and Father’s Day; Golf events galore;Tennis and Fitness; Bocce and Pickleball as well as a full swimming schedule including a movie/raft night on the 21st. Information on all of these opportunities (and more!) to use your Club is contained in this month’s edition.The plan for the month is a simple one - “Come, Use, Enjoy, Repeat.” If you do, it will be a great summer! It wouldn’t be June without taking a few moments to offer some reminders about safe use of your Club.There are a number of topics that fall into this category, so let’s take them one at a time. First, parents and grandparents are reminded of the Club rule that states: “Children under the age of 10 may not be left at the Club unsupervised at any time”.While this seems very clear, let’s expand a bit on the expectation.That is, that an adult or person of responsibility is expected to be in the physical presence of young children whenever they use the Club. Children under the age of 10 should not be allowed to “explore” on their own. A FAQ relating to this is “can a child over the age of 10 qualify as a person of responsibility?”.The short answer is, it depends.The person of responsibility has to be able to affect a positive change in behavior, if necessary.That is sometimes a difficult threshold, especially for siblings. During the summer season, members are once again asked to consider their venue when determining where to park. Golfers are asked to utilize the main parking lot in an attempt to keep the upper lot available for families. This way, children won’t have to make the dangerous trek through the busy parking lot on their way to the pool.Whether walking or driving, please exercise extreme caution when in the parking lots.The opportunity for a tragedy is always present. This month’s final safety thoughts relate to Golf cart traffic, and there are two components. First, if you are driving a cart through the parking lots, please follow the appropriate flow of traffic, and also be especially aware of automobiles.The second is, if you find it necessary to drive a cart in areas around the pool and tennis courts, please be reminded that, during the summer, these paths are walkways where pedestrians have right of way. If you really need to take a cart in this area, please drive slowly, recognizing the reality that a youngster may dart in front of you at any moment. As the Club gets busy for the summer, we also tend to experience an increase in minor rule infractions.These are generally nuisance issues like cellphone usage and folks wearing clothes that aren’t really appropriate for their particular choice of venue. On the subject of appropriate attire, it seems there are a few fashion trends that don’t comply with your Club’s standards. If you are unsure of just what those standards are, the 2019 edition of your Club’s Rules & Bylaws was recently distributed and posted on the website. Granted, it doesn’t qualify as a summer beach read, but is worth a quick review none-the-less. June has something for everyone! Come out and enjoy all that your Club has to offer . . . Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing you at your Club. Phil Iannelli G eneral M anager

BOOK CLUB OurTuesday, June 4th, selection is Mademoiselle Chanel , C.W. Gortner’s well-researched rags- to-riches story of a young girl born into peasantry in rural France just before the turn of the last century. Abandoned by her father after her mother died, Gabrielle Chanel and her sisters were sent to a convent orphanage where the nuns nurtured Gabrielle’s exceptional sewing skills, a talent that would enable this ambitious young woman to achieve a life far removed from the poverty of her childhood.Transforming herself into Coco - a seamstress and sometime torch singer - the petite brunette burns with ambition, an incandescence that draws a wealthy gentleman who would become the love of her life. She immersed herself in his world of money and luxury, discovering a freedom that sparked her creativity. But it is only when her lover took her to Paris that Coco discovered her destiny.When she discarded the prevailing corseted image for sleek, simple designs that would appeal to modern women in the 1920’s and beyond, Coco’s reputation as a fashion designer spread and her couturier business exploded, taking her into rarefied society circles. But her fame and fortune could not save her from heartbreak in the years to come, and especially once Paris falls to the Nazis, forcing Coco to make choices that will haunt her. Join us on June 4th at 4:00 pm in the Ladies’ Lounge as Jill McDonald lead the discussion of this woman whose fierce ambition, strength, and artistic vision would make her an icon of the fashion industry. Note the July WCC Book Club will meet on July 9th, the second Tuesday of the month, as many people will be out of town because of the Independence Day holiday. For July, we take a journey back in time to the gritty and glamorous days of old Hollywood in The Girls in the Picture as Melanie Benjamin insightfully traces the female friendship between renowned starlet Mary Pickford and screenwriter Frances Marion.

