Kyle Stanley Rallies to Win the Phoenix Open
1ST WIN ON THE PGA TOUR
By Bob Ring, Director of Membership Services & Marketing
Kyle Stanley at the Phoenix Open
Berkeley Hall Resident and Touring Pro, Kyle Stanley, won the PGA Phoenix
Open in dramatic fashion by overcoming an eight-stroke deficit on the final
round. This was Kyle’s 1st win on the PGA Tour and qualifies him for the 2012
Masters and Accenture Match Play Championship.
For the second straight week, the PGA Tour event ended with Kyle Stanley in
tears. This time, they were tears of joy as he closed out the final round with a
bogey-free score of 6-under 65. He did so after holing a 4-foot par putt on the
par-4 18th to finish 15-under 269. This was a stroke ahead of playing partner
Ben Crane and two ahead of Spencer Levin who started the day with an 8-stroke
lead.
Our Members were riveted to their televisions along with millions of other golf
enthusiasts across the country as CBS sports announcers Jim Nance and Nick
Faldo described the drama that was unfolding. It was only a week prior when
Kyle had suffered a devastating loss to Brandt Snedeker on the second playoff
hole at Torrey Pines. On that day, he began the final round with a seven shot lead,
and still had a four-shot cushion as he stood on the tee at the par-5 18th hole.
Viewers watched in disbelief as his pitch shot to the 18th-green spun back off
the green, down the slope and into the water. After taking a drop, Kyle three-putted from 45-feet away to force a playoff.
On the second playoff hole, he lost to Snedeker when his 5-foot par putt caught the right edge of the cup and lipped out.
It was hard to imagine that Kyle would be able to recover from such a setback as quickly as he did. The next week at the Phoenix
Open, he once again played brilliantly, and wrote what many consider to be one of the best redemption stories ever seen in golf
history. In just one week, he experienced about every emotion that a PGA Tour player can possibly go through. From turmoil to
triumph, his win brought tears of joy from fans coast-to-coast.
On the final day of the Phoenix Open, Kyle began 8-strokes behind the leader Spencer Levin, who was playing two groups
behind him. He got off to a fast start with birdies on 5 of the first 11 holes he played to move to 13-under par – just three strokes
off the lead. Kyle, who is only 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, ranks as one of the longest drivers on Tour. On hole #13, he powered
a 376-yard drive through the desert to set up the tying two-putt birdie. Again on the 14th hole, he hit a 325-yard drive down the
middle and holed a 12-footer to take the lead. Kyle then parred the final three holes, hitting a difficult recovery shot to within
20-feet from an awkward angle under a cactus to the right of the green on the short par-4 17th. “It’s not a shot you really ever
practice,” he said, “I had a pitching wedge out when Brett (Waldman his caddie), gave me the sand wedge. I just shut the face
and tried to play a little bit of a hook, and it came off perfect.”
At his press conference following the event Kyle was quoted as saying; “You go from a very low point to a high point.
I’m not sure that I expected to recover this quickly….I think the biggest challenge was seeing if I could put last week behind me.
I think I did.”
His victory became one of the greatest comeback stories in PGA Tour History!
A congratulatory sign on display at the entrance to Berkeley Hall
The banner and billboards were compliments of Berkeley Hall resident, Steve Southern.
A GREAT BIG Show of Support for Kyle
Following Kyle Stanley’s win at the PGA Phoenix Open, Members were anxious to share their excitement with all of
their friends and the public at large. Steve Southern, a Berkeley Hall Member stepped forward the next day and
designed a banner to congratulate Kyle that measured 7’x 14’ that was displayed in front of the main entrance to Berkeley
Hall adjacent to Highway #278. If that were not enough, he also had his company at Lamar Advertising design two
billboards which were displayed on Hwy I-95 (exit 109) and Hwy 170 in Bluffton. The signs were prominently on
display for over a week. It was reported by our security guards that many motorists that had passed by and read the
sign had tooted their horns as an acknowledgement of his win. We want to thank Steve for the design and construction
of the signage and for displaying them at such visible locations - all in celebration of Kyle’s first win on the PGA Tour.

