Dear Members,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the fresh embrace of spring. As we bid farewell to a vibrant March, I'm thrilled to reflect on the success of our 2024 Annual Meeting.

Doors will not be locked until May 6th, and after-hours access is not allowed until this date.

It is with great pleasure and immense pride that I spotlight Eric Jessup, our April Employee of the Month. Since joining the culinary team as a Garde Manger nearly eight years ago, Eric has exemplified dedication, excellence, and a profound passion for the culinary arts. His unwavering work ethic, consistently positive demeanor, and meticulous attention to detail have significantly contributed to our team's success, earning him Chef Dicey’s utmost respect and admiration. Eric’s remarkable attendance record, particularly noteworthy in these challenging times, speaks volumes of his commitment to our club. I invite you to join me in celebrating Eric’s achievements and in expressing our collective gratitude for his outstanding contributions the next time you see him around the club

WinesoftheMonth

White Wine: Valckenberg Gewürztraminer 2022, Germany $28 per bottle

"There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking"

For over 230 years, P.J. Valckenberg has discovered extraordinary German Estates and acted as an ambassador of their wines. The Valckenberg Varietals represent Authentic and typical German wines. Vintage report: The highs and lows of this year's vintage could be clearly seen in the vineyards. Cool sites near the mountains and with a good water supply fared well against the enduring heat. Grapes on sandy soil, by contrast, matured earlier and more quickly With that said, the Südpfalz was fortunately spared from the enduring drought It was, for example, an outstanding year for Pinot varieties, which came to the cellar in outstanding quality The rains of September have raised the threat of Botrytis, although the meticulous selection work by the harvest team promises top quality here as well All in all, the vintage certainly looks like a promising one

Red Wine: Marietta Cellars OVR Series Old Vine Red Lot #74, California $30 per bottle

Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of many of the old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Predominantly comprised of Zinfandel, Old Vine Red combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel, and a rich, solid structure. First produced in 1982, this groundbreaking combination of multiple varietals and multiple vintages has blazed the path for red blends for decades. With a national following, it is one of the longest-lasting and best-known red blends produced today. One swirl of the glass and OVR Lot Number 74 jumps with lovely bright plum fruit. Dark and focused with notes of briar patch and black tea, this wine strikes a perfect balance between fruit-forward enjoyment and layered sophistication. Mediumbodied, with a mouth of sweet spice, velvety tannins, and electric vibrancy, this wine pairs with almost any meal or occasion.

Boot, Beats and Boogie

GOLF

Full Swing Technique

To achieve accuracy and yardage you are looking for; it is best to learn the proper swing techniques from the beginning. Seeing one of the Golf Professionals for new golfers and experienced players would help establish the basics. Here are a couple of steps to follow.

Step One

Grip the club in your fingers, not in the palm of your hand. Use medium pressure for the grip. A grip that is too tight will hinder your release on impact with the ball.

Step Two

Assume the correct posture when addressing the ball by flexing your knees and leaning into the ball. Allow your arms to hang down without tension. Your knees will be over your feet, and your shoulders will be over your knees Put your weight toward your heels Make sure the ball is positioned off the inside of your front foot, with your feet shoulder width apart for the drive

Step Three

Look at the target and notice any obstacles or hazards that might be in the way. Decide where you want to place the ball and determine a target line. Align the clubface and your body with the target line. You can also find an intermediary target like a leaf or blade of grass between the ball and the target, to keep your shot online or you can focus on your target in the distance

Step Four

Take the club back by turning your shoulders. Your left arm should be straight or bent slightly and tension free. Move your arms and the club back so that your left shoulder moves under your chin. At the top of the swing, your wrists will be cocked, and your weight will shift to the back foot

Step Five

Keep your wrists cocked for as long as possible in the downswing. Ideally, you will release them as you make contact with the ball. Hit the ball squarely in the sweet spot as your weight shifts to the front foot. Keeping your balance and posture in the follow through.

Please call your Golf Professional staff to schedule a lesson so that we can help you with this.

Monday Golf

Monday Golf will start on April 1st. Tee times will begin at 3:00 pm every Monday through the summer unless we have a Golf Outing. The driving range will be closed on Mondays.
