As we enter into the fall, most of our residents have returned and we are in the final stages of the Board’s activity for CY 2013. We are ap-proaching the MCOA Special Meeting on October 22, where you will receive information on the Gatehouse Project by Jim Vogel, hear from your Treasurer, Jan Alpert on our Financial status, and from Chuck Eberly who will review the Long Range Plan. And of course, you will be advised of the election of three new Board Members for 2014. Please plan on attending the meeting at 4:00pm. It is an important event for Moss Creek and we’ll have some other significant updates for you. The kayak launch enhancements are in process and hopefully it will provide the Members with an improved amenity. Expanding the area for storage of kayaks is also being addressed; road paving is under-way; and the tennis and truck storage areas have been completed. The causeway is still of concern and will be open for consideration next year. The Bostwick area re-development is also a project for fu-ture boards. There is no new word on the cell tower nor the Time War-ner quote. Hargray has continued their efforts to resolve Member sys-tem problems. As of September 20, they received 282 Member re-quests for communication system audits and have completed 270 or 96%. Both the Gatehouse and the Dog Park are currently in process of final-ization and are planned for approval this year, but anticipate comple-tion in 2014. Recall that the new Gatehouse will be re-located only slightly back from its present location and will not impact the entry into Peninsula or Royal Pointe. Improvements to this facility will include technology that records vehicles entering and exiting Moss Creek as a benefit to the security of our residents, in addition to camera monitor-ing throughout the Community. A general Membership meeting will be held at the Clubhouse on Thursday, October 10, at 6pm to present updates on the Gatehouse and Dog Park projects to the Community. Please plan on attending. This year, summer dining at the Clubhouse has increased over past seasons usage and this reassures us that Members are enjoying qual-ity meals at competitive pricing right in our own “back yard.” If you haven’t taken advantage of this amenity, I urge you to re-consider. Bon appétit! With regard to our financial status for the eight months ended August

2013, Revenue is slightly below budget by approximately $9,000 and

Expenses are under budget by approximately $219,000. Bottom line,

we had a Net Surplus of $1,310,000, which is over budget by

$662,000. This includes Certificate Income of $1,126,000 which is over

budget by $375,000. Again, our financial position continues to be posi-

tive after eight months of operations.

Notice to the Membership MCOA does not accept credit cards from Members. Perhaps you wonder why. The fee for a credit card is at least 1.8% of the charge. MCOA has an annual budget of about $8 million. In the extreme, the cost of credit card usage could exceed $100,000 annually which would simply have to be added to the Member Annual Association Fees. Please respect this policy. Thanks

Cliff Charnes

General Manager/COO

This past Sunday evening reminded me of why it is such a pleasure to be part of the Moss Creek staff. Our fall “Picnic in the Park” was held in the Bostwick Circle, preceded by a very successful Realtor’s Open House. It was an absolutely gor-geous day! We had several sponsors for the event in addition to MCOA. Frankie Denmark with Hargray Communications treated eve-ryone to pork bar-b-cue, mac ’n cheese, rolls, brownies and soft drinks. Dunes Marketing provided beer and wine. L&L Mosquito Control sprayed the field on Friday, gratis. But, here is how the Moss Creek staff was involved. Our kitchen staff, Mike and Irma prepared the cole slaw and helped serve. The Clubhouse front of the house staff, Nata-sha, Sylvester, Trevor, Randy, Kain, Liz, and Beth were there to help serve and take care of set-up details.

Randy Connelly

Chief of Security

The next couple of months, especially around the holiday season, we need to be on alert in order to safeguard our personal belongings. Be safety conscious while shopping, as criminals look for the easiest targets with minimal chance of being caught. Their best targets are in parking lots of shopping centers. They cruise the lot on foot looking in vehicles for items easy to grab and conceal (electronics, purses, wallets or packages). They will also prowl the neighborhoods during the hours of darkness searching vehicles that are unlocked in driveways. This is most profitable for them because they have plenty of time to com-pletely search all compartments. If they find your garage door opener, they could easily enter the house while you are asleep or come back later after you have gone for the day. Since I have been here for five years, not one vehicle that had items stolen from it was locked. Several vehicles had keys in them. So remember, lock your vehicles and arm the security system if you have one. Lock your home’s exterior doors and if you don’t have an alarm system in your house, you should check into obtaining one. You don’t have to get a company that requires a monitoring fee. Just have one that alerts the neighbors and they can contact Security or Law Enforcement for you.

