"A visible and ongoing pursuit of excellence in facilities, programs and member service where golf, dining, wellness, swimming and tennis combine to make Carmel a place for fellowship and the country club of choice for families in Greater Charlotte."

Our Vision:

Mark AndersonPresident

Summer is upon us, and we are ready to relax and enjoy our Club. With the increase in utiliza-tion for all areas of Carmel, we’d like to share these reminders about the importance of showing courtesy to your fellow Club members.

Currently, our Golf Committee is developing an awareness program called “Care for Carmel”, asking every golfer to take responsibility for proper care of the courses as they play. Other committees and board members are also hearing about issues relating to courtesy at Carmel. A caring and courteous respect for our facilities and for other members’ enjoyment needs to be an inherent part of the Carmel experience.

What actions can you take to show you are part of the “Carmel Cares” community? Here are a few areas of note:

Golf:

Pace of Play – Players must maintain pace with the group in front of them. If your group falls behind, you must allow the group behind to play through. This is the rule.

Golf Course Care – All members are expected to the leave the course in better condition than they found it. As necessary, this includes raking bunkers, filling divots and replacing ball marks. Please always take the time to fix your own, and one other.

Practice – Rather than hitting multiple shots from the same spot on the golf course, members should make use of the range for all practice.

Dress Code - Proper golf attire is mandatory for members and guests on the golf courses and all practice areas. Tank tops, halter tops, tee shirts and cut-offs are not permitted. Shorts are permitted providing they are no higher than four inches above the knee. Short shorts, gym shorts, tennis shorts, swim attire, blue jean cut-offs, and denim attire are not permitted in golf areas. Golf shirts must be tucked in. Golf caps must be worn with the brim facing directly forward. Golf shoes with soft spikes or turf friendly shoes must be worn in golf areas.

Pool:

Towels - Members are responsible for the return of all towels issued to them, their children and guardians and their guests. Towels are to be returned to the appropriate bins.

Seating - A key area for member satisfaction involves seating at the pool. Members may reserve chairs for their children, and guests, but only while they are present in the Pool Complex. Saving chairs for future arrivals is not permitted.

Trash - All trash should be disposed of in the trash cans and not left on the tables or poolside.Child Supervision - All children under the age of 11 must be supervised by a guardian aged 14 or older at all times while at the pool.

Clubhouse:

Dress Code – The following are not permitted in the Club-house: torn, tight, short and baggy clothing; bathing suits; t-shirts; bare mid-sections; and untucked shirts (Tommy Bahama Style Box Cut Shirts are permitted).

Child Supervision - Parents must supervise their children (under the age of 13) on the Honors Terrace. The West Patio is for ADULTS ONLY. Children are not permitted to run on the golf course at any time. Children are NOT PERMIT-TED past the cart path unless they are playing golf. While dining in the Grill or on the patio, please watch your children, monitor their noise level (no screaming/shouting), and take necessary steps to ensure they are not causing a disruption to other members.

We should remember that while we are a family oriented club, we should also respect the rights of other members to have a peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy, and not ask them to con-tend with loud or disruptive behavior from adults or children other than in appropriate areas such as the pool.

Tennis:

Reservation of courts - Please remember to reserve a court prior to coming out to play.

Proper Attire - Appropriate tennis attire and shoes are re-quired at all times (unacceptable clothing/shoes include: tank tops or sleeveless shirts worn by men; cut-offs; swim wear; jeans; running shoes; street shoes; deck type shoes; and sandals or bare feet.)

Finally, please remember that all guests must be registered before utilizing Club facilities.

In conclusion, we don’t want to ask staff to police our behav-ior. Instead, let’s take it upon ourselves as members to be part of a caring community at Carmel by respecting each other’s enjoyment of our Club. I also encourage you to discuss this with fellow members, and encourage everyone in the Carmel family to respect one another.

Thank you in advance for your attention to these rules and your support of Carmel Country Club.

Dear Carmel Members:It’s great to be on board as the new Clubhouse Manager here at Carmel. I have joined the Carmel team after serving as Food & Beverage Director at Memphis Country Club for the last 6 years, but I also bring 14 years of private club experience to Carmel.

I believe my experience has provided me with excellent grounding to ad-vance, promote and carry on Carmel’s tradition of excellence. The ongoing pursuit of elevating service and amenities has me focusing on some areas important to every member. Improving service in the Grill is a top priority for me. My focus includes bringing in a new Grill Manager, establishing a specific set of service standards for all wait staff, and making overall refine-ments to organization in the Grill and around all of our Food and Bever-age services. Another area of focus for me will be staff training. We have already begun assessing, redesigning, and developing new training material and will begin implementing a very aggressive approach to retraining cur-rent and new staff over the coming months. Also, those who dine with us in the Grill will begin to receive a short five question survey via email the following day. It is my hope that, through your feedback, we will be able to identify exactly what areas we need to advance and improve as well as recognize what we already do successfully.

