To My Friends – The Membership of Cattail Creek Country Club,
It seems time has been flying by since the announcement of my
resignation to accept the position of General Manager at Baltimore Yacht
Club. Over the past few weeks, I have tried to stop from time to time and
reflect on my years at Cattail. My life has moved forward, both personally
and professionally, so much over the last five years; it is truly hard to
believe it has gone by so quickly. As I look back, I will fondly remember
these years at Cattail, just as much as I do my first term of employment
at Cattail, back in 2001 to 2003.
Thank you to all the Members who have stopped me over the past few
days to share their memories with me. I have worked very hard every
day to make Cattail an enjoyable place for the Membership, their families,
and Guests. It’s been so nice to hear about the special moments that
will not soon be forgotten. It has been my pleasure being a part of, and
helping you plan and enjoy, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and the
holidays throughout the years.
I also want to mention how enjoyable it has been to work with, and
be a part of, the best management team in the industry. They have
all helped me become better along the way. One of my main goals
when coming to Cattail was to put together a service team that would
focus on an enjoyable dining and club experience. One of my proudest
accomplishments is the low staff turnover during the last few years. In fact,
the first employee I hired, Amanda Upchurch, is still working on Cattail’s
staff. All of the staff is special to me and their efforts have helped me to
make Cattail not only a great place for the Membership to be, but also a
wonderful place to work.
The majority of my career has been spent at Cattail, and it will always
be a special place for me. I look forward to staying in touch and hearing
about the wonderful things going on at a great Club in the small town of
Glenwood, Maryland. I am looking forward to the next step in my career
and Cattail has been an integral part of preparing me for this move. I
wish you all the best, and welcome you to stop in at Baltimore Yacht Club
whenever you are passing by.
Please feel free to reach me at [email protected] in the future.
Cheers!
Scott Lockwood

Membership
Where does everyone park?Cattail staff directs parking for the event and
cross-checks those arriving against the master
registration list. Members and guests who live
nearby are encouraged to walk if possible.
Carpooling is also encouraged. Once the
parking lots and dedicated overflow areas
are full, cars are lined on the grass along our
driveway.
Where does everyone sit?Members bring their lawn chairs and blankets
to set on the grassy area near the tennis courts,
behind the Clubhouse, and near the back
putting green. Many tables are set on the back
lawn, and under a giant tent that is erected
by the pond, in addition to the tables that are
always on the Lower Patio. All tables are used
as open seating as Members and guests dine.
Does the cost of the event count towards my food minimum?The majority of the cost of this event goes
towards the fireworks and entertainment, and
therefore, this is one of our few events that
does not count towards your quarterly food
minimum requirement.
What is the cancellation policy?Due to the magnitude of this event, a 72-hour
cancellation policy is followed. Reservations for
any person or group that are cancelled within
72-hours of the event will incur a 50% charge;
no-show reservations will be billed 100%.
Are the golf and tennis daytime events separate from the party?Yes. Both golf and tennis offer tournaments
earlier in the day that are linked to the
Anniversary Party & Fireworks, but they
are separate events and require separate
registration on the website.
I am bringing an elderly guest or someone in a wheelchair; is there special seating for them?The Clubhouse is open during the entire event,
and anyone who would benefit from being
in the air-conditioning, or from watching the
fireworks from the veranda, is welcome to do
so. As there is limited space in the Clubhouse,
it is asked that only those who truly need to
utilize this indoor option do so.
Can I reserve a table?All tables, both outdoors and in the Clubhouse,
are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and may
not be reserved. The tables are meant to be
used for dining, and turn over multiple times
throughout the party. Members are asked to
bring lawn chairs and blankets to set on the
grassy area for actual viewing of the fireworks
and for casual seating throughout the party.
What happens if it rains?It won’t!
...but if it does, and it is to the extent that the
event can’t go on, the party will be held the
following day, Sunday, June 30.
Are the kids games included in the cost?Yes!! All entertainment is included! Take
advantage of the dunk tank, rock climbing,
balloon animals, face painting, and crafts just as
much as your heart desires!
How early do I have to arrive to avoid check-in lines?Wristbands are used to gain entrance to the
party and must be worn at all times during
the event. The Club offers advance wristband
pick-up beginning three days prior to the event,
and most Members take advantage of the early
wristband pick-up to avoid the lines. This makes
the check-in line on the day of the event, very
reasonable.
Is alcohol included in the cost?Only non-alcoholic beverages are included. Alcoholic drinks are by signature. The entrance wristbands designate those who are over the age of 21. Even with a wristband, the Club’s bartenders may ask for picture identification from those who appear to be younger than 25 years old.
What is on the menu? Someone in my party has an allergy or special dietary need; can it be accommodated?Absolutely! Please note your guest’s name and special dietary needs in the comments box in your online registration so that Chef Tom can plan accordingly. He will contact you prior to the event if there are any questions and a manager will let you know which items on the buffet to stay away from.