Craig in Common Grounds took care of mowing and ant hills. Cornelius in Golf Maintenance trimmed the live oak to allow for better seating in the shade. Suzanna, Kelly and Melissa from the Administration Office did much of the ad-vance work and were there Sunday evening serving and doing whatever else it took to make the evening a success. Security was present to help with parking. And of course, Pinckney did the lighting and roping to keep all organized and safe. Each and everyone of these people put their efforts and time

into Sunday to make this the largest “Picnic in the Park” yet,

and they did it entirely with a smile on their faces. That’s

why it is a pleasure to be part of the staff! A million thanks

to each, and thank you to the Members for coming out and

having a great time.

Mitchell Wilkerson

Director of Golf Maintenance

The title of this story is, “Those Dang Foxes” (PG version). We have two very playful foxes here at Moss Creek that consider the bunkers on both golf courses their personal play pen. They have played “dig to the center of the earth” on #11 South greenside bunker. Their next favorite game is “see how many bunkers we can run in be-fore a 9:00am shotgun on #12 South, after the maintenance crew has raked them.” Oh, and let us not forget the North, because my two little buddies play “find the nut in #12 North fairway bunkers.” I’m not sure if the squirrels get a kick out of that game, but the foxes sure do. Do I have my two buddies on a wanted poster? No. I learn, as we all do, to share our beautiful golf courses with all of our friends in nature. We share, we don’t mingle. Enjoy watching the beautiful creatures, but please don’t feed the wild animals.

Twilight Golf Recap

There were 52 Members in Twilight Golf Friday, September 20, 2013. The format was a four-person scramble on the South Course. The extra punch to the event was every player could only use four clubs from their set. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Ready Golf! Above is a list of reminders to play Ready Golf. The pace for an 18-hole round of golf at Moss Creek is four hours and often faster. November is one of the highest round count months of the year and a lot of family members visit around the Thanksgiving holiday. Keep in mind the tips above, always keep pace with the group in front of you, and help make everyone’s day on the course a great experience.

Ready Golf Suggestions *Be on time. *Be ready to play your shot. *Prepare for your shot while playing partners are hitting their shots. *Place clubs on the apron of the green where you will walk off. *First person to putt out gets the flagstick. *Watch balls for others. *Take a scoop of sand and more than one club to your shot if in doubt, especially cart path only days. *Help move your cart when needed, even if you are not the driver. *Get your clubs and walk to your ball when possible, staying clear of your playing partner’s line of play. *Take no more than two practice swings before playing your shot. *Read putts while walking to the green and while playing part-ners putt. *Mark scores down on next tee, not by the green you just played. *Minimize time looking for golf balls in hazards. *Always park golf cart on the side of the path that is closest to your next tee box. *Identify your golf ball on the first tee, and then again if you have to play a different ball. *“Ready Golf” simply means playing when ready and being alert.

Thank you for your support! Head Golf Professional, Tom Logue, and I played a mara-thon day of golf from 7:00am to 7:00pm on the South Course Monday, September 16, 2013 in support of the Folds of Honor Foundation. Our day was shortened by the rain and light- ning at 5:30pm, but we were able to play a total of 272 holes. Tom played 145 holes. He had a total of 28 birdies, including three turkeys (three birdies in a row). In addi- tion to the three turkeys, he made four birdies in a six-hole stretch, twice! His low round of the day was 70. I played a total of 127 holes with five birdies, one eagle, and a low round of 74. As PGA Members, we are both very passionate about support-ing Patriot Golf Day and all of the men and women serving our country. Thanks to your show of support we submitted a donation of $14,496.00 to the Folds of Honor Foundation. This exceeded our goal by $4,496.00!

November is a busy month and a lot of rounds of golf will be played. Over the holidays, we kindly remind you to make sure family members who are visiting abide by the proper dress code when using the practice areas or playing golf. Fun events this month include the Ladies Nine Club Cham-pionship, the Moss Creek Marines charity tournament, the WGA Fall Member-Guest, the Men’s Team Round Robin, The WGA Closing Tournament and the Ladies Nine Cou-ples Championship.

Labor Day Tourn. Recap

The first Member event of the fall season kicked off with a bang Monday, September 2, 2013 with the Labor Day Mixed Member-Member. There were 116 Members in the field and the format was a four-person scramble on the North Course. The field was divided in three flights by team handicap total. The lowest score of the day came from the second flight with a net 57 from Georgene & Jim Risko and Linda & Jim McCarron.

