We - Midvale Country Club

AUTUMN 2015
President’s Message
Dear Members,
As I realize that I am in my final six months as your Club President, it is
amazing to think just how fast time goes by. As a gesture of thanks to the
Board of Governors and Past Presidents for all of their hard work and extra
effort, the club annually hosts a day of golf called the Board of Governors
Day. On this day, the current Board of Governors pair up with Past Presidents of the club to share in a day of camaraderie. It is not too difficult to
summarize why Midvale Country Club has been and continues to be the
leader within our marketplace. Midvale Country Club is extremely fortunate to have had such talented presidents in our past: Phil Garver,
Chuck Lazio, Joe DePaolis, Bill Yantz, Dan Camelio, Sergio Esteban, Bill Adams, Fred Cyprys, Steve Holmes, and Glenn Pezzulo. I
have had the luxury of having the great momentum from these individuals, enabling Midvale’s continued SUCCESS. This year’s BOG Day was a bit
saddened as we had learned that one of our Past Presidents fell ill and was
battling for his life. The entire room took a moment of silence and thanks
for this Past President, as it was evident that the end was near. I can only
hope that heaven has a Board of Governors to assist them, as Mel
Gumbiner will certainly make a great future candidate.
In July, our fiscal 2014 financial audit was completed, and on July 19th,
Bonadio & Co. shared these results in our Annual Financial Membership
Meeting. It was evident that the recent spike in the minimum wage affected a large majority of our seasonal staff as labor costs were elevated
from the prior year levels. Tight controls were placed and managed
throughout every department, minimizing exposure to a deficit. While
these strategies were in place, we did still yield a deficit, due to the shortfall
in member’s dues.
The solution to this shortfall is the growth of our membership! We
need you, as our ambassadors to the club, promoting all of the good the
club has to offer. Where else could you go and get fabulous course
conditions, delicious lunch and dinner service, plus enjoy seasonal
amenities like swimming, tennis, platform tennis, and an endless variety of
social activities? We appreciate your decision to make Midvale Country
Club your choice, but now need you to go out and promote the club to
others. I have been told by management that with just twenty more
members, we would operate annually in the black. I challenge each
member to try to promote the club to just three potential members. This
would create over one thousand leads, which if just two percent joined,
would bring us to our goal!
I am optimistic, as we have had fifteen membership inquiries and
have welcomed seven new members since September 1st. Please note that
the Membership Committee is offering special Fall Joining Incentive
whereas new members enjoy added benefits at our Social/Pool/Tennis rate
structure. I am counting on you to keep this momentum charging ahead.
It is an honor to recognize this year’s Club Champions as they proudly
represent the club through Labor Day 2016! Men’s Club Champion: Paul
Parrone, Women’s Club Champion: Jane Duke, Couples Club Champions: Michelle & Craig Neal, Senior Club Champion: Todd Metcalfe,
Super Senior Club Champion: Jim Barletta, plus our Junior Club
Champions: Seamus Hogan, Christian Bosco & Matthew Carpentier. Join me as I congratulate all of our Club Champions.
Thank you for making Midvale Country Club the best club in the
district, hands down.
Warm Regards,
Mike Alesi

