From the President
Our Vision:
"A visible and ongoing pursuit of excellence in facilities, programs and member
service where golf, dining, wellness, swimming and tennis combine to make
Carmel a place for fellowship and the country club of choice for families in
Greater Charlotte."
S
ummer is upon us, and we are ready to relax and enjoy our Club. With the increase in utilization for all areas of Carmel, we’d like to share these reminders about the importance of showing
courtesy to your fellow Club members.
Mark Anderson
President
Currently, our Golf Committee is developing an awareness program called “Care for Carmel”, asking
every golfer to take responsibility for proper care of the courses as they play. Other committees and
board members are also hearing about issues relating to courtesy at Carmel. A caring and courteous
respect for our facilities and for other members’ enjoyment needs to be an inherent part of the Carmel
experience.
What actions can you take to show you are part of the “Carmel Cares” community? Here are a few
areas of note:
Golf:
Pace of Play – Players must maintain pace with the group in front of them. If your group falls behind,
you must allow the group behind to play through. This is the rule.
Golf Course Care – All members are expected to the leave the course in better condition than they
found it. As necessary, this includes raking bunkers, filling divots and replacing ball marks. Please
always take the time to fix your own, and one other.
Practice – Rather than hitting multiple shots from the same spot on the golf course, members should
make use of the range for all practice.
Dress Code - Proper golf attire is mandatory for members and guests on the golf courses and all
practice areas. Tank tops, halter tops, tee shirts and cut-offs are not permitted. Shorts are permitted
providing they are no higher than four inches above the knee. Short shorts, gym shorts, tennis shorts,
swim attire, blue jean cut-offs, and denim attire are not permitted in golf areas. Golf shirts must be
tucked in. Golf caps must be worn with the brim facing directly forward. Golf shoes with soft spikes
or turf friendly shoes must be worn in golf areas.
Pool:
Towels - Members are responsible for the return of all towels issued to them, their children and
guardians and their guests. Towels are to be returned to the appropriate bins.
Seating - A key area for member satisfaction involves seating at the pool. Members may reserve chairs
for their children, and guests, but only while they are present in the Pool Complex. Saving chairs for
future arrivals is not permitted.
Trash - All trash should be disposed of in the trash cans and not left on the tables or poolside.
Child Supervision - All children under the age of 11 must be supervised by a guardian aged 14 or
older at all times while at the pool.

Carmeline
Clubhouse:
Dress Code – The following are not permitted in the Clubhouse: torn, tight, short and baggy clothing; bathing suits;
t-shirts; bare mid-sections; and untucked shirts (Tommy
Bahama Style Box Cut Shirts are permitted).
Child Supervision - Parents must supervise their children
(under the age of 13) on the Honors Terrace. The West Patio
is for ADULTS ONLY. Children are not permitted to run
on the golf course at any time. Children are NOT PERMITTED past the cart path unless they are playing golf. While
dining in the Grill or on the patio, please watch your children,
monitor their noise level (no screaming/shouting), and take
necessary steps to ensure they are not causing a disruption to
other members.
We should remember that while we are a family oriented club,
we should also respect the rights of other members to have a
peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy, and not ask them to contend with loud or disruptive behavior from adults or children
other than in appropriate areas such as the pool.
Tennis:
Reservation of courts - Please remember to reserve a court
prior to coming out to play.
Proper Attire - Appropriate tennis attire and shoes are required at all times (unacceptable clothing/shoes include: tank
tops or sleeveless shirts worn by men; cut-offs; swim wear;
jeans; running shoes; street shoes; deck type shoes; and sandals
or bare feet.)
Finally, please remember that all guests must be registered
before utilizing Club facilities.
In conclusion, we don’t want to ask staff to police our behavior. Instead, let’s take it upon ourselves as members to be part
of a caring community at Carmel by respecting each other’s
enjoyment of our Club. I also encourage you to discuss this
with fellow members, and encourage everyone in the Carmel
family to respect one another.
Thank you in advance for your attention to these rules and
your support of Carmel Country Club.

