Springing into the year ahead
2012 is going to be a great year here at The Reserve. In fact, your Club Operations
Team and I are looking forward to making this our most successful year yet! Careful
planning is often the cornerstone of success. As always, the results of the annual
membership survey have played a big role in our business plan, and we have begun
implementing our 2012 strategy for success. Each department is bolstering operations
for the year ahead: hiring and training additional team members, retraining of some
of our existing team, keeping our food & beverage menus fresh and appealing with
frequent updates and daily specials, a full calendar of social events, new Market
merchandise and grocery items, exciting schedule of fitness classes and field trips,
operational improvements for the Pool Pavilion and Snack Bar, and a modified golf
course maintenance schedule—just a few of the changes we hope you will notice this
Spring/Summer!

Cindy Haulik, and her husband Tom moved from Atlanta with their
daughters Amy and Sara. Shortly after they bought their home in 2006,
Cindy started an annual Holiday Cookie Exchange program with The
Reserve’s “Ladies Lunch Bunch.” Each year, the ladies gather to share
their treats and recipes with each other. Each participant bakes an extra
dozen, and Cindy delivers the extra treats to the Helping Hands Children’s
Home in Clemson. As a mother of two girls and grandmother to two,
Cindy feels a connection to the children of Helping Hands and bakes for
them herself nearly every week. Over the past 6 Christmas seasons,
Reserve ladies have donated more than120 dozen cookies to the kids at
Helping Hands. Below is one of the Haulik family’s favorite recipes,
enjoy!

Introducing Village Point!
—available this spring!
This spring we will unveil a new collection of homes in the Village, right
along the Marina Park! This prime spot offers lake views, private boat
slips, and all the conveniences of the marina, just steps away from your
home. Great architecture, immediate access to the Village and all the
club amenities in your back yard should make Village Point one of our
most popular neighborhoods.

It's a great time to build at the Lake!
Do you know how many homes there are in The Reserve? Since 2003, when
our very first residents moved in, more than 200 homes have popped up
around our community. We are seeing a new, consistent surge of activity in
The Reserve; home building is back! According to the Community Association's
latest count, we have more than 20 new homes currently under construction—
the same number that we saw in total homes completed in 2011. With the
wide array of activities and events offered at The Reserve, it is easy to see why
our members are ready to "be at the lake."
There are a few new faces (that you may recognize!)
in our office...
Welcome back, Denny Bolt, John Barrett, and Brad Ricker! Although they are
new to our team of real estate experts, these three gentlemen are certainly not
strangers to Lake Keowee and The Reserve. Each has been a member of our
team in the past, and we are happy to welcome them back to the lake.

