Save the Date A Note from the General Manager
OCTOBER 2009 Save the Date Newsletter Published for the Members and Friends of Kensington Golf and Country Club A Note from the General Manager By Bob Crissman | General Manager T All Hallows’ Eve Party October 30, 2009 Ribbon-Cutting Welcome Back & Party November 14, 2009 en, Nine, Eight, Seven…….. It’s countdown time at Kensington! As seen in the photos emailed to you recently (and on the following pages), we’re nearing the completion of the renovation of our beautiful clubhouse. There is still much work to do, but our contractor has assured us that they will be ready for the Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) inspection by November 1st. We then plan to take delivery of Furniture, Fixtures & Accessories (F. F. & A.) between November 3rd & 6th. This is our current and realistic schedule however, we cannot control issues related to inspections or code interpretations. That being said, our plan is to move in during the week of November 9th, warm up the kitchen equipment, get the jitters out of the staff and OPEN with a ribbon cutting “Welcome Back” party on Saturday, November 14th! So, we believe it is safe to plan your travel schedules to be part of this very exciting day. Additionally, our wonderful project chair (and reason we continue to be on time & under budget), David Portman, will be conducting project tours the week before opening as well as the following weeks for our more seasonal flock. Watch your email for details on scheduling and sign-ups as these will be limited in group size. 1 Our Food & Beverage operating schedule as noted on the calendar, has been adjusted and enhanced. We are adding another night of dining (Thursday) and enhancing the entertainment quality for Friday evening dinner dances with table d’hôte dining two times most months and will bring you theme dining, some with programs, seafood nights and periodic club parties on the other Fridays. We hope and trust you enjoy these offerings as your staff and committees have worked hard to provide fresh and exciting ways for our diverse membership to enjoy our new surroundings. You will see many familiar faces when you return, as well as several new ones. Katie Flicker has joined us as our new Lead Receptionist. Katie hails from Leicester, England and has been living in Naples for the past 11 years. She worked in Guest Services at the Marco Island Marriott & the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort and spent six years with Gulfstream Homes working in Sales, Warranty and Administration. Additionally, Ms. Becky Taylor has joined the team as our new Executive Club Secretary supporting our Administrative and Marketing functions. Becky was previously with London Bay Homes and is from Medford, New Jersey where she was the Executive Assistant to the COO of Burlington Coat Factory. Please join me in welcoming these fine ladies as well as all the smiling new ladies and gentlemen who are joining the Kensington Family. We all look forward to kicking off this season, and a great new era for Kensington Golf & Country Club!

Having been on board now for just about two months, I am thrilled to be a part of your team and look forward to a great season ahead… and beyond. In a time of year when life in Naples is generally at its slowest, August and September, I have noticed a great number of people inquiring about homes, rentals, and memberships. October will bring us several home and membership resales, the start of our rental season, and many of you arriving back for season. I have been receiving several calls a week from people inquiring about renting a home here in season, with a golf membership. The good news for the economy is that we have run out of rental options! The bad news for the renters is that the demand outweighs the supply. If any of you still have a rental unit available with a golf membership, please let me know and I will try to match you with a renter. If you have friends and family coming down and are still in need of a rental unit, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss your options. In preparation for what we believe to be a fantastic season, I’d like to share with you some of our plans for marketing and promoting Kensington. First and foremost, our message is clear: We are a member-owned, financiallystable Club with a stunning, newly renovated clubhouse. With the instability of some of the developer-owned clubs around town, this message has a stronger meaning than ever for the coming year. We will be marketing to those clubs in turmoil and hoping to convert some of their members to Kensington. I am finalizing our advertising campaigns and working on the details for mailings, prospecting functions, Realtor education functions, and member events for the coming months. We will be showing off our Club as often as possible! We will continue to offer our Associate Membership for the 2009-2010 year. This is a one-year “trial” plan with an incentive to join at the end. This membership plan could be a great opportunity to those that are not able to find a rental in Kensington for the coming season but still want to have access to our amenities and facilities. Additional membership information will be sent out from the Board of Directors. Once again, we are anticipating a great season ahead and I am delighted to be a part of the excitement at Kensington. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to discuss the membership plans mentioned above or to just say “hello!” I look forward to the opportunity to greet you all at the front doors of our new clubhouse soon! 3 Ladies Lunch Bunch Marie Harris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 659-6360 Rosemary Hammar . . . . . . . . . . 659-6304 Bridge, Ladies (High Intermediate & Duplicate) Connie Derry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 649-8831 Pam Nilson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 430-4961 Bridge, Ladies (Intermediate) Jeanne Morris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 430-5669 Joyce Oldham. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 262-1100 Bridge, Mixed Tom & Marilyn Pritchard . . . . . 643-8219 Artists’ Guild Joan Abelson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 403-8831 Linda Heisler . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 434-2332 Book Club Kathy Price . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 403-0807 Fairlyn Mooradian . . . . . . . . . . . 643-5163 Mah Jongg Juanita Doctors. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 403-3956 Writers and Wanna B’s Steve Roberts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 417-1554 Wednesday, November 18 “Ladies Lunch Bunch Launches Clubhouse” 11:30 prompt New Season, New Clubhouse Pro Shop Trunk Show and special discounts for attendees.