Golf
I am definitely not the most tech-savy individual, and most anyone can attest to that, but I do I have an iPhone! I use it primarily for calls, emails, and texts, but I do have a handful of apps, too. Of course I use Facebook, The Weather Channel, and so on... and I do have quite a few apps that are golf related, too. Many of you may have some of these already, but if not, check them out!
Cattail Creek Mobile Site
I definitely use our mobile app on more than a regular basis! From accessing the tee sheet to scheduling lessons for Ricky to viewing registrants for golf events, this information is never more than a log-in away. In addition to golf related interactions, you can also make a Restaurant or Tennis Court reservation, check out the Club Calendar and register for a special event, read the Green
Blog, and even access the Member Directory.
Getting the app on your iPhone is easy. Navigate to www.cattailcreekcc.com in your web browser. Then click the share button (it looks like a square with an arrow in it) at the bottom of the screen. Select "add to home screen" and a button will appear with our logo on your phone that will direct you to our mobile site in one touch.
V1 Golf Swing Analysis
This app is the same software that is used in the teaching bay in our Learning Center. V1 is a golf program that allows players and golf instructors the ability to capture and analyze golf swings. The app gives you the ability to compare your swing with PGA Tour Professionals like Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, Fred Couples, Karrie Webb, and a host of others. After capturing footage of your swing, you can play it back in slow motion and look at it frame by frame. The program allows you to compare, overlay, flip, and zoom in on your swings while utilizing a host of different teaching tools. Additionally, you can store your swings, email screenshots, and share your swings with friends and family. This app is definitely a must for a golf swing junkie!
MSGA GolfLife
This is another very handy golf app to have. The Maryland State Golf Assocation, in conjunction with GolfNet, allows Cattail Members the ability to access their handicap remotely. From here, you can post scores, view your scoring history, check on your handicap trend, and edit incorrectly posted scores. Your access information is the same as that for your login at www.msganetwork.org. If you do not have a handicap or do not know your username or password, please contact a member of the Golf Professional staff. This app will also give you the ability to look up another golfer's handicap index, find golf courses throughout the US, and calculate your handicap for another golf course.
The Golf Channel
This app easily allows me to stay on top of all things new in golf. You can read articles and opinions from the writers at the Golf Channel and stay connected with news in the golf industry. Within the news section, you can check out videos, tune up with instructional material, access a host of photo galleries, and even sneak a peek at the equipment insider. This application also gives you up to date leaderboards for the week's events on the PGA, European, LPGA, Champions, Web.com, and other professional golf tours. If that isn't enough, you can even listen to The Golf Channel's Morning Drive live!
Cattail's WDCGA Golf TeamsJUDY HOGARTY, MEMBER [CCWGA TWILIGHT LEAGUE CHAIR]
This year, Cattail Creek has two women’s teams participating in the Women’s District of Columbia Golf Association (WDCGA). Founded in 1924, participating clubs were Chevy Chase, Columbia, Indian Spring and Washington Golf and Country Club. Over the years, that list of clubs has grown to number 30, and now includes Congressional, Bethesda, Manor, Woodmont, Trump National, and TPC Potomac, to name just a few.
Through an active schedule of team matches, individual and team tournaments, championships, and a junior golfing program, the WDCGA fosters golf competence, sportsmanship and camaraderie among its members, while supporting the great game of golf in the Washington D.C. area.
Weekly team matches run from early April to late May. Special thanks to Bob Wampler and the Golf Professional Staff, who sponsored a special clinic for the teams in late March; a practice round was held in early April. Our first matches took place last week; points accrue on a cumulative basis over the two months of play. Win or lose, cheer on your home teams!
There's an app for that too!NIC FLICKINGER [FIRST ASSISTANT GOLF PROFESSIONAL]

