MALLETS & MARTINIS
With the arrival of September and October and the
cooler weather that follows, we are looking forward
to outstanding weather to enjoy the many outdoor
activities at Cullasaja. The heated pool will be inviting,
the monthly nature hikes and bike rides are sure to
be popular, and we will all look to dine outside more
frequently either in the overlook or pavilion. Having
come up from Florida, my family and I are really
looking forward to what, in my opinion, is one of our
best seasons, when clear blue skies, low humidity, and
cool evenings make outdoor activities and absolute
delight. I hope you will join us at the Club to enjoy all
that is being offered over the coming months.
UPCOMING EVENTS: Don’t miss the many exciting events outlined in this
newsletter. We have many great things planned for you in September and
October including the Labor Day Weekend Spectacular with Sunday afternoon
Duck Race and Dinner, Wine Tasting on September 10th, the final Cabaret Night
on September 18th, the Mixed Member-Guest September 24th and 25th, the
Cullasaja Cup on October 1st – 3rd, Croquet End of Season Dinner on October
8th, the Autumn Celebration Party on October 9th and the Halloween Party on
October 31st. This is just a short list of the many activities and events we have
planned for you in September and October.
The Cullasaja Club’s Annual Membership Meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. on
Sunday, September 20, 2015 in the Lower Level of the Activity Center. Immediately
following the meeting there will be a Complimentary Social and Appreciation
Presentation to recognize our 2015 volunteers and outgoing Board Members from
both Cullasaja Club and Cullasaja HOA.
In early September, you will receive a web-link via email to complete our 2015
Member Satisfaction Survey. We encourage both household spouses to complete
the Survey that will take less than 10 minutes to finish. Your input and candid
comments are very valuable to us as we look at ways to improve the Club. Thank
you in advance for taking the time to provide us with your input!
Reflecting back on this season, I am very pleased with the development and
growth of the department leaders at the Club. They are an outstanding group
of professionals who thoroughly enjoy their time at Cullasaja. Their hard work,
leadership, dedication to ensuring your satisfaction throughout the Club, and
their willingness to adapt to new ideas are all building the foundation for the
quality and service you expect and deserve. I am honored to be able to work
alongside such a group of fine people and look forward to continuing to build on
the success of this season next year.
Thank you for your support this season and we look forward to seeing you at the
Club over the coming months. Please let me know if there is anything we can do
to enhance your experience at Cullasaja.

RESULTS FROM THE JULY CROQUET QUALIFIER
TOURNAMENT: During the month of July we had our 3rd
qualifying tournament. This year we will have 4 qualifiers
in total and the winners all advance to the Croquet
Championships in September.
JEFF SOO RULES SEMINAR: Recently the CCA invited
Jeff Soo, a world class player and instructor, to come in
for a full day of rules training. We had a one hour session
in a classroom setting followed by individual 1 ½ hours
sessions down on our beautiful lawn. We had around 25 in
the classroom and about 40 on the lawn, so it was a very
successful day.