Derek and Kyle Film a Fitness Segment
for the Golf Channel
Derek Lemire & Kyle Stanley at the Golf Fitness Academy
Following Kyle’s win at the Phoenix Open, he and Berkeley’s Spa &
Fitness Director, Derek Lemire, flew out to the Golf Fitness Academy
in Oceanside, California to film a fitness demonstration for the Golf
Channel. Derek is a certified TPI (Titleist Performance Institute)
trainer and has been intimately involved in Kyle’s training program.
During the filming, Kyle and Derek walked through key aspects
of Kyle’s fitness routine which they focus on in the gym. The areas
included pre-round warm up, core strength, and power routines.
The Golf Fitness Academy is a recurring show on the Golf Channel showcasing some of the top players in the world
and their fitness regimes. The 30-minute show will air on the Golf Channel in mid-March. Derek Lemire also uses
the TPI model in his training with all of his golf specific clients at Berkeley Hall and has had some wonderful
results!

Congratulations to the Celli Family
In July, 2011, we welcomed Laura Jean
and Charles Celli to the community as new
Members. Charles had recently been transferred to work at the Gulfstream headquarters
in Savannah, GA. from Southlake Texas. They
purchased a home site on Good Hope Road
and have since submitted plans to the ARB to
Alexandria Celli with golf coach, Kelly Hester
begin construction on their new home.
As a follow-up to the story, we were recently informed that their daughter
Alexandria has signed a Letter of Intent to play golf for The University of Georgia.
In addition to her scholastic achievements, she won the 2010 Des Moines Junior
Open, posted 7 top-10 finishes on the Texas Junior Golf Tour (TJGT) in 2010 and
2011, and was selected as a first-team, Class 5A - All-District 7 Honoree.
As a University of Georgia “Bulldog,” Alexandria will soon be competing against
the best women golfers in the nation. The superior training and practicing facilities
found at our Club was yet another reason why they have chosen to live in Berkeley
Hall. The golf facilities that we offer our members will certainly provide her with an
opportunity to achieve her goals in the future. Congratulations to the Celli Family
and welcome once again to Berkeley Hall.

Report from the
Architectural Review Board
By Wendy Wagner, ARB Administrator
Spring is a season when thoughts turn to sprucing
up the exterior of your home, whether through
improvements in area landscaping, painting or structural
renovations. Listed below are some excerpts taken from ARB Standards that
you want to consider when planning your home improvement projects.
Improvements: No alteration, including painting, affecting the exterior
appearance of any building, structure or landscape shall be made without the
prior approval of the ARB. A request for approval must be submitted to the
ARB, including a completed application, any applicable fees, and all drawings
necessary to define the proposed improvement and color samples.
International Night
International Night is a bistro-style dinner
that is served with continental flair. This was
the 3rd year that the staff hosted the event
and it sold out to 160 members who attended. There
were 10 food courts stationed throughout the clubhouse
that were appointed with custom decorations and as the
night progressed, Members enjoyed sampling the native
dishes and learning more about their national heritage.
Repainting/Re-Staining: A repainting application must be submitted to the ARB
along with samples. Repainting or re-staining may not take place until approval
has been granted. This includes repainting and re-staining a house the same color.
Landscaping: Every property owner is responsible for preventing the
development of any unclean, unsightly or unkempt conditions of buildings or
yards. In formal landscaped areas, bed and lawn areas must be maintained.
In natural areas weed growth must be controlled. Any proposed changes in
landscaping such as additional removal or planting of any kind, fences,
fountains, lighting, game structures, drives, walks , landscape structures, signage
and statuary may require approval by the ARB. Homeowners are advised to secure
such approval whenever a landscape change of any kind may be controversial or
objectionable. The ARB reserves the right to require removal of any landscape
element or signage for which written approval has not been granted.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (843) 815-8443 or email me at
[email protected]. I will be happy to assist you in anyway possible.

