With Christmas and a prosperous 2010 behind us, we look forward to the challenges of 2011. Odessa Country Club has now been in existence for 72 years. OCC consistently remains the premier place to be a member in West Texas. We have a number of projects that we are going to undertake in 2011 Kevin Bartley which include the half-way house President and a comprehensive drainage plan, because we are going to see rain sometime, although it may not seem like it. We have many other projects which we will continue to push through 2011 and thereafter to enhance the enjoyment of all of our members. There are ongoing enhancements to the golf course and with a little help from Mother Nature I think you are going to see this course in the best shape it has been in for a long time. Here is to looking at 2011. Happy New Year! Kevin Bartley From The Manager Happy New Year! I hope the new look of the Pipeline has caught your eye and you are reading my article for the first time. For those members who religiously read the Pipeline from cover to cover, thank you. The goal of the new look is to increase the reading ability and produce a better form of communication to all members. The new Pipeline is a work in progress and will be filled with many pictures and articles of activities in and around the Ryan George General Manager Club. 2011 is starting off with a bang. The expansion of our Cocktail Lounge Patio is now complete. The Lounge is one of most utilized areas in the entire Club. The expansion of the existing patio into the under-utilized grassy area has doubled our service capacity outside. Secondly, the long awaited construction of the Links turn room and restroom facilities is beginning. The location of the turn room will be at holes 8 and 12. The new restroom facilities will be located at 4 and 16. The aesthetics of both will resemble our beautiful Clubhouse. If you are interested in the layout or the conceptual design, please stop by the office to view the drawings. The staff, board, and committee members have several other enhancement projects planned for 2011. Each project is designed to respect the traditions of the Club while developing a private club experience the membership will enjoy many years to come.

I would like to wish one of our Assistant Professionals, Jerrod Simmons, the best of luck as he continues his career in golf at the prestigious Brook Hollow Golf Club. I would also like to welcome our new Assistant Professional, Forrest Eikenburg. Forrest comes to us from Barton Creek in Austin. He is excited to be here and Clay Kinnaird looking forward to continuing Director of Golf his education in the golf business and servicing the members of Odessa Country Club. We look forward to seeing you early and often on your golf courses and we are starting off the new year with our annual Snow Scramble on Saturday January 15th. This is always a fun event to kick off the New Year, so get two of your friends and plan on participating. We have a very full tournament calendar for the year that can be viewed on our website, so get on your computer and mark your calendar for all the fun events you want to play in. If you should have any questions, please contact a member of our professional staff and we would be happy to assist you. With the New Year, comes some equipment changes. All manufacturers may no longer supply wedges with “square grooves”. While they can no longer make them, you may play with them in any competition but USGA events until 2024. As you can see, this will only affect a very small percentage of golfers. In anticipation of this process, I have stocked the golf shop with a large inventory of “square groove” wedges. Now is a great time to stock up on these wedges as they will not be available again and are still legal to play with. Stop by the golf shop and see if we have that special wedge for you. It’s never too early to start working on your game. Make plans to get out to the course on those good winter days and let one of our staff help you with your golf game. Good golfing, Clay 3 Golf Ask the Golf Staff If one of your New Years resolutions is to improve your game or lower your scores, it would be a great time to start working with one of our professional golf staff. They are more than willing to help you with all aspects of your game and assist you in your search for the latest and greatest clubs for the New Year. As always, the golf shop staff is always here to assist you with all your needs. NEW PRODUCTS The new Titleist 910 drivers are here!!!

We will start our Tee Renovation Program on the Old Course this month which will continue through February. Our Tee Renovation Program on the Old Course, Greg Hinton which has been approved by Dir. of golf course Maint. your Board to improve the golf course, will take place over the next two months and result in completely replacing all the original Common Bermuda grass turf with a new and improved turf variety, Tif-Sport hybrid Bermuda. The Tee Renovation Program shows the continued commitment of the golf course maintenance staff, the Greens Committee and the Board of Directors to the improvement of the golf courses. At the time of renovation, we will modify the tee’s soil profile with sand and other amendments to allow us to handle elevated salt levels in the future. The Links Course staff is also continuing its many beneficial winter projects. Bunker renovations are on-going as well as our Greens Enlargement Program on #18 and #1 green’s with #2 and #3 to follow. The lack of rainfall in the last four months and a predicted dry, warm Spring has the GCM maintenance staff monitoring salt levels in greens bi-monthly. We will continue to heavy/flush irrigate greens on Mondays on both golf courses. 5 Ready to Go with all the fixings for your next PARTY!

Winter squashes such as acorn, spaghetti, & butternut are great sources of dietary fiber and vitamins. They can be peeled, diced and roasted and served as a healthy side dish. They also make delicious soups, great for a cold West Texas evening. Here’s a recipe from the Culinary Institute of America for Butternut squash soup. Directions Gingerroot, minced White wine Vegetable oil, as needed Onions, med dice Celery, med dice Garlic cloves, chopped Butternut squash, cooked Chicken stock Heavy cream Salt & white pepper ¾ oz 12 fluid oz 1 fluid oz 6 oz 6 oz 1 tablespoon 2 lbs 3 qts 8 fluid oz to taste 1.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. We had another great year here at the courts. My staff and I look forward to serving you in 2011. Our new programs for 2011, we have added a Tuesday Night Men’s Drill from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, then followed with some doubles action, so if looking for a good workout stop by. David Mendez I know you will enjoy it. Looking for a Director of Tennis match, or just wanting a workout, we now have Mixed Doubles on Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm. Just call before 1:00pm so our staff can set up your matches. We finished our tennis season with a couple of great events. In November, we had our Parent Child Tournament. In the open division, we had the Slater’s trying to defend their title , but after a hard fought semifinal match they fell to the Beakley’s . So, in the championship match we had two of our upcoming junior’s meet in the final Ryan Morton (OHS) and Tate Beakley(PHS). After three great sets the Morton’s captured the title. In the 14-under division, the Steen’s came away with the title by defeating the Jackson’s 8-6 in their round robin format. We also had a group of our 10-under girls who came out to play in the singles tournament. Rhadi Singh won her division and Kristen Morton finished a close second. Everyone played some excellent, great tennis and we look forward to an even better event next year! On December 10th, we had our Jr. Christmas Tennis Party. Our kids enjoyed some tennis games, pizza, movies, and made their own ice cream sundae, followed by a gift exchange. It was a lot fun seeing the kids having a great time. Our Adult and Junior tennis programs will resume January 4th (leagues, private lessons, after school programs). Juniors , get your rackets out again on January 22nd. We will have our first tournament, NOTHING BUT DOUBLES TOURNAMENT, so find you a partner and come out to play. Then, on the 29th, we will travel to Abilene and play an inter-club match against Abilene Country Club. This will be a great way to start off the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the current Tennis Committee Members – Chairman Rick Browning, Paula Coulter, Lisa Hill, Steve Mareschal, Steve Steen and Robin Ward. Your work is appreciated. Our Mission Statement for 2011 is to maintain exceptional standards of member service as we provide dynamic activities that meet the highest degree of competition. 16 Tennis Parent & Child Club Championship Winners! 4 - COLOR Printing Graphic Design and MORE Richard and Ryan Morton (Open) 109 N.
