Now that summer is fully upon us, I hope that you are availing your-self to everything Greystone has to offer. We have all patiently waited for the monsoon season to subside so that we can enjoy our club.
If you have not noticed already, there have been some terrific improvements to both the adult and family pool. Also, with new Pool Grill equipment arriving in the next few days, you will soon be enjoying an expanded menu at the pool which should satisfy any appetite.
While enhancements have been taking place at the pool, other club areas are “dressed” and ready to go. Both golf courses are in terrific con-dition thanks to Jason Miller and his staff. Many of you enjoyed the courses with the completion of a fantastic Member-Guest during which Greystone hosted 128 teams at the Founders and Legacy Course. Congratulations to Wayne Graves & his guest Glen Hosey on winning the tourna-ment. Recognition would be incomplete without noting the service and dedication of our entire golf and food & beverage staff. Thanks to the Greystone Team for continuing to make this the premier Member-Guest in the Southeast.
For our tennis enthusiasts, I am sure you have noticed renovations in the Tennis Clubhouse including new carpet and painting.
Speaking of the Clubhouse, major changes are underway with the renovation of the Founders lower level. At this writing, the new fitness facili-ty is anticipated to open sometime in August. If you have not been by to take a look, it is shaping up to be a terrific facility. Stay tuned for an an-nouncement of our Grand Opening of the new Fitness Center. As the Fitness Center races to completion, the plans are already in place for the start of our new restaurant and bar. The artist’s renderings are absolutely spectacular and I am confident our membership will love this venue. Anticipated opening will be in the March 2016 timeframe.
The venerable 19th Hole will no longer be available when Founders restaurant construction begins in early August. To minimize inconvenience, the club will utilize a larger beverage cart stationed at the turn which will include all of the usual items plus sandwiches and hot dogs. In addition, we now have the window open at the golf operations center to purchase drinks and snacks before or during rounds.
Many of the improvements you see around the Club are due in part to a set of fresh, professional eyes. I would like to thank General Manager David Porter for his efforts in making Greystone even better.
I also wanted to take a moment to update and thank you for continuing to refer and recruit new members to our club. Membership growth has outpaced any year in the recent past and fewer members are electing to leave the club. This certainly reflects a healthy state of growth in our membership which we hope will continue as we build our world class facilities and enhance the overall experience when you come to the club. As always, if you know of individuals interested in membership, please have them contact Membership Director Ashley Fuentes, [email protected] or (205) 986-5146. Serve as a Greystone Ambassador and help integrate new and prospective members. Join us for the Ambassador Reception on July 22. Details on page 3.
Thank you once again for your patience as we finalize the fitness center and continue building for the future.
I look forward to seeing you at the Club.
[email protected] (205) 515-6599
Dear Members,
I hope you are having a great summer so far!
We are making significant progress with staff development and many new initiatives for improvement. Overall, I am very proud of the staff for embracing of the new culture. You will see more excitement, knowledge and on the spot decision making to enhance your experience at Greystone. Hopefully, you are starting to see a shift toward our development.
Thank you to all the members who came out to Fun Friday and welcomed me to Greystone! I look forward to meeting those of you who could not make it. We just may need to do it again!
We have implemented some exciting changes at the pool for the summer season! We have a new expanded menu, adult lounge in the family pool area to catch sporting
events, new portable bars, soft serve ice cream, improved maintenance, water basketball, palm trees for a tropical atmosphere and much more. Please come enjoy the day.
Over the month of July you will see new uniforms in each department. We are creating a more professional and synergized look for the staff. We will have clear standards for wearing and caring for the uniforms.
The Fitness Center project is coming to fruition and scheduled to open in August. The space looks amazing. In the coming weeks we will be offering construction tours for those of you that are curious before the grand opening. The new restaurant design is complete and the final plans are being developed for pricing. Once a contract is in place for the restaurant, we will share the fully designed renderings with you. The timing for the demolition to begin is early August. We will create alternatives for the turn when the 19th Hole is out of service.
Membership interest and growth continues. We are out pacing our budgeted membership numbers in new members and less resignations. Both are equally important to our plan. Some of our new initiatives include grass roots residential efforts and attracting retirees to the Birmingham area.
Our annual Fourth of July celebration is positioned to be one of the best yet. We have in-creased the seating, added another buffet, created additional activities for the kids, and hired a top notch band.