Richard L. Erick, PGA | Golf Professional W ow, summer has gone by quickly and the staff has never been as anxious to get a season started as we are this year. Under the direction of Golf Committee Co-Chairs Jim Nelson and Gary London we have a lot of exciting things planned. In addition to your new clubhouse this is our trade in year for the golf car fleet. There will be 50 new EZ-Go carts delivered the first week of November. The Chelsea Tee Time system has been overhauled providing several new options. If you haven’t already logged on since the upgrade was installed, you will now access Chelsea through the Kensington website at www. kensingtoncc.com. Once you are in the website simply click on Golf and the first item in the drop down menu will be CHELSEA TEE TIMES. Click on this link and it will take you straight in to Chelsea with no further passwords required. Once you have your tee time business complete feel free to browse the website for other information in which you may be interested. Your Ladies’ and Men’s sub-committee chairs, Pat London and Hagan Andersen, in conjunction with their committee members have added several new events to spice up the schedule. In addition, Tom and Julie McCarron of the couples’ sub-committee have developed a fun schedule of events. The new event on the couples schedule will be the “Kensington Fling” which will take place on Sunday January 24th. The event will be chaired by Sue Butschi and details will be posted in the next issue. Don’t forget opening days for men and women are November 4th and 5th respectively. And our first Sunday Social for the year is November 1st. Please be reminded that if your northern club is not on GHIN you need to have your club forward to us your 20 most recent scores for handicapping purposes. The Golf Staff is looking forward to yet another great season! ACERS CLUB Couples Events Special congratulations to Faye Derham for her Hole-in-One on August 4th at neighboring club Royal Poinciana. Faye’s ace occurred on the 5th hole of the Cypress Course and there to witness her feat were Patsy Zalokar, Margie Fiocchi, and Joanne Salazar.

The loss of Nemacur, as well as several other chemicals, puts us, as Golf Course Superintendents, in a precarious situation because one of our largest yearly pest problems now has no effective control. We are currently using an experimental product which is an extract from a black walnut tree which acts as a repellent but at the rate in which nematodes reproduce a repellent will only work for so long. By Corey McDonough | Golf Course Superintendent F or the past decade Golf Courses have been under attack from environmental groups mainly for the use of fertilizers and pesticides. While I understand the concern these groups have, the problem I see is that we are being judged solely on opinion rather than scientific fact. We have gone to extreme lengths to prove ourselves, under accusations of misuse, to these groups and the EPA but unfortunately we have been grouped with two other agricultural entities, residential and commercial landscaping and crop production, which have not aided our cause. What’s our cause? We have tried to spread the word that we are habitat builders not destroyers, that we are environmental stewards and that we are as professional and regulated in our approach to management as any other land management group in the green industry. Unfortunately the finger pointers have not actually visited the golf courses that they are accusing of polluting the environment and seen the abundance and variety of wildlife and wildlife habitat we support. It is much easier to make a claim against an industry if you do not actually know the facts. Nemacur was taken off the market because it was used largely in the crop production sector and was very effective to a point that crop yields have drop significantly since it was pulled. The EPA was ordered, as part of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, to review 600 current pesticides and report on which posed the greatest exposure risk to humans. Unfortunately this approach pitted agricultural producer interests against consumer and environmental interests in a struggle over measuring acceptable pesticide risk. Although I produce no food crop, I am included in what is known as the “Risk Cup” which evaluates all potential exposures and as a result we lose an effective tool in maintaining the golf course. Pesticides are used every day by everyone and public perception is the only difference between what is acceptable and what is viewed as a potential risk. Purell hand sanitizer is a pesticide but many of us use this product several times a day, on the area of the body that is most susceptible to absorption, without considering any long term exposure risk. On the golf course we use pesticides to create the acceptable condition that is demanded within this golf market but we do so in a manner that strictly adheres to the label and minimizes any potential exposure to our members. Alternatives to the chemicals we have lost will be developed and we will move forward but it does raise several questions. Does using pesticides not make us environmental stewards? Would you be willing to accept the conditions of the golf course if pesticides were not used? Could you live without using soap, bug sprays or sanitizing products in your home? The latest in a number of setbacks we have been dealt is the loss of our only effective nematicide. This class of insecticide works against a plant parasitic worm called a Nematode. Nematodes feed mainly on the turf ’s roots and have detrimental effects if left unchecked which can result in complete turf loss of the affected area. I have personally seen low budget golf courses that could not afford to treat large areas with Nemacur (product name), lose entire fairways during the summer months because the turf has no roots to take up soil moisture. Once nematode problems reach this extreme, which can happen in a matter of one summer, it is not an easy recovery. There are 2500 species of nematodes but only two of them are extremely detrimental to bermudagrass, Lance and Sting nematodes. We have moderately high counts throughout the golf course because it is impossible to eradicate the microscopic population through chemical applications. This is one 7 Kensington Golf & Country Club GOLF 30 For 30 EXCITING GOLF NEWS ! New for the 2009-2010 Season Now it’s easy and affordable for you to bring a guest for golf.

