FROM THE DESK OF THE G.M.
BY ALLEN SELF,
GENERAL MANAGER
Greetings Carrollwood Members,
As we fast approach our summer season and what is normally a slower time
at Carrollwood Country Club I would like to take the opportunity to thank
everyone for making this winter season one of our best ever. Our activity
throughout the club has been fantastic! As you will see in our Director of Golf,
Daren Johnsons’ article, our golf round activity has increased greatly over the
same time last year. All of our Social events have continued to see large increases
in attendance over past years and our Membership continues to grow at a very
nice pace. Our Easter Brunch and Egg Hunt resulted in 600 members attending
which was an increase of almost 100 members over last year. This activity is
exciting for me as your General Manager and all of the country club staff as
it lets us know that you are happy with what we are offering and how we are
conducting our events at the country club.
The purchase of the new mats on the practice tee has been a nice solution for
the overused and grassless tee area that was created as a result of all the winter
activity. The practice tee has now healed in nicely and with a periodic rotation
between the grass tee and the practice mats we should be able to maintain a
much nicer tee area year round. In recent weeks we have purchased a new gas
grill for the Oasis Grille at the Rec Center and a new Golf Range Picker to
improve our ability to clean the practice range quicker throughout the day and
at the end of each day. In addition to these improvements we have been working
on improving our on course restrooms with a much needed facelift. All of the
air conditioners have been replaced or repaired to good working condition, the
water fountains are in good working order and damaged areas on the interior
walls have been repaired and repainted.
I have recently received a few comments about members playing the golf course
and not seeing a beverage cart for long periods of time during their round. In
an attempt to improve our consistency in service to our membership the Turn
Grille will open at 7:00 a.m. and will remain open until 6:00 p.m. Tuesday
through Sunday to offer food and beverage during the upcoming hot summer
days. We will continue to have a beverage cart during certain days of the week
but during the times the beverage cart is unavailable, or in addition to the
beverage cart, the Turn Grille will be there to satisfy your needs. Please make
sure you visit the Turn Grille before your round, or when making the turn and
stock up on whatever you need to enjoy your round during the summer heat.
We have coolers available at the Turn Grill to allow you to take a larger quantity
of product on the golf course if needed.
We will continue to listen to your requests and work hard at maintaining
Carrollwood as one of the top private country clubs in the Tampa area. Again
thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you at the country club.

TODD BROWNE, FOOD & BEVERAGE DIRECTOR
It’s been non stop hopping around here.
Easter was a great success. We had over
600 members; families and friends, this
year and I cannot thank you all enough for
your support. If you missed it, we had 2 egg
hunts with over 6000 eggs for the little ones.
A real live Easter Bunny walking around
dancing and taking pictures with the kids.
A bounce house, a slide, a petting zoo, face
painter and so much more. Chef Jake and
Chef Brian’s team did an amazing job with
the food and the Clubhouse was transformed
into a blooming spring feel which, as always,
was done by our amazing Stephanie. We are
gearing up for Men’s Member Guest the first
weekend in May and then it’s all about the
Moms. Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May
10th and this is truly the place you will want
to be to show your Mom just how much you
love and thank her.
I hope you all got a chance to visit Jail on April
15th. We did a fun Monopoly Traditions
Dinner Dance. “Jail” had Fried Bologna and
Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream. Each
property was themed with different food
from Kentucky Avenue (bourbon pork chops
and biscuits) to Boardwalk (Funnel Cake and
Coney Island Hotdogs). We will be hosting
our next Traditions Dinner Dance on May

