Letter From COO/GM
Dear Members,
First, a big “THANK YOU” to Dan Brutto for over 6
years of service as a Board Member and several more
years on committees. Dan has decided to step down
from his position on the Board of Directors. At this
time the Board would like to welcome Andy Leonard
to serve in place of Dan for the remainder of his term,
which ends in October. Andy Leonard and his wife,
Janelle, have two children, Andrew and Maiya, have
been Members for several years. Andy has served on a
committee for several years during his time here. He
and his family use all aspects of St Ives.
Our normal adventurous winter season is finally
behind us and we recently welcomed the arrival of
spring. With the warmer weather comes the increase
in outdoor activities. The Golf Course is starting to
green up and the Engineering Department is working
hard to get the Pool ready for the season. As a reminder,
please be courteous of the Golf Course rules. During
the summer there are more young adults outside in
the neighborhood. Please help us make them aware
that the Golf Course is restricted to golf only and
should not be used as a recreational or play area for
non-golfers. For your child’s safety, they need to be
aware of golfers.
• Pets are not allowed on
St Ives Club property. This
includes the Golf Course,
Tennis area, Pool, and Main
Clubhouse
• Members and non-members
are not allowed to walk/jog/
run on the Golf Course
• Anyone driving a golf cart
on Club property must have a valid driver’s license.
No one should hang off a cart, stand in the club
storage area while moving, etc.
• Keep an eye out for night time Golf Course
vandalism
If you witness any of this, please call the Club at
770.623.1239. If you are calling outside of normal
Club hours of operations, call the emergency number
at 404.362.1663.
We look forward to seeing everyone at your Club.
Please contact me at any time if you feel I may be of
assistance. Your input is always welcome. We are here
to serve.

Shake the Shanks
While we all want to shy away from that dreaded
“s word,” the shank can be a common, frustrating
problem. As I’m sure we all know from experience,
when we hit one, there are often more coming. Use the
following guidelines to not only avoid the shanks, but
how to get yourself out of them if they do arise.
1.
Understand the shank: Most golfers think the
shank is caused by an open clubface, when in fact it
usually comes from an excessively closed clubface.
With an out-to-in swing path, the clubface closes to
a point where the hosel strikes the ball, causing the
shank. With this understanding, make sure you aren’t
trying to close the face even more.
2.
Setup: The shanks often occur when your stance
is too close to the ball. Take a step back, even if it feels
like you are slightly reaching for the ball.
We have added four more
weeks to our spring Ladies’
Golf Clinics - that’s a total
of 12 weeks of instruction!
Join us anytime in covering
all areas of the game
including:
Full Swing, Short Game,
and Course Management.

JUNE

3.
Path: The closed clubface is often caused by an
out-to-in swing path (more commonly, “over the top”).
Place an object (2x4, alignment stick, headcover, etc.)
about an inch outside of the golf ball. Make sure not to
hit the object on your downswing.
*Clinics will not be held on June 3rd.
SIWGA News
By Aline Cook
The 2016 season is off to a great start thanks
in no small measure to all the hard work
put in by the SIWGA Board during the
off-season! A special thanks to Michelle
Janicki and her officers for all the planning,
process improvements, and keeping us
apprised of pro-shop and agronomy
updates. A change welcomed by all is the
new Ringer Card System devised by our
Golf Coordinator, Val Lesniak.
Opening Day was a fabulous success and
the weather could not have been scripted
more beautifully - in fact, sunny, warm days
were the rule rather than the exception for
the entire month of March.
All those in attendance for Opening Day
were warmly welcomed by Head Pro, Billy
Jack. Mollie Boney presented the new
online sign-up system which streamlines
the registration process for regular play,
team play, and all SIWGA calendar events.
We trust everyone is enjoying this
enhancement. Grounds Superintendent,
Kyle MacDonald, provided all with an
update of current and future course
improvements - as a bonus, mascots Rugby
and Wesson paid a surprise visit to the ladies
on the driving range before play!
Please make sure you check the calendar
in your 2016 Yearbook (many thanks for
another fine job by Sue Shirk) or on the
website for other upcoming important
dates. And remember, May is Skin Cancer
Awareness Month so keep the sunscreen
handy.
Providing a special opportunity to do a bit
of early spring shopping, Donna Norris, our
Pro Shop Manager, hosted a trunk show
featuring selections from Hipsi Belts and Jo
Fit. All in all, it was a most informative and
fun-filled kick-off to what promises to be a
memorable golf season.
See you on the course!
At this writing we are only a little over
six short weeks from our coveted SIWGA
Member/Guest Tournament. We hope
everyone has already extended invitations
to their guests and signed-up! Holding it
later this year should afford everyone ample
opportunity to finely hone their skills!

