CLUB MANAGER Good Afternoon Members, While the calendar says March, it still feels and looks like winter. We hope the weather changes quickly and we get to have an early spring! We continue to work on getting events scheduled, hiring and recruiting staff, and fixing and repairing items for the upcoming season. We know things are going to go quickly now that the calendar has changed to March. Before too long we are going to be talking about the golf course opening up for the year and welcoming everyone back. I know a lot of members have been utilizing the Troon Prive and Advantage programs this off-season which is great to see. Sometimes it is challenging to always get the exact day and time you are looking for but just a reminder, for most of the clubs being requested, this is their busy season, and they try to balance the requests as well as their memberships. I do appreciate your patience and understanding. I'm looking forward to kicking the upcoming season off very soon. Please keep an eye out for emails about the course opening for the season as well as other information about the upcoming season. As always, please feel free to reach out if there is anything that I can do for you. You can reach me at Christopher.thomas@oceanedge.com. Looking forward to seeing everyone back at the club. Take care and see you soon! Sincerely, Chris Thomas

advisory board
Welcome, all!! If you live on the Cape year-round you experienced a true blizzard a couple of weeks ago! I love a good storm and this one did not disappoint, the nice part about being on the Cape is the snow all but disappeared a week later. I am very pleased to announce a "changing of the guard" as it relates to your Advisory Board. After 5 years on the Board and 4 years chairing the same, I will be passing the baton to the very capable hands of Karen Lacouture who will take over this Spring. I would like to thank Gail Scudellari for her 4 years of tenure on the Board and for acting as ViceChair this past couple of years. Gail has done terrific work for all members and for our Club in general. Assuming her position as Vice-Chair will be Jill Cosgrove so your Board will have excellent leadership in place. In addition, I would like to thank Steve Lane and Eric Barber for their tenure on the Board. I would also like to welcome our new Advisory Board members as follows: Howard Curtin, Chris Scudellari, Candace White, and Peter Van Oot. I would also like to thank Bob Newman and Chris Thomas and the outstanding management team at Ocean Edge for the support they have given our Advisory Board. Their leadership and cooperation have helped our Board make substantial progress and improvements to our Club and resort. All the best, Craig Mance

FITNESS March Madness Challenges Here's a good challenge! Remove the temptation so you can work on making healthier choices and eating healthier. Clean out your fridge, pantry, and cupboards of any super tempting junk foods, then set yourself up for success by stocking up on healthy snacks! Here’s another one, for 7 days, drink NOTHING but water! No soda, coffee, alcohol, Crystal Lite, Gatorade, Propel. Zilch, zero, nada. Just straight H20. Most of us don't get enough plain water. The water-only challenge will help us hydrated, keep our skin feeling/looking great, and does our bodies good! Take the month of March to commit to setting a few health or fitness goals. It doesn't necessarily need to be weight loss or running a marathon. It can be as simple as drinking more water, getting more sleep, or stretching more. The point is to challenge yourself and above all, HAVE FUN! Break your goal down into weekly goals to help you be successful and ALWAYS celebrate the LITTLE WINS!!! Best of Luck, Heidi VanAmburgh
WELLNESS Quick "Corned" Beef & Cabbage
“Traditional corned beef & cabbage sure is tasty, but it's typically loaded with preservatives and sodium. In this healthy recipe makeover, we slash more than 2,300 mg of sodium with our quicker twist on the St. Patrick's Day classic. To get great flavor without the additives found in store-bought corned beef, we rub ground pickling spice onto steak instead.”
Ingredients:
2 tbsp pickling spice 1 tsp dry mustard 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp ground pepper, divided 1/2 small cabbage, cored & cut into wedges 8 small carrots, trimmed 2 cups halved baby potatoes 4 tbsp EVOO, divided 2 tbsp white vinegar 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish 1 tsp whole-grain mustard 1 pound skirt steak, trimmed
Directions: Step 1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit Step 2: Grind pickling spice in a clean spice grinder (or coffee grinder); transfer to a small bowl and combine with dry mustard, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss cabbage, carrots, and potatoes in a large bowl with half the spice mixture and 2 tablespoons of oil. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, dill, mustard, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Set the vinaigrette aside. Step 4: About 10 minutes before the vegetables are done, cut steak in half crosswise (if it's one long piece) and rub with the remaining spice mixture. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side for mediumrare. Let rest on a clean cutting board for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain. Step 5: Drizzle the roasted vegetables with the vinaigrette and serve with the steak. Tips: Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.
AGRONOMY As we turn the page to March, the agronomy team has been wrapping up tree work while dodging winter storms. After months of tree removal and pruning, we have been busy disposing of the debris. A wood chipper was rented to deal with branch debris that was created. Below you will see the chipper in action chipping the debris from a pine tree removal on the 1st hole. The larger debris that cannot be processed through the chipper is pictured below being hauled off the golf course.
The removals and pruning will bring great improvement to playability and safety throughout the course for the upcoming season and beyond. As the start of the season nears, we are completing the finishing touches to course accessories. Ball washers are pictured below receiving their final coat of paint, by our first assistant, Dan Feder, to give a refreshed look. We are hoping March weather will be kind to us as we start to prepare the property for opening day. We look forward to seeing golf balls in the air soon! Sincerely, Craig Sullivan
