Time for Some Summer Fun!
President’s Message
As we approach the midpoint of this year, I
thought it would be appropriate and helpful to
share where we are with regard to the Board’s
strategic objectives for 2015 which centered on
Governance, Strategic Planning, Membership and
Financial Sustainability. There is a tremendous
amount of positive energy and work in process
engaging the Board, our committees and our
staff on a wide range of programs to ensure the
long-term health and vitality of our Club. Some
Gail I. Bernstein of these programs are highly visible, such as the
Club President
refurbishment of our golf courses from brutal
winter conditions, but many other parts of our
work are not as tangible.
Club Governance
For example, at the beginning of the year,
the Board set out to realign the Club’s governance structure, develop an updated three-year
strategic plan and reexamine our mission statement.
With the hiring of Steve Matlaga as our General
Manager and Chief Operating Officer several
years ago, the Club began the transition from
a committee operating model that relied on
significant member leadership and involvement in day to day activities to a centralized
model that relies on the COO to run day-today operations with the Board providing oversight, and focsing on policy and and strategic
direction. We have made significant progress in
this transition, and earlier this year the Board
unanimously approved changes creating charters
for all Board committees, the addition of Governance and Compensation committees and other
modifications in our governance structure that
will help ensure a seamless transition in Board
leadership from year to year.

Strategic Planning
Page 2
In March, the Board, along with five of our past
Presidents, engaged in an all-day retreat to
discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats facing our Club, and to kick off the
Strategic Planning process. With thoughtful input
from many members, we adopted the following
mission statement, vision and core values:
Mission
To be the premier Country Club in the Triad by
providing a full range of outstanding dining,
recreational and social opportunities for our
members, their Families and Guests in exceptional
settings at both the Irving Park and Farm campuses.
Vision
Greensboro Country Club will be a welcoming,
respectful and inclusive Community of family
and friends enjoying a wide range of events and
activities in gracious, exceptional settings.
Core Values
Greensboro Country Club is committed to
•
Excellence
•
Respectful and Welcoming Environment
•
Responsible Governance
•
Financial Sustainability
•
Open and Transparent Communication
We intend to use these statements as our guide
in developing our updated Strategic Plan as well
as the shaping of our Master Plan. As a reminder,
the Master Plan is being developed using the
extensive input from our membership survey,
recommendations from the Long-Range Strategic
Planning Committee and other committees at the
Club as well as the expertise of industry-leading
consultants we engaged to support us in this
process. We are on track with our timetable to
bring plans and options to the membership later
this winter.
Club Membership
Maintaining a strong and vibrant membership
is only possible because of the extraordinary
volunteer efforts of the Membership Committee
as well as our other Club committees and the many
members who sponsor new members. As of midJune, we have brought in 30 new members including seven reinstatements this year. Our objective
is to have a year with positive net membership growth, and this can be achieved with your
support. To reflect the increased value of the Club
from numerous improvements that have been
made in recent years, the Board increased the
initiation fee to $30,000 effective May 1st. New
members contribute to the financial sustainability
of our Club and allow us to fund much needed
capital improvements.
Welcome New Members!
Financial Strength
I am also pleased to report that the financial health of
our Club is quite strong. This is largely due to the wise
leadership of our previous and current boards along with
our fiscally responsible COO/GM, his leadership team and
staff. The current operating forecast for the Club is ahead of
budget, capital expenditures are on budget and we continue
to focus on controlling expenses and exercising financial
discipline while creating positive experiences for you.
That said, we will make the investments that need to be
made. As I referenced earlier, both of our golf courses
experienced significant winter kill that damaged the courses.
The repair estimate is approximately $150,000. This cost
will be treated as a one-time expense outside of the
operating budget, with every effort being made to mitigate
the final cost as much as possible. The best way to help
defray the cost of the winter kill remediation is for our
members to play more golf for the balance of the year. Cart
and guest fees are important revenue sources for the Club
and exceeding our budget on both fronts will certainly help
reduce the financial impact of the repairs.
Moving forward, the Board remains committed to
executing our vision without sacrificing the quality and
standards that define our Club.
Respectfully,
Gail I. Bernstein
President

New Members!

It is essential that you, as a member and ambassador of
our Club, continue to help promote membership to your
friends, neighbors and business associates. To ensure that
the second half of 2015 is as strong as the first half of the
year, the Board has approved a special program from June
1st through December 31st. Any member who sponsors a
new member in this time period will receive a dues credit
(equal to the value of the new member’s dues) for three
months. Please contact Membership Director Brittany
Mitchell at [email protected] for details about
this program or to sponsor a new member.

