p.m. We appreciate when all players are off the practice areas at this time
so that the collection of golf balls can begin without interruption. Thank-
you in advance for your cooperation!
We are starting to get some of our Fall merchandise into the Golf Shop.
There are still many companies who are not yet producing full lines for
this Fall because a shortage of materials and workers to produce the
clothing. We have been able to secure some great items though from such
leading manufacturers as Polo, Sun Ice, Bobby Jones, Fairway & Greene,
Melly M, and Donald Ross for men and women. As always,
special orders are always available.
Mark these tournament dates on your August calendar –
August 5-7 Lehigh Invitational
11 Caddy-Member Tournament
14, 15 Junior Club Championship
22 Mixed Twilight
24 Women’s 9 Hole Invitational
25 One Day Member Guest
26, 27 Women’s 18 Hole Member-Member
Please take care of your golf course! Fix your ball mark on the green and
one other, fill your divots either with the soli/seed mix or with the whole
divot, rake the bunkers after playing out of them, pick up trash on the
course, and pick up broken tees off the tees. The golf course has been in
fantastic condition all season – let’s all do our best to keep it that way
going into the Fall season.
Enjoy the remainder of the Summer!

A LETTER FROM THE GROUNDS DEPARTMENT
Dear LCC Members,
For those of you I have not had the pleasure to meet, my name is Sean
Gregson and I started as the Senior Assistant Golf Course Superintendent
a little over a year ago. My career has taken me from Florida, to
Wyoming, and most recently for the last four years, Pennsylvania. I’ve
been blessed to work on, as well as walk some absolutely amazing
properties. There are places like Somerset Hills, Merion, Sleepy Hollow
that I place in their own category, “special”. Coming back to Lehigh the
day after a recent trip to one of these places, made me really realize that
this place is pretty special as well. Flynn used this piece of land like an
art canvas to paint 18 amazing golf holes that I now get the pleasure to
be on and help maintain on a daily basis. That being said, without great
Sean Gregson
membership and staffing, Flynn’s prized art would be lost to the fields. A
big thank you to everyone for their own part in keeping Lehigh special Senior Assistant
and a great place to work at! Grounds Superintendent
610.967.4643
gregsonturfgrass@gmail.com
What’s going on around the property?
If you’ve missed it, a ton of work around the racquet facilities has been
recently completed. On our end, a new walkway was put in from the east
lot, existing walkways painted, updated landscaping and flowers, and a
third of an acre was stripped, prepped, and sodded. Even if you’re not a
racquet player, the next time you slice one on 9, swing by and take a
peek.
On the course itself the summer grind continues, and it has been an in-
teresting weather pattern to say the least this year. While there were
times we would have liked to see less moisture and humidity (Member-
Guest), overall the course has held in there strongly so far throughout its
most susceptible time of the year. Something everyone can do to help
out during these strenuous summer months is to be mindful of scattering
their cart traffic as they make their way around the course. One area in
particular we are starting to see wear damage is where the dew paths tie
into the fairways. If heavy traffic areas like these can be slightly avoided
it will give them time to recover during these crucial months.
I look forward to meeting more and more of you as time goes on. I’m
usually in a red electric cart with a blue hose in the back. Please feel free
to stop by and say hello!
Thank you,
Sean Gregson

Rule 7.3 Lifting Ball to Identify It
If a ball might be a player’s ball but cannot be identified as it lies:
The player may lift the ball to identify it (including by rotating it), but:
The spot of the ball must first be marked, and the ball must not be cleaned more
than needed to identify it (except of putting green).
If the lifted ball is the player’s ball or another player’s ball, it must be replaced
on its original spot.
If the player lifts his or her ball under this Rule when not reasonably necessary
to identify it (except on the putting green where the player may lift under
13.1b), fails to mark the spot of the ball before lifting it or cleans it when not
allowed, the player gets one penalty stroke.
See you on the course,

A LETTER FROM THE POOL DIRECTOR
Dear LCC Members,
July was a banner month at the Pool. Our LCC Lightning Swimmers and
Divers went 3-1 in regular competition, then hosted BCC and SVCC in a
Tri Country Club Relay meet that was spectacular. The Pool also played
host for the 2021 ABE Diving Championship.
As we move into August, the Pool looks forward to the return of Family
Camp Out for 2021, even as we bid farewell to our departing guards
returning or for the first time going to college.

