ry On the Club,

With autumn in full swing, we have had a lot of action here at the Club and there are many things to report. For fall, Rick has a huge guest discount: forty dollars guest greens fee (including a cart) Tuesdays through " ursdays in November - “what a deal!” It has been great seeing so many enjoy the Club lately. " is time of year is always very busy. With the holiday season approaching, we are gearing up with merchandise in the pro shops, training new sta! and developing menu options for holiday parties. I believe that we will have a major increase in business this holiday season with Jimmy’s new menu and holiday event plans. I hope you will consider your Club fi rst when planning a holiday event this year. After all, it is your restaurant that you would be supporting.

One of the most exciting things to report is the addition of Fitsum Baye to our food and beverage team. As we have experienced major increases in ala carte dining at the Club, it will be good to have more experienced management handling our growth in this area. Mr. Baye plans to focus on improving our service in the dining room and on our events; his years of experience will provide us with a new level of food service. Please be sure to contact him for any future event planning with the Club!

" ank you to all who completed the member survey this summer. A link to an executive report of the fi nding will be published and emailed out you this month. Over 500 members took the time to complete the questionnaire, and we are very pleased with the feedback that we received! As promised, the committees are reviewing the results, searching for trends and values for you, the members.

I am excited to share with you that we have had over 53 new families join the Club so far this year! We have also seen an increased retention rate in current members, which is great news as well. Membership is the key to the success of the Club and as we move forward in improving the facilities to stay current, valued membership makes all these dreams possible. I hope you continue to promote your Club to your friends and associates. " ank you to all that have sponsored new members this year. As always, if we can help you show the Club to a potential member, please contact Je! Earley or myself.

Our Club is in an excellent position to move forward into a bright future with our great membership and excellent service.

At your service,

Don Hunter, COO

About the House " e results are in from our recent survey of member likes, dislikes, don’t cares and wouldn’t it be nice ifs and I can report that there seems to be a groundswell for a fi tness center. Such an idea has been discussed by the House Committee and the Board, but we never realized how much passion for a fi tness center existed among you.

Of the 504 members who responded to the survey, 75 percent of you said you paid fees to a gym or fi tness club outside of CHCC, and 55.2 percent of you said you would like to see a fi tness center built at our Club.

Can it be done? Sure, if we are willing to devote considerable ground fl oor space to the project, thus sacrifi cing a lot of meeting and special events area, and if we are willing to spend the money necessary. And by money necessary, I mean a good bit, because such a project should not be undertaken if not undertaken properly.

Opinions on food at the Club varied, as you might expect. " irteen percent said the food was excellent. " e same number thought the food was worse than last year. " e remainder of the respondents were somewhere in between.

Most members seemed reasonably OK with the knowledge displayed by servers and with server attention. " ere were, however, a goodly number of respondents who were not that happy with the food service.

Less than half of you felt the Club should pursue outside events to o! set the cost of operations, but very few were unqualifi edly happy at the prospect.

Food preferences ran from 71 percent favoring healthy and light, to 1.7 percent choosing cheap, cheap, cheap. Locally sourced and organic foods scored 44.7 percent and Italian food came in at 36 percent approval. And 9 percent of you said you ate to live, rather than living to eat.

And lastly, let’s hear it for our general manager, Don Hunter. An overwhelming number of you felt Don was doing a good to excellent job. For which he should get a rousing “attaboy”. Larry Cheek, House Committee [email protected]

Membership NewsWhile 2013 is winding down, things around the Club are kicking into high gear! " e holiday season is always one of our busiest times, which also makes it a perfect time to bring out potential new members. Our fall membership deal is still in place, where new members can receive up to 30% o! of initiation fees. We are so close to reaching our 2013 goal, and would love to sell out our remaining memberships. I ask that you please take every opportunity in the next couple of months to bring out anyone who might be interested in Club membership.