BY DAREN JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF GOLF
Members of Carrollwood Country Club,
Carrollwood was pumping this season! We had a very pleasant
winter with several nice days and very little rain that impacted golf.
Overall, golf is up 1900 rounds in the first quarter vs. 2014. Our
largest growth of rounds came from “Member Rounds” and “Guest
of Member Rounds.” This is a fantastic trend and I am very happy to
see our members utilizing the club and bringing friends and family
out to experience all that Carrollwood Country Club has to offer.
We have recently concluded several of our “Major’s” and would like
to congratulate the following Golf Members on their victories.
The WGA Member Guest winners are:
Score 118: Tamara Brown / Julie Buckley / Shirley Brown /
Nancy Murphy
The Men’s Match Play Championship:
Champion - Ken Renspie Runner up - Dale Rodekuhr
Men’s Member Guest:
Overall winner - Brian McNenney & Jamie Karow
As we approach the summer months we will once again have a very
active schedule with golf course aerification. Chuck (Director of
Grounds) and myself have planned the course aerification around
the 3 big summer holidays –Memorial Weekend, 4th of July and
Labor Day Weekend. All three 9’s will be open over these weekends.

Carrollwood Country Club will be hosting a few events this summer that I am very excited about. Our club is a qualifying site for the US
Open. We are one of sixteen clubs in the state to host local qualifying for the US Open. The qualifier is Wednesday, May 20th and the
qualifiers will play Pine/Cypress. Due to this event these two nines will be closed until early afternoon. Members will have access to play
Meadow this morning. Carrollwood is also hosting an Amateur Junior Match Play July 20th-July 23rd. This event will be competed on
Cypress/Meadow. Members will have access to play Pine during this competition. Lastly, Carrollwood is a qualifying site for the Florida MidAmateur. This event is being played Wednesday, September 16th on Meadow/Pine. Our facility is one of seven qualifying sites in the state.
Members will have access to play Cypress this morning. As mentioned, I am very excited about these events because a
lot of hard work has been put in by all the team members at Carrollwood and for Carrollwood Country Club to be
recognized and selected as a host site for these events is an honor.
With summer upon we will have a few junior golf camps during the summer. Shawn (Director of
Instruction) will have 3 golf camps for juniors that are more experienced golfers. With his camp juniors
will spend more time on course playing and learning more course management. Dylan and Jeff (Assistant
Golf Professionals) will also have 2 golf camps that will be for those juniors that are either beginners or have only
played a few times. For more information please call the golf shop (813) 961-1369.

“Golf… If I hit it right, it’s a slice. If I hit it left, it’s a hook.
If I hit it straight it’s a miracle.” - Author Unknown
From the Golf Course Superintendent
As we quickly approach the offseason at Carrollwood Country Club
I would like to address the upcoming maintenance practices that we
have scheduled for the golf course.
Our courses have Champion Dwarf Bermudagrass greens. This
turf requires intensive cultural management to perform its best.
Champion turf gives us the capability of producing excellent putting
services under the right conditions. However, in order to provide you
with excellent putting surfaces we must perform an array of cultural
programs including verticutting, topdressing, precise nutrient
management, soil chemistry management, moisture management.
One of the most important practices that we perform is Aerification.
Aerification of our greens provides many benefits.
* Creation of voids in the turf where new plants can grow providing
enhanced vigor and combating grain
* Creation of sand filled channels which restore infiltration in the
root zone.
* Removal and dilution of thatch and organic material.
* Introduction of oxygen into the root zone thus releasing CO2
from the root zone.
* Alleviates soil compaction.
Our Aerification schedule is based on the recommendations for
Aerification which come directly from the breeders of Champion Turf.
I realize that our greens are one of the most important assets we have on
the golf course. If I fail to take proper care of our greens I am allowing
an important asset to lose value.
If I did not perform the proper maintenance practices for this Turf we
would not notice the effects immediately but long-term damage would
be done. This is similar to not changing the oil in your car at the proper
time; the car does not drive any differently yet the lifespan of your car
would be diminished. By selecting the Champion cultivar we have
selected a grass that should give us pure greens that will perform well
indefinitely but only if we take care of them properly.
If you would like to discuss this procedure or about any other agronomic
practices that we perform my office door is always open. See you on the
course.