MIXED TWO-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING The 2018 champions David DiDomenico and Nicoll Keeney will be looking to defend their title following the qualification process of the Mixed Two-Ball Championship on the North Course. The qualification process begins on June 7th and ends on June 23rd. When qualifying, teams will play the chapman format. In the chapman format, both players tee off, then they switch balls. Player A plays Player B's drive, and vice-versa. Each player hits his second shot and selects the better of the second shots. From that point until the ball is holed they play only one ball in an alternate shot format. Note that all players who post a score qualifying will make the match play bracket. Qualifying scores are used for seeding only. Men will play from the white tee markers and women will play from the green tee markers. A total of 40% of the combined team handicap is used for the event. To sign up to qualify, please see a member of the PGA Professional Staff, or visit the Mixed Events page on the 2019 Golf Tournament webpage.

A NOTE FROM GROUNDS As the golf calendar ramps up for June, so does activity for our ground’s operations. Beginning in May, our team refined the work schedules to tend to the playing surfaces of the golf courses. Mondays are usually reserved for maintenance activities, specifically the playing surfaces such as vertical mowing and topdressing of sand. Daylight hours will allow our staff to top-dress greens and conduct mowing operations of various areas following the occasional Monday golf outing.This is a change from previous years and if you happen to play golf after one of these events, you may encounter our staff as they prepare the course for the remainder of the week.

In a recent Weekly Happenings e-blast, we communicated about the turf renovation of the main practice tee. Beginning on June 19th. The practice tee will close for three days to strip the existing turf, grade the soil and install the sod. Once this is complete, the main teeing area will open for mat use until the sod has matured. We anticipate this will take less than four weeks for the seams to knit-in place and the turf to root down. During this time, the rear tee will be available to hit off grass from the expansion that occurred in May. The process we will use to harvest the existing turf is called fraise mowing. Fraise mowing utilizes hundreds of blades on a helix-shaped rotor that removes material from the surface.This type of cultivation has been used on sports turf surfaces such as football fields or soccer pitches since the mid-90s, and has made a move into the golf market in recent years. In the instance of sports turf fields and depending upon species type, a field can be fraise mowed and usable in four weeks. The organic material removed exposes plant material to produce a stronger and healthier surface. We enter the sixth month of the year and as we look back on our wet weather events, we are trending slightly lower year-to-date for totals for rain. In addition, the month of May was down two inches from a year ago, which is hopefully a sign of lesser amounts of precipitation from the yearly total in 2018 of 65 inches. As we progress through the month, the weather will turn warmer and more humid. With this expectation, we will communicate via email regarding changes to cart usage. Up to now, we have asked cart traffic to scatter in all areas. At some point in the near future, we will ask to have carts traverse up the hole on the fairway only, as we can support the stress of traffic with the irrigation system. If you are worried about grubs in your lawn, the latter part of June until July 4th is the best time to apply your pre-emergent product. This will ward-off these critters that are a great food source for skunks and foxes that can cause damage in your lawn areas in September and October.

NATIONAL JUNIOR DOUBLES The 33rd National Junior Doubles was a huge success this year with the second largest edition in NJD history. Although held late in the season, many more juniors participated due to keen doubles interest, and more players playing year round. We had 102 players compete across seventy-two partnerships with ten national titles decided: boys’ U13, U15, U17 and U19, girls’ U13, U15 and U19, and mixed U13, U15 and U19. Four players from Philadelphia, Maxwell Orr & Katherine Glaser and OliviaWalsh & Rachel Mashek successfully defended their respective boys’, mixed and girls’ U19. Mashek & Walsh made history by becoming the first partnership to win three consecutive GU19 titles, and match only Amy Gross, of Philadelphia plus Lauren McCrery’s partner a few years back, with three GU19 titles individually. Mashek & Walsh dropped just one game all tournament. Tad Carney & Benet Polikoff of Greenwich, CT pulled off a perfect title run in the BU17 division without dropping a game. Carney collects his second Junior Doubles title following up his mixed U15 title, while Polikoff celebrates his first. Congratulations to Peter Harris who finished 4th in the Boys Under 19!

