2015 MCOA Board President

We have closed the books on another successful year in Moss Creek. 2014 ended with an operating surplus which al-lowed us to pay down $250,000 of our debt and also allocate some monies for future projects. One of the pillars of our financial strength is the Reserve Fund. Each year we set aside a predetermined amount of money to ensure we will have sufficient funds to repair / replace our capital assets. Prior to 2000, our Community was not setting aside any monies for repair and replacement. The Board realized that as our infrastructure aged, the lack of a financial cushion left us in a vulnerable position. They took the prudent course of action and set aside $200,000. Subsequent to that, the first Reserve Study was commissioned. Every three years we contract with an outside firm that specializes in capi-tal reserve studies. Our most recent review was conducted by Miller Dodson Associates last year. The purpose of the Re-placement Reserve Study is to provide us with a complete inventory of our common community facilities and infrastructure components that require periodic replacement. The study also gives us a general idea of the condition of these assets and a financial plan to fund projected replacements. The previous study, conducted in 2011, identified the replacement cost for our depreciable capital assets at $9,790,859 and recommended we fund the reserve account in the amount of $650,000 per year. Our 2014 review listed these assets at $12,463,975 and requires funding the account at the rate of $858,000 per year for the next three years. This increase is due to two major factors. One, a total of $815,983 in assets were omitted from the 2011 study and two, a net rise in asset value replacement cost totaling $1,857,133. Last year we spent a total $1,012,152 on a variety of undertakings. Of this amount, $946,149 was for 2014 completed pro-jects and $66,003 was for projects in process. The major expenditures were the Gatehouse replacement, Water Oak Infra-structure improvements, South Causeway outflow repairs, North Course design / permitting and roads. After adding the required fund allocation of $650,000 the year end Reserve Fund balance was $1,700,919. In 2015, we will use a portion of our capital reserve funds to renovate the North Course, remodel the Tennis Clubhouse and complete phase one of the Bostwick Point Park Master plan along with other planned projects such as road paving. During our budget review last fall, we had a series of discussions regarding the $1,000 Activity fee. One proposal pre-sented was to increase the fee by $200. Significant research was conducted regarding the initial rationale for the establish-ment of this fee. Brian Haley, 2009 Board President and primary architect of the plan while he was Treasurer the prior year, made a presentation to the Board outlining the thought process behind the fee structure. He pointed out that prior to imple-mentation, we had a menu of fees that, while attempting to cover all activity options, created a confusing and untenable structure that was proving to be unsustainable going forward. At that time, the Board acted decisively to simplify the fee structure and implemented the blanket $1,000 charge. The goal was to have 500 Members sign up. In 2014 we had 554 households participate. In addition to being successful financially, the $1,000 fee has become a dynamic marketing tool enabling realtors and potential buyers to clearly understand the cost and value of living in Moss Creek. After full review by the Board, it was decided to retain the fee at the current level. I’m sure Members have many questions regarding the causeway repair project. The initial estimates for both causeways on Moss Creek Drive exceeded $2,000,000 and as a result we are undertaking a thorough review of the project and an exami-nation of our options moving forward. While the North section project is scheduled for 2016, a great deal of work must be done prior to the start of any construction. We have however, started the permitting phase, a very time consuming process. We have arranged an on-site meeting with representatives from the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to determine what they will allow us to do on the marsh side of the North causeway. I can assure you we will ex-plore all alternatives prior to initiating any repairs. Our goal is to implement the best long term solution to the problem. John Miller or I will provide periodic progress updates in the monthly Advocate. Once we have determined the best course of action, we will schedule a Town Hall meeting to review the project with our Membership.