NEW PROGRAMMING
SADIE HAWKINS DAY CROQUET MIXER AND DINNER
PARTY ON THE LAWN: This truly was a fun-filled event where
each lady invited a guy to be her partner in a tournament.
The ‘all whites’ rule was thrown out of the window for this
one – denims were deemed the most appropriate attire for
the occasion. There was a bar, a keg of beer, delicious food
and foot stomping music. We had over 20 teams enter the
competition, and a great time was had by all. Next year we
expect to see an even larger crowd.
MALLETS & MARTINIS EXPANDS TO TWO NIGHTS
EACH WEEK: In response to popular demand, we have
decided to offer Mallets & Martinis each Tuesday and
Thursday at 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. with dinner to follow.
The complimentary croquet clinic will only be held on
Thursday afternoons at 3:00 p.m.
CROQUET INTER-CLUB MATCHES: This season we will
participate in 9 inter-club croquet matches. Please do
not hesitate to give me a call if you think you might be
interested in playing in one or both of the remaining two.
Yes, they are competitive but they are also lots of fun and
it’s a great way to see some other clubs and to make new
friends.
CROQUET FINALE AWARDS BANQUET & DINNER: If you
are a member of the CCA, please make plans to join us for
this grand finale event. The CCA will cover the cost for the
awards and the dinner for all CCA members that evening.
It’s just another one of the many perks that all CCA members
enjoy each season. So please mark your calendars now and
plan to join us on Thursday, October 8th.
REMAINING INTER-CLUB MATCHES:
Burlingame at Cullasaja
Thursday, September 3rd
Country Club of Sapphire Valley at Cullasaja
Thursday, October 1st
ANNUAL CLUBS CROQUET TOURNAMENT: The draw
is divided into two groups of 5 clubs playing qualifying
matches to get to the Championships. We will choose 8 of
our very best players to represent Cullasaja for this event,
which will be held on Thursday, September 10th.
CUSTOM MALLET FITTING ANYTIME: For those of you
who want to be fitted for a custom mallet of your very own,
I can provide that service for you anytime you like. I have
demo mallets you can try, and I can handle your custom
order to the manufacturer. It’s as simple as that - we take
care of everything for you.

Our 2015 season is almost over. We are very sad to say goodbye but have made many
wonderful memories over the last six months! We hope that the seasons ahead are just
as amazing!
The month of August has been very successful. Our Ladies Member-Guest was a huge
hit with a sold out crowd of 80 participants. I would like to take a moment and thank
Beth Elzemeyer and her committee. The tournament would not have been a success
without them! I would also like to thank Jody & Wood Lovell and Highlands Sotheby’s
for their tournament support.
September & October bring us more opportunities to create mountain memories. The
golf shop will have a game available on Labor Day sign up on the tee before you tee
off. Our Mixed Member Guest is sold out with 24 teams committed to play. We have our
Cullasaja Cup scheduled the 1st – 3rd. Sign up in the golf shop so you don’t miss out on
all the fun. The professional staff has also scheduled a one day guest day for October the
9th. Be on the lookout for more details on this exciting event.
With the implementation of our Mill River retail program we have seen huge
improvements the last two seasons in our golf shop customer base. Please continue
to utilize this amazing program while you are away this winter. We will be happy to
order and drop ship anything you wish this offseason. The holidays are right around the
corner and I would hate the idea of anyone paying outrageous retail prices!!

CULLASAJA TENNIS PROGRAM IS ALIVE AND WELL: This season so far we
have had more hours of tennis being played by our Members and we are using
all 4 courts on a regular basis. If the participation continues at this pace it will be
a record breaking year. Thanks to everyone for your continued support of our
Cullasaja tennis program.
NEW MIXED DOUBLES CHAMPIONS: Congratulations to Rick and Margaret
Eichman for winning the 2015 Annual Mixed Doubles Tournament!
JUNIOR CLINICS: Much appreciation to all of the parents and grandparents who
sent their children out to participate in this year’s junior clinics, which were offered
each Wednesday and Friday in July. A special mention goes to the Dunwodys…
their grandchildren were at all the clinics and I think they played almost every day
while they were in town.
INCREDIBLE TURNOUT FOR THE ‘BATTLE OF THE SEXES’ MATCH: I would
like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended and supported our
event on Saturday, August 8th. There were reports that more than 135 members
came out to enjoy the excitement. Don’t worry if you missed it this year, the ladies
have already challenged the guys to a 2016 rematch, and have vowed that the
outcome next summer will be different! Also, many, many thanks to Betsy Butler
& Farah Reynolds, and Rick Eichman & Larry Ainsworth because without them this
match would never have happened. It was truly wonderful to see such a large
crowd of spectators cheering them on.
THE TENNIS PROGRAM IS ALIVE AND WELL: The tennis program has had a
very busy season so far. The hours of play through the month of July are currently
ahead of the hours from the previous year. This means that by the end of October
we will have once again played well over 4,000 hours of tennis here at the club. We
have two big months left, and we still have lots of fun-filled tennis in store for all
of you.
FRIDAY 9TH
LABOR DAY WEEKEND AT THE TENNIS CENTER: Pro’s Choice Round Robin will
see some form of round robin play, so if you are in town for Labor Day Weekend,
stop by the Tennis Center and join the fun. It’s on September 5th 10:00 am.

