II hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving and have a great
time through the rest of theholiday season.
As most of the membership knows,Rod Thompson, Golf Professional
atKenwood Golf and Country Club, for thepast 34 years, has
announced his retirementfrom the Club. Through a job
positionposting with the Professional GolfAssociation of America we
have received alist of qualified applicants for the Head
Proposition. A committee made up of memberrepresentatives, Mary
Mayberry, TimMcGarrity, Jill Headley, Mike Urquhart,Bob Ott, Gus
Bessalel, Greg Bremer, JohnNunez and Mike Mitchell, has beenworking
long hours as they diligently workthrough the selection process. I
wish tothank each member of the committee fortheir energy, time,
vision and passion while
FROM THE PRESIDENTstriving to find the best and most
qualifiedcandidate who encompasses all thequalities we are seeking.
As this yearcomes to a close, an announcement will bemade as to the
identity of our new Golfprofessional.
The interior of the golf shop is slatedto undergo a major
renovation with aredesigned layout to include new servicecounter
with new fixtures, furniture andlighting. Work will begin in
January 2012,and will take about three and a half monthsto
complete.
The Golf Committee has given John,the Golf Course
Superintendent, the nod togo ahead and start repairs on the
coursebunkers. He will remove the sand, adddrainage and when the
temperature is righthe will spread the “Klingstone” and putfresh
white sand in the bunkers. John isgoing to get a jump on the work
during thewinter so that when springtime comes andthe temps rise
the bunkers will be completeand ready for play.
Also, the tree program is now underway for holes 2-8. We now
know the bestand most compatible types of trees to beplanted and
where they will need to go onthe course. We are holding off on the
treeprogram on the clubhouse side of the
course due to the pond project. There willbe too much change to
the course as aresult of ponds, and we do not want to haveto repeat
any of the tree work.
I am optimistic that the pond project,still under way and in
“process” remains ontrack, although a very slow track and I
amhopeful to start the enhancements inOctober of 2012.
The new golf logo is going well.Thank you to all the members who
took thetime to provide input and drawings; wehave some real
artists here at the club.
Another new project under way is thechildren’s outdoor pool
area; a “zero entry”baby pool with a frog slide and enhancedwater
features. This project is slated to becompleted by the opening of
the 2012summer pool season. This will make thebaby pool so much
more enjoyable for theparents and the small ones.
I appreciate the feed back we havereceived from the membership
on the club’svarious improvements and your forwardvision of Kenwood
Country Club. I wish tothank you all for your support in 2011
andyour continued support in 2012.
Happy Holidays with the wish of ahealthy, joyous and peaceful
New Year.

Tree Lighting just outside theClubhouse with 5000 tree lights to
light upthe night, hot chocolate and cookies, opento all, the

EveChampagne Brunch featuring an extensivemenu with Harpist Holly
Avesian, HanukahDinner Party, Pre-New Year’s Eve Dance,and New

Our Holiday Open House is onThursday, December 8 at 6:30pm. It

And now, on to our pre-New Years Eveevent, I have been
privileged to watch manybands/acts over the years at Kenwood,

talents of this man.He covers everything from Motown toSinatra,
smooth, sophisticated and thatvoice…..! New Year’s Eve is one of
thoseevenings when most people are torn onwhat to do, family,
friends, go downtown,etc., and most end up doing nothing. So
wedecided to celebrate the New Year the daybefore, leaving you New

and we are hoping that you allcome out and experience this evening.
I canpromise you that you will not want theevening to end! For

OO ur fall practices were a great success, with a regular crew
of current and aspiring interclubplayers joining together on
Tuesdayafternoons. The kids braved occasionalwind, rain and some
colder weather to keeptheir swings grooved, but were rewarded
bymany fun afternoons playing with friends,and a special guest
competitor for the finaltwo weeks, our own Assistant Pro,
SamBoyd.
Thanks to all of the parents who cameout to supervise,
especially Cathy
McGarrity, who was a regular fixture eachweek. We’d also like to
offer a special nodof appreciation to Sam, whose presence at
acouple of practices motivated the juniors toelevate their games in
some fun four ballmatches. In one hotly contested match, Samwowed
the boys with his monster drivesand chipped in on the 17th hole for
birdieto secure a win for himself and his youngpartner.
Stay tuned for information about awinter rules seminar, spring
practices and
other special junior golf events in thespring. In the meantime,
don’t forget thatthe heated hitting bays are up and available,so no
need to let your clubs hibernate forthe winter!
Happy Holidays to all and see younext year. ★