Community News

On January 20, our new Board members were taken on a guided facilities tour. They had an opportunity to meet with the management and staff of our Water Oak Utility, Facilities Maintenance, Golf Maintenance, Fitness /Pool Center complex, and the Clubhouse Kitchen. It is amazing to see what goes on “behind the scenes” to ensure our Community runs smoothly. At our January Board meeting, we conducted a New Director Orientation session conducted by Ted Robinson from Private Club Associates. Roles and responsibilities were discussed in detail with an emphasis on governance and management oversight. In addition, we participated in a Core Values exercise and established our goals for the year. As a Board, we are responsible for adhering to the Vision and Mission of our Community to ensure that our Brand remains relevant. In addition to the duties outlined in our By Laws, we are responsible for developing future Board Leadership using our com-mittee structure for Members to gain valuable insight into the general workings of our Community. This year, we are fortunate to have many new Members involved in committee assignments. It’s our hope that these Mem-bers will find the work fulfilling and decide to increase their level of involvement by deciding to run for the Board in the near

future.

Several O’fishially Awesome employees started the year off right by going

above and beyond to help members and staff. Those special people are:

NEW Bicycle Crossing at

Moss Creek Light

Beaufort County recently installed a

bicycle signal at the Moss Creek/278 traffic light. This is the first bicycle crossing signal installed in our area.

You have probably noticed the green triangle shaped area on the pavement

arranged at 278 to the right of the out-going lanes (also located on the oppo-site side of 278). If a bicycle pulls up to

the marked pavement, the signal will stay green longer to allow enough time for a bicyclist to cross the 278 intersec-

tion.

This year, Moss Creek will be installing

a bicycle lane along the outgoing side of Moss Creek Drive, and we will be extending the existing trail for those

entering the Community.

Chief of Security

We had a great Crime Prevention presentation from Lt. Will Angelo of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department last week. I have several handouts that would be very beneficial for all of our Members to review. Copies available on the Member Cen-tral page of the website. The presentation was so informative and received excellent reviews, we will try to schedule another beginning around 5pm for the working Members to be able to attend at a later date. Watch publications for date information. You might notice a slight change to the CapSure Gate Pass System when you log on. We just received a new upgraded version that should be beneficial. We will keep you posted of these new features as we take advantage of them. My finding at the out-bound exit lane is that only 1 out 4 vehicles slow down to the 10 mph posted speed. It is very important

that we all obey this 10 mph area for everyone’s safety!

On January 1, the staff in our Golf Course & Grounds department became employees of MCOA. For the past eight years, we had contracted with Professional Turf Management (PTM) for the personnel who perform the maintenance on our golf courses and common grounds. Over the years we have benefited from the expertise and professional network of PTM. However, last fall we determined that we had reached a point where we could bring the staffing back in-house without any detrimental effect on the maintenance of our facilities, and reduce our costs a little in the process. We were able to retain nearly the entire staff, including Mitchell Wilkerson as our Golf Course & Grounds Manager. The transition should be seamless from the Membership perspective, and the maintenance team has responded very positively to the change. As I have noted before, one of our ongoing goals is to ensure that we have open and effective communication with the Mem-bership. One initiative that we will introduce in the coming weeks is a process to contact a sampling of members on a regular basis to get more immediate feedback on your experience with our services and amenities. For example, you may receive an email asking you about your experience on a recent golf outing or dinner at the Clubhouse. The surveys will be short and spe-cific. We plan to use the information to help us evaluate our service, and to identify steps we can take to better meet the ex-pectations of our Members. The new leisure trail that parallels Toppin Drive, from Moss Creek Drive to Victoria Drive, is now complete. It took longer than expected to get the paving contractor to finish the job, but the end product is very nice, and certainly improves safety for Mem-bers who walk or bike along that route. We have received several positive comments about the trail and the small bridge, which was built by our facilities maintenance team. One project on the capital improvement plan for this year is to provide a bicycle route for members who bike across Fording Island Road to access the bicycle trails in Bluffton. We have been working with Beaufort County Engineering to modify the traffic signal to accommodate bicycles crossing the intersection. You will notice green triangle-shaped areas on the pavement at the intersection. Within each of these green areas is a device that will recognize a bicycle and trigger the light to cycle. The bicycle detection system is now operational. We will be installing a bike lane along the outgoing side of Moss Creek Drive, and we will also be extending the existing trail on the east side of the road to provide a connection for cyclists coming back into the community.