to sell, along with grips and a multitude
of accessories. We have all of the basics
covered for tennis, croquet and fitness, so
why shop anywhere else? If we don’t stock
what you’re looking for, we will be happy to
order it for you. For croquet, please keep in
mind that I also offer custom mallet fitting
and I will be more than happy to special
order a mallet for you any time you wish.
We also offer the Mill River Buying Plan
here in the Tennis Pro Shop, so you will
definitely get a great price, and can we can
usually beat internet pricing. If you have
any sweeps credits, make sure to cash them
in before the end of the season if possible.

UPCOMING GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
approximately half of our typical rainfall. This has forced
us to lean heavily on the irrigation system for the majority
of the season. As you may know, we are in the process of
installing a new irrigation system and are currently a little
more than 50% complete with the installation. Holes 2-8
and 15-17 have the new system with holes 1,9-14 and 18
slated to be completed this off-season. It has proven to be
quite a challenge to manage 2 very different systems. The
biggest difference most golfers have noticed is the wetter
fairways on the “old holes” . For the golf maintenance staff,
the most noticeable difference has been the drastically
reduced number of man-hours required to hand water
the “new holes” . The coverage of the new system is 100%
better and more uniform than that of the old. While we still
have some areas that have browned out, this has less to do
with irrigation coverage and more to do with the different
types of turf grasses that occupy our rough. We actually
welcome the opportunity to stress these areas during
dry times. While unsightly, it provides an opportunity to
introduce desirable turf through inter-seeding. Beginning
next week the weak and heavily contaminated areas will be
re-seeded to promote a more drought tolerant, playable
and aesthetically pleasing stand of turf in the rough.
I would like to take a moment to update the membership on
some upcoming inputs we have scheduled for the next few
weeks on the golf course. Over the last several off-seasons
we have installed new Kentucky Bluegrass roughs around
12 of our green surrounds. In our climate it does not take
long for the new sod to become contaminated. In effort to
fight contamination, we plan to make three applications of
an herbicide that will selectively impact the bentgrass that
has taken hold in the new sod. Following application, the
bentgrass will become bleached out and weak, giving the
Kentucky Bluegrass an opportunity to fill back in. Research
has shown that late August through September to be the
most effective time to make applications of this product.
While treated areas may become a bit unsightly, it is
important that we stay ahead of the curve on the bentgrass
intrusion of our new roughs.
This year’s post Labor Day aerification will have little impact
on playability. The greens are in good health and we can
safely postpone our more disruptive cultural practices until
November. On September 8th we plan to aerify with solid
tines (no core removed), double verticut and topdress
the greens. This process will minimally impact the surface
and they should be back to normal by the weekend. If the
weather cooperates, we should easily finish the process on
that day and re-open on Wednesday the 9th. In addition to
the greens, we plan to solid tine aerify the fairways to help
promote better air and water movement through the root
zone. This process is also minimally invasive and should
heal up in a week to ten days.
down toward Sylva and Franklin. We have ridden the Blue Ridge
Parkway from near Waynesville to Asheville and had a pretty good
showing for the Tour de…(Wait for it) not France but Franklin for
the past couple years. Our TDF is not a race but just a tour that is
ridden at your own pace. If all this sounds a bit too much we have
nice easy rides that do not involve climbing tortuous mountain
passes. Some of our routes are quite tame and pretty.
I was once outed as someone who spent a lot of time in Tennessee
because I said in response to a surprising issue: “Get out!” which,
when my Tennessee accent kicks in, sounds more like “Git Ayout”.
Well, I am all about Git Ayout and more members are gittin ayout
too. Our club is a spectacular property with enough things to
keep one busy from early morning to late at night. One thing that
makes our club such a special place is the mountains in which it
is built. Gittin ayout for some of us means leaving the club to see
more of the mountains around us. This article is just to let more
of our membership know some of the ways we are doing this.
In addition this year we are planning to take a 17 mile downhill
mountain bike ride through the Great Smoky Mountain National
Park. We have done this route in previous years and everyone
who has done it will tell you I am not exaggerating that it is all
downhill. And it is on a gently graded gravel road – not a single
track on a cliff side. Look for more information in your e-mail and
in the Week At a Glance.
Our hiking program: All season we schedule hikes on Saturday
morning every two weeks. This year we have visited High Falls
at peak flow; Hiked the Foothills Trail to Whitewater Falls then
beyond it down to South Carolina; wandered down the river on
the Chattooga River Trail, and much more. In addition we plan to
hike Panthertown with the fall colors and take a walk from the
Club to the Devil’s Courthouse. Watch the Week At A Glance for
the scheduled hikes and consider joining us.
Our cycling group is always looking for more people to get
involved. We will even find you a bike to borrow if you want to try
before you bring your bike up or even buy one.
These are just a couple ways we are making available to help
our membership enjoy more of the mountains surrounding the
Cullasaja Club. We encourage you to look more in to it and come
by the Activity Center to talk to us about more ways to Git Ayout
If any of you do not know, we have an active cycling group that
does both mountain and road bike riding. We have routes around
Highlands and Cashiers of about 20 miles as well as longer routes
Thank you for your support of the golf course as we
continually work to improve course conditions. If you have
any questions or comments please let me know.