There are many positive changes on the rise as we progress through the summer months. I hope you have an opportunity to enjoy all of what the club has to offer.
As a reminder from last month’s article, our Staff Mission is “To Create Positive Memorable Experiences for Members and their Guests during Each Visit to the Club.” Our Staff Vision is “To develop all Members into Raving Fans!”
I am looking forward to getting to know each you.
Warmest Regards,
David W. Porter, CCM General Manager [email protected] | (205) 986-5148

MAPLE BACON ICE CREAM
By Chef Daniel Mitchell
The Iron Bowl has nothing on the competition that I witnessed on March 27th in the kitchens at Greystone. With direction from Dave Porter, we put on the first annual Greystone Culinary Challenge. The staff did a fantastic job with plates ranging from southern sushi to scallops & hand-rolled pasta to dumplings, sous vide, pork belly, jicama slaw and everything in-between. Even though I may have seen a little more kitchen energy today than normal, I’m proud of the effort and passion this team brings to work day in and day out.
The prizes they were seeking are a Greystone menu spot with their award-winning dish.
The three finalists were Andrea Holder, Haley Johnson and Kelsie Bunt. Andrea
prepared empanadas three ways with sriricha dipping sauce. Haley put out pork & beef
dumplings with potato strings and Kelsie made an orange mascarpone cheesecake with
chocolate flourless cake and raspberry sauce. You will definitely be tasting these dishes
soon at the club. The overall winner was Rashad Holmes, first year student at UAB who
has only been cooking for a short time, yet shows years of experience. His winning plate
consisted of a fried homemade honey bun with vanilla glaze and bacon maple ice cream.
This dessert is destined to be a Greystone signature item and will satisfy many members
and guests for years to come.
MONEY BUNS
Fried Honey Buns with
Maple Bacon Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
2 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/3 cup, warm water
1 cup, whole milk, room temp
8 oz. unsalted softened butter
3 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5-6 cups, all-purpose flour
Cinnamon sugar, pinch
Icing:
2 cups, confectioners’ sugar
½ cup whole milk (approx.)
PROCEDURE
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the
yeast and water, let sit for 5 minutes
until foamy, set aside. In an electric
mixer combine the milk, butter, eggs,
honey, salt & vanilla. Mix with wire
whip on medium speed until
thoroughly mixed. Add the yeast
mixture and continue mixing for 1
minute. Switch the whip to the
dough hook attachment, reduce
speed to low and add four cups of
flour. After the flour is combined,
raise speed to medium and continue
kneading. Then add remaining flour,
½ cup at a time, until dough releases
from side of the bowl. Raise speed
to medium high & knead for 10 mins.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured
surface and knead dough until very
smooth. Transfer dough to a lightly
oiled bowl, cover with plastic & set
aside in a warm draft free spot until
dough doubles in size. This should
take about 1 hour.
In a separate small mixing, mix the
powdered sugar and milk until a
thick icing is formed.
Punch down dough on to a lightly
floured surface & divide into 3
portions. Roll each portion into a
ball. Roll out each ball into a 10”x13”
rectangle & about ½ inch thick.
Brush lightly with honey & lightly
sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Start-
ing on 1 side, roll the dough into a
log shape. Pinch along the seam to
seal & cut into nine 1½” thick slices.
Carefully put each slice into a 350
degree deep fryer for approximately
4 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While still warm, sprinkle with
cinnamon sugar and top with icing.
Garnish with a scoop of maple
bacon ice cream.
YIELD: 9 SERVINGS
The mixture should be thick enough to coat
a spoon. Stir in maple syrup, transfer to a
bowl & refrigerate until cold. Stir in heavy
cream. Pour mixture into ice cream maker.
Stir in bacon brittle (recipe below). Follow
ice cream maker instructions.
Bacon Brittle:
Grease a sheet pan, set aside. Cook
bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat
until crisp. About 5 minutes per side. Transfer
to a paper towel to drain. Finely chop
bacon. In another sauce pan, melt sugar
over medium heat, stirring constantly until
color turns golden. Cook another 2 minutes
until light amber color. Remove from heat &
immediately stir in butter and bacon bits.
Pour mixture on to greased sheet pan and
let cool until set. This should take about 15
minutes. Smash the brittle into small pieces.