Congratulations To Our Staff!
Derek Lemire is Honored with the
Lifesaving Certificate of Merit Award
Derek Lemire, Exercise Physiologist
at the Spa & Fitness Center has been
providing initial and refresher courses in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to
the staff managers at Berkeley Hall for the past
several years. That medical knowledge turned
out to be a lifesaver back in March, 2011 when
Richard Frankoski & Derek Lemire
Richard Frankoski, a guest of a Member suffered
a massive heart attack on the tennis courts. We were proud to report at that time,
that Derek was called to the scene and administered CPR and delivered an AED
shock to the victim which saved his life. Mr. Frankoski has since fully recovered
from a quadruple heart bypass and back on the courts playing tennis.
In recognition of this achievement, Lifesaving Certificate of Merit Award was
presented to Derek at the Bluffton Town Council meeting on February 20th,
2012. This is the highest award given by the American Red Cross and signed by
the President of the United States.
In Case You Missed It
The Island Packet recently reported that The University
of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) has opened its
Center for Event Management and Hospitality Training
and its students have already started working on
local events and planning new ones. The Center was a
Julia Kalva-Hicks
collaboration project between USCB and the community
that aims at providing specialty training and education to workers and students
in the hospitality industry.
The Center officially opened in mid-January, and students have already
gotten out into the community, volunteering at events such as Hilton Head
Snow Day on Jan. 23. One such student was our own Julia Kalva-Hicks.
Julia has been working on obtaining her undergraduate degree from USCB for
almost seven years and this month she will finally walk across the stage and
receive her Bachelor’s Degree in hospitality management. With the degree in
hand and her work experience at Berkeley Hall, Julia hopes to keep advancing
her career in the hospitality industry. Congratulations Julia for a job well done!
Talk of the Town Interview
Berkeley Hall’s General Manager/COO visited the
studios of WHHI-TV to tape an interview for their
local television program Talk of the Town with host
Sandy Benson. Talk of the Town is a program that
focuses its attention on stories making the news across
Adrian Morris
the Lowcountry – from politics to education and sports.
Adrian was there to discuss our plans for hosting the Players Amateur Golf
Tournament, July 9th-15th, 2012.

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
The Cutting for Stone is a riveting saga of
twin brothers, Marion and Shiva Stone, born
of a tragic union between a beautiful Indian
nun and a brash British surgeon at a mission
hospital in Addis Ababa. Orphaned by their
mother’s death in childbirth and their father’s
disappearance, and bound together by a
preternatural connection and a shared fascination with
medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the
brink of revolution. But it’s love, not politics -- their passion
for the same woman -- that will tear them apart and force
Marion to flee his homeland and make his way to America,
finding refuge in his work at an underfunded, overcrowded
New York City hospital. When the past catches up to him,
wreaking havoc and destruction, Marion has to entrust his
life to the two men he has trusted least in the world: the
surgeon father who abandoned him and the brother who
betrayed him. Amazon.com

My Korean Deli; Risking It All for a
Convenience Store by Ben Ryder Howe
This warm and funny tale of an earnest
preppy editor finding himself trapped behind
the counter of a Brooklyn convenience store.
It starts with a gift, when Ben Ryder Howe’s
wife, the daughter of Korean immigrants,
decides to repay her parents’ self-sacrifice by
buying them a store. Howe, an editor at the rarefied Paris
Review, agrees to go along. Things soon become a lot more
complicated. My Korean Deli follows the store’s tumultuous life span, and along the way paints the portrait of an
extremely unlikely partnership between characters with
shoots across society, from the Brooklyn streets to Seoul to
Puritan New England. Owning the deli becomes a transformative experience for everyone involved as they struggle
to salvage the original gift—and the family—while sorting
out issues of values, work, and identity. Barnes&Noble.com