First Place Winners – Dana, Mary and Betty Second Place Winners
– Iola, Carolyn and Alicia
KWGA
By Betty Churchill
PP ennies from heaven, pioggia,pluie, regen – whatever you call
it, we have suffered rainall season long. Of the 22 KWGAtournaments
planned for the 2011 season,eight were cancelled due to rain. It
may“droppeth as gentle rain”, but it surelycurtailed play. Speaking
of water, KenwoodClub is still waiting for the MontgomeryCounty
permit to install water features onthe course – if this does not
happen byJanuary 1, 2012, the project will not happenin 2012 – stay
tuned. This season’s golfevents culminated on October 26 – the
dateof the Chairladies Invitational event. Theday dawned bright and
dry, but by the timethe 15 or so players were several holesfrom
finishing, the “you-know what”started and we were “dewey” by the
timewe broke for lunch. It was a fun event, andthe winners were
team Mary Mayberry,Dana Peterson, Betty Churchill and ourblind draw
Ellen Roche! The second placewinners were Iola Abood, Carolyn
Clewell,and Alicia Sosman, and everybody’sfavorite blind draw,
Ellen Roche. A jollylunch followed. We closed out the
officialseason surrounded by Halloween finery.
We have just held our annual KWGAFall meeting and election of
the new slateof officers – that on Wednesday, November9. We voted
for our new executive board,and they are the following – Harriet
Moss,Chairman; Carrie Lin, 1st Vice Chairmanand Tournament
Chairman; Ellen Roche,2nd Vice Chairman and HandicapChairman; Ann
Pelham, Treasurer and BarbUmdenstock, Secretary. Well done ladies
ofthe retiring board, and good luck and times

Chairlady’s Invitational
to those serving on the new board. Themembership knows that we
are in verygood hands! We thanked all the other chairsor reps of
the myriad of committees forserving faithfully and well for this
year. Wewere reminded of all the functions theyserve and reviewed
accomplishmentsrealized in this busy year. The treasurerreported
that we have $3000. in ouraccount. We were told of winning events
–MD State Golf Association (swept by
Kenwood players); District Play – we have21 qualified players
now and will field twoteams of six in 2012. Marilyn Starr willserve
as the Vice President of the greaterMPG organization. Ann Nichols,
our rep tothe MD State Golf Association, said thatthe Kenwood
hosted event was swept byour own players – Monica Hamrick,Marilyn
Starr, Teresa Shingler, and EllenRoche. Ann Bergquist reported on
rules and

MSGA matters and the completion of ourhandicap allocation
project. Our recent pastChairlady, Joyce O’Brien cautioned thenewly
elected officers to expect theirhandicaps to crater.
Another important issue which wasbrought up and explained and
voted on as itis a change to our general rules. This is achange in
eligibility to play in either Nineror KWGA events – that is, a
member ofeither group could choose to play(appropriate Handicap
needed) in eithergroups Club events. We would retain ourWednesday
and Thursday play days. Toplay in both groups events, one must be
adues paying member of both groups. Acommittee will be set up to
work this out.This was voted on and approved by KWGAmembers
present. It is felt that this changewill add to the participation
in all events.
Also, most importantly, December 7 isthe date of the fabulous
KWGA/NinersHoliday luncheon – be there for noon, inyour seasonal
finery. That sort of wraps itup for the year 2011!★