Another immediate priority is to increase the effectiveness around our ban-quet planning process. We’re working with a nationally recognized catering consultant to assess and define opportunities to elevate our offerings in this area, and also help apply these improved processes and innovations at Carmel. This includes developing new banquet menus catered to specific groups, along with reviewing all policies and procedures in our banquet and event offerings.

Ultimately, my goals and priorities as Clubhouse Manager have the best interests of you the member at heart. Please remember that one of the most effective ways to improve your member experience is by providing us with your input and opinions about Carmel. Filling out the comment cards available on the Club’s website is the easiest and most direct way to do just that. Those comments are shared with all relevant management and leadership and help us continue in our Club-wide pursuit of excellence in all areas.

Thank you to everyone I have met thus far for their very warm welcome. I look forward to meeting and getting to know more of the membership over the coming weeks and months. Please stop me anytime to say hello and share any thoughts around the topics of improvement I address here, or any other matters that are of interest to you regarding the Carmel clubhouse.

There’s a lot to be excited about at Carmel this summer. Hopefully you will enjoy all your Club has to offer, including lazy days poolside and leisurely meals with family and friends in the Grill.

Sincerely,

Shawn WilkesClubhouse Manager

Reading Greens Is A Science Not An ArtYou have all seen that magical green line that shows up at every tour event on television where if the profes-sional rolls the ball over that line at the correct speed, the ball goes in the hole. Wouldn’t you love it if you started to see that line in your mind’s eye before you hit a putt. Well you can! Have you ever wondered where or who invented that line? It is a guy named Mark Sweeney. An average guy (not a golf pro) who got tired with same answer when asking the question,” How do you read a green accurately?” It is just experience, right! Wrong. So Aimpoint Technologies was created with all the answers to the question. “How much break should I play on this putt?” The computer model that created the green line was then turned into a teachable system that any level of golfer can learn. I just happen to be the only golf professional in the Charlotte region that is certified to teach this unbelievable system and I am right here at your service at Carmel Country Club. For those of you who don’t know about the AimPoint system, here is an overview of how it works. First of all, every putt has a very predictable amount of curve attached to it due to a fixed set of laws that create break on every putt. No matter what course or type of green that you are on, there is an answer to how much break which makes every single putt makeable. Yes, every putt!

It’s All About SATIf you can find the direction the (S)lope is running, the per-centage of slope you are rolling the ball across and at what (A)ngle you are rolling the ball across the slope, then you can predict the break down to the inch. The rest relies on what we call (T)ime. The time it takes the ball to roll to the hole which is simply taught by finding your distance to the hole.

So Aimpoint is simply a ball location exercise that requires you to find a few variables, plug them into a chart that will give an answer as to where EXACTLY where to aim. The great thing is that you can gather this information in less than 30 seconds. I can show you in less than an hour how to develop these nec-essary skills and how to read the chart which will quickly help you to make more putts inside of 20 feet and eliminate three putts. How important is green reading to lowering your scores? Come and find out by attending the next clinic ( I have at least one every month) or taking a private lesson. As we say in the Aimpoint family, stop guessing and come and learn to make everything.

See you on the putting green,Jason SuttonDirector of Instruction

Saturday, February 25th Two clinics. 10 am or 2pm. (each are 2.5 hours)

South putting green. Sign up online! $200 per person

Join Director of Instruction, Jason Sutton and PGA Senior Aimpoint Inventor, Mark Sweeney for a green reading clinic that you don't want to miss. Never

guess at a read again!

What You Will Learn: How to accurately identify slope

How slope direction and grade affect break How your position on the slope influences break and speed

How to identify your position on the slope How to determine precise break amounts based on position

How to handle changing or multiple slopes How position relates to speed control

How to determine optimum approach shot strategies

Whether you're a professional golfer, caddie, junior, or amateur golfer, AimPoint Green Reading will transform your game by teaching you the

one aspect of putting which is never taught--exactly where to aim. Learn that putting is predictable

and discover the most effective and reliable ways to determine

the direction and precise amount of break for any putt,

all based on gravity (only works on earth).

Girls Only Golf Clinic"I was blown away by the turn out we had. What an incredible group of bright, energetic and talented girls that are eager to learn! Their enthusiasm was the highlight of my entire week and I can't wait to see where the girls golf program goes from here!" ~ Perry Swenson Livonius

First of all, I want to thank Perry for her time and efforts in hosting this clinic. She was a gracious host and very generous with the girls too: she posed for professional portraits with them, gave them her personally signed player cards, tossed autographed golf balls out to the young ladies that asked questions; it was really fantastic. I know the girls were very impressed with not only her play-ing ability, but her kindness as well.