News from the Berkeley Hall Handicap Committee
The Berkeley Hall Handicap Committee is co-chaired by Diana George and Mike
McCarty and includes Matt Presnell and Bill Tyler. The committee’s first activities
have been to learn and understand the USGA Handicap System and determine how
best to fulfill its defined responsibilities. An early initiative is communication of
various aspects of the USGA Handicap System to help Berkeley Hall Members
understand how handicaps are computed and what their responsibilities are to that
process. Please see below for some important details regarding score posting and look
for continued communications from the Handicap Committee.
When to Post…When to Adjust
The USGA Handicap System states, “Fair handicapping depends on the full, accurate
information regarding a player’s potential scoring ability as reflected by a complete
scoring record. Every golfer is responsible for returning all acceptable scores…”
What constitutes an acceptable score? Most of the rounds we play result in
acceptable scores. Scores To Post:
•
•
•
•
If 13 or more holes are played, post an 18 hole score. More later on scoring unplayed holes.
If 7-12 holes are played, post a 9 hole score.
Scores from any Course with a USGA course / slope rating
Scores in both match and medal play
What Scores are unacceptable?
•
•
•
•
•
When less than 7 holes are played
Scores from an away course in its inactive season
When the round is not played by the rules of golf, such as occasional
practice rounds if multiple balls are played or rounds played in alternate
formats like Scramble or Captains Choice or where the number of clubs
to be used is limited below 14.
When the Course is less than 3000 yards for 18 holes or there is no
USGA course / slope rating
When non-confirming Clubs or equipment is used
How are unplayed or unfinished holes scored?
The USGA Handicap System requires that a score must be recorded for holes not
finished. Examples are holes conceded in a match or holes quit because they have
been lost. In such cases, the score recorded is the score most likely to have been made
if the hole were completed, and is equal to the number of strokes already taken plus
the number of strokes that, in the players’ best judgment, would have been required
to complete the hole more than half the time. The most likely score may not exceed
the players Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) limit. There is no limit on unfinished
holes in a round.
The USGA also requires a score for holes not played. Examples are when a hole is
closed for maintenance or the round ends due to weather or other reasons as long as
7 or more holes have been played. The score for a hole not played is equal to par plus
any handicap strokes awarded for that hole.

The Players Amateur
By Steve Wilmot, RBC Heritage Tournament Director
Welcome to the first Players Amateur column in the Berkeley Hall Experience. I’d like to start by saying thank you to Adrian
and his team for offering space in this beautiful publication. The staff of the Heritage Classic Foundation is very excited to
be working with everyone at Berkeley Hall. We have had several meetings with your staff and we couldn’t be any happier.
We feel like this is the start of a very strong partnership.
The Players Amateur is celebrating its thirteenth year this July 9-15. Over the years, the event has grown to be one of
the best amateur events in the country. We boast a very impressive list of past champions and participants including recent
Waste Management Phoenix Open Champion Kyle Stanley. Wow – that was an amazing finish after a heartbreaking previous week.
We hope many of you choose to be a part of this great event. We need sponsors to play in the contestant amateur tournament,
volunteers and housing sponsors. The young men that participate each year are incredible golfers and so enjoyable to get to
know. Please contact Bob Ring at (843) 815-8423 for more information on how you can get involved.
We are busy getting ready for the 44th-annual RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing. This year, we are back to our traditional
dates behind the Masters – April 9-15. We are happy to have Berkeley Hall join us as an Expo Sponsor. We hope to see you
there too!

