CLUB UPDATE A NOTE FROM YOUR GENERAL MANAGER As I recently walked into my daughter's second grade open house, I found myself wondering how in the world did we get here so fast. The start of a new school year is always exciting, but it is also a little bittersweet. We're looking forward to everything the fall will bring, but at the same time, it is hard to say goodbye to such a great summer. That moment made me reflect on the wonderful summer we've shared together here at Sedgefield Country Club. Looking back, it's hard not to smile. Many of my favorite memories from the summer weren't just with my own family, but watching so many of yours enjoy the club together. Thank you to every member and every family who chose to spend your summer with us. The pool was full of energy, our celebrations brought people together, and our swim team gave us plenty to cheer about. Our camps were another tremendous success, and it was a joy watching so many of our young members learn, play and grow together. Throughout the summer, they had opportunities to explore golf, tennis, pickleball and so much more. A very special thank you goes to Nicole Thompson and her team for leading that effort and making sure our camp weeks ran smoothly. And to all of our parents, thank you for trusting us with your children and allowing our team to be part of their summer memories. The fun certainly didn't stop with camps and the pool. Greenside Cafe was buzzing with friends catching up after a round, families gathering for dinner, and our Live After 5 evenings gave everyone another reason to spend time together at the club. It was also great to see members enjoying the new pool bar throughout the summer. Those moments - sharing a meal, listening to live music, relaxing by the pool or simply catching up with friends - are an important part of what makes Sedgefield more than just a place to play. They are part of what makes this club feel like home. On the golf side, I want to recognize Chad Cromer and our golf course maintenance team for the incredible pride and dedication they bring to the course every day. The course looked amazing throughout an incredibly busy summer, and their work was on full display during our biggest week of the year. I also want to thank Eric Ferguson and the golf operations team for helping coordinate the many activities and events on the course this summer. What they manage behind the scenes is tremendous. Watching the golf shop transition from normal member operations to the demands of the Wyndham Championship, and then turn right around and transition back to serving our membership, is an impressive undertaking. Their professionalism and attention to detail help ensure that our members and guests receive the experience they expect from Sedgefield. Of course, no summer at Sedgefield would be complete without the Wyndham Championship. Once again, our Sedgefield members and fellow McConnell Golf members showed up in tremendous numbers. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces filling the stands, walking the course and enjoying the tournament. I also loved seeing the homes surrounding the course filled with neighbors, families and friends enjoying the week together. That atmosphere is a huge part of what makes this tournament special and what makes hosting it at Sedgefield so unique. We are extremely excited about what the future holds for professional golf at Sedgefield. Raymond James will become the new title sponsor of the tournament, and the PGA TOUR has committed to continuing to hold the event here at Sedgefield Country Club through 2031. Next year's tournament will remain part of the TOUR's regular schedule, and beginning in 2028, Sedgefield will move into the PGA TOUR's Championship Series. That opportunity represents an exciting new chapter for our club and our golf course, with the Championship Series designed to feature the TOUR's top players and a select group of premier events. There will certainly be a great deal of work taking place over the next couple of years as we prepare the course and the club for that next level. There are still details to work through, and we will share more information as those plans develop. We hope to have additional updates for you as we move through late 2026 and into early 2027. What we do know is that there is a strong path forward for this tournament to continue calling Sedgefield home, and it is a tremendous honor for all of us to play a part in continuing the legacy of this legendary club and golf course. I also want to congratulate this year's champion, Michael Brennan, a Wake Forest University graduate. His victory gives us back-to-back Wake Forest alumni champions following Cameron Young's win last year. Congratulations to Michael on an outstanding week and on adding his name to the long list of champions who have lifted the trophy at Sedgefield. As we turn the page to fall, there is still plenty happening around the club. The pool will close for the season beginning September 14th, so I encourage everyone to get out and enjoy it while you can. We also have our Club Championship in September, followed by another One-Day Member-Guest in October. Dining on the Courts with Pierce and our Fall Festival are also part of the October calendar, giving us plenty of opportunities to enjoy the club together as the weather begins to cool.