IS GLASSWARE IMPORTANT WHEN DRINKING WINE?
The Riedel glass company claims their glasses can “turn a sip
of wine into a celebration.” The family owned and operated
company, which has been around since 1756, uses extensive
varietal sensation research and wine expert accounts to support
their claim. Many in the wine world agree that the enjoyment of
the aroma, taste, texture and finish of a wine is maximized by using
the correct and varietal specific glass when enjoying wine.
Each wine glass consist of 3 parts; the bowl, the stem and the
base. The shape, size and diameter of a glass’s three parts make
up the design or architecture of the glass. Every aspect of the
glass must relate harmoniously in order to translate the proper
message of the wine to the human senses. There are 4 sensations
to consider when constructing the perfect glass and drinking a
wine; the bouquet, texture, flavor and finish. Stemware should
appropriately enhance the quality and intensity of a wine’s
bouquet and allow the consumer to enjoy a complete initial
impression. The watery, creamy, silky or velvety texture variability
of a wine should be highlighted with every sip. Grape specific
glasses also create a balanced interaction between fruit, mineral,
acid and bitter components within the taste of a wine. The finish
should be seamless and long lasting with the properly constructed
and chosen glass.
it directs the wine fairly quickly to the center of the mouth and
tongue. Another type of cut rim guides the wine to the tip of the
tongue. If the wine glass is more like the classic balloon-shaped
glass, known as a rolled rim, the contour allows the wine to flow all
over the mouth but at a slower rate.
As a general rule, invest in wine glasses for the varietal you drink
the most to enjoy it fully each time you open a bottle. Otherwise,
a universal glass will provide everything you need to enjoy every
glass of wine. The International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) has recognized a particular shape that is the accepted
benchmark at all wine judging and competitions. It is also suitable
for the average wine drinker as an all around, every day glass. It
should be made of transparent, colorless glass with a lead content
of up to 9%. Its dimensions are just under 6 inches tall, with a two
inch tall stem and a four-inch tall bowl, about two and a half inches
at its widest diameter and two inches across the rim.
For example, our sense of taste is spread around the mouth and
along the tongue. There are areas where the taste receptors are
in charge of sweet, or sour, or salt or bitter. The design of the glass
directs the wine to different areas of the mouth and tongue. If
the glass is narrower at the top, a glass shape known as a cut rim,
If you are interested in learning more about Riedel and why choosing the right glass will change your wine drinking
experience? Please join us for a Riedel Glass Seminar and Specialty Wine Tasting on Thursday, September 10th from
5:30 to 6:45. The cost of the tasting and seminar is only $20 per person and includes the wines and appetizers.