I love seeing people all day long and it gets lonely in the afternoons during the summertime. I always consider the new season begins October 1st and that is when the new products start arriving. Every year I try to plan an exciting mix of products to accommodate everyone’s needs. I try to buy items in all sizes but I am limited to the quantities I can purchase. So if your size is not in stock I can always special order it for you. My number one priority is service and fulfilling member’s needs. Ladies, you will see the best performing ladies lines returning like Jamie Sadock, Tail and EP Pro. DKNY has introduced a golf line which is designed by Jamie Sadock herself but using the DKNY fabrics. Do you all remember Isisport? We are in luck; the same designer and fabrics have been bought by a new owner under the new name of le` helene. Before the holidays find some great packable, fun, lightweight jackets from UBU that have been featured in various magazines. We will continue to offer Walter Genuin, Sesto, Footjoy, Golfstream and now Aerogreen golf shoes. Have you heard of Baggalini? This line of hand and travel bags was introduced by two flight attendants and each bag has all the “right” compartments for holding and organizing all your items. Look on our web page for the array of choices from which you can special order. We encourage you to view your golf shop as a store that you will patronize not just for redeeming tournament winnings but also your source for many other items. The more you patronize your shop the more the membership benefits from the added revenue. The tournament credits that you accrue should be realized as added discounts to your purchases. Lastly, let’s not lose sight of the everyday savings you receive as members in your golf shop. Most items are priced with the retail price as well as the member’s 20% discount price. Please keep in mind we are prepared to match the price of any current golf equipment that you see advertised in local stores. Remember if we sell it we service it. To inspire sales for our first quarter of the new season (October-December) we are offering a frequent buyer reward program. At the end of the quarter we will track the merchandise sales in the golf shop by member number and reward Kensington Golf Shop Bucks based on your total purchases. The “bucks” will be rewarded as follows: GOLF SHOP BUCKS + MEMBER DISCOUNT = BIG SAVINGS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I have brought in many returning “players” in the golf apparel lines and added a few new ones to stir up the arrangement. I have brought in product for both men and women that I consider “leisure wear” for the after golf scene. And there will be items for those looking for gifts. By attending various shows I have the capability to order from many different vendors, so as you are looking for items with your corporate name or for items to give as gifts for an event I can do it all. There is nothing like a one stop shop inside the gates of Kensington. There will also be various price points and sizes available within our purchasing parameters. $100 purchased=$10 $250 purchased=$30 $500 or more purchased=$60 These “bucks” can be applied in the second quarter (JanuaryMarch) of the season toward merchandise purchases. Men can look forward to Adidas, Under Armour, Antigua , Nike and Greg Norman for your true performance golf attire. I have added upscale Peter Millar for their sun- washed golf shirts, woven shirts, casual line of t-shirts, drawstring shorts and swim trunks. Tommy Bahama is finally made available to the golf shops their most popular silk camp shirts so think of us when you are looking to update your cocktail wear. Carnoustie is a men’s line that is prevelant out west in the golf market with luxury performance cotton and birdseye collars. We will also be offering items from the Jack Nicklaus collection. And for those of you looking for the Nicklaus heritage polo with tailored collar and left chest pocket, we’ll have it available along with their expandable and gripper waistband short.

FITNESS fitness center & spa · Do you try to get in every now and then for a stress-relieving tune-up? · Do you see your therapist religiously- once a week, every two weeks, once a month? While getting a massage-regardless of how often-is incredibly beneficial to your mind and body, getting frequent massage treatments is even more powerful as a HEALTHCARE ALLY. People who get massage therapy regularly demonstrate greater improvement and notice a reduction in pain and muscular tension. People regularly make a commitment to fitness; changing their diet, etc.... the difference they’d experience if they regularly made a commitment to massage therapy is phenomenal. It only makes sense that those aches and pains might disappear faster, stay away longer, or even go away altogether with more frequent visits. Stress might never reach those detrimental levels. Not only would your body benefit, but your mind would have time to wash away the stresses of a life lived in overdrive. Massage therapy is a great way to take charge and reverse the situation.