CLUB UPDATE A NOTE FROM YOUR GENERAL MANAGER And, of course, October 17th will bring one of the biggest celebrations of our Centennial year: the Centennial Gala. We want to pack the club with our membership and celebrate this incredible milestone together. The evening will have a Roaring Twenties feel, with entertainment, music, great food, great drinks and plenty of fun surprises in store. Invitations are already in the mail, so please follow the directions on your invitation to officially RSVP. One hundred years of Sedgefield is something worth celebrating, and I hope you'll be there with us for what should be a truly memorable evening. Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year. It gives us a chance to spend more time outside with family and friends, and it brings some of the best golf weather we'll enjoy all year. And then, of course, there's football. College football and the NFL have a way of bringing people together, whether it's a fantasy football draft with friends, a Sunday spent watching the games with family, or a Saturday tailgate celebrating your school and all the traditions that come with it. I'll be cheering hard for my Gamecocks this fall, but I know our membership represents universities and professional teams from all over. I wish all of your teams good luck this season. And no matter what the final record says, school pride doesn't have to fade when the scoreboard isn't cooperating. The pride I have in being a Gamecock is something I carry with me, and in many ways, I feel that same sense of pride in being part of the team here at Sedgefield and in helping shape the future of this club. Finally, I want to thank our entire staff for the tremendous job they did throughout the summer and especially during the Wyndham Championship. I also want to thank each of you for your continued support, your trust and the energy you bring to Sedgefield. We are excited about where this club is headed and about everything still to come. As always, if there is anything our team can do to make your experience at the club even better, please let us know. It is our privilege to serve you.

A NOTE FROM YOUR DIRECTOR OF CATERING As we head into an exciting fall season, there is so much to look forward to at Sedgefield Country Club and The Cardinal by Pete Dye! With golf outings, club events, seasonal celebrations, and plenty of opportunities to gather with family, friends, and colleagues, we are excited for everything the coming months have in store.

When you host your event at Sedgefield or The Cardinal, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your guests while our experienced team takes care of the details from start to finish.

With a beautiful setting, exceptional hospitality, and a dedicated team behind you, Sedgefield and The Cardinal are ready to make your next event one to remember.

FOOD & BEVERAGE A NOTE FROM YOUR DINING SERVICES MANAGER As another busy summer begins to wind down, there is still plenty happening within Food & Beverage at Sedgefield. Over the coming weeks, members will begin seeing several new and refreshed menus throughout the Club, along with some exciting events as we continue celebrating our Centennial Year. Our culinary and beverage teams have been working hard behind the scenes on new menus for the Main Dining Room, Red Fox on Wednesdays, Greenside Café, Red Fox Cocktail Menu, and Wine Menu. We are excited to introduce some new options while continuing to offer many of the favorites our membership has come to enjoy. Keep an eye out as these menus begin making their way into the different dining areas around the Club. September will also bring several exciting events. One that I am particularly looking forward to is our Wine Indulgence Dinner featuring Chappellet Wines. These dinners continue to be a great opportunity to experience exceptional wines alongside a menu specifically designed by our culinary team to complement them. We also have our Chef's Competition scheduled for September, which should make for another fun evening and give our culinary team an opportunity to showcase their creativity and talent. Be sure to watch Club communications for additional details and registration information as these events get closer. Our newly formed Sedgefield Select Bourbon Society is also beginning to take shape. The highly anticipated Stagg Jr. Sedgefield 100th Anniversary bottle will soon be arriving at the Club for the members who joined the Society and reserved a bottle. We are also expecting our Old Forester private selection to arrive before the conclusion of our Centennial Year. I am excited to continue developing the Bourbon Society and creating new opportunities and experiences for our members who share an appreciation for great bourbon. I also want to thank everyone for the tremendous support of our newly formatted Thursday Family Night Buffets. The response has been wonderful, and it has been great seeing members and families enjoying Thursday evenings together at the Club. We want to continue keeping these nights fun and interesting, so if there is a particular theme, cuisine, or buffet you would like to see, please send your ideas my way. While we may not be able to incorporate every suggestion, I always enjoy having new ideas to work with as we plan future Family Nights. As always, I encourage our membership to continue communicating with me about your Food & Beverage experiences. Whether it is something you enjoyed, an idea you would like us to consider, or something you feel we could have handled better, I want to hear it. Your feedback allows me to address issues when they arise, but just as importantly, it gives me the opportunity to recognize members of our team when they have provided an exceptional experience. Finally, I want to thank our membership for the continued support you have shown our entire Food & Beverage team. We have had an incredibly busy year, and your participation, feedback, patience, and enthusiasm for what we are doing continue to help us improve. There is still plenty ahead as we continue through Sedgefield's Centennial Year, and I look forward to seeing everyone around the Club.

