C LUB M ESSAGES
PRESIDENT ’ S M ESSAGE
As you know from previous communications, a tremendous amount of time and
effort has been spent over the last several
months developing detailed plans for all
areas of your Club. At the annual
Shareholders Meeting in November,
Shareholders approved the final phase of
upgrades to the Clubhouse. The Mixed
Grill improvements are currently in
process and should be ready for business
in mid-February. Then the next (and
final!) piece of Clubhouse improvements
will commence with the Garden Room
and Patio.
The Long Range Planning Committee has
also recommended improvements to the
Golf Course, Tennis Facilities, Swimming
Pool Area and Parking Lot. A lot of work
has gone into understanding the best
course of actions for these areas. As is the
case in most significant projects, the more
you get into the details the more complicated the solutions become. This is certainly the case for the aforementioned
projects. At one point your Board envisioned coming to the Shareholders with a
recommendation for all of these projects at
one time. The Board is now proposing
that the vote on the projects be broken
down to smaller pieces. The primary reason is that while we have a detailed plan
and budget for the Golf Course improvements we are still studying the proper
course of action on the other areas. Given
our limited land footprint these other areas
present challenges that the golf course
improvements do not. Thus, the Board
will call a Special Shareholder Meeting on
March 26th to formally propose the golf
course improvements only for Shareholder
vote.
Generally, these improvements include a
new irrigation system (our current system
is 25 years old and in bad shape) and modifications to the Golf Course as recommended by Coore & Crenshaw. Detailed
plans will be made available shortly and we
will schedule a Town Hall Meeting so all
Members can share their comments and
questions. The budget for this project is
$4.5mm to be funded by bank debt and the
Board is recommending an increase in the
Capital Charge of $50/month for
Stockholders and lesser amounts for other
Membership categories to service this debt.
Again, more details to follow on this.

MANAGER’S MESSAGE
One day it is 50°F, the next 75°F...is it winter or is it spring? Who can
decide, but we are gearing up for the spring and summer months. First,
a quick project activity update.
When you read this, the Grill Room remodeling will be almost
complete, as it was scheduled to be in mid-February. Again, thank
you for your patience and amazing support and participation during construction times. The next phase will be the Garden Room
and Family Patio, which we hope will be completed in May.
The finishing touches to the recently completed Board Room and
Formal Entrance are in progress. Much of this involves furnishing,
lighting, art and area rugs. To finish out these spaces, both restrooms
at the Formal Entrance are also being converted to a similar
color/décor scheme.
I should mention a food service issue that was discussed in the last
House Committee meeting. Indeed, as you may have experienced
it yourself on Thursday and Friday nights, food service can sometimes be slow. At the meeting, a long discussion took place after
it was explained that many Members were making reservations for
large groups in the Grill Room. Although it is a good thing to be
busy, large groups ordering off the menu are creating service issues
for the rest of the Membership. Because Lakewood Country Club
cooks everything from scratch, plating small tables can be done
efficiently, while plating large tables uses lots of space and time.
This results in many Members, seated after large tables, receiving
slower service. Many opinions were expressed and the idea of limiting the size of groups to ten (10) for ordering off the menu is
being considered. Parties larger than ten (10) would be offered a
limited menu and possibly a private room.
Resurfacing of the Tennis Courts began in early January. The work is
being phased to allow courts to remain in play through the entire
process. Weather permitting, the work will be completed at the end of
February.
Back to February…this year Valentine’s Day is on Thursday and
the Wine Room will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the
celebration. When in the Wine Room, if you are not sure what
wine to order, here is a suggestion.
The Mixed Grill is moving along nicely with a completion date scheduled during the third week of February. The project entails a complete
renovation of this space: new ceilings, custom made light fixtures, paint,
wall covering, fire place stone, carpeting, chairs and window treatments.
The Garden Room and Family Dining Terrace remodeling approved at
last Novembers’ Annual Shareholders Meeting will begin a day or two
after the Mixed Grill is back in operation. The completion date has
been scheduled for the first two weeks in May.
Before we know it, summer will be here. There are several cosmetic
improvements planned for the Swimming Pool area. These will be
completed well in advance of the mid-May opening. The annual
Summer Youth Program booklet is in the planning stages and will be
in your hands by the end of February. With the popularity of these programs, you are urged to complete registration forms early to ensure your
preferred dates.
The 2013 Golf and Tennis activity calendars have been finalized.
Please log onto the Club’s website to view these and related information. Additionally Golf and Tennis information is communicated electronically on a weekly basis. Each week Gilbert communicates golf
news - “Tee Off From Your Inbox” via email. Adrien does the same
with his “Weekly Tennis Bulletin”. If you are not a recipient of this
email, but would like to be, please email your requests to D’Ann Garza
at [email protected].
At the November Annual Shareholding Meeting, Mike Plummer was
recognized for twenty-five years of outstanding service to the Club. On
January 12, Mike was also honored by his peers, the North Texas Golf
Course Superintendents Association, for the 2012 Distinguished
Service Award. Several Club Members and former protégés of Mike
were in attendance. Congratulations to Mike on a well deserved award!
For the sixth consecutive year, the Club’s Wine Program has been recognized by the International Wine Society of the Club Managers
Association of America with an Award of Distinction. It gives us great
pride to be paired with some of the nation’s most recognized Clubs and
one of just three in Texas. Kudos to our Wine Committee led by Chris
Kurzner. A special “Thank You” to Melanie Ofenloch for her time in
making initial contact with many of our Wine Owner/ Maker hosts.
Last and certainly not least, cheers to the Membership for embracing
the wine program.