Dear Carmel Members:
It’s great to be on board as the new Clubhouse Manager here at Carmel.
I have joined the Carmel team after serving as Food & Beverage Director
at Memphis Country Club for the last 6 years, but I also bring 14 years of
private club experience to Carmel.
I believe my experience has provided me with excellent grounding to advance, promote and carry on Carmel’s tradition of excellence. The ongoing
pursuit of elevating service and amenities has me focusing on some areas
important to every member. Improving service in the Grill is a top priority
for me. My focus includes bringing in a new Grill Manager, establishing a
specific set of service standards for all wait staff, and making overall refinements to organization in the Grill and around all of our Food and Beverage services. Another area of focus for me will be staff training. We have
already begun assessing, redesigning, and developing new training material
and will begin implementing a very aggressive approach to retraining current and new staff over the coming months. Also, those who dine with us
in the Grill will begin to receive a short five question survey via email the
following day. It is my hope that, through your feedback, we will be able
to identify exactly what areas we need to advance and improve as well as
recognize what we already do successfully.
Another immediate priority is to increase the effectiveness around our banquet planning process. We’re working with a nationally recognized catering
consultant to assess and define opportunities to elevate our offerings in
this area, and also help apply these improved processes and innovations at
Carmel. This includes developing new banquet menus catered to specific
groups, along with reviewing all policies and procedures in our banquet and
event offerings.
Ultimately, my goals and priorities as Clubhouse Manager have the best
interests of you the member at heart. Please remember that one of the
most effective ways to improve your member experience is by providing
us with your input and opinions about Carmel. Filling out the comment
cards available on the Club’s website is the easiest and most direct way to
do just that. Those comments are shared with all relevant management and
leadership and help us continue in our Club-wide pursuit of excellence in
all areas.
Thank you to everyone I have met thus far for their very warm welcome. I
look forward to meeting and getting to know more of the membership over
the coming weeks and months. Please stop me anytime to say hello and
share any thoughts around the topics of improvement I address here, or any
other matters that are of interest to you regarding the Carmel clubhouse.
There’s a lot to be excited about at Carmel this summer. Hopefully you
will enjoy all your Club has to offer,
including lazy days poolside and leisurely
meals with family and friends in the Grill.

It’s All About SAT
If you can find the direction the (S)lope is running, the percentage of slope you are rolling the ball across and at what
(A)ngle you are rolling the ball across the slope, then you can
predict the break down to the inch. The rest relies on what we
call (T)ime. The time it takes the ball to roll to the hole which
is simply taught by finding your distance to the hole.
So Aimpoint is simply a ball location exercise that requires you
to find a few variables, plug them into a chart that will give an
answer as to where EXACTLY where to aim. The great thing
is that you can gather this information in less than 30 seconds.
I can show you in less than an hour how to develop these necessary skills and how to read the chart which will quickly help
you to make more putts inside of 20 feet and eliminate three
putts. How important is green reading to lowering your scores?
Come and find out by attending the next clinic ( I have at least
one every month) or taking a private lesson. As we say in the
Aimpoint family, stop guessing and come and learn to make
everything.

Girls Only Golf Clinic
"I was blown away by the turn out we had.
What an incredible group of bright, energetic
and talented girls that are eager to learn!
Their enthusiasm was the highlight of my
entire week and I can't wait to see where the
girls golf program goes from here!" ~ Perry
Swenson Livonius
First of all, I want to thank Perry for her
time and efforts in hosting this clinic. She was a gracious
host and very generous with the girls too: she posed for
professional portraits with them, gave them her personally
signed player cards, tossed autographed golf balls out to the
young ladies that asked questions; it was really fantastic. I
know the girls were very impressed with not only her playing ability, but her kindness as well.
I figured that we would have a good group together for Perry's class; but 50 girls!?! For me it was an encouraging sight.
I am sure now that Carmel has a significant group of young
ladies that will take an active role in a girls only golf program if it is available to them. I am excited to set up more
events where the girls have the chance to enjoy golf and each
other's company. I foresee a thriving girls golf program at
Carmel and will continue to support this group with activities, instruction and playing opportunities all summer long.

