Now that we have hit Chartwell Season, we are in the peak of business. On any

given day we’ll serve up to 225 people dinner and up to 100 people lunch. The

tennis courts have an average of 21 hours of usage and over 150 tee times are

booked a day. And of course the swimming pool hosts more than 500 bathers each

day! To accommodate and provide services to these members and their guests, the

Club peaks with more than 150 employees. As you might expect, a lot goes into find-

ing these people, training them and supervising them. The people responsible for

that large task are rarely recognized. They are usually not in the limelight or the fore-

front. They are the right hand people to the department heads. And, if truth be

known, they are the worker bees, for not only do they oversee the line staff, but they

are usually working side-by-side with them, too. The following are many of these hard

working, dedicated supervisors that are responsible for providing the service and ex-

perience that we all appreciat

BOARD ROOM NEWSCLUBHOUSE

• After 8 years, Joe Davis, the Club’s Facilities Engineer,

has tendered his resignation. He has taken a new

position with Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier, PA. Joe has

been critical in the day-to-day operation and

maintenance of the Club’s facilities and computer

networking. We wish him and his family continued

success with their new venture.

• Chef Brian has just celebrated his 1st anniversary.

Because of Brian and his staff’s creativity and skill,

Chartwell has become a destination for members to eat

and entertain.

SOCIAL

• The 50th Anniversary sub-committee is being formed

with Hayes and Molly Merkert chairing the planning

group. With the Club’s Golden year next year, there are

many opportunities we hope to celebrate! If you would

like to be part of the planning committee, please contact

the Merkert’s or Tad.

TENNIS

• In order to accommodate more member play and

encourage new Tennis membership, the following Tennis

rules were recently updated by the Tennis Committee

and Board of Directors.

Section 3/ Rules of Play

º Add to 3.7 All leagues or regularly scheduled

matches must be sanctioned by the Tennis

Professional and the Tennis Chairman.

Section 4/ Guest Policy.

º Change: 4.2 Resident Guests may only be a

guest one time per month.

º New: 4.4 During non-Prime time hours, mem-

bers may bring up to 3 guests with prior notice

to and the permission from the Tennis

Professional. The member must accompany as

well as play within the group.

º New 4.5 During Prime time hours, members

may bring up to 1 guest with prior notice to and

the permission from the Tennis Professional.

The member must accompany as well as play

within the group. .

POOL

• Swim team has approximately 130 children with the

majority of kids between the ages of 9 and 12. In total,

we will host 3 home meets (June 26, July 10 & 17.)

GOLF

• The MSGA is scheduled to visit and re-rate the course in

July. New score cards will be printed thereafter to reflect

the updated slope ratings.

• Regular, special group tee times have been constricted

to better accommodate the general membership. 9 and

18 Hole Ladies are now only blocking 8:00–9:30 am on

Wednesdays and Thursdays; the Senior group on

Tuesday has decreased their block time to 8:30–9:00 am.

• The Committee is reviewing the golf rules and Club

enforcement policy.

FINANCE

• The Club experienced another banner month in May

with a bottom line profit that exceeded budget by better

than $56,000. Banquet sales alone outstripped

expectations by $77,000 or 95% for the month. Golf also

exceeded projections buoyed by great weather and two

outings. Eight months into the fiscal year, the profit is

$296,000, well ahead of targets for the period. The

positive variance is almost equally split between cost

containment and increased revenue generation.

GREENS

• Improvements to the drainage renovation of #3 will be

completed by McDonald & Son’s.

• The Green staff is initiating a proactive Bermuda

retardation program on #3 and #18.

Dam Update:

º The Dam is Complete!

º The County will release the Club’s bond upon

turf establishment around the dam.

CHARTWELL CHATTER JULY 2010 17

From The President…continued from page 1…

Random Thoughts:

The Dam has been built, fiscal year 2010 is moving in a very positive

direction and with some success in the “nagging issues” area, it is time to

look ahead. Here are some “random thoughts” for the future.

1. It is time to restart the Strategic Planning Process. Mark Brugnoli

and his committee are moving forward with this effort.

2. Defining the Long Term Capital Budget is a critical component of

the strategy. Management and the Committees are challenged with

defining the Capital Budget priorities.

3. Once initial Capital Budget priorities have been determined,

Management, Jeff Armiger and his Finance Committee have the

challenge of reviewing the source of funds available for financing

the Capital improvements.

4. 2011 Fiscal planning is already underway. Tad and his management

team are working on the initial operating budget. One controversial

item is the monthly member operating dues. Each year, for the

previous 20 years, there has been a dues increase. The range has

been 2% to 15%. In years where the increase has been small, it is

normally followed by a double digit increase the next year. We have

asked Management and the Finance Committee to provide a more

long term view of these increases. The objective is to have a more

transparent process and provide a consistent financial model to

the membership.

Again, if you have any issues or comments let us know.

In Friendship,

Bill Westervelt


º Landscaping has commenced with

fencing and bushes at either side

of the dam. Larger plantings will

be planted over the next few weeks

with the completion of the

landscaping to be completed this

fall.

º Pond grasses will be managed as

the pond fills.

º Old #2 has been re-established

with two new level hitting areas.