A LETTER FROM THE RACQUETS DIRECTOR
Dear LCC Members,
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. As you all know that we had
lot of improvements at racquets this season. The four new pickleball
courts were built, and the ribbon cutting was held on July 23rd. The
whole landscape was improved and the entrance to the racquet’s facility
looks great. I want to thank Jen Felegy, John Chassard, Mike Thompson,
Kathy Thompson, and Ken Duerholz for all their help in making the
project a big success.

Saturday the finals will start around 11 am. This tournament has picked
up lot of momentum, and last year we saw players from top Division 1 Ari Datta
college such as Ohio State and Pepperdine University participate. This Racquets Director
year we plan to have lot of up-and-coming professional tennis players as 610.434.7884
well as highly ranked college tennis players participate. Complimentary ari@lehighcc.com

A LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Dear LCC Members:
Welcome to August! The summer is in full swing and we want to end it
by continuing to provide a great member experience.
In July, we had a successful 4th of July Picnic and the Member Guest
Tournament went extremely well. Wear White, Drink Pink was a
success, as always!
Next week, brings our Lehigh Invitational Tournament. (Thursday 8/5-
Saturday 8/7) New this year! The restaurant will be open on Stag Night
Jennifer Felegy
and the Saturday Awards reception. Ala carte seating will be limited to
the Flynn Grille and Mixed Grille. Reservations highly suggested. General Manager

You may have noticed we are trying to improve communication with the
membership. We are sending biweekly emails with menus and up
coming events. Another way to communicate is via text message. If you
would like to sign up for text alerts, please contact Amanda at
amanda@lehighcc.com.
The terrace has been busier than ever! Of course, we strive to meet all
members requests. This being said it is important to mention that while
you may request a certain table for lunch and dinner we cannot 100%
guarantee that table. Please be understanding that our team does the
best they can to accommodate all members.
A reminder to the golfers who may enjoy a cigar on the course. There is
no smoking permitted in the rest rooms or in the inside porch of the
halfway house. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

A LETTER FROM THE MEN’S LOCKER ROOM
Summer is not over yet! Near the end of the month I lose availability of
some staff, but not before we get through the Lehigh Invitational.
Speaking of the Invitational - I’ll need 72 lockers to accommodate the
guests. If by chance you prefer I do NOT use your locker for a tourna-
ment guest, please let me know ASAP. I choose 72 lockers of members I
think will not use their locker from August 4 evening through August 7,
possibly August 8 if the tournament uses the rain date. Contents
are carefully labeled, removed, kept safe and returned at the conclusion
of the tournament, normally Saturday evening. The locker room will look
like it did before the tournament began by Sunday morning if all goes
well. Please call or email me if you have any questions.

‘Welcome!’ all new members to Lehigh, especially the members I have
610.435.5311
not met yet! I know being on a wait list is a little inconvenient for the 6 +
menslockerroom@lehighcc.com
men, so far, on that list for a locker, but please remember how well this
reflects on the health of your club.
Lockers… as I mentioned above, I need lockers for new members. I have
contacted a few of the locker holders regarding the status of their locker,
and have heard back from just one member. Please let me know if you no
longer need your locker. And yes, new name plates should be coming in
soon, maybe on the lockers by the time you read this. If you see lockers
that do not have name plates, they will soon!
Please remember the Men’s Lounge is a great place for a quiet and quick
lunch. Ok, Friday afternoons and weekend lunches are not quiet, but we
try to be quick! Reservations are not necessary. By the middle of this
month, we will be moving toward an 8pm closing time rather than 9pm,
only if there is no business. We will always stay later if we have business.
I look forward to seeing you at the Club in August!