LWGA – L ADIES ’ G OLF N EWS
This month’s newsletter is the start of a series based on events that
occurred and my own memories of them over the last twenty-five years.
Hopefully I can keep it interesting and my memory will serve me correctly. There certainly have been plenty of occurrences, events, happenings,
etc. in my mind to fill several Lakewooder articles.
The Lakewood Women’s Golf Association will kick off their 2013
golf season on Thursday, March 7th. We will begin with breakfast
at 8:30am, followed by our Annual Business Meeting at 9:00am.
At 10:15am, we will get the real season going with our fun
Shotgun Scramble.
Before starting this first one, I would like to thank all of the Members at
Lakewood for allowing me to serve as steward over this great property. A
long overdue thanks goes out to the deceased Green Chairman Ed Bentley
and his search committee that hired me. Long time Member, Ray
Holcomb, was a part of that committee. Paul Alloway, though no longer
a Member still visits some and was on that committee. I think Ed Jarrett
is still around but the others have passed. Also, a special thanks to all the
Greens Chairmen, Clubhouse Managers, and General Managers that I
have reported to. Lastly, a thanks goes to all Assistant Superintendents
and Staff that have made me look good. Twenty- five years out of the
Club’s one- hundred years should be plenty to fill a few Lakewooder’s.
Come join us for the 2013 Season of golf with the ladies at
Lakewood. We promise that you will enjoy great camaraderie, terrific events, and lots of golf. Beginner
or seasoned golfer, there is something for everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!
This first article is about the small plane that
crash-landed on number ten fairway one night.
It has been nearly twenty years now! Hard to
believe? No, just hard to believe that It has been
that many years. I looked back on my daily
records that I have always kept and discovered
that it was August 3, 1994. I lived at the
“Greenkeeper’s house” with my family. Raised
three children right here on the Golf Course.
Already asleep and was wakened by emergency
sirens at about 11:00pm. Little Elaine, the
Club’s evening receptionist even called the
house. MaryBeth Shapiro joked with me later
that she had to make Elaine call me that night
because she did not want to disturb. MaryBeth
told her it would be alright. A small Cessna 140
had crashed on number ten fairway. Police,
ambulance, fire engine, vans, trucks, media were
everywhere! I heard that the two on board were
not hurt and were basically able to walk away.
The next day started early. The small plane was
still there and would be for awhile. The FAA
had to investigate the crash. I recommended to
close the hole for the safety of investigators and
others involved. Not our die-hard golfers! We
just played around the crash scene. By 4:30pm
the investigation was completed and the small
plane was hauled out on a flatbed wrecker.
There had been very little damage to the
Course. The plane had caught some pretty substantial limbs about one- hundred yards out from
the green in the right rough. The tree needed a
little pruning, but is still growing strong. There
was some damaged turf from the fuel leaking out
of the plane, but no trenches or torn- up ground.
I have included a little of an article that was
published in the Dallas Morning News about the
forced landing.