YIELD: 1 quart
Ice cream:
3 large egg yolks
¼ cup, granulated sugar
A pinch of kosher salt
1 cup, whole milk
1 cup, maple syrup
2 cups, heavy cream
Bacon Brittle:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 strips, smoked bacon
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
PROCEDURE
Ice Cream base:
In a medium mixing bowl, whip together
the yolks, sugar and salt until pale yellow
in color. Transfer to a sauce pan and
whisk in the milk over medium heat.
Cook over med heat, constantly stirring
until simmering.

This event is held in memory of Lori Johnson and 13,000 other women who die each year of ovarian cancer. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Norma Livingston Ovarian Cancer Foundation (NLOCF) for research. To date, NLOCF has donated over $1,000,000 to ovarian cancer research with a majority of those funds going to the Gynecologic Oncology Department at UAB.
Save the O’s is a celebration of ovarian cancer survivors and a way to honor the memory of the many women we have lost to this disease. Friends and families come together dressed in teal in honor and in memory of these courageous women for a fun walk/run and community event. This family friendly event will feature the race, a silent auction, live music, food, and a pool party after the race. See you on August 29th.

We are having such an amazing summer! A little rainy, yes, but it has seemed to visit us more at night and that is ideal by this AquaGirl’s standards.
1) This May we reached 1,959 visits which made it the third busiest May for us ever. Your support of the pools showed, especial-ly with the new Pool Grill menu & standards because our income actually grew by 18% making it the highest income for May EVER! Thank you for supporting your club!
2) We’ve registered 86 swimmers on the swim team & got our first mascot: “GARY!” I hope you’ve met him, the beloved new team member.
3) Let’s set an attend-ance record on July 4th! The Pools will be open from 10am-6pm. Please feel free to bring your own lounge chair as we anticipate a large crowd. We’ll have DJ Chuck spinning beats, games, contests, and a poolside cookout from 12-3pm.

Beginning August 10th, we will be closed weekdays and the Pool Grill will switch to a limited menu for weekends. Adults may continue to use the Adult Pool until September 30th, provided that they have completed a Waiver of Liability for use during non-operational/un-staffed hours. Guest Use of Pools Please remember that non-dependents of the member (nieces/nephews, cousins, aunt/uncles, grandchildren, parents/grandparents, etc.) are considered Guests and will be charged the $5 guest fee. Only a member’s immediate dependent under the age of 26 (sons & daughters) may utilize the Pools for no charge. Ages 26 & up must be accompanied by the member or by an immediate dependent of the member and will be charged the $5 guest fee. All Guest Fees are charged regardless if the Guest swims since it is a “Facility Fee” and not a “Swimming Fee.”
GO GREEN! GO GATORS! Head Coach Jenna Petrocchi and Assistant Coach Alan Parsons have been leading a very fun-filled summer swim team! It’s been so rewarding seeing all the 5 & 6 year olds learning all of the strokes and getting over their fears. Plus the older kids have been getting great workouts that are conditioning them for their primary sports like Lacrosse, Football, Tennis, Gymnastics, Soccer and Baseball. As of late June, the Gators are UNDEFEATED against other local summer teams. In June, the team took trips to the Carmike Movie Theater & Skates 280. In July, we’ll be going bowling and to TreeTop Adventures! Please note that the Family Pool & Baby Mushroom Pool will close at 2pm on Tuesday, July 7th and 14th for our last 2 home meets, at which point the Adult Pool will open for all ages. The Gators are getting excited about the Senior County Championship Meet on August 1st & 2nd at the Birmingham Crossplex too! It’s a privilege to qualify and we encourage those that do to go and compete and represent Greystone. Team-mates that do not qualify are encouraged to go cheer as spectators. Please visit the Greystone website, greystonecc.com to view our Meet & Social schedule for the remainder of July. On Sunday, August 16th, the team will be celebrating their successful summer with our Awards Banquet. More details will be available via e-Gator News.