Bunkers: Location, Location, Location When we build bunkers, we shape them, drain them, and then add sand to them. When we maintain bunkers, we rake them, we edge them, and we move sand around after heavy rains. The trick is trying to keep a hazard consistent for our Members. The local environment, time of year, amount of sunlight, amount and direction of wind, amount of rainfall, and the type of soil around the bunker all have an effect on how the sand sets up in any bunker. Bunkers on the same green surround can be different due to any of the above situations. The only way to reduce these factors is to enclose the hazard with an impermeable surface. But that only corrects a few of the elements having a factor on the sand and how it plays. We continually look at better ways to build and maintain bunkers. When we fix a bunker at Moss Creek, we remove the old sand, check the

sub-surface, add or replace drainage, and then go back with a fracture

sand that helps playability. We also look at other constructions going on in

the southeast on bunkers to see what other people are doing.

Twilight Golf January Recap

There were 52 players in Twilight Golf on January 16th and the sun finally came out! The front nine of the South Course

Styrofoam Recycling

The Golf Course & Grounds Department has updated the Audubon an-nouncement board at the golf bag drop and would like everyone to stop down and check it out!

Did you know?

1,369 tons of Styrofoam goes into U.S. landfills every day 25-30% of landfill space in the U.S. consists of Styrofoam It takes 500 years for 1 Styrofoam cup to fully decompose 57,000 = the amount of Styrofoam cups used at Moss Creek in the year 2014 at a cost of .04 per cup 57,000 Styrofoam cups will fill the entire fairway on #4 North Course

The New Year is bringing some new faces and changes to the Golf Shop staff. It is with excitement for Joshua Carmichael and sadness for the Golf Shop team, I announce his last day at Moss Creek was Sat-urday, January 31, 2015. Josh and his fiancé, Stepha-nie Beach, are relocating to Indiana where Stephanie has started a terrific new job opportunity. Josh has

served Moss Creek as an Assistant Professional for the last two years and has been a great addition to our staff. We will miss watching Josh hit the ball a mile off the tee and having him as a part of our team. I also thank

Josh for his service to our country in the United States Air Force; he served from 2003 to 2010, including two tours for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I have tremendous respect for Josh and only wish him the best in his new journeys. Please join me in wishing Josh well! As Josh Carmichael heads back to Indiana, I am happy to announce Josh Goodman will be returning to the Golf Shop staff full-time as an Assistant Profes-sional. Josh served as an Assistant Professional in

2012 then made the decision to go back to school full-time to complete his accounting degree. Josh is in his last semester and will graduate in May. We are happy to have Josh

back in the Assistant’s position and are proud of the progress he has made at USCB to complete his de-gree. Jason Wells is on his way! As part of the PGA Profes-

sional Golf Management program, ap-prentices have to pass a Player’s Ability Test. This is 36-hole golf tournament where individuals have to shoot a target score or lower. Staff member, Jason Wells, played his PAT on the Jones

Course at Palmetto Dunes on Saturday and Sunday, January 24 and 25. On Saturday he battled the wind

and scored an 81 with two triple bogeys on his scorecard. He stayed focused on Sunday and scored a 33 on the back nine to pass the PAT on the number. Please congratulate Jason when you see him. This is one of the first steps for him on his journey to become a Class A Member of the PGA. The Professional Staff is very excited about 2015 and we are working on plans for new and exciting learning and playing opportunities for the Membership. As an example, Assistant Golf Professional, Tracy Schooler, ac-companied seven Members to Port St. Lucie, FL in January for two days of golf and golf instruction. On day one they enjoyed a two-hour instruction clinic in the morning and 18 holes of golf in the afternoon. After a fun evening they charged on for another 18-hole round in the morning on day two then headed home.

