Membership Committee
Horticultural Happenings
By Dan Dionisio, Chairman
By Adam Newhart
The month of June was kicked off with several bits of good news
coming from the Membership Committee. The big announcement
was the increase in the referral credit members will receive when
they pass candidate names along to our Membership Secretary,
Carolyn Kearns, and they then subsequently join the Club. The
referral fee was raised from $2,000 to $3,000 for all candidates
submitted before July, 31st and who join by September 30th. More
good news came as a result of the Tiki Bar event, which was a great
time for members and friends with another prospective member
deciding to join Manor in the midst of the fun.
During this month’s newsletter, I thought that I would touch on
some of the annuals that have been planted around the club. So far
the seasonal color has turned out spectacularly. It has been a nice
start to the summer with relatively low seasonal temperatures. The
flowers will only continue to grow once the real summer heat arrives as many of the varieties that are planted thrive in the hot summer conditions.
One of the Bloomaster planter
boxes located at the restaurant
deck. This plant is self cleaning,
which means you do not have to
manually dead head the spent flowers. The Wave Series of Petunias
are long lasting bloomers, until
frost in the fall and they are known
for their spreading growth habit.
When used in masses and different colors I think they look the best.
July will mark the first Open House we will be hosting this summer
and all members are encouraged to help keep the momentum of
new membership going by getting the word out to friends. Open
House events are a great opportunity to allow friends to come by
the Club in a low-pressure environment and to get to know us better. The Open House will be on July 9th at 11:30 a.m. and will be
held in conjunction with our monthly Brunch. Families are being
encouraged to come and we will be offering tours of the facility to
anyone interested in seeing it. As usual, newer members are being
asked to pay particular attention to these events as friends may be
looking to join a Club much in the same way they recently have.
The newer members present the best opportunity to the Club to
spread the word to possible candidates.
To the right of the Club entrance by
the gym you will find a grouping of
plants that has been referred to as
looking like mini Roses. These
plants are called Tuberous Begonias. There are a myriad of colors
within the Solenia Begonia series.
The two colors at the clubhouse are the Dusty Rose and Light Yellow. The beauty with this plant is not only the profusion of blooms
that is produces but the fact that the plant thrives in the sun or the
shade.
If you have anyone that you believe may be interested in getting to
know us better, please refer them to Carolyn Kearns. Also, we are
always looking for ideas or new events to make Manor an even
better place to enjoy. Please take a moment and pass along any
ideas you may have to either Carolyn or myself.
Golf Course News
To the right of number 10 tee box
there is a grouping of many different annuals. This picture depicts
white, red and blue Salvia. Behind
those are some Canna Lilies, Zinnias, and sun Coleus. By mid summer, this bed will really be well on
its way to becoming fully established and it will have much bigger
plants with more vibrant color.
By Randall S. Pinckney, Golf Course Manager
For the last month we have not received much rain. We are currently about 4-6 inches below normal rain-fall for our area. There
have been some locally heavy showers but they all seem to pass by
Manor. During the hot summer months as a golf course Superintendent I like to be able to control the water with irrigation. When it
is too hot a lot of water can be a bad thing because fungus can form
on the grass. Unfortunately, irrigation cannot compare with a good
rain shower and we really need one.
With the centerpiece of the
driving range being a Crape
Myrtle the annuals surrounding
it are sure to have a long lasting
summer impact. Immediately
surrounding the base of the
Crape is a ring of Dusty Miller.
The ring outside that is the
‘Red President’ variety of
Canna Lilies. They will have deep red blooms that will compliment the already red foliage of the plant. The annuals on the outer
edge of the bed include Pennisetum rubrum, a variety of grass that
produces red plumes of seed heads, Hypoestes a pink border plant
and the Painted Bloodleaf, which has shades of pink and red and
really makes a strong statement when grouped together.
When experiencing drought conditions the soils will actually form
an acid coat rendering the soil water repellent (hydrophobic) or
unable to soak up water. There is a product we can spray called a
wetting agent that will dissolve the acid coating to allow the water
to penetrate the ground. These wetting agents are very effective
because they can reduce our nightly watering by 20%. Also, we
water manage. Which means we hit only dry spots on greens tees
and sometimes rough and fairways with hoses or overhead irrigation, and not the entire area because not everything needs water.
Water is a very precious resource. I see a lot of home owner’s
waste water using their home lawn irrigation every night. Most
home owners who own automatic sprinklers will run them every
night or every other regardless of whether or not the grass needs it
or if it is raining. Hopefully we will get a few good rain showers
soon and that next month I won’t be talking about too much rain.
Have an enjoyable summer.

