PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
- Les Boyd
It has been such an exciting summer to see all the activity at the club. I believe the Club truly
is the “Buzz” of the town. It is so great to see our dining facilities full and the quality of food has
been out of this world. I would like to personally recognize Chef Steve and his wonderful team
that have lifted the experience in the Clubhouse. I hope that everyone has had the opportunity
to meet Patrick our new Club House Manger. He is full of great, new ideas and we are happy to
have him on the team. Now that the grill project is complete, we should also be excited with its
direction, and leadership with Eve. The Men’s Member-Guest was, as usual, an incredible event with great golf, food,
and fellowship. Ben and Jay and the entire golf staff, once again, pulled off and amazing weekend where many of the
guests can’t wait to come back.
Just a reminder that this is the last month of our membership initiative where you can earn credits for nominating a new
Member. We’ve added 85 new households to the Club since January and realistically expect that number to break 100
before year end. Thank you to our Members for spreading the word. And welcome to our new Members!

MANAGER’S MESSAGE
- Anthony Chelena
The season will begin to change in the coming weeks as our families send their kids back to
school. High school football season cranks up on Fridays, college football Saturdays and the
NFL on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays. Our last Pool cookout of the season will be August
16. With that schedule change we’ll also adjust our Grill dinner schedule to Monday through
Fridays. Sunday night comes off and Friday night gets added.
Are you ready for some football? How about some Monday Night Football at the Grill? We are
going to test it in September and the rest of the season will depend on Member response in late September. Monday
night football begins September 9, with the Texans vs the Saints at 7:10pm; each following week the games begin at
8:15pm. From 8:00pm to 9:30pm, the Grill will make their limited Sports Menu available to our Monday Night Football
Group. This menu features items like burgers and wings, perfect for football. You won’t find a better TV to watch than at
the Grill.
It sure can get noisy in the Grill. And Members have reacted saying things like, “I like it. It sure is nice to see life in
here.”, or “This is intolerable and something needs to be done right now!” Personally, I agree with both sentiments. We
began working the problem the day after our grand opening party in June. We’ve learned that something called acoustic
panels can mitigate the problem. Based on the room dimensions, a calculation can be made as to how many square
feet of acoustic panel are needed. Since learning about acoustic panels, I’m noticing them in buildings everywhere
around town. We have pushed our vendors to speed up the solution. Admittedly, our vendors have been responding
painfully slow, but we know about it, and are pushing the solution.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DINING AT THE
GRILL AND POOL
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS COMING TO THE GRILL
THIS SEPTEMBER
The long-awaited football season is almost here and we are ready for it!
Beginning September 9, stop by the Grill to watch the Monday Night
Football Game and enjoy some great food to go along with it. We will be
making our Sports Menu available from 8:00pm-9:30pm every Monday
night in September so you catch the game as well as a tasty bite.

GOLF NEWS
- Ben Balentine
All were hopeful the weather would
cooperate as we began the match
play format for the 2019 Men’s
Member-Guest Tournament on the
11th, 12th and 13th of July, but
unfortunately we had delays all three Gary Golbesky and Beau Waddell and
days. Sixty teams participated in Kevon Doughrty Tosh Belsinger
ten flights of six teams. On Thursday we were able to get
in match one and the chipping and putting contest. Friday
there was a delay late into match 3 and eventually we were
finally able to complete matches 2 and 3. On Saturday we
had a couple of delays in match five and didn’t get finished
until 6:20pm. Play had to be extended to 8:00am Sunday
morning. The winners of each of the ten flights played in a
four-hole best ball net playoff with the teams of Terry
Caudle & Mark Durner, Will Hendricks & Mike Jolly and Dennis Wedgeworth and Matthew Skamperele and
Shane Payne & Tom Morton, all tying with a score of 13. The Chris Johnson Stewart Adams
team of Caudle/Durner came out on top after winning the
chip off on the 18th green. The tournament turned out to be
a huge success despite the weather and it seems everyone
had a spectacular three days of golf and all enjoyed the
festivities following play on Thursday and Saturday.

be hosting two different Club Championships. On August
10-11 the Men’s Club Championship will be played and the
FLIGHT WINNERS
WGA Championship is scheduled for August 20 and 22. On
August 1, the women will be hosting their Member-Guest.
Results of all of these tournaments will appear in next
month’s newsletter. We look forward to an active month of

NIGHT GOLF
On Friday, October 11 we have planned to have our second Night Golf event. It will be an 18-hole, two-person team,
captain’s choice competition beginning at 5:00pm. After the first nine holes we will serve dinner in the Ward Room. At
8:15pm the fun begins. The next nine will be played with illuminated golf balls, directional guides and flag poles. After
that nine is completed we will meet again in the Ward Room for drinks and awards. The cost is $50.00 per person. The
field will be limited to the first 24 teams (48 people) to sign up, so don’t delay as this event will fill up quickly. Call the Golf
Shop at 693-6507 to sign up.
PACE OF PLAY
Once again I find it necessary to remind everyone of the importance of pace of play at Hendersonville Country Club. The
Golf Committee and Board of Directors have set a time of four (4) hours for an 18-hole round and have asked the
Professional Staff to monitor the course to expedite play. Please be aware of your group’s position on the golf course and
keep up with the group in front of you, NOT in front of the group behind you.
GREAT SHOTS

