FROM THE MANAGER
HAPPY APRIL!
April is one of the most refreshing months of the year—Easter, tennis, golf, The Masters, and planning summer activities for the kids are all in full swing. Of course, Member/Guest Weekend is on many minds!
Speaking of Member/Guest Weekend, I want to highlight the Friday night party on June 5th. As I’ve shared in previous Wyndows, we’re celebrating our 40th Anniversary (1986–2026) all year long,

and this party will be a true throwback. Expect ’80s hits from 1986 performed by US Band, festive 1986-themed decorations, and a lively evening for all. You do not need to participate in the golf or tennis tournaments to attend— this event is open to all members! Dress is casual, but it would be fun to channel your inner 1986—look it up! We’re excited for a night full of fun and memories. Please register by calling the Business Office. More details can be found in this issue of Wyndows.
The Summer Handbook should have arrived in your inbox recently, filled with activities for kids of all interests. Offerings include golf, tennis, and fitness camps, WynCamp (featuring golf, tennis, fitness, art, and culinary experiences), and a NEW fashion camp. For swim team, families now have the option of morning or afternoon practice sessions.
Other summer highlights include Splash into Summer (‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ theme), Thursday family nights at the pool, and Mom’s Day at the Pool. Don’t forget our Cabanas, available for half-day or full-day rentals. Please review the pool rules in the handbook with your children, as these ensure everyone’s safety. The pool opens weekends only starting May 2nd through Memorial Day, then seven days a week through Labor Day. Come and enjoy the beautiful, relaxing scenery at the Wynlakes Pool this summer.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH JANUARY - BARBARA SAVAGE
Wynlakes is proud to recognize Barbara Savage from our Housekeeping Department as January Employee of the Month. This May will mark an incredible 29 years of dedicated service to the Wynlakes family. Barbara says she enjoys the early morning greetings and smiles from coworkers and members that brighten her day. Her favorite part of the job is working in the ballroom, where she loves seeing weddings and special events come together. Outside of work, Barbara enjoys riding her bike, spending time with her grandchildren, and attending church social events. She is motivated each day by the strong team of ladies she works alongside and the support she feels throughout the club. A fun fact—Barbara loves to dance!

FITNESS NEWS
SPRING IS A GOOD TIME TO RESET
This time of year is a great opportunity to get back into a routine! The weather is better, people are outside more, and energy tends to be a little higher. It’s also a good time to start building momentum before the summer months.
Remember, progress usually comes from simple things done consistently. Two or three solid workouts each week goes a long way.
INNER CIRCLE TRAINING
For members who want more structure in the gym, the Inner Circle program provides small group training with coaching and a structured plan. If you ever feel unsure what to do in the gym or want a little more guidance, this is a great option.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information. Ryan – 334-294-8486 • Brooke – 334-450-7224 • Clinton – 334-328-0324
APRIL FITNESS LUNCHEON FITNESS MYTHBUSTERS:
Jeopardy-Style Fitness Luncheon
Tuesday, April 7 • 12 p.m. • Board Room
This month, Brooke and I are trying something a little different. Instead of a lecture, we’re going to run a Jeopardy-style fitness game where we break down some of the biggest fitness myths we hear in the gym.
Topics will include things like:
• Fat Loss & metabolism, Strength training as we age,
• Nutrition truths, Heart health, Simple habits that actually make a difference
It should be relaxed, a little competitive, and hopefully useful. There may or may not be prizes involved! If you’d like to come, just let us know!
Email or Text Ryan at ryanc@wynlakes.com or 334-294-8486 to save your spot.
QUICK TRAINING TIP
One thing we see a lot in the gym is people feeling like they need to do a lot of cardio to get results.
Cardio is great, but strength training plays a huge role in long-term health.
Strength training helps maintain muscle, supports metabolism, improves balance, and helps keep joints strong.
Even two strength workouts per week can make a noticeable difference.

Next to the common cold, back pain is the most frequent complaint heard by doctors.
Massage kneads away tension in the muscles, as well as relieving discomfort in surrounding areas that are “guarding” in response to the pain. It increases circulation, allowing healing nutrients and oxygen into the tissue.
Don’t forget we have GIFT CARDS for birthdays and special occasions. Call Foad, today.

SUPERVIEWS
by Brad Barron
The golf season has arrived, and we are excited to bring y’all another year of great golf and course conditions. We have had some really nice and warm weather to start our transition period, but we also have had a few cold snaps too. Hopefully the cold nights are behind us.
We have been very busy on the course for the last several weeks. This time of year, it is crucial to get out and do certain chemical applications along with mechanical applications. Spring green up is the time of year the plants are waking up, and it needs some help to get into the best growing conditions possible. A lot of our chemical applications revolve around the correct timing of fertilizer applications and micronutrient applications. Also, there are several fungicide applications during this time too. These are much needed to restore the energy to the turfgrass and focus on plant health overall. Some of the mechanical applications involve venting and topdressing. We vent the green with very small needle tines. This allows the transfer of gases out of the soil and oxygen into the soil. It also helps with water infiltration. This is very good for the roots of the turf. We have started topdressing the greens lightly. This will be done biweekly until the turf is in full growing mode and then will be done on a weekly basis. Topdressing helps with smoothing out imperfections in the turf, water infiltration and foot traffic recovery.
This is always an exciting and busy time of year for us on the grounds crew. We are out of winter mode and are cutting grass and getting the course in great playing condition. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the course!