RICKY'S TIP: Visualize!RICKY SERRANO [DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTION]
The best players utilize visualization to improve their performance. It is well known that the body cannot tell the difference between reality and imagination. Therefore, visualizing your shot will help the body perform. It is vital for peak performance!
In golf, there are two ways you can visualize. The first is to play the shot in your mind from the moment the ball leaves the clubface, to the point it reaches its flight, and to where it lands and hits the ground. The second is to actually see yourself swinging and feeling the shot.
You won't always get the result you visualize, but studies show that if you can keep extraneous mental activity out of the way, the body will create the result you are looking for.
So my tip to you for the next time you are hitting balls is to...
SEE the shot, FEEL IT, and EXECUTE IT.
TYSON'S RULE OFTHE MONTHTYSON McFARLAND [ASSISTANT GOLF PROFESSIONAL]
At this years’ Master’s there was a controversial ruling involving Tiger Woods. The controversy stemmed from Woods taking an incorrect drop after his original ball found the water hazard. This is a great opportunity to review what our options are when we hit a ball into a water hazard!
Tiger was in violation of rule 27-1 when he did not drop his ball as nearly as possible to the spot from which the original ball was played. He also did not exercise his other options as well, and was susceptible to a penalty, or possible disqualification.
If a ball is found in a water hazard or if it is known or virtually certain that a ball is in the water hazard (whether the ball lies in water or not), the player may, under penalty of one stroke:
a. Proceed under the stroke and distance provision of Rule 27-1 by playing a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (see Rule 20-5); or
b. Drop a ball behind the water hazard, keeping the point at which the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind the water hazard the ball may be dropped; or
c. As additional options available only if the ball last crossed the margin of a lateral water hazard, drop a ball outside the water hazard within two club-lengths of, and not nearer the hole than (i) the point where the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard or (ii) a point on the opposite margin of the water hazard equidistant from the hole.
When proceeding under this rule, the player may lift and clean his ball or substitute a ball.

Rally Report: All Members Think Pink!
Sensed some extra energy in the air at the Club recently? That’s because Cattail is ramping up for its major fundraising effort, 'Rally for the Cure,' on Sunday, May 19. We’re “partying with a purpose” in hopes of surpassing our $10,000 fundraising goal for the Susan G. Komen Foundation!
This year, we’re taking this traditionally golf-only event and integrating with several other areas and groups at the Club to show that Cattail cares! Look for pink “surprises” leading up to the big day, including Pink Plate Specials created by Chef Tom, new pink apparel in the Golf Shop, and unique donation/sponsorship opportunities for anyone interested in participating. It's not too late to be a sponsor (holes, banners, drink carts) or to donate materials for some unique raffles — contact Member, Stephanie Nucci at [email protected] for more details.
Starting at 1:00 p.m. on the big day, we’ll have a 4-Person, 18-Hole Scramble, a fun and easy format open to ALL Members. Sign up with friends, or have the Golf Professional Staff pair you up. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to win, including Best Pink Team, Longest Drive, and Closet to Pin competitions. We'll also provide lots of unique donation opportunities, including the purchase of:
• Ribbons recognizing anyone touched by this disease
• Pink rope to improve putts
• Tee Off for the Taa-Taas by the Golf Professionals
...and much, much more!
Don't miss out on a great day of giving, gratitude, fun and golf!Sign up today at www.cattailcreekcc.com/calendar.