Director of Tennis, Tom Ruth approached Clubhouse Man-ager, Jim O’Connor, and me about a fantastic idea to honor Mr. Larry Block. On February 27 and 28, we will be hosting an event in his memory. This event incorporates Members forming teams to compete in Golf, Tennis & Trivia. Each team must have two women and two men competing in golf and two women and two men competing in tennis. If you have the same four people playing golf and tennis, you can ask four more players to join your team for lunch and trivia on Saturday (maximum players per team is eight people). If you don’t have a full team, you may sign up as an individual or partial team and the Golf Shop staff will help create a team for you.

MCTC Valentine’s Social The Moss Creek Tennis Club will host the annual Valentine’s Day Social this year on Saturday, February 7th at 10:00am. This year it will be a Sadie Hawkins format where we are asking the women to find themselves a male partner for the mixed event. The event will be flighted based on the combined ratings of the teams. Teams will play against other teams at similar level. All participants are guaranteed to play three rounds of eight games. As always, the MCTC will provide beer, wine, soda and lunch for the participants. Those wish-ing only to partake in the food and drink may sign up as well for a fee of $8. Nutrition for Tennis Players On Friday, February 13th at 11:00am, Sharon McDonnell, the Fitness Center Director, will be hosting a ses-sion on proper eating for tennis players at the Clubhouse. Please see her write-up in the Advocate for more information on what she will be discussing. Beginner Tennis / Welcome Back to Tennis Starting in March, we will have a program designed for new tennis players or those players that have not played in many years. We will have a kick-off party on Saturday, March 7th from 10:00am-Noon. Then the following week, we will start a 6-week program. The 6-week program will feature one group clinic per week for 6-weeks which will have you serving, rallying, and scoring. Sign-up sheets for both of the programs will be in the Tennis Center beginning Friday, February 13th.

We often talk about depth in tennis especially on our ground strokes and return of serves.

Remember there are two ways that a player can increase their depth—more power or more height. If we take option one, and go with more power, we generally lose control of the ball and therefore our results suffer. The better option most of the time, is more height. By aiming higher over the net, it takes the net out of play, thus resulting in fewer errors. A good deep return will often cause your

opponent to make an error or send back a much weaker ball that your partner or yourself can put away.

I am happy to announce that beginning Tuesday, February 3, the Fitness Center will begin offering a new Fitness Fusion class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-9:45 a.m. Fitness Fusion is a 45-minute interval based class that com-bines full body strength training with bouts of cardio intervals designed to tone your body. No two classes will be the same. The class will use a variety of equipment such as: weights, body bars, bands, balls, and more to provide a fun, safe work-out. Modifications will be given for both lower and higher im-pact options. Please arrive at least 5 minutes prior to class to select the proper fitness accessories you will need for class. On Friday, February 13 at 11:00 a.m. in the Clubhouse, I will be presenting a Nutrition for Active Lifestyle power-point pres-entation. The lecture will be tailored towards golfers and tennis players, however everyone is welcome to attend that is seek-ing nutritional guidance. Grab your tennis and golf buddies and come learn what to eat prior, during and after your exercise. Please sign-up at the Fitness, Tennis, or Golf Centers. After working with several of the Members in private training sessions and in my Stretch with Core class, I’ve noticed many Members seem to have tight muscles all over the body. For the month of February I have scheduled three How to Stretch Using the Myofascial Release Technique Clinics. Myofascial Release is a specialized stretching technique used to release tension and realign the body. The word myofascial is derived from the Latin word “myo” meaning muscle, and “fascia” for band. Fascia is tough connective tissue that spreads through-out the body in a three dimensional web from the head to the toe. Fascia surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve and organ in the body. Poor posture, physical injuries, and various illnesses can throw the body out of alignment and cause the intricate web of the body’s fascia to become restricted. When muscle fibers are injured, the fascia that surrounds muscles become short and tight. This uneven amount of pressure on the fascia can bind the fascia to underlying tissues causing adhesions or scar tissue. Over time these adhesions can limit the range of motion within a joint and cause pain and numbness throughout the body.

