In March, we saw all 4 seasons; winter, spring, summer and some fall!! Excited to see the upcoming forecast is a little more conducive to this time of year. Summer is right around the corner and we will be having a lot of fun events. The Matt Mason Concert is Saturday May 11th so be sure to get your tickets early. This will be our Kick-Off to Summer Party.

We are excited to announce Saturday Steak Night, starting this month. Two for $35 Steaks include your choice of Filet or Ribeye, two side choices and house or ceasar salad. We will be featuring Steak Night EVERY Saturday.

Message From Chef Martin…..

With the crazy weather we have experienced this season; Bobby, Charles and I will be visiting local Farmer’s Produce Markets to find some of the

freshest fruits and vegetables around. We want to support the local community as well as providing the highest quality food to you.

With this being said, jalapeno peppers are in season and what better

way to showcase one of our signature dishes. For starters, Chef Charles will be creating a new appetizer. Bacon Wrapped Brisket Stuffed

Jalapenos. This appetizer is full of smoked brisket and cream cheese stuffed into a whole jalapeno and wrapped in bacon.

Jalapeno Cheddar Shrimp & Grits will be my signature dish this month. Roasted jalapenos, sharp cheddar cheese, grits, garlic sautéed shrimp and topped with a Cajun Veloute. Each month I will be featuring new

signature dishes.

I look forward to seeing you at the Club,

Chef Martin

Annual Silver Tees Low Ball Partnership

May 3 – 5 , 2019

Make plans to play.

Headley’s Hints: by Pro Adam Headley

Each month I will provide some helpful tips on how to approach each hole for maximum scoring. Happy Golf!

HOLE #9

How to Play Hole #9

#9 is one of my favorite holes at Hillcrest. The

green on #9 is very receptive to a good shot.

However, playing from the fairway makes it

much easier to control your spin and distance.

Make sure your tee ball can get to the corner

but not too far as hitting off of the side slopes

makes the second shot difficult. If you prefer

to favor one side of the fairway, favor the left

as everything tends to kick right. While the

green is very receptive it is best to stay below

the hole as anything above the hole can get

pretty fast most days.

Good Golfing!

Dear Members,

Winter has finally passed and we are now back in the business of growing grass! The first aerification is complete and I’m happy with the results. We pulled 6” X 3/8” cores and used roughly 50 tons of good greens grade sand to fill those holes. We will continue solid tine (1/8 inch “pencil” tine) every other week. On the weeks we don’t pencil tine, we will verticut and lightly topdress. Continuing these processes weekly, will allow us to be more precise and delicate with thatch removal, while still expecting the best results for increased greens health and playability. The fairways are starting to green up! This first week of April we will give them their first cut. The mower will be lowered to clean up the dormant look and allow more sunlight to the new shoots. The traffic control rope is removed and 1 and 3 will be next. 10 will remain roped off for the first 200 yards for several more weeks. The pond fountain is in and landscape lighting will be connected soon. Be sure to drop by the dining room and check out the after sunset view! Landscape goals this month too. The last week in April, just to make sure we don’t have any late freezes. Another big project starting soon is stump grinding. Happy Golfing! Daren Hazel Hillcrest Course Superintendent

Kathy’s Tennis Report

Greetings Tennis Players,

Many thanks to Daren Hazel and his crew for helping the tennis staff get the courts and grounds nearby ready for the UTR Tournament we held during Spring Break.

They did a fabulous job and it is much appreciated.

This month’s newsletter gives some good information on getting hydrated with pickle juice. You may have tried it. I have and have had good results to stop

cramping. According to a recent article in Sports Illustrated, Frances Tiafoe was playing Grigor Dimitroz in the Australian Open in January when his body started failing. He started downing pickle juice during changeovers and it saved him.

There are many athletes who swear by it. NHL player Blake Coleman drinks 16 ounces before each game. In fact, he now has his own line of pickle juice for sale, P20. It is not completely clear why pickle juice relives cramps but like traditional sports drinks, it contains high concentrations of sodium and potassium. Studies have shown that pickle juice actually provokes a neurological reflex that prevents

muscles from cramping.

We have had some beautiful weather for tennis lately and have had a lot of impressive doubles play going on each Saturday and Sunday.

See you on the Courts,

Kathy