"The Whole World
Is a Doughnut"
July | August 2015
June 24, 2015
Page 6
Welcome, summer! We are busy, busy,
busy and very thankful to be so! We deeply
appreciate you making the Club part of your
plans. In June we had increased pool, youth
and private event activity and the Donald Ross
Terrace is in full swing with members enjoying
this great outdoor venue. I am hopeful that
our communications (please make sure you
are signed up for Club e-mails, Facebook and
Instagram) convey the energy and passion
the team has for driving creative new events
and options for you and your family to enjoy
throughout the year. It was our pleasure to
see the record participation at the cardboard
boat regatta, glow golf campout and most
recently “The Whole World is a Doughnut.”
As you look through this newsletter we hope
the smiles we captured at those events
take you back to the fun and inspires you to
register for upcoming “new” events such as
Yappy Hour, The Donald Ross Terrace Pizza
Experience, All Sports Camp and more.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or other
staff if you have any great event or activity
ideas, as we are always striving to bring you
new and innovative events! Also, be sure to
participate in our “Summer Photo Contest” on
Facebook. Show us how you have fun around
the Club and you just may win a complimentary
dinner at the Club! Submit photos to [email protected] with a caption, and
we will post them on Facebook. Be sure to
visit our Facebook page and vote for your
favorite photo!
As our President Gail Bernstein summarized,
the Club is in a positive operational position
and we will continue to focus on member
participation growth with responsible
fiscal management. The staff and I have
implemented some new systems that will
modernize some of our processes and will
make us more efficient. We remain focused
on providing quality venues, activities and
services in a welcoming and friendly environment while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
In concert with the Board, who worked very
hard on a new Mission, Vision and Core
Value statements, the Senior leadership
team and I are now working on updating our
“Operational Mission and Vision” statements
to consistently deliver the Mission of GCC
at a high level. Our daily mission continues
to be to make you and your family fans of
our Club so you frequent the Club consistently, have positive experiences and in turn
have the confidence to bring guests and
sponsor new members. Thank you to all the
members who recently sponsored new
members and congratulations to all of our
new members on joining the GCC family.
As a result of your efforts, GCC is trending
towards a positive membership “net” this
year, so we hope that you consider sponsoring
new members as outlined in our new
Membership Incentive Program. If you would
like more information regarding this program
and if you would like to sponsor a new member, please contact Brittany Mitchell at (336)
275-8506 or [email protected].
July brings positive exposure for our Club in
the community at large as we host the “101st
Carolina Amateur Championship” at the
Farm Course (July 9th - 12th). During that
same time frame, our Blue Dolphins will be
competing in City Meet (July 9th - 11th)
chasing not only a City Swim Championship,
but also striving to make history for Swim for
Cancer. The Blue Dolphins and our generous
GCC Members and staff have worked hard
this year in hopes of reaching a 27-year total
donation to the American Cancer Society of
$1 million. Stay tuned - this is going to be a
great summer!

large berries that are used to make a very
dark red wine that, when subjected to extended skin contact during fermentation, is
full of fruit flavor and low in tannins.

The Tournament Season
is Upon Us!
The President’s Cup at the end of
July, chaired by Ryan Gioffre, is slated
again to be one of the best events
of the season. This event always has
a full field, so if you are not entered

Thursday Stag night kicks off the festivities with the team
flighting. Also, a new event has been added to the program
this year - a Friday afternoon two-man team event at the
Irving Park course that begins at 5:00 p.m.
Topping the teams were Stanhope Johnson (a recent
junior in our programs) and Ben Rightsell who posted a low
gross score of 64 for a tie with Mike Murray Jr. and Thomas
Mayes. A tiebreaker was a chip-off between the two juniors
and Ben Rightsell executed a deft pitch to snare the winners
trophy.
In the net division, Bob Hudson and Andrew Plate tied at
net 64 with Scott Neff and Dawson McAlhaney. Dawson
represented the team for the chip-off and produced a solid
chip to within eight feet to a difficult hole position for his
team to win the champion trophy.
The Annual Parent-Child Championship will be played on
Saturday, July 18th at the Farm course. The format will
be a two-person team with a parent-child combination.
Competition is gross and net overall and gross and net