The 2013 Couples Championship, ‘aka’ The Divorce Open, was played Saturday and Sunday, September 7 & 8. The players en-joyed two perfect days of weather and there were 29 couples in the field. The format on the South Course on day one was Better Ball of Partners. Day two on the North Course was a Chapman Format. I am happy to report we don’t believe any divorce pro-ceedings are taking place due to the event!

Divorce Open Recap

Moss Creek hosted Event #30 for the SMGA September 9 & 10 on the North and South Course. The format of the event was Individual Stroke Play, Gross & Net, and there were 54 players in the field. Many Moss Creek Members competed and faired very well. Paul Schulz

and Don Nontelle competed in a sudden death playoff to deter-mine the 1st Net Winner in the First Flight. Mr. Schulz prevailed on the first playoff hole. Larry O’Brien won 1st Gross honors in the Second Flight.

SMGA 2013 Recap

WGA Solheim Salute Recap

In this event a USA Team and a Europe Team are formed. The two teams are determined by a low to high list of handicap indexes. The low four handicap players are in the first foursome, the second lowest in the second foursome, etc. In each foursome the low and high handi-cap player are paired as Team USA and the middle two handicap players are paired as Team Europe. The players compete in 9-hole matches with formats consisting of Four-Ball Match Play, Chapman Match Play and Singles Matches. One point is awarded for each hole won and one half of a point is awarded if holes are tied. The rain came and round one was washed out resulting in a one-day event. The formats of Four-Ball and Chapman were played on the North Course the second day of play and Mother Nature provided a beautiful day. The 2013 win goes to Europe!

Twenty-six Members of the Ladies Nine played in the Fall Colors Tournament on Thursday, September 19, 2013. The event was played on the back nine of the South Course and the format was two best balls of four with stableford scoring. The catch to the event was every player was assigned a color. On each flagstick there was a piece of colored electric tape. The player whose tape matched the color on the stick, their score had to count for one of the two scores for the team. This year’s winners with 36 points were Linda Eberly, PJ Leonhardt, Judy Patnaude and Ede Birkett.

Ladies Nine Fall Colors Recap

The Men’s President’s Tournament was hosted on the North and South Course Saturday and Sunday, September 21 & 22. This is an individual 36-hole net stroke play event and there were 39 players in the field. Round one was a beautiful day with round two a bit more of a challenge with on and off rain throughout play. Patrick Piercy and Don Mikkelson tied with a two-day total of 137. The Overall President’s Tourna-ment Champion was determined by a sudden death playoff from #1 South. Mr. Piercy won the first playoff hole to seal the title with a net par. Don Mikkelson went on to win the Super Senior Division and Rich Sandquist won the Senior Division with a score of 139.

Men’s President’s Tourn. Recap

WGA Championship Recap

The 2013 WGA Club Champi-onship was held on the North Course September 24, 25 & 27. This event is a single elimination match play cham-pionship. The matches in the

Championship Flight are played with no handicap and Mem-bers qualify through a stroke play competition prior to the start of match play. All other flights are played at 100% handicap off the low ball of the match. Play was followed by a Cham-paign celebration in the Clubhouse to toast the Champion and Flight Winners and Runner-Ups. Congratulations to this year’s Champion, Melissa Nieberding, who defeated 2011 & 2012 Champion, Brenda Lozan, six up with five to play. The first flight winner was Gloria Johnson, second flight was Patsy Reynolds, and third flight was Judy Minnich.

Finishing first in the local league, they will represent Hilton Head Island against other top teams in the state. Good Luck to all the players!

In doubles, we all generally start in a similar position. Sometimes in order to mix up your opponents, you may want to try

starting in a different formation. A doubles team could start with two players back at the baseline if the opponents often

lob their returns or return serves right at the net player. Another common formation is the Australian formation. In this

formation the net player starts on the same side of the court as the server. This can take away your opponents highest

percentage return, which is generally crosscourt. It will also force the returner to change the direction of the ball on the

return and attempt to make a shot down the line. As we all know, that is the lower percentage return. All this is assum-

ing the net player stays put and does not poach, which is another option. Servers should be serving to the returners

body when in this formation for the best results.