Junior Inter-Club
The Junior Inter-Club Team has once again completed its seeding for the top 16 spots to represent Carmel in the league matches. For those of you who don't know about the junior inter-club team, here is the
scoop.
Carmel's juniors are apart of a Junior Golf League comprised of 16 teams
from various private clubs in the Greater Charlotte Area that this year is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Their are four age divisions: 10 & Under, 11-12,
13-14, 15-18, and four juniors represent their club within each age division.
At Carmel this team has become so popular that we hold an extensive qualifying process involving seven different 9-hole rounds for the kids to come out and try their hand
at qualifying. This year the number of juniors has exploded - 60 juniors tried out for the coveted 16 spots on the Team! The
biggest increase has come from the 7-10 year olds, with a total of 25 kids in that group alone! Carmel has won the League
Championship the last two years and is hoping to make it three years in a row this Summer!
From Coach Adam Ohsberg, PGA - "For me it is a real privilage to Coach such an outstanding group of Juniors. I am always
so impressed by their focus, and competitiveness within even the youngest age groups. Beyond the competition though, it is
especially rewarding to see the juniors bonding with each other through golf. I love to see them remove their hats and shake
hands on the 9th green after their matches. This year I am creating highlight videos for the group with player interviews
immediately after their rounds; anything I can do to help the kids feel like big-leaguers! I feel confident about our chances in League this year. We would love to bring the Inter-Club Trophy home to
Carmel for a third consecutive year!!!"

Junior Clinics For The Fall
MINI STARS (ages 3 and 4)
Mondays and Wednesdays 2:15-2:45
August 27-October 24 $8.00 per clinic
Our goal with this introductory clinic is to make the court a fun
place to be! We will focus on tossing and catching drills, hand/
eye coordination and moving our feet. We will practice listening
to our coaches and introduce the idea of score keeping by catching the red foam balls. The juniors in this clinic will need a 19”
racquet in order to participate.
BRIGHT STARS (ages 5 and 6)
Mondays and Wednesdays 4:00-4:30
August 27-October 24 $8.00 per clinic
In this clinic the juniors will start to develop basic forehands,
backhands, volleys and serves while using the correct grips.
They will continue to work on movement, balance, agility and
hand eye coordination while beginning to understand about the
flight of the ball. The learning in this session is made easier and
more fun by continuing to use a variety of games while ensuring
each child’s success. The children will be using a red foam ball
and will be on a 36’ court and must have a 21” racquet to participate.
FUTURE STARS (ages 7-8)
Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30-5:15
August 27-October 24 $10.00 per clinic
Juniors in this clinic will be continuing to develop their forehands, backhands, volleys and serves and learning to execute
simple tactics. The development at this level allows for an
“all-court” game style with net play, but with a ¾ size court. Full
tennis rules begin to apply with no-ad games and shorter sets.
This group will be using the red quick start ball on the 36’ court
and they must have a 23” racquet in order to participate.
SHOOTING STARS (ages 9-10)
Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:00-5:00
August 28-October 25 $12.00 per clinic
In theses sessions, we are learning athletic skills required in
tennis combined with learning how to think quickly, listen and
work in a group. This level moves up to the orange ball and the
60’ size court and would use a 25” racquet in order to participate.
SUPER STARS (ages 11 and up)
Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:00-6:30
August 28-October 25 $17.00 per clinic
After “graduating” from the progressive tennis, the children in
this clinic will be fully developed to successfully use regular balls
and play on full size courts. Focus is primarily on tactical aspects
of the game mixed with technical development. Footwork, agility and strength development will also be incorporated.

Healthy Fitness Habits
Summer time is a great time to build up your fitness program, enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, take a vacation, and
have fun. The summer is a great time to play outdoor games,
garden, or walk. Active people are less likely than inactive
people to be obese or to have, diabetes, high blood pressure,
osteoporosis, coronary artery disease and stroke, depression,
colon cancer, and premature death.
Tips:
• Adults should get 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity most days of the week.
• Children and adolescents should participate in at least 60
minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity all days of
the week.
• Start at an easy pace and increase time and distance gradually.
• Prevent injuries by not “over doing it”