GREEN REPORTCHRIS HARRIMAN [GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT]
Spring has finally graced us with its presence; it has been a slow start to the growing season. Dry weather and cool temperatures have not been the norm in April and May throughout the past few years, but these conditions are much more favorable than soaking wet, hot, and muggy. The Golf Course has finally filled in from aeration and conditions are on the way to their peak.
The rough is hitting its stride but it is still easy to notice that some areas are taller than others and some voids are still present. These areas remain mostly ryegrass. The ryegrass grows quickly in the spring compared to the grass we have been promoting in the rough (turf type tall fescue). This fast growth of the ryegrass is only upward, so the voids from past disease and drought stress remain from years past. The ten or so acres
of renovated or sodded turf type tall fescue rough remains thick, consistent, and creates a fair challenge to escape from. Our primary focus this fall will be to integrate more tall fescue into our roughs. This will be done through sodding green surrounds, applying Round Up to some areas, and re-seeding, as well as simple overseeding to outer lying areas.
Speaking of seed, it is easy to notice the ugly seedheads of the Poa annua on our greens. The short game area is the worst culprit, housing each and every seed that is brought in from outside courses. For the most part we have been able to keep the Golf Course sufficiently clean of Poa annua. Throughout the season, we use growth regulators to limit Poa annua movement and germination. In the fall, we use clean bentgrass plugs from the nursery to replace entire Poa plants. The fight against Poa annua will forever be ongoing. You will start to notice now, since the Poa plant has produced a seedhead, using a significant amount of resources, that the plant will start to turn purple and get smaller. This is a product of nature combined with our
utilization of growth regulators and working to promote bentgrass over Poa annua.
The following are golf cart parameters set by the Green Department and Green Committee. It is important that all Members work together to follow cart path rules to help ensure your safety and the quality of the Golf Course.
Cart traffic is restricted to the path on holes 4, 5, 6, 12 and all par 3’s. Architecturally, these holes cannot support normal cart traffic and have pinch points that canwear out quickly.
Carts are not permitted in the rough and mounded areas. Focus cart traffic in the fairways.
The brown posts indicate the last possible point as to where you should retreat back to the cart path. They do not call for a cart to drive right next to them and make a sharp turn towards the path.
Most importantly, scatter your cart traffic. You are driving on a living plant. By scattering your traffic (not driving in a worn area) you are increasing the chances a certain area will be consistent with the rest of the Course, and you are lessening work for the Green Department.
Finally, each and every Member should be an advocate for the Course! Everyone should be able to follow these parameters and also help communicate them to Guests and other Members who may be concentrating more on how to make a triple bogey than where to drive their cart. The Golf Course thanks you!

Chris had a bit of help on this month's article!
This Poa annua on #10 has used a lot of carbohydrates to produce seedheads. Weekly plant growth regulator applications will help constrict growth until the weed is plugged out in the fall.

Why do you work out? How do you work out?
If I asked someone to tell me why they work out, I could get a lot of different answers. They could include losing weight, getting stronger, playing better tennis or golf, running faster, having better quality of life, and some even want to gain weight! If you take a couple of minutes and actually set some goals based on your own answers to that question, you might see that how you work out isn't helping you achieve those goals. So how do you work out? Some have been doing the same routine for years with little to no variation, while some work out very hard during every visit to the gym with little progress toward their fitness goals.
One common example is an exerciser who wants to trim up or lose weight and all they do is aerobic exercise. They leave the gym sweaty and tired, and now have a much more efficient cardiovascular system and have burned off a few calories. But week after week goes by, and while there is some progress it does not equate to the effort that is put into every workout. If they look at why, and how, they work out, a better approach might be to add in some strength training movements which would help increase muscle mass (which in turn needs energy to maintain itself and leads to a higher metabolism). So now after their workouts, that new muscle is burning calories for them throughout the whole day, helping them to lose weight.
Take a couple minutes and think of why and how you work out. In the Fitness Center we have a variety of ways to improve your aerobic capacity, muscular endurance and strength, flexibility, balance and body composition. Try something new next time you visit the gym; more than likely it will help with your overall health and fitness goals.