SEDGEFIELD COUNTRY CLUB SECURES PLACE IN PGA TOUR’S NEW CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES One of the PGA TOUR’s longest-running relationships will continue into a new era as Sedgefield Country Club remains home to Greensboro’s PGA TOUR event. Beginning in 2028, the tournament will become part of the new PGA TOUR Championship Series, with Raymond James serving as title sponsor. The event will be contested as a full-field PGA TOUR event in 2027 before transitioning to the Championship Series. Founded in 1938 as the Greater Greensboro Open, the tournament has been won by legends including Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, with Sedgefield hosting the event more than 40 times. After a 31-year absence, the PGA TOUR returned to Sedgefield in 2008 following the restoration of its Donald Rossdesigned course, and McConnell Golf acquired the club in 2011. The announcement ensures Sedgefield will remain on one of golf’s biggest stages as the PGA TOUR enters its next era. In 2028, the Greensboro event will celebrate its 90th anniversary, bringing its remarkable history full circle.

MEMBER-GUEST MAGIC A HOLE-IN-ONE STORY

At 68, longtime Sedgefield Country Club member Hank Reaves celebrated a once-in-a-lifetime moment during this year’s Centennial Member-Guest: his first hole-in-one. A club member for a decade, Reaves built a home near Sedgefield in 2018 in anticipation of retirement and to enjoy club life. Before that, he spent his career in global sales, most recently as Vice President of Global Sales for Ecolab. He’s played in many Member-Guest tournaments over the years, but nothing compared to what happened on Hole No. 3 this year. Reaves was playing alongside his son-in-law Jerrad Stewart, George Wyatt, and Jason Niell when he stepped up to a 128-yard, partially blind shot with his pitching wedge. “I knew I hit it good,” Reaves recalled, but when the group above the green began shouting that the ball had gone in, he initially refused to believe it. The confirmation brought instant elation: he called his wife and she shared the news with his five daughters, son-in laws, and grandchildren. The family is expecting a 13th grandchild, and three of his sons-in-laws are now eager to play in future member-guest events — one of them even drove in from Raleigh for the centennial Member-Guest tournament. “It’s my first hole-in-one at 68,” Reaves said. “Besides my family, it’s the best thing I have ever experienced.” The excitement didn’t stop there: Henry Glenn recorded a hole-in-one five minutes later on hole #12 in the same event, a remarkable coincidence — about 17 billion to one odds. Eric Ferguson, Director of Golf shared; “What a way for us to cap off our Centennial Member-Guest. I was so happy to get the phone call from playing competitor George Wyatt that Hank had made a Hole-in-One. It was his first ever Hole-in-One and he was beyond excited and so was all of the staff. I printed signs out for the party and placed them at the bars for everyone to see. The response from every person that saw the sign was “Mr. Reaves made a Hole-in-One? Congratulations, we are so happy for him!” Then 5 minutes after that, one of our assistant golf professionals witnessed Kirk Patterson’s guest Henry Glenn make one as well on Hole #12. Chances of this scenario are 17 billion to 1. Beyond the hole-in-one, Reaves praised the club and tournament organizers for the Centennial Member-Guest’s atmosphere and execution. He singled out Eric, Craig, and the Golf Staff team — tournament leaders — for arranging a smoothly run event that accommodated a large field. “If you need rain, have a member-guest here,” he quipped, adding that the course was in outstanding condition and the staff worked hard to make it a memorable experience. Reaves also shared a few other highlights from his member-guest experience besides the hole-in-one. He truly loves the friendships made during member-guests each year, and looks forward to seeing guests that played in years past - “it’s like a reunion.” When asked what advice he’d offer other members hoping to make their mark in future Member-Guest events, Reaves was simple and candid: “Don’t give up. You just never know. No strategy — hit your best shot like you do every time.“ For Reaves, the day will be remembered not just as another tournament round but as the moment that transformed years of play into an unforgettable milestone shared with family and friends at the club he calls home.