I would also like to remind you about the Annual Membership Meeting, which will take place on Monday, December 2 at 7:00 pm. " is is an opportunity for members to come out and hear about the status of the Club, our plans for the upcoming year, as well as a forum to ask questions that you may have and to o! er suggestions or praise. We hope that you will take the time to participate.

Je! Earley, Assistant Manager and Membership Director

" e Fall Awards Banquet will be held Sunday November 17.

SMGA President Dick Ellgen

Greetings from the WGAIt’s hard to believe we are closing out yet another year, but in fact we will be celebrating our fi nal play day, closing luncheon and election of new o# cers on Tuesday, October 29. " is will be a 9:00 am shotgun, nine holes, with luncheon, awards and election of new o# cers to follow. It was a great season capped by our Triple Play event in September. Gail Ferreira chaired this new format and I think it’s an absolute winner for our future.

" irty-fi ve women CHCC golfers enjoyed this fi rst Women’s Golf Triple Play under beautiful September skies. " e Triple Play hosted the WGA Championship, a special Nifty Niner play day, and a very special 6 hole event for our newest women golfers participating in the “Link up to Golf” program sponsored at CHCC. Finishing our golf matches practically on cue, we all gathered on Isaac’s Porch for a celebration and a toast to our champions!

" e Triple Play Winner’s Circle for the WGA were as follows:

Overall Low Gross winner and WGA Champion for 2013: Lily Lee, who shot an amazing 76!

Flight One: 1st Low Net: Diane Koenigshofer, including an eagle on No. 7!

Flight Two: 1st Low Net: Jane Lamm

Flight " ree: 1st Low Net: Suzanne Kozel

Closest to the Pin: Kelly Ross

Congratulations to all participants and winners for outstanding play and on behalf of everyone in the WGA, thank you Gail for such an innovative and fun event!

I am delighted to report our TIP team will be playing Treyburn CC at Prestonwood October 17 to determine the No. One Spot. We wish our team of Diane Koenigshofer, Carolyn Hightower, Jane Lamm, and Carol Stamm good luck! And just as a point of reference, our CHCC TIP 2012 standing was last -- so great progress all TIP Team members.

A few last reminders: our new shotgun tee time moves to 10:00 am November 1, (however these are not regular play days) and mark your busy calendars now for our post holiday party on Friday, January 10, 2014 at the home of BJ and Mark Attwood.

" is is my last message as WGA President and I thank you all for your support and participation of this great sport and our organization. In particular I’d like to thank the WGA board members Carolyn Hightower, Diane Koenigshofer, Shere Stone and Linda Johnston for being such a fun and delightful team with which to work. You all are the best!

And fi nally, when the nominating team comes knocking please consider supporting the WGA in whatever capacity you can. We only succeed and grow with our members’ participation.

Best always,Laura Ellgen

CHCC Junior Player Profi leWe have decided to spotlight Gabriel Tempest for our year ending newsletter as he was certainly a pleasure to have here during the summer and has continued to take lessons throughout the fall when available. Gabriel has Cerebral Palsy, but that has not slowed him down for a second to stay active on and o! the courts. If you get the chance to meet Gabriel and talk with him, you will certainly make a new friend and leave with such a warm feeling and a great big smile on your face. We are so happy to have him a part of our tennis community here, along with his mom Connie and sister Caroline.

Butler & Pam Ballentine/Linda Butler We had close to 100 CHCC members play this year in our USTA spring, summer and fall seasons and almost 40 ladies who played in our spring and fall Triangle Tennis League. We’d like to send out a big THANK YOU to the members for being so patient and cooperative as court availability was tough on some days due to the amount of matches we had scheduled each week during the season. During those 8 weeks of high tra# c in the spring and fall months of league play, those members who were able to play before 9:30 am or after 11:00 am, we always had courts ready for them to play on despite having 2 teams at home. And to ALL the captains this year, thank you for taking on the responsibility of this “job.” Without your time and e! ort of keeping the teams organized each season, we would not be as successful as we have become each season. So keep up the great work!