The Reserve is easier than ever…

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE WATER
Marina Community: Fun Knows No Season!
In 1999, when a group of families came together on the land that would
become The Reserve at Lake Keowee, they were struck by not only the
beautiful landscape but also, and likely more so, by the stunning
lakescape. As virtually all residents, Members, and staff of The Reserve
will agree, the pure and serene azure waters of Lake Keowee make all the
difference and give The Reserve much of its identity.
For RLK members Cindy and Erv Burbach, the marina functions as their
own personal dock. “We bought our lot with a swim dock, not suitable for
boats, because of the view it offered. So, knowing that we had a full-service
marina was a big plus for us. We keep our boat in a slip at the marina and
find it very convenient.”
It is no coincidence that The Reserve’s community master plan centers all
of our primary amenities in a village by the water. And it is only fitting
that the founders and developers planned and built a full-service, 200-slip
private marina—complete with a Commodore, staff, and a scenic halfmile boardwalk skimming the shoreline—so that the Members could
enjoy Lake Keowee to its fullest. Indeed, the marina, where the lake meets
“We tell our friends: Picture a beautiful Canadian lake and
then add perfect weather year round, and you have Lake
Keowee. The change of seasons is wonderful. The access to
the lake year round is great.”
“We looked at lake communities across
the Southeast, but in the end, chose
The Reserve because of this lake.”
— Betsy and Doug Barker, Reserve Members since 2008
the land, is the gateway into the heart of the community, not only in the
literal sense but also through the lens of The Reserve’s quintessential lake
lifestyle.
A Gateway to Fun, for Everyone
What distinguishes the marina at The Reserve is that it is connected to a
community of more than 650 vibrant, engaged families, their extended
families, and circles of friends. It brings families together and is a tie that
binds grandfathers to grandsons, mothers to daughters, teenagers to their
parents, and neighbors to one another. Sibling rivalry becomes sibling
revelry, and “time outs” turn into “time ins.” The noise of everyday life is
a joyous one, of laughter, splashes, and long talks on the docks.
“Lake Keowee attracts a wide range of people to The Reserve.
My family grew up fishing and shrimping on the Bayou, so they
love to come to The Reserve because they can fish. Erv can
host an executive from Exxon-Mobil, or I can host my brother-in-law, who’s a musician in Louisiana, and they both will
feel comfortable and at home here. That’s why we built here.”
— Cindy Burbach
Doug Barker got the nickname “Captain Doug” in The Reserve community when he started a Sunset Moonlight Cruise three years ago. As many as
14 boats and 57 people have attended this monthly party, going out half
an hour before sunset, tying their boats together in Lake Keowee, and
celebrating the rise of the full moon.
“We also coordinate Float Nights with our neighbors, the Andrews, across
“Captain’s Cove.” Eight or ten boats with as many as 35 people have come
out, tied up to our dock or anchored nearby, and enjoyed an evening swim
with music, drinks and hors d’oeuvres,” Barker says.
Unlike many places, The Reserve’s marina is available and accessible
to every Member and property owner, allowing everyone to enjoy the
lakeside experiences that so often become treasured memories and
family traditions.
— Cindy and Erv Burbach, RLK Members since 2007
The Burbachs, who have two adult daughters, spend many of their visits
on the lake, playing volleyball at the beach near one of Lake Keowee’s
waterfalls, or going to the Jumping Off Rocks. And on large occasions like
the Fourth of July, Cindy describes the marina as a “home base” of sorts:
“We have had 15 house guests before, so we can drop people at the pool
while we take others wakeboarding and skiing. I can drop my husband
and his friends off to play golf at the club, and the ladies stay out on the
lake and relax. It’s a win/win for everyone!”
High or Low, ‘Tis Always the Season on Lake Keowee
While most lakes are enjoyable only a portion of the year, Lake Keowee
knows no such restrictions. Thanks to the moderate climate and four mild,
yet distinct, seasons, being out on the lake happens as easily in January and
it does in June.
“What is huge for us is the amount of time you can enjoy Lake Keowee.
It’s not uncommon for us to be wakeboarding over the Thanksgiving Day
weekend,” attest the Burbachs.
Each December, Reserve residents take to the water for an annual Holiday
Boat Caroling event, singing from dock to dock. Warm weekends grace the
winter months and enliven the water with boaters who day-dock to grab
lunch at The Market, play a round of golf, or simply check the mail at the
Village Post Office.
“We had long-time friends who were building at The Reserve.
We came down to visit them as we looked for a mountain house
in Asheville. That night, we all shared a bottle of wine out on
their dock. Then and there, we said, ‘Why are we looking in the
mountains?’ We really enjoy the people at The Reserve. They
were the reason we bought, besides the lake being great.
“Our older daughter graduated from Clemson University, and this
Christmas, we received cards from several of her college friends, saying
they are happy to come ‘boat sit’ at any time,” the Burbachs chuckle.
“That’s how much they’ve enjoyed their times on the lake at The Reserve.”
The only thing better than the Marina Park at The Reserve at Lake Keowee
is what keeps the lake beautiful and the community fun, warm, and inviting: the people themselves. This story is the first in a series that will continue
throughout 2012 highlighting the Marina.