Professionally Speaking
Senior Golf Association
By Larry Velten
By Dick Hunt
Scholarship Opportunities for Girls
By now most parents that have a daughter have heard about the
tremendous opportunities for girls to play college golf. The
NCAA estimated that last year 250 girls golf scholarships went
unused. That sounds crazy and leaves you wondering why. The
simple reason is that there are not enough young girls playing
golf. With the implementation of Title 9, colleges are required to
have the same numbers of female athletes as male. This provides
a huge opportunity for female golfers. Throw in the fact that a
women’s college team can have up to 6 full scholarships for girls,
while only a maximum of 4.5 for boys. Usually these scholarships are split between all the members on the team, but you can
see it’s a lot easier to get close to a full scholarship as a female.
Carroll Valley Trip
Once again, the rolling hills of Carroll Valley welcomed 44 seniors to three days of challenging golf and camaraderie at its best.
From June 5th through the 7th we did our best to beat the rigors of
the 6400 yard test of our golfing prowess. Each day’s contest was
a two-man team, net-better ball. On Monday and Wednesday the
entire field of two-man teams contended and on Tuesday the field
was divided into two flights.
We were once again led by the careful and detailed planning of
C.J. Myers. As usual, C.J. had many helpers. Jim Wester handled prize money. John Ogilvie and Carl Ressa kept the score
cards straight. Dave Keefe provided professional score cards hot
from the press of his own computer program. Ed Boynton was
our photographer and I was responsible for the excellent weather.
Thanks to all.
With all this opportunity, what is realistic to be a female college
player? If a high school girl can shoot around 95 in tournament
conditions, college is a possibility. If she’s in the 80’s, there will
probably be some money available. Keep this in mind, if a female golfer has a scoring average under 80 in college, she is considered an excellent player. Remember, that is for Division I golf.
There is also Division II, III and the NAIA. So you can see, scoring for females in college is very different than males.
For the second year, the seniors were pleased to welcome Dick
Hunt’s brother-in-law, Earl Land who was visiting from Oldsmar,
Florida.
From the results below, note that 31 of the 44 players were in the
money at least once over the three days. This is a tribute to the
careful pairings arranged by C.J. Dennis Pirages was the leader at
the payoff trough with three dips. Congratulations to all the winners.
Knowing all this, how do you go about getting your daughter noticed? Most high schools girls are not going to be recruited. If
they are one of the better players in their area, college coaches
will know of them by reputation. Golf is not like football or basketball where coaches travel to see players play. In golf, you
have to go find the coach at the school you would like to attend.
Pick a few schools that your daughter would first like to attend
just for school and then contact the coach. Keep in mind the nongolf factors such as size, cost, reputation, etc. She should keep
track of all her high school and junior tournaments and put them
in a golf resume. Coaches want to see what kind of competition
she has played and on what type of courses. Grades are also as
important as the golf, so stress the academic achievements as
well. Email the coach during her freshman or sophomore year
and remember that the coach can’t actual recruit her until her junior year.
Monday Winners:
1. Rick Hoffman (B) and Bill Sackville
2. Dennis Barnes and Bill Gordon
3. Rick Hoffman and Tom Fletcher
4. Paul Junghans and Dan Steinberg
5. Dennis Pirages and Jim Matthews
6. Jim Conley and Bob Barnett
7. Bill Cave and Earl Land
B=Blind Draw
At this point, the best thing to do for your daughter is to keep her
playing. When girls turn 12 or 13 we lose a lot of players in all
sports, not just golf. If you can keep her playing through high
school then the college opportunities will take care of themselves.