New Fitness CenterAccess Procedure
On Tuesday, May 7, a new touchpad system will be installed at
the Fitness Center access door. A signed Fitness Center Release form is still mandatory before being able to gain access and to use the equipment. The touchpad system has been programmed to allow access for all of those who have already signed a release form. Members will use a 5-digit code to gain access: The code for all Golf Members will begin with a 5 followed
by their 4-digit Member number, using 0’s as placeholders if necessary.
Example: Golf Member number 88 would enter 5-0-0-8-8
The code for all Social Members will begin with a 3 followed by their 4-digit Member number, using 0’s as placeholders if necessary.
Example: Social Member number 251 would enter 3-0-2-5-1
If you have not yet signed a release form, but would like to use the Fitness Center, please contact the Membership Department.
We kindly ask that Members return their old key fobs to the Club by dropping them in the envelope with your monthly statement payment. Though we are unable to issue credits for the key fobs, we hope to possibly use them again in the future in other capacities.

• You must complete one match each week scheduled at the convenience of you and your opponent. We will make up the league schedule so you will know which opponent you will be playing each week.
• Players contact their opponents each week and set up a convenient time to play their match.

• The top 4 players in the challenger round robin will advance to the championship round.
• Cattail Creek Challenger League results and standings will be posted weekly.

TIM'S TIP OF THE MONTH:THE GOOD, BAD, & UGLY ARE ALL IMPORTANT IN TENNISTIM HALTER [HEAD TENNIS PROFESSIONAL]
As a tennis coach teaching with repetition, I look for certain signs in players that show me they are improving. A definite indication of improvement is when a player's bad shots begin to go in the court a higher percentage of the time. Strange, huh? Of course, I would also like to see players hit some nice, fluent, classic shots that go in, but I know that when the bad shots are going in, a change has occurred. The player is unconsciously developing a feel for the racket face.
A better bad shot? Think of the apparent oxymoron this way. Months before, this same player was missing shots because the ball was too close to him, the ball was slightly too far away, or he had poor mechanics. Most people would think he must correct all of these ugly problems before he can start making the shots. But now, months later, that player is making these same shots by unconsciously manipulating the racket face. The repetition has given him a better feel of the racket face, and he can perform more spontaneously when necessary. That is big-time improvement!
I know players who practice to hit the perfect shot, especially those players who do not play at a high level and are still in the learning process. To them, all poor shots mean they did something wrong. Anything short of perfection is just not right and needs an overhaul. But as they improve and their poor shots or their not-quite-perfect shots go in a higher percentage of the time, they finally understand this is part of the game. A player must feel his way through a match with good mechanical shots and an arsenal of not-so-good mechanical shots.
When enough practice has been performed, both the good and the not-so-good shots are both connected to a feel. Watch the pros. Really, watch the pros closely and you will see what I am describing. There are not very many perfect swings. Yes, there is a high percentage of perfect results, but those perfect results are hooked to many not-so-perfect shots. The pros are calculating unconsciously, on the spot, and at rocket speed. Whatever they must do to get the ball back, they just do it! Full swings, half swings, partial swings, no swings, whatever! That is the beauty and the fun of the game. Spontaneity through preparation.
Recently, one of my players was breaking through to a more spontaneous level of play. I asked her during that time if she was performing everything correctly. She said she did not have the faintest idea. Everything was just happening! I told her she was doing some mechanics right and other mechanics wrong, but it did not matter. Some of the very shots she was missing months ago, the ones she thought needed correcting, were now part of the spontaneous mix.
If you do not have a spontaneous mix and you think only in terms of good shots, it is time to rethink. Start thinking like a pro. There is no time to waste; the sooner you put the good, the bad and the ugly into one spontaneous mix, the sooner your game will be cooking!
JUNIOR SPOTLIGHT
Member, Jordan Portner started playing tennis when he was eight years old. Starting out, he participated in a few junior clinics and liked to hit with his Dad, but when Joe Mattingly came to Cattail in 2004, Jordan found his first real “coach.” Joe took notice of Jordan’s lefty strokes and mind for the game. It was a great partnership that shortly led Jordan to his first Maryland State Championship in the Boys 10. He joined the Junior Tennis Champions Center at College Park in middle school, and has trained there ever
since then, with Joe remaining as a great mentor to Jordan and his family along the way. He has won many State, Mid-Atlantic and National tournaments and is the defending Maryland High School MIAA Singles Champion. Last year, he led Mount St. Joseph to its first MIAA Team Championship in decades. Jordan
was heavily recruited by the Georgetown Hoyas and is looking forward to starting his Division I career!