Looking forward to another great
year of golf at The Reserve!
The golf shop staff would like to wish everyone and their families
a year of good health, prosperity and, of course, great golf at The
Reserve in 2012! It was kind of “Old Man Winter” to give us so
many mid-60 degree days in December and even into January!
(For the record, our Doug Barker “long pants count” ended in the
single digits this year; a great weather year for you, Doug!)
Throughout 2011, your Reserve at Lake Keowee Golf Committee
and Handicap Committee both worked very hard in hopes of
making everyone’s tournament experiences the best. On behalf of
the entire Reserve golfing core, a special thank you goes to Mrs.
Kimberly Martin, Mr. Harry Ahlfeldt and Mr. Dick Bishop as their
two-year terms on the Golf Committee come to an end. We thank
each of you for donating your time, your commitment, and your
understanding as you helped with the many improvements made
over the past two years. In 2012, we now welcome our new Golf
Committee members: Mrs. Kathleen Carney, Mr. Mike Kennedy
and Mr. Doug Barker! We have confidence in their ability to bring
wonderful and new ideas to the committee.

Great playing—congratulations to you all!
As in every year, the golf shop will continue to encourage more
tournament participation from our Primary Members, and urge them
to encourage their Legacy Members to join in our competitions!
Our Quest to Be the Best!
Like many of you with New Year’s resolutions or goals, we in the golf
shop have a couple of our own. We would like to make our primary goal
this year to provide both the best service and the best communication
possible. We have already begun work on meeting our first goal of better
service in the following ways:
• At Your Service!
To provide faster service at the beginning and end of your round, our
staff outside will be no fewer than three to four people to take care of
bag retrieval, the driving range, club washing, and to meet you and
greet you in parking lot. One person will be dedicated to helping at the
range and one will be dedicated to the bag drop area.
• More Golf Carts!
To provide better service throughout your round, we have
acquired a new, larger golf cart fleet of 2012 Precedent Club Cars.
• Gary at The Turn!
To provide better service at the turn, we have hired newcomer Garry
Huffman at the Halfway House, who will provide hot food quickly from
his new and ever-changing menu.
• Fine-Tune Those Clubs!
And, finally, if your golf experience is compromised because of your
clubs, we may be able to help! The Golf Shop now has a Loft and Lie
machine to adjust or fit clubs so you can get the most out of them.
To help us reach the second goal, we will provide information you can
access using your computer, your feet, or your phone! We will post
upcoming events in the weekly Reserve Happenings emails, and on The
Reserve website on both the calendar page and the golf page. Select
news can be found in the Reflections newsletter on the Reserve website.
We will also keep you informed of events when you visit the golf shop
with our announcement loop on the TV, sign-up sheets, and the information bulletin board. In addition, your cell phone can be a pipeline of communication if you sign up for our text broadcast while in the golf shop.
Finally, urgent messages about changes in events or schedules will be
communicated to you via text, email, and/or phone call. To start the new
year off right, we have already posted updated 2012 tournament schedule, golf fees and dress code on our golf page in the Members’ section of
the website.

Short-term disruptions
provide long-term health
in the Life of our Turf
864-868-3062 | [email protected]
Our team is excited to welcome the warmer temperatures and “spring
green” of new growth on the golf course. It will certainly be another great
year of golf at The Reserve! We have planned fewer days of disruption for
maintenance, which allows you more days of enjoyment on your course.
We continually strive to provide the best possible conditions for your game,
each and every round, but sometimes needed cultural practices will affect
playing conditions. Although this is sometimes inconvenient, all of our
maintenance practices are based on providing for long term and short term
needs for maximum turf health. Compacting our routine maintenance
schedule this year will allow for less interruption of your game, while still
providing for our course’s needs. We are accomplishing this by increasing
the size of tines during aerifications, which eliminates two aerification dates
during the summer. Also, we have moved the fairway aerification to the
summer to speed up recovery.
Please make note of the following dates so that you may plan your golf
around these cultural practices.
April 23–24: Golf course closed on Monday 23 – Aerify greens
with 5/8” tine, 2”x 2” spacing with sand topdressing
July 16–20: Golf course closed Monday – Friday – Aerify Greens
with ¼” tine, Tees, Fairways, Collars and Verticut
Fairways
October 22–23: Golf course closed Monday 22 – Aerify greens with
½” tine, 2” x 2” spacing with sand topdressing
If you have any questions on this or anything else related to The Reserve,
please give me a call. See you on the course!