Two Secrets To Tennis Success
When I arrived at Carrollwood Country Club in 2000, we had a court
attendant/racket stringer named Gary Needleman. Gary went from being
a complete beginner tennis player to a 4.5 player in two short years. He
would go on to be the assistant pro and later the tennis director here at
Carrollwood for many years. This kind of improvement is rarely seen and
deserves a closer look.
Gary would play with the Carrollwood men’s afternoon group where
the average age of player was 70! He played with women, children,
men -- everyone -- no matter the age or level. Doing so allowed him
many hours on the court as well as plenty of time with less skilled
players which encouraged him to work on his weaknesses while
competing. If he had played only players his level or higher, he might
have fallen into the common trap of just playing for the moment and
neglecting areas of his game that needed improvement.
When asked how he became a 4.5 player in just two years, Gary answers:
“1. I played with anyone and everyone who asked me to play (regardless
of their level) and 2. I did whatever my coach told me to do -- (even if I
didn’t like it).” These two things are very simple, yet seldom done. In fact,
most players do just the opposite: they demand to play with players at
their level or better and avoid situations that make them uncomfortable.
The type of instruction he accepted was not popular with most players
as it demanded slow, repetitive motions. Because Gary had played
other sports at a very high level, he understood the need for this type
of training and welcomed it. Find improvement in your tennis game
this summer by copying Gary: play with players above and below
your level while working on your weaknesses.
League Tennis News & Other Happenings

Reports on our leagues: Our 3.0 USTA ladies league, played on Mondays finished their 18 & over

Our Tuesday Suncoast team, consisting of 14 doubles teams, has now finished their season, and
ended up in the lower half of the standings this season. We are looking forward to our summer

beginning of each month. Sign up at the
Tennis and Aquatics Center front desk.
MONDAYS
9:00 to 10:30 AM:
Advanced Doubles Clinic
with Gyorgyi
4:00 to 4:30 P.M.: Tennis Sprouts
for ages 3, 4 and 5
Wednesday, we have two leagues - our ALOT league, in our second year at Carrollwood is
continuing to improve and is in the mid-level range of the standings. Our Interbay League will
have completed their season by the time you read this, and most likely will finish in 4th place...very
good job considering there are 15 teams that we compete against every season!
4:30 to 7:30 PM:
Junior Tennis Program
Our first year 3.5 Nightime ladies league (more commonly known as the C5 - Carrollwood Country
Club Crazy Chicks) are playing some good competitive tennis....against some good competitive
clubs! They have 16 members who have turned Thursday nights into “Ladies Night under the
Tennis Court Lights”.....Can’t wait to see how good this team will be over time!
4:00 to 4:30 P.M.: Tennis Sprouts
for ages 3, 4 and 5
Our 4.0 Friday morning Ladies League 40 & over has just gotten started, but we have some
veterans and “newbies” that will make this team fun and competitive.
Attention CCC Men’s tennis players - the 4.0 Men’s 18 & over season finished in mid-March, and
the 4.0 40 & over season started shortly after that. They have been well represented in the recent
USTA Men’s League, and have a small but committed group of guys that play every Saturday
morning, representing CCC. They are always looking for new 4.0 level players for the team, so if
interested for next season, please contact Chris Cary, Tennis Director.
Our Captains do such a tremendous job, and wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK
YOU! Our 3.0 USTA captain, Sharon Saleh, our Tuesday Suncoast Captains this year Mary Klein,
Beverly Glantz, Holly Charles & Nicole Callen. I also had the pleasure of captaining this wonderful
league; Lorraine Strorbridge captained our ALOT league this year, Terry Rizzo is in charge of our
4.0 ladies USTA (& assisting on our Interbay team), and Carol Cotney, captain of the Interbay
team who is “retiring” this year.
Thanks for all your hard work
these past few years Carol.
I end this article with this thought
.... “We are coming to understand
that no organization or league
will fully succeed without the
active participation of each of
us”. CCC is so lucky to have so
many committed tennis players!
