PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The question I have gotten most frequently, as of late, is how the search for the new Director of Grounds is going? The Selection Committee, being chaired byTom Humphrey, is doing a wonderful job.An experienced search firm was retained shortly after Dan Pierson announced his retirement. The firm conducted a national search and the response was outstanding. The firm screened all the candidates and presented the most promising to the Committee in late September for their review and consideration for an interview. The Committee is now interviewing and, based on the high quality of the finalists, will have a difficult choice to make.We fully expect to have this position filled by the end of the year in time for a smooth transition. Another question I have been asked recently is how do I participate on a committee? Each Committee Chair is responsible for appointing a diverse selection of interested members to their Committee. The success of our committees relies heavily on the active participation of those serving. If you are interested in volunteering on a particular committee, please let the committee chair or myself know within the next two months. All committees are appointed annually. Like many of you, I frequently look to call or send a note to fellow members. The main source of contact information is the Member Directory. This information is conveniently located on the Club’s website, but unfortunately, the majority of our membership have not entered any contact information. This information is kept private and secure and is only accessible by fellow members. Please take a moment and click on the link to access the member directory and enter your contact information. It is a very quick and easy thing to do and would be very helpful to your fellow members. Finally, I would like to remind you that we are currently seeking contributions to the Centennial Scholarship Fund. This is one of the most important recruitment and retention programs we have for our staff and you can really make a difference in the education of one of our young employees or dependents.Thank you. Gary Ferguson President

A NOTE FROM PHIL Fall Greetings! One again, my “Newsletter folder” is riddled with notes to be shared. All of the topics are relevant to some, and some of the topics are relevant to all, so please take the time to give each subject the consideration it deserves.

and might sneak up on us if we aren’t careful. Plan on enjoying your feast with us! (Don’t forget that we send some “leftovers” home for later). If you can’t join us, you may be interested in taking some Thanksgiving with you. Once again, Chef Tip is providing a special pre-order program to make the process even easier. • OnWednesday, October 10th the Fall Men’s Member- Guest golf event will be held and on the evening of the 19th, a return of the ever-popular “Glow Ball” Mixed Event is scheduled.There is also the Fall Men’s Member- Member on October 6th and 7th. Lots of good golf is still to be played so don’t put those clubs away just yet! • We hope you will make plans to join us on Sunday afternoon, November 11th to celebrate Dan Pierson’s retirement after twenty-five years of service. • With the cooler weather, many outdoor athletes will find their way back to our awesome fitness facility. Please be reminded to wipe down equipment before and after use - especially as we move into the cold and flu season. • Frost delays go hand-in-hand with the topic of “cooler mornings”.The Golf Shop does great at notifying golfers of delays, but members who walk or run the courses in the mornings also need to be aware of the damage they can cause when the grass goes “crunch” under foot. When that happens, please stay on the cart paths. October usually marks the time when many members begin the annual migration to warmer climes for the winter.When you decide to head south, travel safely, stay healthy and we look forward to your return.

• Outdoor dining on the patio will remain open (weather permitting) until Sunday October 14th. Enjoy! • The Golf Course Snack Bars will remain staffed through October 14th, as well. After that, they will be open on the “honor system” as long as play requires. • As we move into the indoor racquets season, please be reminded that use of the indoor tennis courts must be confirmed by signing in.Also, be cognizant of all guest rules, taking care to properly register their presence. • Several social events are on the books for the month. A complimentary Cider & Mead tasting on October 4th in Pub 37; our Family Fall Festival on October 14th and the all-new Harvest Dinner on October 24th. Details of each are in this Bulletin. • Last year, our Halloween Carnival was “re-imagined” and was scary successful. This year it will be held on Friday the 26th. Guests are welcome! • Barbara and Sam tell me that several good dates remain available for Holiday entertaining. This year, why not host a hassle-free party at the Club? No one does it better or easier, and our decorations promise to be fantastic. • Mark your calendar! Christmas Candlelight dinner reservations can be made beginningTuesday, November 6th by calling the Front Desk. Phones open at 0900. Historically, all three dates fill very quickly. • Thanksgiving is early this year (November 22nd)

For those who remain . . . I look forward to seeing you at the Club!

WINES OF THE MONTH

SIMI Sonoma County, California

Giuseppe and Pietro Simi founded Simi Winery in 1876.The brothers had traveled fromTuscany, Italy, to California for the Gold Rush and by 1876 started making wine. Great wine begins in the vineyard, which is why SIMI made its home in the heart of the spectacular Sonoma County over 140 years ago. Our specialized and diverse AlexanderValley and Russian River Valley vineyards allow us to craft a remarkable range of wines, from powerful, nuanced Cabernet Sauvignons to cool, elegant Chardonnays.