SUPERINTENDENT’S CORNER A NOTE FROM YOUR SEDGEFIELD SUPERINTENDENT We are coming off the heels of a very successful Wyndham Championship, where Michael Brennan was crowned champion. Thanks to the cooperation of Mother Nature, the golf course played firm and fast for most of the week, with just over a half inch of rain falling during the event. The weeks leading up to the tournament, however, told a much different story. In July alone, we received just over 10 inches of rain—the most we have seen in quite some time. While the excessive rainfall certainly made tournament preparations challenging, it also produced some of the healthiest and thickest rough we have seen for the Championship. Players and caddies alike shared very positive feedback on both the course conditions and overall presentation. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to those members who went out of their way to thank our staff during tournament week. Your kind words and support truly meant a great deal to our entire team. Tournament week requires an incredible amount of hard work and long hours from our staff, and it is always appreciated when those efforts are recognized. We are also sad to see the title sponsorship change after this year. It has been a tremendous privilege to partner with Wyndham for the past 20 years, and we are grateful for everything they have meant to the Championship and Sedgefield Country Club. At the same time, we are excited to welcome Raymond James as the new title sponsor and look forward to the future of the tournament and the positive changes and opportunities that lie ahead. As we transition into fall, the turf throughout the property is in excellent condition. Tournament structures should be mostly removed by the time you are reading this, and in the coming weeks we will begin repairing any damaged areas with new sod. As we enter September, we will also begin gradually raising mowing heights across the golf course to prepare the bermudagrass for cooler weather. This is a vital part of our agronomic plan, as it helps strengthen the turf before dormancy and provides additional protection from cart and foot traffic during the winter months, when recovery is limited. Our light topdressing program on the greens will continue through September. On September 14, we will also aerify the greens using small needle tines to ensure they enter the winter months as healthy as possible. This process causes minimal disruption, and ball roll typically returns to normal within just a day or two. With summer winding down, the crisp, cool mornings ahead bring some of the very best golfing weather of the year. The course is in excellent condition, and I hope you will have an opportunity to get out and enjoy it in the weeks ahead. Thank you, as always, for your support of our agronomy team. We look forward to seeing you on the course.

Sincerely, Chad Cromer Golf Course Superintendent

SUPERINTENDENT’S CORNER A NOTE FROM YOUR CARDINAL SUPERINTENDENT I am sure by now everyone is aware that I will be moving on from The Cardinal and going to Providence CC in Charlotte. While I am excited for next chapter for my family and me, it feels a little bitter sweet. The membership here has always made me feel so welcomed and appreciated, and for that I want to say, Thank you! While The Cardinal has its unique challenges, I have loved being the caretaker of this property over the last six years. My plan is to be around The Cardinal a few days a week through the end of September to help out for a bit while they are searching for the next superintendent. I hope the best for The Cardinal, and will always do what I can to help make this place great. Now on to some course news – We made the decision in mid-August to change from our typical plan (which is to pull a core during the August aerification) to using a solid tine that only pokes a hole without removing any material. The reason for this is to minimize any added stress to already stressed greens. A typical core aerification can be very abrasive to the greens, due to all of the sand being drug around. This is not something that we will do every year, but I do feel it is the best thing to do this year. I would like to make you aware of a few things that you may notice as we head into fall and start preparing the course for winter. As we get into September, we will start to raise the height of cut on tees, fairways, and green surrounds. This is done to make sure we have enough material on these surfaces to handle all of the winter traffic. Raising the height of cut on all short-cut areas also helps to insulate from cold temperatures in the winter which can help to prevent winter kill. Also, in September we will be putting out a fall fertility application on all shortcut and high traffic areas to ensure that these areas go into dormancy as healthy as possible. Be sure to come out and enjoy lots of great golf this fall and hopefully some great fall weather. I hope to be able to say goodbye to most of you in person. Please come visit Providence CC; I would love to see some familiar faces!

Sincerely, Ross Jernigan Golf Course Superintendent

TEE IT UP AT SEDGEFIELD A NOTE FROM YOUR DIRECTOR OF GOLF Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall What a great end to an incredible summer! Hopefully you and your family had the opportunity to attend the Wyndham Championship and enjoy another outstanding week at Sedgefield. The golf course was in fantastic condition, and despite the warm temperatures, we were fortunate to avoid significant weather interruptions throughout the tournament. This year’s championship delivered an exciting finish as Wake Forest alumnus Michael Brennan outlasted Beau Hossler to capture his second career victory. It was another memorable week that showcased our club, our staff, and our membership on a national stage. As we transition into the fall season, we are excited about the many events and activities still ahead. Football season is just around the corner, and in my opinion, fall is the best time of year to play golf in North Carolina—at least when you’re not cheering on your favorite team! We also hope you will join us in mid-October as we celebrate Sedgefield’s Centennial, a milestone that promises to be a truly special occasion for our membership. Thank you for your continued support of Sedgefield Country Club. We look forward to seeing you at the club in the coming months.

