President’s Message —by Chris Burns

Hard to believe

we are only a few

weeks away from the

change of seasons in

Henderson County.

September also

marks a period of

change at our Club as your board of

directors elects officers for the upcoming

year. I feel very honored and humbled

to have been elected your president for

the next year. Also elected to officer

terms were: John Coker, Vice President,

Jimmy Chandler, Treasurer and Tom

Cooper, Secretary. This was an extra

special board meeting as Craig DeJong

and his team hosted us at a cookout at

the maintenance facility. Huge thanks

to Craig and his staff for making us feel

so welcome and serving up a fantastic

grilled dinner, to boot! This meeting

was even more special for me as my

term started in the very building where

by father, Johnny Burns, served HCC as

golf course superintendent from 1965

– 1969… just long enough for me to

become a native of Hendersonville before

we moved to Charlotte Country Club.

I think I speak for the entire Membership

in thanking Steve Johnson for his

untiring work as President over the past

year and in completing his second three-

year term on the board. Steve is a great

friend to me personally and to our Club.

Although Steve’s humor and wisdom will

be missed, we are very fortunate that his

older brother Henry was elected at our

August Annual meeting. Also join me in

thanking all of our Members who served

on committees over the past 12 months.

Your gifts of talent and time are crucial to

all that happens here. Over the coming

week or so, new and renewed appointees

for committee chairs and committee

members will be made.

Lastly, please take a minute to think

about a neighbor, friend or associate who

would make a great addition to our Club,

and invite them to golf, tennis or dinner.

New members are the lifeline for keeping

the Club active with low dues. Until

next month, I’ll see you around the Club!

Managers Message —by Anthony Chelena

October is the best

time of the year

to enjoy golf. The

weather is great and

the golf course is in top

condition. But the days

are shorter, so you have

to get out earlier in the afternoons. Get out

and enjoy another round of golf!

How does Hendersonville Country Club

have so many Clubhouse Memberships?

Anytime I am talking with managers of

other clubs they ask me that question.

While Clubhouse Memberships are

offered at almost all country clubs, they

rarely make up a meaningful number

of memberships. Our Club has 346

Clubhouse Members and it is the fastest

growing segment of our membership from

new Members. While golf memberships

have declined here and nationally in recent

years, Clubhouse memberships have held

steady and increased. 346 Clubhouse

memberships! This is more than the total

of all memberships at other area clubs.

But don’t think for a second we are ready

to sell the golf course; we have 541 Golf

memberships. Golf is still king and the

primary reason there is a Club. We also have

176 Clubhouse/Pool/Tennis memberships-

another great number. We are a large Club

and we are glad to have all of you.

We are looking for beginning women tennis

players from our membership and next

spring we are putting forth a new initiative

to find the tennis player within you. Do you

want to become a tennis player? Would 12

free lessons help? Would it help if we put

you in a group with other beginning players

and made a regular appointment for you

to play? That is what we are going to do.

Tennis is fun and is great exercise. We can

take a true beginner and make you a real

tennis player next year, but it will require a

little commitment from you. Details will be

available in January, so think about it and

be ready to let the Tennis Shop know you

are interested.

We had 78 people to play or donate and were able to raise $1470.00 for this cause. Thank you all for your generosity.

NOTICE!November is just around the corner and that means winter hours for the golf shop and golf course will move forward one hour. Effective Saturday, November 1st the golf shop will open at 8:00am with the first tee time starting at 9:00am. The range will open at 8:00am and close 1 hour before sunset.

SMGA —by Dick DuRose

The SMGA’s Fall Tournament is on October

10th. It’s a Shamble. Everyone tees off from

the gold tees, chooses the best drive and

plays their own ball from there. For those

of us who are normally short off the tee, it’s

fun to take advantage of a long hitter’s drive

for a change. The $45 entry fee includes

a full breakfast, the cart fee, and a buffet

lunch at the Clubhouse. Do the math. This

is a great deal. The first four teams will be

awarded prizes, as will the closest to the pin

winners on all four par threes.

To enter, just sign your name on the entry

form in the locker room or fill out your

entry form on the SMGA website. All you

need to do is enter, and the computer will

put you with a foursome. There have been

about 85 of us who have played in at least

one SMGA event this year. All of us should

make an effort to play in this fun event.

Golf News—by Ben Balentine

Fall is in the air and

our 2014 tournament

season is coming to a

close with only a few

events remaining in

October. The Fall Member – Member will

be played on October 4th & 5th, followed

by the VanArsdale Cup on October 11th

& 12th, with the Saturday’s round being

played at H.C.C. The SMGA closing lunch

will be held on October 10th

Arrival of the fall apparel has begun. This

year we have added several new lines to our

selection. Drop by and see what we have

new for fall of 2014.

We request that anyone who has Club

towels and/or range bags and balls please

return them to the golf shop. Our supplies

are running low and we would appreciate

your help. It has also been brought to my

attention by numerous Members that ball

marks are not being fixed and sand traps

are not being raked. Please be aware where

your ball lands on the green and while

fixing your ball mark, please find one more

and repair it and remember to rake all your

footprints and place the rake inside the

trap.

PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR BALL OUT OF THE HOLE USING THE CLUB HEAD OF YOUR PUTTER OR ANY CLUB. THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE HOLE. WE HAVE A DEVICE IN THE GOLF SHOP THAT FITS ON THE END OF YOUR PUTTER THAT IS MADE FOR BALL RETRIEVAL.

Just a reminder on how to play the out of

bounds on holes #3, #4, #5,# 9 and #16.

The scorecard states that out of bounds is

defined by white stakes and/or fences. On

hole 3 there are white stakes approximately

6 inches beyond the fence which mark out

of bounds, therefore, the fence is played as

an immovable obstruction and you may

take free relief , stance plus one club length

no closer to the hole. On hole 5 fences

behind the green and to the far right of the

green, and on #4 fences to the left of the

fairway and green have white stakes beyond

them. The procedure of play is the same as

hole 3.

As you all know, the driving range is played

as out of bounds for safety reasons. In order

to speed up play there is a local rule if the

ball comes to rest out of bounds, you must

drop the ball within two club lengths of

where the ball crossed the out of bounds

with a penalty of one shot. This comes into

play off of #9 and #16 tees. If you should

need further explanation please contact the

golf shop.

Grounds —by Craig DeJong

Personally, I feel that

October is one of

the best months to

play golf. Cool crisp

mornings are followed

by warm sunny

afternoons, and the

golf course and fall

foliage seems to get better each day.

The days are getting shorter, too. We

are fortunate that all of our mowing

equipment is equipped with headlights,

and all of our staff members are given

headlamps. This allows us to continue our

normal start time, 6:00am, in the dark, as

the days get shorter and shorter. Working

in the dark is an entirely different

experience and safety is our biggest

concern, we stress its importance daily.

This month we also wind up the Club’s

tournament schedule with the Fall

Member/Member and the Van Arsdale

Cup.

Aerification of the greens is also scheduled

for Monday, October 13th. The original

calendar date was Monday, October

27th, but the Green Committee decided

to move up the date to allow a couple

extra weeks for the greens to heal prior

to colder weather setting in. This falls

aerification will not be a core aerification

as we have done in the past. Dry ject is a

cultural practice that we typically perform

in the spring immediately following our

core aerification. This fall, due to unique

circumstances, we moved dry jecting from

the spring to the fall. The dry ject uses

high-pressure water and air to inject sand

up to 6” deep into the cavity of the green.

The major benefit to this process is less

surface disturbance resulting in quicker

healing. I must stress that dry jecting in

the fall, in lieu of core aerification, is not

going to become our normal fall routine.

Core aerification physically removes

organic material from the greens, dry

jecting does not. It is absolutely necessary

to physically remove organic material at

least twice a year.

I could write multiple paragraphs about

maintaining healthy greens, but my space

is limited. Feel free to stop by or contact

me if you have any further questions.

WGA 18-Hole —by Sandy Sessoms

The Women Helping Women Pink

Ball Tournament was played on August

12th. There were several teams who

won; but the biggest winner was the

Pardee Hospital Foundation’s Women

Helping Women fund that received

a check from a combined donation

effort of the 18-holers and the 9-holers.

The check totaled $1670! Pictured

below are the two chairladies standing

on either side of Joyce Jones, 9-hole

president. Jane Hendrix on the left

organized the 18-holers; and Betsy

Schwind on the right organized the

9-holers. Thanks to all who supported

this great cause.

The final two events in August were

a Step-aside Scramble, and Mystery

Partners. Many winners enjoyed those

events. September’s first event gave us

the chance to “cry” and throw out one

par 3, one par 4, and one par 5. Then

the next week we were able to depend

on our partner when we messed

up in a Member-Member shot gun

tournament.

Western Carolina members played

at Cliffs Valley CC on August 14th

producing one flight winner, Lillian

Warren. Play will be at Green Valley CC

on September 16th. Watch for the sign-

up of our final two-day tournament of

the season on October 15th and 16th at

Cleveland CC.

Finally, our Inter Club at CC of

Asheville was such a success for our

ladies that we are now in contention to

win at our home course on September

18th. Go team!!

Golf Tips —by Jay King

Playing out of wet bunkers can be challenging

because after learning how to get out of a

bunker with normal dry sand, we attempt to

use the same technique on wet sand and this

does not work. A bunker will get firmer due

to rain or early morning dew. The firmer sand

condition causes the bounce of your wedge at impact to “jump”

through and take less sand. When you are challenged with hitting a

bunker shot from a firm wet sand condition, try to set up in a way

to get the wedge to dig into and through the sand. You will need

to play the ball position more back in your stance without opening

your clubface. Your hands may be slightly pressed forward in your

set up to allow for the leading edge of your wedge to dig into the

sand. Hitting a bunker shot from firm sand will cause the ball to

come out further as you will make more contact with the ball on

the face of the club (due to less sand between clubface and ball). To

help with this we will need to swing with a slower tempo than our

normal bunker shot. Take a practice swing in the air above the ball

and sand using the tempo and speed you normally would from this

distance. Now try to repeat the swing with a slower tempo. Take

20% off from the practice swing. With practice you will get more

comfortable determining the firmness of the sand when you take

your stance and be able to adjust your shot accordingly.