We began the year watching for loons and other flying friends during a
guided "Loon Tour" on Lake Jocassee. Each year, these beautiful birds
come down from the glacial
lakes to spend the winter
months with us. With the loons,
come flocks of white seagulls
and a few bald eagles; watching these birds soar above the
waters of Jocassee made our
tour very memorable!

World War II ended, and existed until his death in the 1960s. In the era
of segregation, many famous black musicians on the “Chitlin” Circuit
(The Blues Road to New York) played at Littlejohn’s Grille. Some of those
appearing at the Grill include: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Ruth
Brown,
T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Otis Redding, Etta James, Mary Wells,
Moms Mabley, James Brown and scores of others! Join us as we step
back in history and learn about life at the
Littlejohn Grille!

LIVE AT THE RESERVE:
Legendary Blues Guitarist Mac
Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues
Mac Arnold must have known at an early age
that his music career would read like a “Who’s
Who” of Blues/R&B Legends. His high school
band, J Floyd & The Shamrocks, were often
joined by none other than Macon, Georgia
native, James Brown on piano. After deciding to pursue a professional
music career, he joined the Charles Miller group until 1965 when he made
the move to Chicago to work with recording artist/saxophonist A.C. Reed.
In late 1966, at age 24, came the opportunity of a lifetime to join the
Muddy Waters Band and help shape the electric blues sound that inspired
the rock and roll movement of the late 60's and early 70's. Regular guests
of the band included Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, and
Elvin Bishop. The Muddy Waters Band shared the stage with the likes of
Howlin’ Wolfe, Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams,
and Big Mama Thornton—just to name a few!
Photo by EG:IMAGE Photography
After more than a year with Muddy Waters, Mac formed the Soul Invaders
which backed up many artists, including The Temptations and B. B. King. In
the early 70’s, he moved to Los Angeles to work at ABC Television and
LAFF RECORDS (Redd Foxx). This led to working on the set of Soul Train
from 1971 to 1975 and then working with Bill Withers (“Lean On Me”)
before moving back to South Carolina in the 80's.
Mac now resides in Pelzer, SC, where at the age of ten he got his first taste
of the blues when he learned to play his brother Leroy’s home-made guitar.
Going back to his roots, Mac is currently serving up "a mess of blues" with
his own band, Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues. The band consists of
Danny Keylon on bass and vocals, Austin Brashier on guitar and vocals,
Max Hightower on keyboards, harmonica, guitar, and vocals, Mike Whitt
on drums, and Mac Arnold on vocals, bass and gas can guitars.

We are excited to be here!
On behalf of Karin Thacker, our Community Association Property
Administrator, and myself I want to take this opportunity to say thank you
for all of you at The Reserve who have made us feel so welcome.
20 New Homes were completed in 2011 and there are currently 22 new
homes under construction and in the Architectural Review Process. We are
looking forward to another exciting year of activity on Lake Keowee!
The beginning of 2012 brings a renewed emphasis on continued quality
service to you, our members. We have reviewed your responses to the
recent Membership Survey and appreciate your thoughts.
As I said at The Reserve's annual POA meeting, “We heard you!” and we
will focus on trail maintenance as one of our areas of improvement. In fact,
we have just completed the repair of damaged asphalt and pre-season
trail maintenance. I encourage you to contact Karin and me throughout the
year with any ARC questions or items that need our attention — we look
forward to serving you!