MAINTENANCE
Pattern of Divots on the Practice Tee
By Danny Malone, Certified Golf Course Superintendent
The practice tee on any golf course receives a great deal of use, and our
Club is certainly no exception. Members of Berkeley Hall enjoy the use of
33-acres of land that’s dedicated for practicing and taking golf lessons from
a highly accomplished staff of professionals. The practice and learning
facilities that we are privileged to maintain are considered to be among the
best in the country and the true golf enthusiast understands their responsibility
of helping us maintain the quality of our golf facilities for others to enjoy.
One of the most important ways to help maintain the quality of our
practice tee is to create a proper divot pattern every time you are practicing
or simply warming up before a round. Unfortunately, there are many golfers
who are not aware of the importance of forming a divot pattern when they
practice, and take new divots with every swing in a very random and arbitrary
manner. Danny Malone explained, “not only does the practice tee look
unattractive, but it also destroys a large area of turf. Over time, the maintenance
work required to fill the divots in with sand, will actually change the contour
and texture of a once level playing surface. The practice area becomes more
sand based than soil based which change the consistency of the hitting
surface so that it no longer resembles the same playing conditions found on
our fairways.”
Picture #1 illustrates the wrong way to
take divots on a practice tee. The player
only took 20 divots yet tore up wide area
of the tee box. Our staff now has two
options to repair the area: 1.) fill each divot
individually, which takes a great deal of time,
or 2.) throw a shovel full of divot mix on the
area and use a smoother to fill them in quickly.
Since the divots are spread out over a larger area than necessary, much more
material is used to fill a relatively small number of divots.
Picture #2 shows quite a different approach
on the practice tee. Taking the same number of
swings (20), the divot pattern is taken down
a straight line, leaving a much smaller area
of turf grass to repair. The player has placed
each successive ball directly behind their
previous divot. By making a proper swing, the
next divot will remove only the small amount
of turf that lies directly under the golf ball. This type of divot pattern allows a
player to hit a large number of practice balls without causing much damage to
the practice tee.
If all of our Members and their guests followed this practice, we would
not need to move our hitting stations as often as we do. This would allow
sufficient time for grass to grow back in other areas and help preserve the quality of our tees. Having explained the importance of a tight divot pattern on
the practice tee, we hope to see patterns that start to emerge that resemble the
golfing enthusiast. Do you have a pattern?
Community Maintenance
Our winter or lack there of, has had an interesting
impact on the cyclical changes we would normally
observe with our trees and plantings. We’ve enjoyed spring
weather this winter, which has resulted in much warmer
soil temperatures. So warm that it has stimulated the
Red Maples to bloom in late January, Azaleas to bloom in
February and pollen to cover and coat our vehicles.
We’ve observed a long list of unusual occurrences that may
cause further changes to occur this summer. One thing that
is a particular concern is the potential for a larger than normal infestation of insects. A mild winter means bugs and
pests have survived the winter and will have a head start
on us this spring. To prepare for this, we have steppedup our preventative insecticide treatments, and have been
applying pre-emergent’s for weeds earlier than usual.
By the end of April we will
begin our annual spring
flower rotation. One of the
plants we are most excited
about is the new compact
Sunpatiens. The Sunpatiens
are similar in habit to a New
SunPatiens
Guinea Impatiens, but tolerate full sun and have a greater tolerance for our southern
temperatures. Compact Sunpatiens will grow to a height of
24 to 36 inches. Several other varieties that you will see are
Caliente Geraniums, Oyster Plant, Yellow Dwarf Hibiscus,
Dragon Wing Begonia, Blue Salvia, Las Vegas Gomphrena,
and Variegated Tapioca.
The widening of highway #278 this spring will result
in the destruction and reconstruction of the 3 large
flowerbeds underneath the stoplight in front of the Main
Gate. We are attending Bi-weekly project meetings with
the State but there is still no date for when this work is to
begin. Their contractor has advised us that we should
not refresh the three flowers beds this spring because of
the construction work that is planned at the entrance.
The good news is that the Department of Transportation has indicated that once the road work is complete,
the new island beds will be larger than what we have today.

Watch Out for Off-Center Hits!
By Andrew Rice, Director of Instruction
I often share with golfers the importance of how the laws of
physics cause the ball to respond to the club, and while this
information is helpful, it refers solely to centered hits. It is
seldom that I discuss off-center hits, and how the ball responds
to this all too frequent occurrence. Well, today’s the day!
When the ball is struck anywhere other than the
center of the face a phenomenon called gear effect
occurs. Ever heard of it? It causes the ball to draw
on toe oriented hits and fade on heel oriented hits.
I often see a golfer struggling to stop the ball from
fading, yet every shot is struck off center (picture).
The gear effect is elevated when you use clubs
with larger heads like as a driver. This is actually
the reason why the face of a driver is curved from
toe to heel and from top to bottom. When struck
off the toe for example, the curve on the face of a
driver actually gets the ball to launch to the right and then gear effect causes
the shot to curve back to the target. Gear effect plays a role in all shots where
the ball is not struck in the exact center of the face – which is the case in almost
all shots.
A good method to determine where you are striking the ball on the clubface is
to use a dry erase marker to cover a portion of the face. Hit a couple of shots
and notice where the strike occurs and then re-apply. Once you know what
your tendencies are, you can then begin to work on improving the quality of
your strikes on the ball. Please keep in mind that it is very difficult to influence
where the ball is being struck on the face by altering your distance from the ball.
For example, heel hits do not mean that you should move away from the ball
as this will more than likely cause you to reach out for the ball even more and
exacerbate the problem.
You can improve your strike by practicing the following drill:
• Place a ball on a tee and select your seven iron
• Address the clubhead to the ball and place a tee in the ground a
half-inch outside the toe and another inside the heel
• Now hit shots without hitting either tee
Practicing this drill on a regular basis will start to give you a feel for what the
body and arms need to do in order to make a quality strike in the center of the
clubface. Give it a try and if you need some help, please give Krista or myself
a call.