One specific employee that has made an

extremely noticeable impact on the Club is our

horticulturalist, Jim Hogan. In less than two

years, he has transformed the Club’s grounds

into a garden wonderland. Most of the time, he

is a department of one. Jimmy is a designer,

nurseryman, landscaper and engineer. To Jim

and the assistants of Chartwell, I personally

thank you for sharing your talents and

dedicating yourself to the service of our mem-

bers and to each other.

At your service,

Summer is the time of year to maintain what we have and

survive until the cooler temperatures of autumn come

upon us. As always, monitor the weather and water as

needed.

AUDUBON

Some of you may know that Chartwell Golf & Country Club

has been a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary since

2000. We are currently pursuing recertification, which must

be done every 2 years. With the new pond/dam project we

will have great opportunities to further enhance our

commitment to the environment and be better stewards of

the land.

WHAT’S FLOWERING IN JULY AND AUGUST?

Crape myrtle, daylily, hydrangea, spirea, hibiscus, Rose of

Sharon, various other perennials, St. John’s Wort, Golden

Rain Tree

ANNUALS

Annuals may need some additional work in

order to continue their strong flowering through

the summer. Continue to deadhead the annuals

and use either a water soluble fertilizer (i.e.

Miracle Gro) every 2 weeks or use a slow release

fertilizer (Osmocote) once. Check the fertilizer

packaging for the rates to use. You may also

want to head back some of the annuals. If some

annuals get excessively long and you would like

to promote more bushiness or lateral growth, cut back the

main stems to encourage that side growth. Also, removal of

finished flowers will encourage the plants to continue to

produce more flowers.

BEDS

Continue to weed the beds as needed. The weeds seem to

go from sprout to mature plant overnight. The best way to

weed is with a non-selective post-emergent herbicide

(Round-Up) rather than pulling by hand. However, pulling

by hand is the best choice when you are trying to get to

control weeds that are in a thick planting. Chemical

applications in a thick planting may lead to mis-spraying

and result in damage or even death to your desirable

plants. August is also the last month to do any pruning on

your woody plants. Pruning in September always leaves the

new growth potentially vulnerable to an early frost in

October.

TREES

Any pruning that you want to do on trees should be done in

July and wrapped up in August. Keep your eye out for any

premature leaf drop as this could be a sign of a problem,

either insect, disease, or cultural. Correct diagnosis is

essential to make sure you are treating with the correct

product and not wasting your time and money.

TURF

- Summer can definitely be very stressful for the turf. There

are several practices to help reduce plant stress during this

period. First, avoid any fertilization now. You may need to

do some fertilizing near the mid to end of August. The best

choice is an organic fertilizer (i.e.-Milorganite). This should

be applied at a rate of ½ lb. N per 1000 square

feet. Second, maintain your mowing schedule

and keep the cutting height at 2½–3”. Also,

avoid mowing when temperatures are above 90

degrees. When irrigation is needed, you should

water around 1 hour before sunrise. Next, if you

did not apply a pre-emergent herbicide in

March/April to control crabgrass, you are

seeing the beginning of crabgrass in your lawn.

To eliminate it at this stage, the best method is

to spot treat with Acclaim, being very careful

with the spray. Sedges are probably growing aggressively in

the turf, so use Sedgehammer or Dismiss to control those

weeds. Broadleaf weeds may also be present, and, if so,

should be controlled by using a product containing 2,4-D.

Also, during July, the adult Japanese beetle will be out.

That means they will soon be laying eggs for the next

generation and the larva will again be feeding on the roots

of the grass as they venture deep into the soil. At the end of

July or beginning part of August, you should apply grub

control (Merit or Dylox) to eliminate this next generation of

pests. Finally, preparation can begin for fall seeding. August

is a good time to aerify the turf and seeding can begin at

the end of August and should be completed by Labor Day.

One specific employee that has made an

extremely noticeable impact on the Club is our

horticulturalist, Jim Hogan. In less than two

years, he has transformed the Club’s grounds

into a garden wonderland. Most of the time, he

is a department of one. Jimmy is a designer,

nurseryman, landscaper and engineer. To Jim

and the assistants of Chartwell, I personally

thank you for sharing your talents and

dedicating yourself to the service of our mem-

bers and to each other.

At your service,

This is an unusually large numbers of players for a MISGA mixer. Despite the large field Chartwell had four members placefor prizes. Tom Sullivan and Bob Yount teamed up with thefirst place winners, Rayne Poussard finished in secondplace and John Boylan finished with the fourth place team.Thanks for displaying some outstanding Chartwell talent.

Our mixer scheduled for May 18th at Prospect Bay wasrained out. We have rescheduled our mixer at ProspectBay for September 21st.

Now that we have hit Chartwell Season, we are in the peak of business. On any

given day we’ll serve up to 225 people dinner and up to 100 people lunch. The

tennis courts have an average of 21 hours of usage and over 150 tee times are

booked a day. And of course the swimming pool hosts more than 500 bathers each

day! To accommodate and provide services to these members and their guests, the

Club peaks with more than 150 employees. As you might expect, a lot goes into find-

ing these people, training them and supervising them. The people responsible for

that large task are rarely recognized. They are usually not in the limelight or the fore-

front. They are the right hand people to the department heads. And, if truth be

known, they are the worker bees, for not only do they oversee the line staff, but they

are usually working side-by-side with them, too. The following are many of these hard

working, dedicated supervisors that are responsible for providing the service and ex-

perience that we all appreciat