Chartwell Country Club 5/16/06
Upcoming Events: Our next event is scheduled for July 13th
and it is a challenging stroke play tournament. The sign-up sheet
is posted in the men’s locker room.
Chartwell Country Club is a must stop for the Manor seniors.
For two reasons: One, it’s a great golf course and two they prepare the best lunch of all the tour stops. The course could not
have been better. Fairways were perfect, rough not too tall,
greens in perfect condition and traps perfect. What more could
you want. High handicap seniors hit from the forward tees, and
lower handicappers hit from the white tees. Not much difference
except on two holes where the distance might have been fifty
yards. Weather conditions? Perfect! Have we been lucky
weatherwise? You bet!
The annual Merrill Whittlesey senior member guest tournament
will be held on August 10th. It is our premier senior event of the
year. A flyer with details is in the mail and we hope to have a
full field of 120 players. Invite your guests and sign-up in the
pro shop early.

Leisure World 5/24/2006
Maybe it’s because we are only a driver and a three metal away
from Leisure World that we had our largest number of players
playing. Someone once called Leisure World, “Manor Club,
East” since many of Manor’s members have retired to Leisure
World. No more yards to be mowed, bushes clipped and pruned,
tall trees to be cut down, and most importantly, no more snow to
shovel. Sounds good to me!
Glenn Johnson, Dick Hunt, Earl Land, C.J. Myers,
Bill Gordon, Dennis Pirages, Doug Lord, Dan Steinberg
Anyway, it was a great day to see some of our former Manor
members and play a good game of golf with us then. Speaking of
whom, Bob Purcells teamed with C.J. Myers and Denny Barnes
and each won $32.00 first place money. Bob Diluchio played
with Carey Kerby and each won $20.00 fifth place. What happed
to Jack Larsen and Joe Cardaci? Good to see you guys!

Manor Women’s Golf –18 Holes
By Susan Gassler and Mary-Jo Ember

We’ve been asked to keep the articles for the newsletter a bit
shorter, so we’ll try to cut down on the extra chatter…here’s
what happened with the nine-holers during the past month, as
well as what is on the horizon for the upcoming months:
The MWGA’s Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show on May 24
was a rousing success—plenty of food, fun, and fashion. The

MCC’s own pro shop were great, and folks donated more than 40
beautiful gifts for the raffle. Thanks to all who planned it,
worked at it, donated to it, attended it, and especially those who
bought lots of raffle tickets at it!
Tournaments—
• June 6 was the Four Club tournament. Participants played
in twosomes, with a “best ball” format, and were only allowed to use four of their clubs for the entire round. The
winning twosome was Marie Ferguson and Shirley Fox, with
a net score of 26. Second place was taken by Jane Bell and
Susie Dyer (net 28); third place was claimed by Jacque Bare
and June Lilja (net 28). Congratulations to all!!