GOLF TIPS
- Jay King
I have always enjoyed watching the Open Championship because it is interesting to see how
imaginative and creative the best golfers in the world can be. It is fun to watch them play shots that
we generally do not see here in the United States. Due to the extreme wind, cold, and rain, golf
shots played during the Open are generally lower to the ground and roll to the hole.
Hendersonville Country Club may not always have severe winds, or extremely hard and dry
conditions like British Open golf, but we do have many collection (run off) areas around the greens
that Donald Ross wanted to test our imagination and creativity. Next time you are in one of these
fairway cut collection areas, try taking the lower route to the hole. Play a bump and run shot. It takes touch, feel, and
practice to know what club to hit when you are playing a bump and run. Generally you should start practicing with a 7 or
8 iron. Play the ball back in your stance, lean your body forward, and keep the shaft of the club leaning forward through
impact. You need to practice this shot to understand how far the ball will carry and how quickly the ball will stop. If you feel
like you need more practice with the bump and run shot try using a hybrid club and set up like you are putting and do a
putting motion. A hybrid has over 15 degrees more loft than your putter and will allow the ball to carry a short distance and
then roll the rest of the way to the hole. With practice you will find both of these shots safer and more consistently nearer
the hole than the high pitch/flop shot.
SMGA
-Don Moses
Hendersonville Country Club‘s Senior Men’s Golf Association In Full Swing!
Gentlemen, we are continuing to enjoy outstanding course conditions and great weather here at
Hendersonville Country Club! With the numerous tournaments going on, we have had a lot of
competition for Mondays, but the many, new members have been a real plus for us!
On June 17, SMGA had an Individual Low Net 4 Flights A,B,C,D with the winners being Ed
Arnold, Frank Greco, Jerry Young, and Dick Carlstedt. Closest to the pin was Richard Kauffold.
On June 25, SMGA had the Jones Gap Challenge at Cummings Cove. SMGA lost to Cummings Cove with a score of
2-7. This loss unfortunately led to SMGA losing the Jones Gap Challenge, 9-10. So close!
On July 1, SMGA had an aggregate net, 3-man teams with the winners being Team #2, Larry Hargis and Pete Petersen.
Closest to the pin was Bob Vickery.
On July 8, SMGA had a 4-man teams, 2 BB’s net with the winners being team #3, Charlie Philips, Richard Huskes and
Dick Carlstedt. Closest to the pin was Bob Gaston.
On July 15, SMGA had a 4-man team, low & high net balls per hole with the winners being team #1, Larry Hargis,
Richard Kauffold, Bob Hunter and Pete Petersen. Closest to the pin was Fred Wright.
SMGA will again be hosting and visiting three nearby clubs this season: Cummings Cove, Cliffs Valley and
Burlingame. Check with our site, hccsmga.org, for the times and dates of these exciting getaways. Play and defend your
club! In order to be eligible to attend an away game, you must have played in the hosting game for that club.
As always, encourage your friends to participate in the SMGA membership, meet others, and enjoy the camaraderie of
team play!
ON THE GREEN
-Craig Dejong
We are certainly in the heart of the golf season. In July the Club hosted another outstanding
Member-Guest. Undeterred by rainfall and a Sunday finish, our staff did an excellent job
preparing the course for the tournament. Each department at the Club is equally accountable for
the success of this tournament, and it’s always great to see and hear the participants appreciation
for the Club’s ability to put on a good show.
Immediately following the Member-Guest, the course was closed for two days. We were able to
complete several critical cultural practices. These fundamental practices are essential for the
continued health of our turfgrasses. We were able to: vent, groom, fertilize and topdress greens; replace worn-out sod
on five approach and ten fairway, and apply a herbicide for weed control to all playing surfaces, except greens. It is
incredible how much our productivity increases without player interruption. We enjoying seeing all of you on the course,
but we also appreciate having the course to ourselves. Thank you.
Even though we are having one of our best agronomic seasons, turf decline is always a possibility. You can help us by
avoiding any weak turf areas when walking, using pushcarts or driving a cart. An informational sheet, describing
summertime turf stress, has been hung up in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms.
Have you heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? This significant accumulation of plastic, floating in the Pacific
Ocean, contains at least 79,000 tons of plastic and covers an area of about 617,000 square miles. The new water
fountains, located at each of the on-course bathrooms, have a bottle filling station allowing a water bottle to be quickly
and easily filled. This feature enhances our sustainability, minimizes waste, and reduces our dependence on disposable
plastic cups and bottles. Remember to bring a reusable container and give it a try.
One calendar change to note. Our aerification of greens has been rescheduled from Tuesday, September 3 to
Wednesday, August 28.
