THE VUE FROM THE GREENS
A busy April is in the books and the Greens department has battled the weather while playing catch-up to prepare for the season. We
took advantage of a dry window during the first week of the month to aerify greens and they are progressing nicely as the season approaches.
Time and weather constraints prevented us from pulling cores on tees
and approaches, instead we solid tined both playing surfaces followed by
a coating of sand. Phase 2 of the intermediate and collar project was completed during
the middle of the month that will drastically improve the playability and aesthetics of our
green surrounds. In addition to projects and cultural practices, the staff has been busy
with mulching, mowing and focusing on details.
April showers bring May flowers and I am excited to announce the addition of a new
horticulturist and a revamped horticulture crew. Carly-Jean Schaefer will start following
graduation from Penn State in early May. Carly brings a wealth of experience along with
an energetic attitude to the team that will create a fresh outlook to the beds and landscape
throughout the property. The possibilities do not end there. Carly also has a strong background with teaching and outreach that will create a new level of interaction with the membership through events.
As May settles in, so does the start of the season. Number five green will open
during the first week along with all the tee projects completed this past March. The staff
will continue to put focus on mulching and prepping beds in anticipation of our annual flower plantings during the middle of the month. We will also settle into our everyday maintenance routine in providing the conditions that each of you have grown accustomed to. As
always, we look forward to seeing you on the course!
Fairways and Dreams,
Josh A. Saunders and The Greens Staff
J. K. ELLIS MEMORIAL MEMBER/MEMBER MATCH PLAY TOURNAMENT

GOLF TIPS FROM THE PROS BY DEREK DEJIDAS , PGA PROFESSIONAL
Launch the Ball Higher for Added Distance
You may step up to the tee of a par 5 reachable in two shots or a longer
par 4 and feel that a few extra yards off the tee will give you a better
chance of scoring on the hole. Or maybe you are between clubs on an
approach shot and you feel more comfortable swinging the shorter club.
Instead of attempting to swing harder or faster to increase your club
head speed and distance, make an effort to swing with the same rhythm
and tempo as you normally do, except simply try to hit the ball higher.
With a driver, launching the ball one-half of a degree higher while maintaining the same spin rate will yield an additional 5 to 15 yards depending on your ball speed. And here is how to do it:
First, you have to make a few minor adjustments with your setup. Stand a tiny bit closer to
the ball and move the ball slightly forward from its normal position. As you swing make an
effort to keep your head behind the ball and your trail arm swing underneath, or lower than,
your lead arm through impact. This will help you launch the ball higher and give you the
few extra yards you are looking for.
To launch the ball higher,
start by setting up with the
ball slightly forward of center
of your stance.
As you swing through impact,
attempt to keep your head
behind the ball. This will allow the club to have more
dynamic loft.
Keeping the trail arm underneath, or lower than the lead
arm through impact will aid in
attaining a higher launch angle on the shot.

Derek, please call the Longue Vue Club Golf Professional Shop at (412) 793-2375.

2015 CADDIE PROGRAM AND POLICIES
Caddies:
In order to preserve and encourage the tradition that caddies bring to the game of golf and to enhance the Longue Vue
golfing experience, the Golf Committee and the Pro Shop staff intend to provide a core group of caddies for our members
and guests. If you decide to walk while playing, you must take a caddie during the following times:
Weekends: Must use a caddie, if available, until 11:00 am
Weekdays: Must use a caddie, if available, between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm
Members under age 30 may walk and carry their bag at all times, except in club events
In addition, recommended compensation rates will be posted in the Pro Shop.
Forecaddie Policy:
The Golf Committee feels strongly that walking is an integral part of the game of golf. Because of this and in an effort to
speed up pace of play, the Golf Committee has instituted the following policy regarding forecaddies for the 2015 season:
On Fridays from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from the first tee time until 11:00 am, if a caddie is
available, it is mandatory that a foursome take a caddie as a forecaddie (runner). In doing so, those in the group will
have their respective cart fees reduced by $5 each, and each golfer in the foursome is expected to pay the forecaddie at
least the recommended pay scale, which will be posted in the Pro Shop.
Caddie Reservation Procedure:
If you would like to reserve a caddie, please call the Pro Shop when you make your tee time. Our staff will be happy to
coordinate arrangements for you with one of the caddies. Please be sure to indicate the number of golfers in your group
when calling and the time that you are planning to tee off.

