General Manager Monthly Report

O

Membership Message

am happy to report that Membership has been a very busy department this past month! With our Guest Days, Pool Parties and other Special Events at our beautiful facilities, many people, both from Middle Georgia and elsewhere, highly desire to be a part of our Club. Based on many of the inquiries we have received, we have added a few new Membership options which I would like to tell you about. Social Members may add on a Practice Facility plan for $60 per month. This would allow unlimited use of the Driving Range as well as the Chipping and Putting Greens. Senior and Super Seniors may elect the

Silver Preview Membership, which is a 24 month commitment to monthly dues with NO INITIATION OR ANNUAL FEES.

These are in addition to our current Membership Options:

Gold Preview Membership: 36 month commitment to monthly dues; no annual or initiation fees. Annual Social Membership: 12 month commitment to monthly dues; annual fee applies. Annual Golf Membership: Full Membership with a 12 month commitment to monthly dues and an annual fee. Out of Town Membership: Full Membership available to those living outside a set parameter of local counties. Annual Corporate Membership: Annual fee applies for Corporation; no annual or initiation fees for each employee with 12 month commitment to dues. Junior Membership: For golfers age 12 to 20 with minimal monthly dues and a reduced Initiation Fee.

As a reminder, we currently have excellent Sponsorship Incentives as well. I am sure you will want to keep these in mind when you are considering Family, Friends or Colleagues that might be interested in learning more about Membership at the Brickyard at Riverside.

Sponsorship Incentives: -If a Member sponsors a Full Gold Preview Member, they receive a monthly $100 Food and Beverage credit for 12 months. For sponsor-ing any other Preview Membership, you receive $50 in above credit. These incentives are transferrable to the New Member, if desired. -If a Member sponsors a Full Silver Preview Member, they receive a monthly $50 Food and Beverage credit for 6 months. -If a Member sponsors 3 new Preview Members in 3 months, they may choose one of the following: 1 complimentary month of dues or 1 year of a Premier Wellness Center Membership.

Go ahead and get those referrals in for the Summer Membership Open House by contacting myself, Christina Raimo, at (478) 477-6765, Ext. 224 or by email to [email protected].

ur Club’s official summer season began with the opening of our SALT WATER pool and

youth summer camp and activities. Your hard-working team is dedicated, experienced and willing

to exceed in every way possible to continue offering you, your guests and family members with the

best service and a wide variety of activities. Please read our e-mails, newsletter, web site, and listen

to our weekly phone messages to take advantage of all the social, golf, and youth offered programs.

Christina Raimo, your Membership Services Coordinator, has made tremendous progress adding value into

our current membership services and as well an additional membership program for seniors and super seniors.

Our main initiative is to reinforce to our valued membership that we always require growth and replacement, which

is why we continue to ask each of you to provide Christina with names of friends who would enjoy the amenities

and services of the Brickyard.

Your entire Team Management is starting the planning process for Fiscal Year 2011/2012 goals, business

plan and budget. Each summer we meet to conduct a SFSWOT (successes, failures, strengths, weakness,

opportunities and threats) and formulate the Club’s Business Plan for October First, the start of the new Fiscal Year.

We must ensure that we know our members needs and wants to create initiatives which enhance membership enjoyment, raise the value of the membership, and attract new members. Please fell free to contact me at any time.

As always, I look forward to seeing you at The Brickyard.

Nate Wickline Head Golf Professional

une is here and that means the warmer temperatures

are here to stay. The grass on the course is growing

great and keeping us busy. With the growth of the

grass, that means we will be starting some of our

routine maintenance practices. We will be aerifying the

greens on Tuesday, May 31, weather permitting. Once

we have finished the greens we will do the tees and

collars. We always have that question, “Why do we

aerify when everything is growing great?” The grass

needs to be growing well so that the aerification holes

will fill in quickly. Aerification helps the plants in the

long run by removing thatch, and allowing water and

nutrients to get to the roots.

We strive to keep the course in tournament

condition year round, so please let us know if there are

any issues out there that we might not see. Feel free to

contact me at [email protected], any

time and I will gladly answer any questions

or concerns that you might have.

See you on the course,

Briane Faletto, Golf Course Superintendent

Landscape Tip of the Month

For those of us who love Roses, but do not like all the

maintenance needed to keep them healthy, there is an

alternative for your garden. Knockout Roses have

become very popular over the last few years because of

the ease of maintaining them. They come in a

variety of colors from pink, to red, white, yellow, and

purple. They have Regular Knockouts and Double

Knockouts. Their color is brilliant and strong and I love

them in the Garden. I have Red Knockouts with yellow

Daylilies planted in front of them in my garden at

home. I never have to do anything to them except make

sure they have water and an occasional pruning. They

are very easy to maintain. If you are not sure what they

look like, I have planted some here at The Brickyard.

The bed next to the parking lot with the three Cherry

trees is full of Knockouts, and also in the bed along the

roadside. All of them are the Red Knockouts.

Golf Tip of the Month

ast month’s pop quiz question asked, “Are

worm casts a loose impediment that may be

removed?” Rule 23-1/1 (Means by which loose

impediments may be removed) states that yes, loose

impediments may be moved by any means, except

that, in removing loose impediments on the line of

putt, the player must not press anything down.

This month’s pop quiz question asked; “If an insect is

on your ball may you remove the insect using your

fingers or blowing on it?”

Best wishes,

Michael Kitchens Assistant Golf Professional