the first day to fill out emergency contact forms), and
drop-off service will be offered on the first day through
the last day of each camp. This service is an additional
$10.00 per house per day and is only available inside

JUNIOR GOLF
PGA JUNIOR LEAGUE
JUNIOR BUILD YOUR OWN LESSON PLAN
Back for a 3rd year of competition, is our
exciting team based learning opportunity
for all junior golfers ages 13 and under.
If your child’s schedule does not allow participation in the clinics, we have
created a “Build-Your-Own Coaching Plan”. This plan revolves around
your child’s schedule. It is designed for an individual, or a small group of
junior golfers (between 1 - 4 players). This allows one-on-one or small group
instruction with the Golf Professional of your choice.
Designed to bring a “Little League”
atmosphere to the game of golf, PGA
Junior League provides a structured
league environment for junior golfers to
compete and have fun.
The local teams will consist of four to
seven teams within reasonable geographic
proximity. Competitions consist of
three, 3-hole matches, also known as
“flags”, which allow for substitutions
between flags, giving everyone a chance
to play. The league season runs from
May 1st - July 31st with championships
to follow.
Each player will receive:
• team jersey
• golf balls
• bag tag
• flag stickers (based on
competitions won) which
affix to their bag tag
The team is limited to 16 players. Cost
is $175.00.
Pricing is for eight hours of instruction. Please contact a member of the Golf Staff
to set up your child’s plan.

Format for 2016:
To avoid prolonged and extended
match scheduling issues with this
tournament, your entry is subject to the
following conditions and stipulations:
• If this tournament has five or less
participants per flighted level, then
the format will be a round robin
with each player to play all other
participants in a best of two out
of three sets (12 point tie breaker
in effect for all sets). Players can
schedule respective matches at
their convenience but the rounds
assigned must be concluded by the
dates/times as described to avoid
excessive scheduling issues and
18 • COURTSIDE • St Ives Country Club
delays between select participants
(e.g. - Round #1 may have Player A
against Player D; Player B vs Player
C, etc.).
• If this tournament has six or more
participants per flighted level, then
the Director of Tennis shall “seed”
all the players as a draw with players
to participate against players in
each respective round of their draw
and then winners of each round
to advance in their portion of the
draw and eventually play for the
championship and finalist awards
(e.g. Seed #1 and Seed #2 may have
a bye; Seed #3 plays Seed #5; Seed
#4 plays Seed #6, etc. with winners
to advance). A consolation bracket
may be considered depending on
the number of participants in the
main draw. • All matches as determined by the
“draw” or the round robin format
must be completed within a two
week period of time based on
mutual participant agreement.
However, if match participants
cannot schedule or agree to match
dates/day or times within the two
week allocated period, then the
match will be formally scheduled
for the Sunday that concludes the
two week period at 9:30am. If a
player or players cannot participate
before or on that Sunday morning
concluding the two week allocation,
then one or both will “forfeit” that
particular match if they do not
“show up” and play the match on
that scheduled Sunday at 9:30am.
The objective is to avoid select
matches remaining in a prolonged
“scheduling” status.
The Tennis Professional Staff will send
the draws to the Members.