The King, The Prince and the Pauper Everybody eats a little differently. Some people will have a hard-boiled egg and some toast for breakfast; others will have eggs with bacon, toast and pancakes, while others omit breakfast entirely. So does it matter when you eat your calories? According to a study done earlier this year that was pub-lished in The Obesity Society, eating the majority of your calories at breakfast can help you shed some pounds. Par-ticipants in the study were given a limit of 1,400 calo-ries. The only difference between the two groups: when they ate the majority of their calories. Participants who ate a larger portion of their calories in the morning lost more than twice as much weight as those who ate the majority of their calories at dinnertime. Why does it matter? Eating after you wake up fires your metabolism up for the day’s work. Most people tend to eat the largest portion of their calories at dinner and then relax for the rest of the night. So what ends up happening, is the calories from that larger meal turn to fat because they aren’t being utilized through physical activity. However, if you eat most of your calories at breakfast it a) fires up your metabolism; b) gives you more energy to do work through-out the day; c) the calories don’t get stored as fat. Because of this, it’s recommended that you eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch and a pauper at dinner. Have the majority of your calories at breakfast, a mid-sized lunch and a small dinner. It will help keep your energy up and your body burning excess fat.

Charity Day

Clubhouse News

Jim O’Connor

Clubhouse Manager

I recently had the opportunity to take some continuing education courses, which were sponsored by the Club Managers Association of America. The seminars ranged from club boards and governance to budgeting and finance. The one area of particular interest to not only me, but the other club managers in attendance, was the role of technology and social media now and in the near future.

The first thing we talked about was websites and the importance of not only having a clear, concise website, but also one that is user friendly. The professor started the program with 10 different websites that all had prob-lems, either with misinformation, spelling errors or just funny mistakes. As we started looking at more, it be-came apparent, that each one of these websites was from somebody in the class. Afterward, I talked to him and asked if he had looked at all the websites and he said yes. He took his notes out and said, “Yours was actually one of the better ones I looked at.” I called Melissa immediately after class and told her nice work.

The second thing we looked at was social media, i.e. Facebook, Twitter and a new social media application built just for clubs called Clubster. When polled, about 30% of the class was using some sort of social media to get information to their Membership and of that 30%, they all agreed it was used and helpful to their mem-bers. I am not going to say it is right around the bend for us, but it will eventually come.

The last thing we looked at was technological advances in clubs. I am proud to say we are already ahead of the curve. As some of you have begun to notice, we have started using handheld point of sale devices. We have originally gone small scale in purchasing just one so far and have not found any real drawbacks. The idea is that a server will have an IPAD and as they go to the table they can immediately punch in the Member’s order and before they walk away that ticket gets sent either to the bar or kitchen. This eliminates the need to write the order down and then go to a workstation and ring the order in. We have also found that these devices work

great for large events such as Trivia and Friday nights. Servers can actually walk around and put in drinks for Members, the bartenders make the drinks, and then a busser runs the drinks to the Members. The cost of each handheld device is 75% less expensive than our current touch screen terminals.

As I struggle to keep my article short, I want to remind the Membership of two important points. First, please get all your holiday reservations in so we can start planning for the 2013 holiday season. Spaces fill up fast on all of our events. Second, and this is funny that we have to think about this already, but gift cards. If you have any prepaid gift cards, please remember to use them when you come up to the Club. Even if you forget to bring the cards with you when you are in, we can always look them up and charge them.

Thank you to the entire Membership that made the 2013 pool season a success and as of Oct 1, we only have 214 days until we open the pool snack bar.

Executive Chef

As many of you know, I am blessed with a wife who insists on growing just about all the vegetables we eat at our house. One of the many perks of living in this area is that you can actually grow a pretty wide variety of vegetables year round. The tough-est time for us is actually late summer. There are very few seedlings that can endure a late August/early September Bluffton heat wave. Another fact of growing in the same soil over and over is you periodically need to “reset” the soil. It just so happens black eyed peas are the perfect solution to both problems. We drop them in the ground in late August or early September and low and behold, come heat, come rain, come summer bugs, not only do they grow, but they fix the nutrient mix of the soil as they do. Our fall onions, lettuces, kale, and many other crops thrive in areas that as I write this, are covered in black eyes peas. I know what you’re thinking…. “this is a cooking article right?” Well yes, it is! The fact is, if you have an abundance of any fresh vegetable, you start to find different preparations for them so you don’t get tired of eating them. While I love a pot of stewed peas, there are so many other interesting things you can do with them. Don’t be afraid to substitute them in your mine-strone, your chili, or just blanch them and serve over a fresh salad. If you don’t grow them, don’t worry, the farmers market will be flush with them very soon. This black eyed pea hummus is a favorite at my house, usually served with grilled whole wheat pita triangles.