A Message from Your
General Manager
e just witnessed what seemed to be the fastest ninety-three days
of the year. SUMMER arrived and passed in what felt like the blink
of an eye. No need to be sad as AUTUMN started out warmer than expected and Midvale CC is going to continue to keep your family busy for
the remainder of the year!
Midvale Country Club, like so many other clubs, has seen their
membership lifestyles get busier and busier. What used to be busy “at
times,” is now busy “all of the time.” While most of the country clubs
have reported decreases in membership usage, our family-friendly
atmosphere has enabled us to maintain our membership participation
levels. We continue to offer a wide variety of events at many different
times in order to cater to your busy lifestyles. We understand that fitting
in a dinner at the club when your family has to finish their homework,
go to a two hour sports practice, and/or wait for mom or dad to get
home from work, can be quite the challenge. If this scenario sounds like
your home, then we have just the answer.
Midvale Country Club is creating additional services which will allow
you to enjoy your club at your convenience. Our new Thursday Family
Night themed dinner service is just one example, and is designed to
allow your family to enjoy dinner at your club in a timely manner. Each
Thursday, Chef Hayes will feature a different themed cuisine with service
beginning as early as 5:00 p.m. for your convenience. Be sure to review
the enclosed advertisement as you will find everything from pasta, tacos
and much more. All value-priced for our members, of course.
In addition, country clubs are realizing that families are looking for
more casual dining options. Whether after a soccer practice or dance rehearsal, we understand that members want to be able to relax and enjoy
their club in a casual environment. Our recent denim survey is just the
first step in collecting your thoughts as the casual trend appears to be
leading the lifestyle change. You can be assured that Midvale Country
Club is still planning on hosting formal events as they also have become
W
woven into our culture.
So how is your club doing? The answer is actually better than you
might have guessed. For four years following the 2008 economic downturn, our club membership transitioned more heavily into our
Social/Pool/Tennis classifications. The swing of members relocating their
memberships into this classification was felt as membership dues revenues showed small declines. This, of course, was at the same time that
state labor rates were being increased and commodity prices spiked.
Tighter controls were placed on all operations, yet operations still
yielded a small deficit at year-end.
The good news: Since the summer of 2014, golf memberships are
steadily growing and existing members are now upgrading their memberships into golf classifications rather than the opposite. While we still
have a ways to go, membership momentum is headed in the right direction. The club continues to operate on a conservative basis, as tight controls remain in place for the short-term.
Our long-term outlook is the best it has ever been. In less than a
decade, the club will have eliminated all of the long-term debt, improving
the club’s financial footprint by nearly a quarter of a million dollars annually. This will definitely eliminate any future small deficits as well as position the club favorably for any future projects the membership may want
at that time. Never in the club’s eighty-six-year history have we been in
such a strong long-term financial position. Congratulations and thank
you for remaining loyal to your Midvale Country Club family.
In closing, I am grateful and thankful for the opportunity to be a part
of your successes. Many members have asked me why it appears as
though I am always at the club. My answer is simple, I completely enjoy
my job and the membership I work for. My passion and commitment
toward excellence will never let up, as my goal is to exceed every
member’s expectation, as lofty as that may be. The true challenge is to
motivate all one hundred and fifty co-workers to do the same.
Sincerely,
Rich Marr, General Manager

important aspect, decorating of your gingerbread house. Midvale’s chefs will be by your side to ensure the frosting foundation is secure for all of your decorating candies to hold!
In closing, I encourage your family to frequent your club
during the holidays as you will not be disappointed. I wish all a
Happy Chanukah and/or Merry Christmas.

Golf News
Golf Course Corner
he grass is not always greener on the other side as we learned this
year. Comparing conditions within the district was a pleasure as
Midvale Country Club was ranked amongst the top playing conditions
within our district. The judges were our members, guests, Rochester
District Golf Association players and representatives, and NCAA Division III premier college players to name a few.
The condition of the greens, approaches, fairways and roughs
were all equal to or better than our local competition. Our greens
were firm, yet receptive to approach shots. Fast but manageable to
putt on and thick with density. Our fairways were also firm and tight.
Our rough is ROUGH! Talk about density and coverage, our rough has
it all. While it is a challenge to hit out of at times, it is indeed designed
to be that way. Even our mowing standard of 3" in the rough has been
maintained throughout the entire year.
If this sounds like not much is wrong with our condition, it is indeed true. While there are some cosmetics that could enhance the
beauty, the non-hazard playing conditions couldn’t have been better.
The only challenge lies within the hazards as our bunkers/sand
traps are beginning to show their age. It has been ten years since the
renovation, and with the harsh Rochester winters, the liners between
the sand and soil have become dislodged and are surfacing quite regularly throughout the course. There are a few answers to this concern,
but none that are inexpensive. The Grounds
Committee has been investigating a variety of solutions which range from
removing the fabric liners
altogether to replacing
them with state-of-the-art
polymer spray on liner.
With seventy-two bunkers
throughout the property,
the manpower and cost of removing the sand and then replacing it
will challenge our current resources. Further evaluations are being
considered that would enable the process to begin in phases and
within a more manageable budget. Until then, try to stay out of the
hazards as they truly are a hazard to your score!
One drainage project has been completed, eliminating the surface
water along the right side of the sixth rough, near the landing area of
many drives. Once completed, the area dried and firmed up like the
remainder of the course. Expectations are that continued drainage
success is projected within this area.
Congratulations to the winning team in this year’s Greenskeeper
T
Revenge Closing Tournament: Chris Leone, Tony Acosta, John
Raimondi, and Andrew Carpentier. This is just a friendly reminder
to be cordial to your greenskeepers as they can toughen up the course
conditions.
Please remember that the golf course will remain open for as long
as the weather allows. As nighttime temperatures drop below freezing,
be on the lookout for FROST as it will delay the opening of the golf
course. Members are reminded to check in at the Golf Shop prior to
play to ensure that the course is free of frost and is open before
starting play.