AA few months back I mentioned the passing of a famous Fitness
legend,Jack LaLanne. Last month, we lost a localKenwood legend, Mr.
Walter Kennevan atthe age of 99. There is not enough room towrite
about the exceptional life Mr.Kennevan led, so I am going to focus
onjust a few things we can learn from himregarding fitness:
You are never too old to start aFitness Program. Mr. Kennevan
came to theFitness Center to improve his walking andfitness at the
young age of 94!
You are never too old to see progressin your fitness and
well-being. Mr.Kennevan was using a cane and walkerwhen he first
started training with Frenchie(one of our Kenwood Personal
Trainers).Not only did he get off the cane and walkerbut worked up
to doing 30 minutes on therecumbent bike. And it was not just
easypedaling but a challenging cross-trainingprogram!
Have people to support your Fitness!Talk to your family and
friends about yourFitness Program, so they can encourage
you and keep you motivated. Even betterhave them be your workout
buddy andcome to the gym with you! You can alsoturn to our personal
trainers for help instructuring your fitness program andkeeping you
on the right track to reach yourgoals!
So don’t delay, take some time out ofyour busy day and do
something good foryourself and your health! And if you needsome
support or a bit more motivation…the staff here at the Fitness
Center are justwaiting to assist you in your fitnessjourney! Give
us a call (301) 320-0397 oremail me at [email protected]. ★

By Carrie Corey, Spa Director
AA s 2011 draws to a close and we ready for what many would
describe as thebusiest month of the year, it is importantthat we
all just take a deep breath and try tokeep our stress and tension
level in amanageable range. It is so easy to getcaught up in the
craziness of the holidaysespecially with so many parties,
gatherings,outings, family obligations and traditionsthat we feel
we must participate in. Mysuggestion is this, have a game plan
forhow you can manage things that areimportant for you to do. For
those eventsthat you don’t have time for, or are just toomuch for
you to manage, let theindividual(s) know that you regret not
beingable to attend, but would love to plansomething after the
holidays when youhave more time and can really enjoy beingtogether.
We are all guilty of overcommitment, and the only one who suffersin
the end is us. Even with all we have onour plates, we can still
make it a priority totake care of ourselves.
Each year around various holidays, Iremind the Kenwood
membership that wehave some wonderful gift giving options forthose
family members on your list. Spaservices whether it be a
massage,acupuncture, facial or a combination,makes a wonderful gift
that allows therecipient to use when they have time or arein need.
Gift Certificates for some giftgivers may feel like the easy way
out, but Ican tell you from our perspective in the spa,the
individuals redeeming the giftcertificates are ALWAYS excited
andappreciative of the gift. And after all, whosaid gift giving and
showing ourappreciation for our loved ones needs to behard. Since
the New Year seems to be atime when we tend to focus on taking
bettercare of ourselves, I can think of few thingsbetter than
having a massage, acupuncture,or facial where the therapist not
only helpsto address current issues but works to help
each individual come up with a plan forbetter self care going
forward.
I could be accused of being biasedtoward Kenwood’s Spa as the
ultimate giftgiving destination, but I don’t know, shy ofan
umbrella drink next to your massagetable located in a private
cabaña beach side,that it gets any better!
We will be offering a Winter SpaSpecial which focuses on the two
mostimportant areas to help aid in totalrelaxation, the
head/neck/shoulders and thefeet. Your foot treatment begins with
anexfoliating sugar scrub, followed by amassage and application of
Rose Mud fromthe Provence region of France. While yourfeet are
enjoying the wonderfullysmoothing and deeply hydrating benefits
ofRose Mud, you will be treated to a head,neck and shoulder
massage. Upon removalof the mud, your lower legs will receive
astimulating circulatory massage with sheabutter to further
moisturize your feet. TheOne Hour treatment is $100 and will
beavailable during the winter months ofDecember, January and
February.
December brings us New Hours forFacials and Waxing. Olena will
now beavailable on Sundays only from noon to6pm Sundays for
December, January, andFebruary. During December we will also
beoffering 20% off all Ageless ImageSkincare products.
We do not keep an extensive inventoryof our skincare products so
before you runout call us and leave a message so we canmake sure we
have the products on handfor you when you need them.
We hope to lessen the stress of theholidays for you and those
you care about,but please remember that when you arescheduling an
appointment, we have a 24hour cancellation policy, and all
non-members must be accompanied by amember as their guest
(applicable guest feeapplies) to the Fitness Center for
theirappointment.
We love what we do but we need YOUto come in to enjoy our
handiwork. The
FROM THE SPASpa will have events scheduled during theFitness
Center’s Member Appreciation Dayin January, but we hope that
anytime youhave a question about our services you stopin the Spa,
or call us so we can provide youwith the information you need.
Have a safe holiday season and ahealthy and more relaxed 2012!