Ferg’s Fixes By Lou Stagner What is a Solid Drive? You have probably heard me talk about fairway percentage as not the most useful stat out there. I put together a new stat: “Solid Drive Percent”.

What did I label as a “solid drive”? It is a tee shot (with driver) that finishes within at least 30 yards of your median driver distance AND within 20 yards of the center of the fairway (that's a 40-yard-wide window). Let’s say your median distance with driver is 230 yards. A “solid drive” would need to travel at least 200 yards AND be within 20 yards of the center of the fairway. There will be “some” drives in this sample that you didn’t hit all that great. Not your best swing or best contact but it went mostly straight and kind of far enough for it not to be a horrible shot. I pulled Arccos driver data and split players into five handicap groups (0, 5, 10, 15, 20). Inside each group I ranked everyone by driving distance and pulled out the shortest 10%, the longest 10%, and the middle of the pack for each handicap group. Then I asked one question: what percent of their drives were solid? Table below has all the details.

Cost | $60 per class. Includeds class & a free drink while we recap on the Greenside Cafe patio.

Read down any column and the story is the same. In EVERY handicap group, the shortest hitters hit the most solid drives and the longest hitters hit the fewest. Some of this is just geometry though. That 40-yard window is the same width whether you carry it 180 or 270. But a two-degree push at 270 yards finishes farther offline than the same two degrees at 180 yards. Look at the 10 index players. The shortest 10 index players average about 190 yards off the tee and 61% of their drives are “solid”. The longest 10 index players average about 260 yards and 41% of their drives are “solid”. Same handicap. Same skill level. A 20-point gap in solid drives. The longest hitters at every handicap give up between 11 and 23 percentage points of solid drives to the shortest. The better the player, the smaller that penalty (the 0 index pays 11, the 20 index pays 23). But it never goes away. (One caveat: this doesn't account for wind or course conditions.) My Thoughts

Remaining Prize Fund Weekend Dates September |19-20 October | 24-25

SEDGEFIELD TIMES

None of this means give up distance. The long hitters at each handicap level still hit it 70+ yards past the shortest hitters, and that distance is worh a lot, and I'm not telling anyone to leave the driver in the bag. You can use the table above to benchmark your own game. Figure out where you fall on that table and start tracking the percent of “solid” drives you hit.

TEE IT UP AT THE CARDINAL A NOTE FROM YOUR DIRECTOR OF GOLF What a summer! We are winding down our summer golf season with some serious heat in our rearview mirror. No only was the temperature boiling for most of the season, the action on the golf course and around the club was just as hot. The Cardinal is on a heater once again this year as we have welcomed another 41 families, so far, to the Cardinal community. Our little family is continuing to grow leaps and bounds and we couldn’t thank you enough to everyone for their support. Whether you have been around the Cardinal for 50 years or 50 days, we love seeing you around the club and having you as a part of our family. The Cardinal is a special place, as one member put it, and I couldn’t agree more. We are going to continue to grow because of the members like you and the community you all help to create. Thank you. This summer’s events showcased a club filled with excitement, energy, and tremendous support from our membership—and that should not go unnoticed. First, our Red, White & Blue Tournament was a complete sellout, with 116 players teeing it up for a fun day of golf and camaraderie. Second, our annual Parent/Child Tournament welcomed more than 60 players. A healthy club is one filled with families and juniors, and The Cardinal certainly has both. The Cardinal has become known throughout the area for having some of the best junior golfers playing out of our club. With the number of young players we see practicing day in and day out on the driving range, I don’t see that reputation fading anytime soon. Keep playing, boys and girls! Third, we hosted our annual Men’s Dye Cup in late August and couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. The event sold out in just three days, unfortunately leaving a few teams on the sidelines. Throughout the weekend, we had the opportunity to meet and get to know many of our newer members and their guests, while also welcoming back familiar faces from years past. Great memories were made, the competition was outstanding, and we even received a little miracle from Mother Nature with the weather! This summer brought us countless memories—families playing together, new friendships being formed, great competition, and plenty of fun throughout the club. Thank you to everyone who participated, supported our events, and helped make this summer such a success. Let’s keep the momentum going as we head into the fall!