What it takes to be great
As we look around each and every day, there are things that stand head and shoulders above the rest. For most, it’s the things that you enjoy. It might be as small as getting a cup of your favorite coffee during the day or going to your favorite place for lunch. We have a tendency to forget about all of the time and effort that went into creating those specialties. These things just don’t happen on their own, there is a lot of trial and error involved as well as a dedicated person trying to make it great. One thing you can always count on is desire and effort. I often think about Tiger Woods when he was in his prime. The amount of time and effort he put in to his golf game. It was said that it took Tiger six months to make a small swing change to where he could actu-ally repeat it and then count on it in competition. SIX MONTHS. That is dedication to greatness.
Greystone should be no different. We have first class golf courses, a state of the art teaching facili-ty, and award-winning golf shops. Not to mention a brand new state of the art fitness facility coming this summer.
If we want to be considered great, it’s going to take all of us pulling in the same direction. Our club isn’t great just because of its impeccable courses. It’s having great Members and Staff who truly care about making the club special. The one thing you can always count on is an effort to make the golf experience special.
One person that really sticks out in my mind is Rick Corbett and his dedication to the Greystone Invitational Tournament. He has worked the 10th tee for years as a Starter helping make this a great tournament. Dale Gorham (2015 Tournament Chair) has worked alongside Bob Sligh year after
year giving countless hours of computer support on their own time to make the Greystone Invitational great. The list goes on with people who help score the event, marshal, spot golf balls, and post scores. Additionally, we have members and residents who open their homes to the college age players. Special thanks to Cyndi Smith and Kiki Kartos for coordinating this year’s housing program.
There are many ways to support your club. For instance,
Hosting a corporate meeting or golf event.
Supporting your golf shops by purchasing from Greystone where 100% of the proceeds go directly back to Greystone.
Taking lessons from Greystone’s elite golf instruction team.
Next year will be my 20th year at Greystone and the changes that I have seen over the years have been monumental. I can say that I have never been more proud of my club than I am right now. With the Regions Tradition coming next year, we will continue to climb the ladder of greatness.
We thank you for giving us the opportunity to create positive memorable experiences for you and your guests during each visit to Greystone.

The Greystone Performance Center powered by the Blackburn Golf Academy has had a very successful summer so far with students winning events at every level. Our juniors have won BGA events, members have won club championships and professional clients have notched victories. Our PGA Junior League Team has become competitive and our monthly coach-ing programs continue to grow. We also add new teaching technologies and develop better golf performance processes each month at the GPC, with the goal of improving your golf game more effectively. If you’ve not had the opportunity to come experience the GPC facility, please know you’re welcome to drop in anytime for a tour or just to chat about your golf game!
Do you want to add some distance to your drives? Through the Blackburn Golf Academy’s relation-ship with Titleist and FootJoy, the GPC is now part of a select pilot program focused on golf shoe fitting to optimize your swing speed. By utilizing our BodiTrak pressure plate technology we can analyze your swing in your current shoes and also then in shoes that are biomechanically optimal for you to swing the club as fast as possible, based on your unique ground reaction forces. We have a variety of FJ shoe types so you can see the power of this process and the distance it can add to your driving. You can schedule your shoe fitting any-time through any of the Blackburn Golf staff.
Our Scotty Cameron Studio Showcase is now fully stocked with the complete line of 2015 putters available for you to try. These beautifully crafted pieces are available in traditional styles and in the new counter balanced designs proving popular with college and professional players.
Utilizing the SAM Puttlab, we can find the perfect style putter to match your stroke and tendency on the greens. Our Aimpoint Express green reading classes are also a great way to improve your putting statistics mastering the skills necessary to become a proficient green reader. We offer those classes twice a month
in a group setting or individually by appointment.
The FREE weekly Clinics at Founders and Legacy are gaining popularity and provide a wonder-
ful setting to master some simple concepts and learn to practice effectively under the supervision of the Blackburn Academy teachers. Please con-tinue to send in your requests to Mason, Brian or myself for specific areas of the game you would like to understand and work on.
We’re pleased to announce the Junior Club Championship will be hosted by Blackburn Golf Staff on August 4th & 5th utilizing both the Founders and Legacy courses. We really encourage all our juniors to participate with different age divisions and course setups to provide a fun experience for all those who want to play. A great way to prepare for this event is our Summer Camp July 14th-16th when students will receive coaching in all aspects of the game including on course scoring simulations. Sign up details for the Camp and Junior Club Championship will come out in the weekly Enews.
We look forward to seeing you at the GPC to work on your game soon.