PLANE MAKES FORCED LANDING ON COUNTRY CLUB GOLF COURSE
Author: Todd Bensman, Jody Sowell; Staff Writers of The Dallas Morning News
—————————————————————————
The nighttime stillness of the golf fairways
at Lakewood Country Club was disrupted
late Wednesday when a small airplane
with engine trouble made an emergency
landing near the 10th hole and smashed
into a tree, Dallas firefighters said.
Neither of the Cessna 140’s two unidentified passengers was hurt, and firefighters
marveled at the pilot’s skill — or luck —
in avoiding the golf course’s large trees,
groomed hills and fences. The plane’s
apparently faulty single engine was jarred
loose by the impact.
“They sure picked a good spot,” said
Battalion Chief Michael Jones. “It’s amazing they were able to land in the dark.”
The plane came down about 10:45 p.m.
after it developed engine trouble and the
pilot put out a distress call, Chief Jones said.
Both occupants of the crumpled tan-andwhite craft were withholding their
accounts of the incident from local
authorities until Federal Aviation
Administration investigators arrived.
Their names, starting point and destination were unavailable early Thursday.
But a police helicopter apparently followed the plane as it circled the golf
course at about 100 feet and then glided
in from west to east, witnesses and officials said. It was unclear whether the helicopter crew helped guide the pilot.
Dr. Albert Hendler was swimming in the
pool at his home across the street from the
country club when the plane went down.
He said he saw the plane and helicopter in
the air, then noticed that the plane’s
engine was no longer running.
“There was absolutely no engine,” Dr.
Hendler said. “It was just the eerie two
lights you could see.”
He described the sound of impact as “relatively soft,” like a car accident.
The pilot “missed the clubhouse by maybe
200 yards.”
Neighbors and golf lovers were attracted
to the wrecked craft and stood around in
small groups cracking jokes.
One golfer who said he was a regular on
the Lakewood fairways asked, “Why’d
they try to land on number 10? That’s a
low-handicapped hole.”

SWING FROM THE PRO
The North Texas Golf Course Superintendents Annual Awards
banquet was held in January and it was a pleasure to see Lakewood’s
Mike Plummer receive the award for Distinguished Service. This
was a great tribute to Mike to be recognized by his peers for his stellar career as a Golf Course Superintendent. Mike has been at
Lakewood for 25 years and I certainly believe we would not be where
we are as a Club without Mike’s influence. Believe me that MP is truly
respected by all his peers and we are fortunate to have him taking care of
our Golf Course. Give him a tip of the cap next time you see him.