Autumn Seasonal Rule Updates
Non-Certificate members are now permitted to tee off on weekends before 8:00 a.m. in addition to the after 9:30 a.m. rule.
Fivesomes are allowed beginning October 1st for the remainder of
this year.
Weekday Guest Day Policy
For the convenience of the members and to allow for a completed
18 hole round of golf, members will be allowed to bring a guest anytime during the weekdays. Please phone the golf shop ahead to ensure
a timely round.
Frost Delays
As the weather begins to become colder, the opportunity of frost
increases. Because frost is unpredictable, we encourage you to phone
ahead to check the status of the golf course. Due to an extended Frost
Delay, play may begin using a modified shotgun start. This will be done
as a convenience to the members suspended from play during a delay.
This is also the perfect time to have our professional staff check
your golf clubs for worn grips, bent shafts or other flaws in need of repair before the start of the next season.

DRESS CODE
REMINDER:
The Board of Governors has been asked
to investigate the current Clubhouse
Dress Code in hopes of permitting
denim wear in the future. In order to
gather the membership’s opinion, a
survey has been created and will be
sent to you for your feedback. Please
be on the look-out for the survey as
we thank you in advance for taking the
time to complete it.
In the meantime, please remember that
denim is restricted throughout the club.
For a complete description of our
Dress Code, please contact the office
and we will be happy to e-mail you a
current copy to review. As the Seasonal
Deck begins to attract more member
dining, I must remind you that our
Dress Code for the deck is the same as
the Clubhouse. In the event that you
have any questions, please call the
Clubhouse prior to arrival for
more information.
Our Dress Code is not meant to penalize
any individual member, but instead is in
place to maintain the club’s standards
as set by the membership. Please note
that there will be social activities at the
club when the dress code will be
relaxed, allowing denim to be worn for
that particular function.
Please remember to place
Cell Phones
on Vibrate Only
and to use caution
when texting!

Fishing Derby Results
Held Sunday, October 3, 2015
One dozen of Midvale’s finest tacklers took to the pond on hole number seventeen to prove they were
indeed the 2015 Fishing Derby Champion. With the weather being a bit cold, tacklers were most
successful fishing at the pond’s bottom.
Lured by fresh night crawlers, the large-mouth bass had no chance as the lines entered the pond for the one hour contest.
The most fish caught was six—by the steady hands of Mollie Sullivan. The smallest fish caught was reeled in
measuring just over one inch in length and weighing just over five ounces. This fish was caught by Josie Sullivan.
The catch of the day came when a three-year-old large-mouth bass, measuring over eight inches in length and weighing nearly one-half a pound, was brought in by Michael Soprano.
As always, the derby was great fun--the hour of fishing seemed to fly by with all of the activity on the fishing lines. If
you missed this year’s event, you will want to plan ahead for next year as the fish are sure to be even bigger yet!

Co-Worker
Stars Program
Midvale Country Club’s Co-Worker Star is awarded to a co-worker
from the Restaurant Department, Jamie Converse. Jamie has been our
most trustworthy beverage cart operator for over a decade!
She was originally hired to work in the snack stand seasonally, but
excelled throughout looking for more challenges and rewards.
Jamie is a very motivated individual who is able to work long shifts
with little supervision. Her memory is one of her most successful traits
as she routinely pulls up to a group of members already knowing what
they are going to order. While she doesn’t have ESP, she does have a
keen sense of exceeding expectations.
Jamie has been a key co-worker, delivering the best service to the
members almost on a daily basis and with regularity. We are
saddened to know that she may be moving on after this season,
but very fortunate for the ten years of service she has worked. It is
no secret that whoever tries to fill her void next season will be
frequently told, “Jamie used to … “
Please join me on congratulating Jamie Converse on being
awarded this Service Star!

co-worker loyalty, create a competitive edge and also make
Midvale a fun place to work. All of the above equate to
Membership satisfaction.
To track your remaining balance, locate the area on the bottom left
of your monthly statements. Your monthly statement will indicate
your balance due with the following sentence located in the bottom
right corner of your statement:
“Post-Billed amount of $XXX.XX remaining,
to be used by 03/31/16.”
The above sentence will be omitted for any members who have
surpassed their minimum spending requirement. If in question,
please call the main office at your convenience.