THE VUE FROM VINEYARD AND TABLE
Greetings everyone!
Although it doesn’t seem like almost summer yet, summer happenings
are not that far away. I toured the front nine of the golf course the other
day with Tod and I can honestly say that it looks fantastic and I look forward to playing soon, if Tod ever gives me a day off.
We are fresh off of our First Vine Club meeting as well as a very successful “Tasting of Rhone Wine Dinner” this past Friday evening. The
theme and region for our November 6th wine dinner will be chosen by Chris Evans. His name
was drawn from the recent wine dinner to pick the region, taste and plan the Fall wine event.
This should be interesting, please if you see Mr. Evans, let him know your thoughts, or better
yet, tell Mrs. Evans.
The next Vine Club Meeting is set for Thursday May 14th and we will be meeting on the Pink
Terrace. This meeting will be focused on the Franciscan Estate Winery in Napa Valley, CA.
There are still spots available in our club if anyone is interested.
We also have our first complimentary Friday Night Wine Sampling happening on Friday, May
29th in the Grill Room starting at 6PM. This is open for anyone dining at the club that evening
on any terrace or room. We are looking forward to this as well as the three others planned for
this season. Milko Mlidanov from Winebow will be featuring wines from southern Italy.
The summer beers are starting to roll in as we have just tapped the first Sam Summer Ale of
the season in the Janssen Room today. I do look forward to having my first Summer Ale after
the last table leaves tonight. We will have a variety of summer beers both on tap in the
Janssen Room and Men’s Grill as well as a variety at the pool.
I hope to see everyone at our Men’s Member/Guest Golf Event on the 21 st as well as the Mahalo Mixer that evening. Both events are new this year
and I hope that they are successful enough to hold for
many years to come.
Make sure to check your calendars for all of the traditional events as well as the numerous new ones we
have this year in the clubhouse as well as on the golf
course and pool.
I look forward to seeing you at the next great event!
Tim Mink
Director of Food and Beverage
Members and guests enjoy a Taste of Rhone
at the April 24 Wine Dinner.

2015 SWIMMING LESONS AT LVC
Group swimming lessons will be offered for 5 weeks beginning on Monday, June 15th and will end
on Thursday, July 16th. Please see the schedule below for more information on specific dates and
times. In order to accommodate the varying ability of swimmers, two different group levels will be
offered and are described below. Private lessons will also be available throughout the summer.
Tadpole Group This group is designed for children 3-6 years of age who are not yet comfortable in
the water and/or cannot perform basic swimming skills such as floating, treading water, streamline
kicking, and blowing bubbles through the nose underwater. These skills are the focus of the Tadpole Group. Lessons for this group will run from 11:15am-11:45am, Monday through Thursday.
Guppy Group This group is designed for children 5 -8 years of age who are comfortable in the water and can perform basic swimming skills such as floating, treading water, and alternating arm
strokes. Swimmers in this group will learn how to improve these skills as well as become more proficient at streamline kicking, competitive freestyle, and proper breathing techniques. Lessons for this
group will run from 11:45am-12:15pm, Monday through Thursday.
Parent and Child Group This group is designed to familiarize children between the ages of 6
months and approximately 3 years with the water and to teach swimming readiness skills. These
lessons also provide safety information and teaching techniques parents can use to orient their children to the water. Children in this group must be at least 6 months old and accompanied by a
parent or adult during each lesson. Lessons for this group will run from 12:15pm-12:45pm.
These lessons will only be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Private Lessons Private lessons will be available for those interested in having one on one instruction. All private lessons need to be scheduled through the Pool Manager, Dan Taylor.