As mentioned in last months newsletter, the Board of Governors has initiated a strategic and capital planning process to
measure our membership’s satisfaction and help the Board determine what direction and what facility improvements the
Club’s membership would like to see in the future. The Board
is in the process of approving the Committee’s recommendations on how to best proceed with distributing a comprehensive
survey which will be delivered to the members this month - in
July.
Bethesda will be hosting MCC on July 13.
Woodmont has invited MCC to play on August 2.
MCC will be travelling to Westwood on August 9.
And finally, Springfield will host MCC on August 28.
Maryland-Virginia Nine-Hole Team Match Association
events—
The Manor Women’s A and B team players have several
matches scheduled for July and August:
• On July 20, the MCC’s B Team will be playing at Congressional.
• The A team will face Washington Golf on August 3.
• Manor’s A team will host an event for all of the MD/VA
teams at MCC on August 8, when they will play the back
nine of the big course.
• And finally, the B team will travel to International on August 16.
The Strategic and Capital Planning Committee wants to ensure
that every member is heard and has the opportunity to respond
to the survey. The Committee has recommended and the Board
has approved the distribution of the survey in both an online
and written format for those who ask. One of the main goals of
this Committee is to do everything we can to elicit the highest
response rates possible for this survey and to collect as much
feedback as we can from the membership. Once the survey is
formally distributed, we ask all of you to help get the word out
by mentioning the survey to all of your friends in the Club and
encourage them to respond via either the online or written
method. Written surveys will be made available at the front
desk or will be mailed out to each of you at your request by
calling the main number (301) 929 – 1700.
We’ve had some beautiful crystal-clear days out there, so come
on out to the Pitt and play!
Please be looking for our letter announcing the distribution of
the survey.

The Manor Swim Team is in the midst of a terrific season! Under
the direction of our coaches, Todd, Kassy, and Elyssa, the kids
are swimming well and having a blast! This year our Club was
chosen to host the "B" Division Relay Meet. On the evening of
July 6, teams from Army-Navy, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and
Edgemoor will be present to compete in this fun and exciting
meet.
Women’s Spring Interclub Season is Big Success
Manor’s Women’s Interclub teams had a very successful season
this spring! The Blue B and Blue C teams both came out third in
their respective divisions. In addition, the Yellow C team, with a
record of 6-1 came out on top of its division. In a challenge match
against the Chevy Chase Blue C team, Manor’s Yellow team won
4-1! As a result, Manor’s Yellow team moved up to the Blue C
division!
A second session of group swim lessons will begin on Monday,
July 10th. Information is available inside the pool on the bulletin
boards by the locker rooms. In addition, all three of our swim
coaches are available for individual private lessons. These lessons
are open to all Manor members, not just those swimmers registered for the team. Summer is the perfect time to learn to swim!!
As if that were not enough, Manor’s Blue A team, with a 6-1 record also won its division. In a playoff match against Aspen
Hill’s Red A team, Manor’s Blue team won 3-2! As a result,
Manor’s A team moved up to the Red A division which is the absolute top division in the interclub league. (i.e. teaching pros and
former college players are allowed to play in this division).
Feel free to come out to a meet and cheer us on! We appreciate
your support! Go Manor!
Congratulations to all the interclub teams for successful seasons!!
Special congratulations to the two teams that moved up in divisions. It took a lot of hard work and some good tennis! You made
Manor’s tennis program very proud! Good luck in your new divisions next season!

partner), and led her team to the league title!! In addition, she
qualified to play in her first international tournament held on the

has ever qualified for such an event before. We’re very proud of

Tuesday Morning and Evening Bridge
are so busy working in our gardens, we hardly see them. Sitting
quietly, or strolling around, undistracted by all the tasks we can't
do now, ideas begin to gel. It's June, and the trees are fully
leaved out and the days are long, the perfect time to appraise just
how much sunlight each area of the garden really gets. I recently
found a device I had been dreaming of for several years that actually calculates the accumulated light over twelve hours in any
single spot you place it. It's called the SunCalc, available from
the gardener's supply company, www.gardeners.com. The readout is reported as 'sun',' part-sun',' part-shade', or shade'. The
instrument can then be re-set and re-used over and over again in
as many different areas as you like. The fall catalogues are beginning to arrive, and they are enticing. A plant's light requirements, especially to bloom, not just survive, is one of the most
important characteristics to consider in choosing next fall's purchases. So many of us have to deal with dappled shade, constantly shifting and very difficult to quantitate. Perhaps this new
device will help. I hope to be mended and 'back out there' by
fall, planting away. Interested in re-vitalizing garden club? Contact me at [email protected] or (301) 871-7573.

it's an opportunity and the time available