7 TACTICS TO COACH KIDS AS KIDS (AND NOT MINIATURE ADULTS)

I frequently hear coaches repeat the mantra that kids are not miniature adults, only to see them then turn around and program exercises and practices using adult-driven ideas rather than youth-centered principles. Don’t believe me? Raise your hand if you (or someone you know) work with prepubescent children and use any of the following approaches: • Foam rolling. • Functional movement screens. • Standards to advance young athletes from one phase of training to another, such as every athlete must be able to complete 20 push-ups before they can bench press.

•Words and phrases like “mental toughness,”“grit,” and “drills.” • Using the term “elite” for youngsters under 12 years of age. • Cherry-picking the “best athletes” for your U-10 team while the others ride the bench. • Having an “A” and a “B” team. OK, you can put your hand down now.While there are many examples in our current sports/strength and conditioning cultures, these seven “deadly” sins illustrate the point that many coaches say they are youth-centric, but what they do tells a different story. Where is the evidence for these practices? While some of these approaches have not necessarily been shown to be detrimental, their use has no evidence grounded in science and could be more harmful than beneficial. Since there have not been controlled studies conducted in the prepubescent population, we can’t be sure yet, as there is no evidence one way or the other. These pursuits, however, are based on adult thinking, showing that coaches don’t always really mean it when they say kids are not miniature adults. Just because it works for high school, college, and pro athletes, does not necessarily mean it is applicable for youngsters (hence the mantra in the first place, kids are not miniature adults). Each of the following seven practices (which match up to the seven bullet points above), are evidence-based and help kids reach their potential.To be truly youth-centered, consider using the following practices: • Let Kids Solve Movement Problems • UseYour ‘Coach’s Eye’ to Observe Foundational Movements • Promote Opportunities for Kids to Develop Competence in All Fitness Attributes • Focus on the Phrase ‘Physical Literacy’ • Replace ‘Elite’ withWords Like ‘Wellness’ and ‘Balance’ • Teach Kids Every Position in a Variety of Sports (and How to Play on Their Own) • Instead of an ‘A’ and a ‘B’Team, Mix Kids of All Abilities Together When we repeat that kids are not miniature adults, here are some developmental considerations so that we can make the right decisions for strength and conditioning and sports practice: Physical : Children’s growth and development is nonlinear, meaning it does not always follow a straight path.Watch kids who seem to have a decrease in performance (especially during their growth spurt, which is why it is called “adolescent awkwardness”). Meet them where they are across the developmental continuum.They do not have the fully mature physical size, strength, and stamina of an adult, so they should not be trained the same way.Always err on the side of caution. Kids have thinner skin (literally). Children breathe in more air per pound of body weight, while taking fewer overall breaths per minute. Children have less fluid in their bodies, so fluid loss has a bigger effect.They often believe they are not working as hard as they are, so coaches should monitor them and provide adequate rest breaks. Emotional : Children feel less of a sense of control in many situations, understand less about certain situations, and have less experience at bouncing back from challenging situations, so mental stress can be harder on them. They may not feel situations with the same intensity as adults.That does not mean they need to be mentally tougher—it means they are kids. Coaches must recognize where each athlete is on the developmental continuum for physical, emotional, and social growth.That said, kids need to be able to fail, and know that is often how learning occurs. Social : Kids tend to be self-centered, developmentally—meaning they focus mainly on themselves. Their own personality is not yet fully developed. Their role models are adults, usually their parents. They have not yet developed empathy.Youngsters need a caring, child-centric coach who understands the developmental differences and needs of kids.When coaches focus on the physical, emotional, and psychosocial developmental needs of kids, it cultivates a kids-first culture and ensures that their physical literacy through sport, fitness, and play is nurtured.Youngsters exposed to this type of environment are more likely to be motivated to participate since their needs are being met. Kids also will drop out less as they will be having fun (not having fun is the No. 1 reason kids stop playing sports; not playing and getting yelled at are two reasons kids don’t have fun). This approach provides kids with a wide variety of movement opportunities across a broad spectrum of sports. Since fitness, play, and fun are included, aspiring athletes will have a reduced risk of injury. Since all kids are given consistent opportunities to enhance their movement capabilities, they will develop the movement competence and self-efficacy that is so important for them to want to continue to move in sports and throughout their lives. - Click to read the full article on Simpli Faster's website.
