Spring 2016

Late last season I played the best round of golf that I

can remember in a very long time. When sharing my score with

friends, I found myself saying that I shot an “84” but scored an

eight on one hole and three-putted four greens! Looking back

on what was indeed a glorious round of golf for me, it dawned

on me that what I seem to recall most from that round were

the “misses” that I had – and that is a shame. Why is it that the

chip in off the green, the long par saving putt, and the recovery

shot out of the rough are overshadowed by the one ball hit out

of bounds and the missed three-footers? It seems far more

appropriate and far more enjoyable to remember those shots

that truly defined the round.

The Misses As we enter into the 2016 golf

season, set aside your score and

be sure not to miss how our

Superintendent, Craig Mencl and

his staff have coordinated once again

with Mother Nature to provide

you with some absolutely stunning

views. Where spring offers some

incredible flowering trees that

line our fairways and envelop the

18th green, and summer provides

beautiful blossoms throughout the course; the fall promises to

be even more colorful. Before teeing off on the 2nd tee, take

a moment to check out the spectrum of seasonal colors that

line the fairways and reflect off the ponds. Those wild flower

areas that somehow lure our golf balls from the fairway on the

12th hole are chameleon-like in how they change colors before

succumbing to winter. As you finish putting out on 16, turn

back to the 15th green - it’s a sight to behold. Finally, although

the adage in golf is to keep your head down, be sure to find the

occasion to look up at the crisp blue skies and the hues of the

setting sun. Let the 2016 season be defined not by your “misses”

but instead by the beauty that you chose not to miss. Doug

We Remember

A Tribute to KellyBasking Ridge Country Club is noted for its family-friendly environment and its camaraderie amongst members. Over the past 25 years, one individual has stood out as the “face” of Basking Ridge Country Club – Kelly Pantone. Committed to her family and dedicated to the club and its membership, Kelly diligently worked to insure that each and every member enjoyed their experiences at the club. Kelly took great pleasure in connecting members with other members and providing the entire membership with club events that create lasting memories. We lost Kelly to cancer this past fall and although the “face” of Basking Ridge Country Club may change, the heart and soul of Kelly Pantone will remain within all who have been privileged to say “Kelly Pantone was my friend”.There will be a memorial planting for Kelly – details to follow.

The competitive Thursday 18-Hole and the Sunday 18-Hole Leagues are aimed at the more competitive golfer. The Sunday League was created for women who usually cannot play during the week, and welcomes all members with weekend privileges. We do offer a fit for Sunday beginners.

We hope you consider at least one of the leagues. If interested, please fill out and send in the application located on the “Members Section” of the club website.

Course News from our

Greens Superintendant Craig Mencl

Course Reviews . . .The Stimpmeter, is often misused to compare the speed of greens from course to course and unfortunately, to establish a benchmark of putting difficulty. Golfers are sometimes heard to say, “Hey, Hickory Hills was ‘stimping’ 13 last week.” This essentially means that the greens

were as fast as the linoleum on most kitchen floors. However, this quest for fast greens has serious consequences in terms of cost, environmental quality and the long-term health of the green. In short, speed can kill. Here’s why:

Fast greens are extremely fragile. Their “immune systems” can be very weak. They become susceptible to diseases and pests, and therefore may require more chemical treatments. Weather can also quickly destroy the health of an ultrafast green. High temperatures and lack of moisture in the air are deadly to greens that are maintained at very short cutting heights for any length of time.

The risks of maintaining fast greens -- even with the best professional management by superintendents -- were apparent in the summer of 1995 when golf courses across the eastern United States lost greens during an extended period of drought and high temperatures. Many of the world’s best-known courses suffered serious damage and were essentially unplayable for the last half of the year. Many of these had to be reseeded or completely rebuilt at a cost that was high in terms of budget, playability and reputation.

On the other side, golfers should understand and accept the limitations of these living systems we call greens. Golfers should have an understanding of superintendents who manage, nurture and protect these ecosystems. And finally, many golfers must change their attitudes about the competitive aspect of green speeds. They should strive for fairness, not fastness.

As your Superintendent my staff and I have implemented several new practices to maintain the highest quality greens of fairness and fastness that we can provide to our membership. Your enjoyment always weighs heavily on our minds as we look forward to another enjoyable Golf Season.

From Outside the Membership

First time playing the course and I have to say I was

very impressed. Conditions were beautiful and course

was very challenging. I felt like I was on the PGA Tour.

After our round we ate at the outdoor bar area. Service

was great and the food was very good. I very much

appreciated the invite and hope to play there again

next season. I would highly recommend a membership

to those in the area. —B.C.

What a great club! The staff was extremely

accommodating and helpful. The golf course was in

phenomenal shape for the beginning of April, and was

tough but fair to play. I was forced to use every club in

the bag, shape shots both ways, and the greens rolled

fast and true. My kind of course! —J.W.

I recently had the opportunity to play at Basking Ridge

Country Club and was quite impressed. The course was

scenic and in immaculate condition with lush fairways

and meticulously groomed greens. The 18 holes were

challenging yet fair, and was enjoyed by golfers of all

levels in our foursome.

The staff was friendly and eager to assist us, adding to

the overall experience.

With the restaurant, DH Outpost onsite, we were able

to enjoy drinks and food following our round. I highly

recommend Basking Ridge Country Club. —W. F.

Pro’s Corner News Tom & Sue Delaney

PACE of PLAYWhat makes a slow group slow? Is it that one person who takes eons to hit their shot that slows down the group? Does it happen when one or more players loose their ball on the same hole? Could a person watch an entire round of the Masters in the time it takes a slow group to leave the putting green? While the answer to these questions may seemingly be a “yes”, every golfer must keep in mind his/her responsibility to the group and the field of players around them. Even if you don’t think it’s you – you are part of a group. The USGA Rule Book states “It is a group’s responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole and it is delaying the group behind, it should invite the group behind to play through.”

Interestingly, most groups’ slow play is not in their fairway play, but in the time it takes the group to get off the tees and greens. The teeing ground is a great place to play “Ready Golf ” which simply means that each golfer within the group hits when they are ready. Golfers who ride in carts are particularly slow with this. Some groups have been seen to take 3-4 minutes after arriving at the tee before a single shot is hit! You can fill out your scorecard or take a bite of your sandwich after you hit your shot.

The putting green is another area where groups get slow. Out of politeness we wait for the person furthest away to hit their shot. This is fine and part of the game, but at the same time each player should have completely figured out their putt and be ready to execute as soon as possible. Try to follow this rule of thumb, if someone isn’t hitting their putt or about to, then you are loosing the pace of the game. There is a rhythm to this movement that makes it enjoyable for everyone, including the group behind you!

In an effort to go out and have a friendly round we often avoid confrontation and are unwilling to speak up and say to one or all of our group members “could we please speed up?” This is nothing to take personal; tempo is a part of the game and can actually help you to perform at your best. Just think, if each player recognized his/her role in the group pace of play would never have to be an issue.