May 31st - June 3rd
After an extremely competitive spring junior
ALTA season, the junior season has come
to an end. Good Luck to all junior teams
who are one step closer to the city finals by
making it to the play-offs. Congratulations
to all the other juniors this season who
played extremely hard but, came up a few
points shy of the play-offs. Thank you
to all the team captains who helped this
spring season run very smoothly with all of
their hard work scheduling matches week
to week. The season couldn’t have worked
without all of the St Ives juniors and parents
who helped make this spring ALTA season
a very enjoyable one. Please mark your
calendars for Friday, May 6th, our year end
Junior ALTA Party and our Singles Club
unior ews Championships starting Friday, May 27th.
Written by: The summer USTA season is just around
the corner, good luck to all junior players.

Polices Regarding
Guests At The Pool
St Ives welcomes guests at the Pool. Please adhere to the
following Club Policies when bringing guests to the Pool:
• All guests must be checked in at the Pool
Registration Desk by a Member
• A Guest Fee will be charged to the Member’s
account at a cost of $7.00 per person/per visit.
No cash payments are accepted
• A guest’s total number of visits are limited to 10
times per season*
*A resident guest may visit the Pool a maximum of 10 times
during the calendar year.
*A Non-Resident Pool Guest is defined as someone
residing more than 50 miles away and is staying in the
home of a Member. These guests may register at the
Clubhouse with the management of the Club to be able
to use the Pool while staying in the home of the Member
for a guest fee of $100.00 per person, for unlimited use
during their stay, or the daily fee amount if more
cost-effective. If a Member has more than one
non-resident guest staying with them at the same time,
the maximum charge will be $250.00 per family. If a
Member decides to use this program after they have paid
the daily guest fee, all of those charges may be applied to
this program. Please see the Club’s bylaws for complete
resident and non-resident descriptions.
Limits on guest usage are defined in the Club’s
bylaws to ensure and recognize the benefits of
exclusive Club Membership. Each area of the Club has
specific maximum limits on the number of times guests
who live within a fifty-mile radius of the Club may play
or use those areas. There is also an OVERALL limit for
guest usage of the club in general. No combination of
Guest use of the Clubhouse, Tennis, Pool, or Golf
should exceed 12 times/year.
Guest privileges may be denied or revoked at any time
for reasons considered sufficient by the Board in its sole
and absolute discretion. Guests must be accompanied
by a Member or a Member’s Qualified Dependent when
using the Club’s facilities. With the exception of certain
golf charges, charges or purchases made for guests must
be made through the Member’s account.
Members are responsible for assuring that their guests
are not exceeding guest limits. If a guest has exceeded
the allowed limits, the hosting Member will be subject
to disciplinary action. This discipline could include
suspension of guest privileges, suspension of the
Member, and the possibility of expulsion if severe
violations occur.
Logo Mug Program At The Cabana
For our 7th summer, we will sell nice
insulated logo mugs at the Pool in an
effort to cut down on paper/plastic
waste and trash at the pool.
Est. 1989
As always, we will begin selling the
mugs on opening weekend through the first couple of
weeks or until we have sold out. The new mugs sold at
the beginning of each season are always a new color
so you must purchase and use this year’s mug in order
to benefit from the complimentary beverages for the
first summer of use. If you use last year’s mug, regular
beverage pricing will apply. We certainly encourage use
of last year’s mugs.
The price per new mug is $11.50 and as long as you use
this mug at the Cabana, you will receive complimentary
fountain sodas and iced tea ALL SUMMER LONG!
The price if you use mugs from previous years is $1.75 for
fountain soda and $1.75 for iced tea.
In order to receive the complimentary beverage, you
must have the mug with you when you place your order.
These mugs are not usable in the other areas of the
Club. We will give the children colored markers so they
can have fun decorating them and will remember which
mug is theirs all summer.
We look forward to another fun summer at the
St Ives Pool!