Full-Body Exercises
By Derek Lemire, Exercise Physiologist
Would you like to see your workouts
become more effective and more efficient?
If so, then full-body exercises should
be a staple in your training. A full-body
exercise is simply an exercise that works
multiple muscle groups throughout most
of the body. By doing full-body exercises,
such as the squat and press, as oppose
to single muscle group exercises, like the
tricep kickback, you will experience
several benefits. Although single muscle group exercises do have
their place, by doing full-body exercises you can expect the following
advantages:
More calories burned in less time – Because so many muscle
groups are contracting at one time your body requires a lot more
energy expenditure to complete the movement. Performing a circuit of
a few of these exercises is a great way to burn a lot of calories in a short
amount of time.
Elevated Heart-rate – As previously stated, full-body exercises require
an increase in energy expenditure, thus creating an elevated heart rate.
This will allow you to get both a strength and cardio benefit from one
session. This 2-in-1 workout goes back to your workouts becoming
more efficient.
Increased Metabolism – When we exercise, our bodies require
more energy and our metabolism increases in order to supply it. If our
exercises use more energy as discussed above, not only will we burn
more calories and become more cardiovascerally fit, but our metabolism
will increase even more.
Note: Ask our professionals at the fitness center about our
metabolic program if you want to get serious about loosing weight.
Become More functionally fit – Functionally fit means that you are
fit for the things you do either for fun, work, or everyday life. Most
every movement you do in life requires a lot more than just one muscle
group. Also, full-body exercises require you to engage your core in order
to stabilize the rest of your body. This will allow you to achieve a strong
foundation, and a strong foundation is the key to any kind of movement
no matter what the activity.
So, if you want to see your time at the fitness center become more
effective and efficient then throw some full-body exercises into your
program. If you would like to know more about these exercises, talk to
the trainers at the fitness center and they will be more than happy to
help.

The Okatie River
The salt marsh is characterized by salt
tolerant trees, sea grasses and other plants
that have adapted to the continual effect of
the ebb and flow of tides. Salt marshes exist
where ocean water flows between the mainland and outer sea or barrier islands. South
Carolina has more salt marsh than any other
state in the nation, and Beaufort County has
the greatest share of salt marsh in the state.
The tide is the heartbeat of a salt marsh.
Salt marshes and tidal creeks flood and
drain twice daily, with the rise and fall of
the tide. Influenced by the moon, the difference between high and low tide changes
on a daily basis. When the moon is full,
or new, we see a height differential of 10 or
more feet. Commonly called a spring tide,
it has nothing to do with the season. As the
moon moves through its cycle and we see a
half moon in the sky, the difference between
high and low averages about 5 feet. This is
called a neap tide.
The salt marsh is one of the most productive ecosystems in nature. The incoming
tide brings nutrient enriched water over the
marsh to nourish a multitude of animals,
large and small. In return, an enormous
amount of decaying vegetation and
decomposing animals (mostly microscopic)
are flushed out to sea.
Because of the abundance of food, the salt
marsh is an important nursery habitat for
a variety of fish and crustaceans, a feeding
and nesting site for waterfowl and shorebirds, and a habitat for many unique plants
and animals.