The Outlaws Had Fun!
In the words of Stephen Curtis Chapman, “saddle up your
horses, we’ve got a trail to blaze!” This saying took on some
new meaning as the Ladies Member-Guest kicked off with
our lady pro on horseback riding up the practice range to
give the morning “proclamations.” The group enjoyed a
great day of golf at the Farm followed by their second surprise - line dancing lessons! The ladies were good sports
and filled the dance floor! The second day again the popular
shamble format was played over the Farm layout.
Handcrafted local pottery was awarded for team prizes and
feature prizes. The 2015 Ladies Member-Guest Champions
were Laurie Watson, Nicole Johnson, Robin Tosco and Donna Pratt. Net honors by one shot went to Sunny Lawson,
Sally McElwee, Laura Norman and Harriet Long. Our returning friend, now as a guest, Mary Bee Petot, joined Buff Perry
and hosts Mary Carol Danahy and Sharon Hicks for second
net. The posse of Becky Campbell, Lynette Batton, Rosie
and Judy Powell were third A memorable event indeed!
Thanks to our event committee: Becky Campbell, Denise
Collins, Kris Flynt, Sharon Hicks, Rosie Powell and Robin
Tosco.
Turf Talk
The Summer of 2015
Once the extent of the
winter kill damage was
clearly apparent, plans
were quickly made to deal
with this issue. The Board
of Directors and ManageWinter Kill Area
ment have once again
demonstrated their commitment to the golf program
by allocating expenditures above the normal operating
budget for a reasonable approach for repairing damage.
What we mean by a “reasonable approach” is that repairs
will not take place instantly. To implement an expedited
repair program would require extremely large funding
measures to allow for contractors to be brought onsite and all the repairs to be accomplished via sod. Our
plan involves bringing on additional seasonal laborers to
do the vast majority of repairs in-house, sodding small
areas not conducive to sprigs and sprigging large areas
where sod is cost prohibitive. While this plan will take
longer to accomplish it is ultimately designed to have an
acceptable impact on the Club’s bottom line while taking
into consideration the expectations of the membership
and the overall playability of our two courses.
We closed down the Irving Park course in June to plant
sprigs throughout damaged areas on a large number
of the fairways. Due
to a prior agreement
with the Carolinas Golf
Association, the Club is
hosting the 2015 Carolinas
Amateur in July. Our sprig
date at Irving Park was
Hand Spreading Sprigs
scheduled at the earliest possible time to allow for the
course to be re-opened when the Farm course is shut
down for the tournament. While this short period will
not be near what is needed to show improvement in
some areas, it should be enough time to begin drying
these areas out so that they are traversable.
The driving range and chipping fairway at the Farm will
also be closed down for similar sprigging repairs on the
Monday following the Carolinas Amateur (July 13th). We
would expect this area to be closed for a similar three
to four week period while we try and establish the new
Bermudagrass. All the areas at both the Irving Park
course and the Farm range will be sprigged with the
newest and most cold hardy variety of Bermudagrass,
which goes by the name of Latitude 36. This grass has
been in the marketplace for several years and performed
better than 419 Bermuda this past winter at courses as
far north as the Mid-Atlantic.
While the winter kill of 2014-15 will dominate much of
the discussion this year and it will be a measuring point
for how well superintendents can turn around their
properties, it will be important not to lose focus on all the
other day-to-day work that will be required of the team
to make sure the course is in the best possible condition
despite all the repair work that will be going on. We
sincerely thank all of the members for their patience
while we are making repairs to the courses and
experience closures from time-to-time. The recovery of
the course, the safety issues and overall experience of
the members will be worth it once we are finished.
The entire team appreciates your support and
understanding as we work hard to return the course to
conditions that are commensurate with Greensboro
Country Club.
Doug Lowe, CGCS
Director of Golf Course & Grounds Maintenance
July | August 2015
The summer of 2015 looks to be a
very busy season for the Golf Course
Maintenance team both here and at
most of the surrounding courses.
Mother Nature has dealt golf
courses in our area a bad hand, but
in my business, when you play with
Mother Nature over a long period of
time a few bad hands are surely to be expected.

Aquatics
Can you believe July is
already here? Many thanks
to all the kids and parents
who came out Memorial Day
Weekend, and participated
in our 3rd Annual Cardboard Boat Regatta. In case you missed it, the “SS Trainor,”
crewed by Lily Jones and Caroline Garrison, blew away the
competition with a winning time of 21.81 seconds! This
was by far our biggest race, with 18 cardboard boats and
a total of 50 crew members. We had teams that were all
about team spirit, matching uniforms and theme boats.
Of course we had several boats that could not quite make
it across the pool, but “Candy Canoe” powered by Anne
Kaplan and Reagan Neff took home the “Titanic” award for
the most spectacular sinking. Their boat sunk immediately
to the bottom of the pool before they ever shoved off.
We hope to see even more duct tape, bigger and crazier
designs, and outrageous costumes in 2016.
Looking ahead to the last few months of the season, we
hope for continued safety and success at both pools.
As always, see you at the pool!

The GCC Blue Dolphins are in the midst of another exciting
swim team season under new Head Coach Katie McNerney.
Coach Katie has had a positive experience as head coach,
and would like to thank our families and swimmers for
helping make the transition an easy one. Throughout the
season, our swim team family has come together to face
the competitive challenges of the sport, and embrace the
camaraderie of all the swimmers and parents that come
together to carry on the Blue Dolphin tradition. Coach Katie
has been welcomed into the Blue Dolphin Family, and as a
team, we will continue to strive for success both in and out
of the water, create positive experiences, better ourselves
as swimmers, and build bonds with fellow teammates that
will last a lifetime.
Championship Time
The Blue Dolphins are preparing for another City Meet
Championship on July 9th, 10th and 11th which will be
held at the venerable Greensboro Aquatic Center. The Blue
Dolphin family will bring a phenomenal season to a close,
and once again give performances in the pool that are
worthy of any championship final. Blue Dolphins, this is our
season, let’s have fun and make it the best yet!
Immediately following the closing ceremonies on the final
day of City Meet Championships, all Blue Dolphin swimmers and families are invited to the Irving Park Pool for our
traditional Blue Dolphin Championship Night Swim! The
pool will be open to Blue Dolphin Swimmers only starting
at 8:00 p.m. All coaches will be on deck to celebrate our
season, with food, fun, night swimming and much more!