SIMI CHARDONNAY, SONOMA COUNTY 2017 $8.50/Glass $32.00/Bottle

SIMI MERLOT, SONOMA COUNTY 2015 $10.25/Glass $39.00/Bottle

The 2015 Sonoma County Merlot is deep garnet in color with a ruby edge.The nose is a compelling mixture of blackberry, dark cherry, and raspberry with cocoa, clove, and vanilla framing the bright fruit. On the palate, bright red fruit, red plum, black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry are framed by light toast and sweet vanilla notes, while a certain spice lends depth and weight. This medium-bodied wine finishes with toasty oak notes and rich, firm cocoa-like tannins. 81% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon. Most of the fruit for this wine, rich with blackberry and plum, comes from the Alexander Valley, including grapes from the Red Fan and Los Amigos estate vineyards. The remaining fruit is harvested from Goldfields and Bed Rock, each offering unique character, from red cherry and light spice to depth, richness, and light licorice spice, culminating in an incredibly balanced wine, layered with ripe fruit flavors.

The hue of this wine is brilliantly clear, golden straw. The nose is similarly demonstrative, with expressive notes of tangerine, white peach, green apple, Meyer lemon, and orange blossom laced with hints of butter, cream and vanilla. It all comes together on the palate with fresh flavors of tangerine, lemon curd, stone fruit, white peach, and nectarine framed by vanilla followed by an orange peel on the finish. The grapes are sourced from five regions to make our 2017 Sonoma County Chardonnay, with 33% coming from Alexander Valley, 23% from Carneros, 21% from Russian River Valley, 18% from Sonoma Coast, and 5% from Dry Creek Valley. Grapes from the Sangiacomo vineyard in Carneros, Sonoma County’s coolest growing region, add brilliant acidity and bright, pure, mouthwatering flavors of green apple, tangerine, and lemon.

BOOK CLUB For our Tuesday, October 2nd selection, we have chosen Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink, a physician turned journalist.When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, flood waters rose and surrounded Memorial Medical Center stranding hundreds of patients and medical personnel. As the exhausted doctors and nurses faced supply shortages, breakdowns in internal and external communications, power failures, days without running water, air conditioning and lights, the lack of clear evacuation plans seemed ominous. When adequate evacuation resources were not found, the staff were forced to make life and death decisions on which patients should leave the hospital first. In Part 2 of the book, Fink vividly portrays the legal and political cataclysm that ensued for health care workers when state authorities pursue a homicide investigation. Dr. Fink won a Pulitzer Prize for her exceptionally thorough investigation of the events. Join us at 4:00 pm in the Ladies’ Locker Room on the 2nd as There Fiechter leads our discussion about the ethics of the decisions made by the medical staff and the fairness of the decisions reached at the homicide investigation. Our choice for November, Mark Sullivan’s Beneath a Scarlett Sky , is the triumphant, epic saga of a young Italian man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.This is the story of the efforts of everyday Italians who risked their lives to save their fellow countrymen during the brutal Nazi occupation. It’s a thrilling account.

A NOTE FROM GROUNDS

GREENS APPROACH

This month we take the opportunity to talk about a sometimes overlooked area of the golf courses, the greens approach. First please note that at the time of re-grassing the South during fall of 2007, the approaches were determined to be 40 feet in depth and grassed with the same Tyee bentgrass as the greens. They would be maintained at a cutting height midway between greens

overwatering that leads to softer conditions. These concerns each factor into the decision making for our maintenance programs on approaches of both golf courses. Our first priority with approaches is to limit the amount of traffic, particularly turning equipment, to avoid that extra stress created. We accomplish this goal with the use of plastic turning mats for the greens mowers to turn on and keeping the bigger fairway mowers away from the approaches with side to side “clean-up” passes starting at the bottom of the approach, working back into the fairway. The amount of these passes varies with each mowing in an effort to rotate traffic patterns effectively limiting long-term stress. We strive to treat our approaches as similar to putting greens as we can in a number of ways. With our aeration program, we are working with the same goal as we do on putting greens to promote improved firmness with core removal and sand filling. When labor and weather allow, we utilize the sand injection Graden machines to aggressively remove organic matter and replace it with sand in the upper soil profile. Frequent topdressing allows us to continue diluting organic matter between aeration cycles. Our weekly practices include mowing the approaches with lighter weight triplex mowers and rolling with the same equipment we use on the putting greens. Another step that we employ is to keep the approaches on the same fertility and plant protectant spray programs as the putting greens. As our irrigation system does fall into the category of older, we have taken steps to limit the potential for overwater of these tight areas as well. As we only rely on greens sprinklers for watering in plant protectant spray applications or short syringe cycles, our main concern are the green bank sprinklers that throw outward from the putting greens. In most cases we have limited the use of the front two sprinklers that overlap on the approach. This briefly attempts to describe all of the strategies combined to provide firmer and more consistent playing surfaces that, when successfully accomplished, increase the number of strategies a player has for an approach shot into the putting green and, with more options, a more playable and enjoyable game of golf. Dan Pierson Director of Grounds