The gentle stretching used in Myofascial Release can break up scar tissue by softening, lengthening and realigning the fascia. Freeing constrictions in the tissue will ultimately restore bal-ance back to the body by relieving pain and improving blood circulation in the body. Myofascial Release Therapy can be beneficial for many individuals including those suffering from back pain and fibromyalgia. Myofascial Release may not be appropriate for those individuals with one kidney, individuals with severe osteoporosis or individuals with rods or screws in their back. The How to Stretch Using the Myofascial Release Technique Clinics will be held on the following days: Friday, February 6 2:00-3:00 p.m. Thursday, February 19 3:00-4:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 24 3:00-4:00 p.m.

The cost of the clinic is $15.00 which includes an exercise booklet. Each clinic will be limited to 10 participants. Please

stop by or call the Fitness Center to reserve your spot in the

class. We have a feeling reservations for these special classes will fill up quickly, so plan to call early in the month!

As I sit and write my article in the forty degree weather, I know it is go-ing to come as a shock to say this, but as of February 1st we are 90 days out from opening Mackay’s Creek Grill at the Bostwick Pool Com-plex. Chef Lenny and I have started looking at some different menu items for the pool and are very excited about the upcoming season. I will slow down for a second to talk about this past January and the up-coming February.

As you all know, we were closed for the first couple weeks of January to do some spring cleaning and get things organized from the busy holi-day season. This year, we have done some work in the Blue Heron room to help decrease the noise levels on busy nights. Contractors were hired to place brand new acoustic tiling in the Blue Heron, and Pinckney and his crew came in to re-insulate the heating and air ducts. So far, it has been a marked improvement. I know most of you have noticed the new office. We have moved the Assistant Manager to a more visual and user friendly area. Again, Pinckney was able to do some fantastic work and enlarged the previous area known as the coat closet and made a wonderful office for Mario. This was done to have a more visual manager presence on the floor, as well as to help facilitate Member interaction. So, the big question. “Jim, where are we going to hang our coats?” We will be purchasing a nice portable coat rack that will be stored upstairs and when needed placed in the Board Room. I feel blessed that we live in a place where this is only an issue a few months out of the year!

I know most of the golfers are getting accustomed to the new online golf reservation system—ForeTees. The best part about the system is it is designed for clubs that have various amenities such as ours. We are in the final stages of training our staff on the ForeTees dining/event online reservation module and then we will begin having training sessions for the Members, and then shortly tennis will follow. One of the other main reasons we are going to this program is that every one of the modules works the same, so if you know how to make a reservation for golf, it is pretty much the exact same for dining. Of course, you are always able to call the Clubhouse to make a reservation.

Mario has a wonderful Wine Social planned for February 12th. Trust me, this will be different than any other wine event we have ever had at Moss Creek. As everyone knows, we will have Bobby Ryder serenad-ing us on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. The following week we will have the Mardi Gras event. I want to mention, for this event, we had over 300 requests for seats and we could only accommodate 160, which is why a lottery was held. Looking ahead, we will have our an-nual Oyster Roast on Saturday, March 7th.

Ok, is everyone still hanging in there on your New Year’s resolutions? One of the main reasons I hear from people eating less healthy options is that healthy food can be boring. Let’s face it… that can be true. Given the choice of a celery stick, or a potato chip…the potato chip almost always wins. But what if you can have good, healthy cuisine that packs a lot of flavor? I recommend this nutritious salsa over grilled fish, grilled chicken breast, pork tenderloin, or even just to jazz up a salad. You may find that if used over salad, you don’t need any other dressing! Enjoy!