February is the big month for new equipment to hit the Golf Shop.
fiancé Donna Aymond
February 8th is the national release day for the new Nike Covert driver.
Touted as the first high speed cavity back driver which produces faster, longer shots off a wider area of the
face. It also has the only adjustability system that allows you to choose loft and face angle independently.
Look for demos and new inventory on February 8th. The new TaylorMade drivers are here now. We have
demos in both the new R1 and the RocketBalz Stage 2 as well as the custom fit cart for the new RocketBladz
irons. Other new equipment that you will see here includes the Ping G25, the next generation of the G
series in woods and irons. Also the best looking drivers, fairways and hybrids from Adams yet, the Super S.
We are working on demo days from all our club companies. Here is the list so far, Nike March 14th from
3pm to 7pm and April 20th from 12pm to 4pm, TaylorMade March 21st from 4pm to 7pm and April
25th from 4pm to 7pm, Ping March 15 from 3 to 6, Callaway March 22 2 to 6 and April 18 3 to 7, and
Adams March 28 3 to 7 and April 27th from 10am to 3pm. All companies will have launch monitors
and their new 2013 equipment on hand.
The tournament season begins at Lakewood in March beginning with the Men’s Putting Championship
on Friday, March 1st. The event is both individual and two man team. You can choose your own partner and we divide the field into flights based on handicaps. All 18 greens are used. The $55 entry
includes prizes and pizza and beer after play. Putting begins at 2:00pm with a shotgun start.
The next event is the Kick-Off Shamble on Saturday, March 16, 9:00am shotgun start. You can form
your own team for this net, shamble event that gets our golf season going. All players with established
handicaps are eligible; women, men and juniors. If you do not want to form your own team just contact the Golf Shop and we will pair you. There will be a cook-out after play at the scoreboard. This is
always a fun day so do not miss out! Entry for both events is available at our ForeTees website.
We are looking forward to a great year of golf and activities at LCC. The complete schedule is now posted on both websites, www.lakewoodcc.com and www.gilbertfreeman.com. Our annual move to the cart
paths will take place in January. Carts will be restricted to the paths at all times until sometime in the
spring. Players who are age 70 and over are exempt from this rule except in wet conditions. We do
require that those players ride together in groups that contain players who are under 70. Those players
also must obey the lollipops and cart signs. This rule also changes the fivesome policy requiring that all
must ride. When carts are on the paths, fivesomes may walk. We are certain that keeping the carts off
the dormant fairways not only improves winter golf but helps our turf to come back
to life in the spring. We appreciate your cooperation.
• YELLOW RANGE BALLS – We changed to yellow Nike range balls in
January as you may have noticed. We thought it would be good to experiment
with yellow primarily due to our range and #1 fairway being so close together. We
all know how difficult it can be to find any white golf ball hit left on #1. Yellow
range balls should really help. Let us know your thoughts in the weeks ahead.
• FORE TEES ONLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM – We believe you are all
becoming familiar with and enjoying the new system. If you have yet to give it
a try just go to the Lakewood website, www.lakewoodcc.com and click on the
Fore Tees tab. Your log-in is your LCC account number and your password is
your last name. If you have any questions or problems or to get more info to connect with your mobile device, give the Golf Shop a call.
See you on the course!

Dear LCC Tennis Players and fans,
Happy New Year, everyone!
COURT UPDATE:
Even though we have been operating with just three courts, while the other three
were being worked on, we are optimistic for a great spring here at the Club.
The crew is working whenever the weather permits (which has not been often
enough), and the resurfacing material on courts 1 and 2 is looking great.

way of running the 2013 Men’s and Women’s Doubles Club
Championships. We will have an unprecendented THREE divisions
for each gender! There will be a Championship flight, a First Flight
and a Second Flight.
Matches will be independently scheduled each week in April, culminating during the weekend of April 27th and 28th with all of the
semifinals and finals. It will be a nice party on the deck the whole
time, and that weekend all of the players will receive embroidered
tournament apparel. The champions’ and runner-up’s prizes are
going to be absolutely fantastic.
Entry fee: $75 per player. The sign-up deadline is March 23rd. We
hope everyone plans to join the fun!
• May 17th...
Another really cool new spin on the
Mixed Doubles events we have traditionally had is the May 17th Beer Pong
Mixer. This one will feature ping pong
scoring and alternating shots on the actual tennis courts, targets on the courts, actual table tennis on the deck and as always, lots
of fun times on the deck. We will take sign-ups for
that in March and April.