and fairways, which are now the same as the fairway height. This area of the playing surface connecting fairway to putting green is a critical one that can often provide added strategy to the golfer.When conditions are favorable, an approach can be commonly used for a “bump and run” shot, allowing the player to roll the ball at greater length in closing to the hole- location. Depending on the slope of the putting green, the day’s hole-location, and overall firmness of the putting surface, this potentially may prove the only option to achieve the results one desires. Recognizing the importance of this area, the design, physical condition, on-going agronomic programs, and daily maintenance of approaches sets the stage for how they can be utilized in the ground game. Although in most cases golfers only “traffic” an approach as they walk onto a green, in our maintenance operations any approach is an area that receives a significant amount of traffic simply as result of its proximity to the entities on either side. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to avoid collateral traffic overlapping in this usually tight area. This most typically occurs in the form of both green and fairway mowers having to turn by some means at the end of their mowing pass. Another challenge is that the mowing height is higher than putting greens and allows the opportunity for organic matter to accumulate more quickly, coupled with the reality that aeration programs for approaches are not as aggressive in relation to putting greens. It might also be noted that a component that might lead to undesirable performance of an approach is moisture content of the soil. In older and less sophisticated irrigation designs, sprinklers that water the putting greens and fairways tend to overlap on approaches, creating the potential for

All three racquet sports gear up at WCC in October. Men's paddle begins Wednesday, October 10th and ladies' paddle begins Monday, October 22nd. Local paddle events are listed in the Bulletin in the Paddle section. Men’s paddle practice and clinics begin Monday, October 8th. Ladies' practices and mixed clinics, as well as junior clinics begin in October. Our junior squash and tennis clinics have begun throughout the week. Let us know if your junior would like to participate! Indoor space is limited so be sure to sign up early. Our Annual Junior Halloween party will once again be in the IndoorTennis Courts.This evening is always a fun and active event for the kids.We are offering adult tennis mixed doubles monthly on Friday nights with the October event on the 12th. Have fun playing tennis and hanging out in The Hut. Several in house squash leagues and ladders will begin in October. Refer to the upcoming racquets events section in the Bulletin. See you on the courts. We often hear the question “Will playing one racquet sport help to improve another racquet sport.” The answer to this question is yes. Playing tennis, squash and paddle are all positive transfer sports that will help you improve another racquet sport.The quick hands and reflexes required at the net for paddle and for volleying at theT for squash helps your net play in tennis. In addition, learning how to play the walls in squash and screens in paddle helps players to understand the angles and shots required to be successful. Although tennis and squash require different stroke techniques the use of the continental grip and achieving backspin in squash will help a tennis player use backspin as an alternate shot to the topspin usually hit in tennis. Therefore the tennis player will become a more complete player with varied shots.The long rallies typically seen in paddle will help players in both tennis and squash to be patient and feel comfortable in long rallies before going for an aggressive shot. Footwork and movement patterns including ready hops, first step quickness, moving diagonally to the ball and conditioning are all necessary characteristics of strong racquet players used in all three sports. The modern cross training is also beneficial for those who participate in various sports and want to improve in their main sport. So next time you’re asked to play another racquet sport seize the opportunity to enjoy a new game and improve your current racquet sport you are playing.

Class Size Policy: To ensure each player receives the best quality of instruction we will be limiting class sizes to 6 players per court. Classes will also need at least four players for the program to go forward. Make Up Class Policy: Kids can make up two classes in the following session. If your child is not able to come, please let us know so that players on the waiting list or who’d like to drop in are able to join the class that day. Drop-In Policy: Kids are able to drop-in into any appropriate level class that is not full (6 kids). The drop-in rate is slightly higher per class than registering for the entire session.

JUNIOR ACADEMY These classes are for players who want to pursue more competitive opportunities and meet WCC Jr. Tennis Pathway parameters. Competition players will be encouraged to play on our Junior League Teams, as well as compete in both District (DE), Sectional (DE, NJ, PA) USTA tournaments. Classes will include on-court playing and off-court fitness training portions. All players who register for the full session will receive an End of Session Player Review.

THE DROP/LOBBER This player will move you to all four corners. Plays with a slower tempo. Exploits weak frontcourt games.They have good racquet skills and are tactically strong. Pros : Slows the tempo. Moves the opponent to all four corners. Keeps opponent from hitting the ball hard and stretches them out.This works well against taller players, as they have to go low and then high. Cons :The only way to pass an opponent is to go over them. Once they have lost control of the T it is hard to regain it within a rally. Once they are on the run, it is hard for them to control the ball. Lobs and drops require touch and finesse. STRATEGIES AGAINST THE DROP/LOBBER • Move up in the court to guard the frontcourt, particularly when they are behind • Use counter drops • Play tight rails

• Play high tempo from the midcourt • Go short only when you are ready