I figured that we would have a good group together for Per-ry's class; but 50 girls!?! For me it was an encouraging sight. I am sure now that Carmel has a significant group of young ladies that will take an active role in a girls only golf pro-gram if it is available to them. I am excited to set up more events where the girls have the chance to enjoy golf and each other's company. I foresee a thriving girls golf program at Carmel and will continue to support this group with activi-ties, instruction and playing opportunities all summer long. ~ Adam Ohsberg, PGA, Carmel Junior Leader

Junior Inter-ClubThe Junior Inter-Club Team has once again completed its seeding for the top 16 spots to represent Car-mel in the league matches. For those of you who don't know about the junior inter-club team, here is the scoop.

Carmel's juniors are apart of a Junior Golf League comprised of 16 teams from various private clubs in the Greater Charlotte Area that this year is cel-ebrating its 40th anniversary. Their are four age divisions: 10 & Under, 11-12, 13-14, 15-18, and four juniors represent their club within each age division. At Carmel this team has become so popular that we hold an extensive quali-fying process involving seven different 9-hole rounds for the kids to come out and try their hand

at qualifying. This year the number of juniors has exploded - 60 juniors tried out for the coveted 16 spots on the Team! The biggest increase has come from the 7-10 year olds, with a total of 25 kids in that group alone! Carmel has won the League Championship the last two years and is hoping to make it three years in a row this Summer!

From Coach Adam Ohsberg, PGA - "For me it is a real privilage to Coach such an outstanding group of Juniors. I am always so impressed by their focus, and competitiveness within even the youngest age groups. Beyond the competition though, it is especially rewarding to see the juniors bonding with each other through golf. I love to see them remove their hats and shake hands on the 9th green after their matches. This year I am creating highlight videos for the group with player interviews immediately after their rounds; anything I can do to help the kids feel like big-leaguers! I feel confi-dent about our chances in League this year. We would love to bring the Inter-Club Trophy home to Carmel for a third consecutive year!!!"

Match Schedule this summer: June 11th - at Charlotte CC June 19th - at Cedarwood CC July 16th - at Carmel CC July 24th - at Pine Island CC July 27th - Pro-Junior at Providence CCAugust 2nd - League Championship at Gaston CC

Junior Clinics For The FallMINI STARS (ages 3 and 4) Mondays and Wednesdays 2:15-2:45 August 27-October 24 $8.00 per clinic

Our goal with this introductory clinic is to make the court a fun place to be! We will focus on tossing and catching drills, hand/eye coordination and moving our feet. We will practice listening to our coaches and introduce the idea of score keeping by catch-ing the red foam balls. The juniors in this clinic will need a 19” racquet in order to participate.

BRIGHT STARS (ages 5 and 6) Mondays and Wednesdays 4:00-4:30August 27-October 24 $8.00 per clinic

In this clinic the juniors will start to develop basic forehands, backhands, volleys and serves while using the correct grips. They will continue to work on movement, balance, agility and hand eye coordination while beginning to understand about the flight of the ball. The learning in this session is made easier and more fun by continuing to use a variety of games while ensuring each child’s success. The children will be using a red foam ball and will be on a 36’ court and must have a 21” racquet to partici-pate.

FUTURE STARS (ages 7-8) Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30-5:15August 27-October 24 $10.00 per clinic

Juniors in this clinic will be continuing to develop their fore-hands, backhands, volleys and serves and learning to execute simple tactics. The development at this level allows for an “all-court” game style with net play, but with a ¾ size court. Full tennis rules begin to apply with no-ad games and shorter sets. This group will be using the red quick start ball on the 36’ court and they must have a 23” racquet in order to participate.

SHOOTING STARS (ages 9-10) Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:00-5:00August 28-October 25 $12.00 per clinic

In theses sessions, we are learning athletic skills required in tennis combined with learning how to think quickly, listen and work in a group. This level moves up to the orange ball and the 60’ size court and would use a 25” racquet in order to participate.

SUPER STARS (ages 11 and up) Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:00-6:30August 28-October 25 $17.00 per clinic

After “graduating” from the progressive tennis, the children in this clinic will be fully developed to successfully use regular balls and play on full size courts. Focus is primarily on tactical aspects of the game mixed with technical development. Footwork, agil-ity and strength development will also be incorporated.

9 Holers 18 HolersGolf Is Hot Hot Hot For Nine HolersCarmel Nine Holers hosted the "Carmel Caliente" Invita-tional on July 18th. Providence CC, Ballantyne, Raintree, Cedarwood and Sun City Nine Hole Golf Associations were invited to participate in formatted tour-nament on the South Course. Golf was pre-ceded by a continental breakfast on the patio and followed by a Mexican Fiesta on the Terrace. Each participant received their own Carmel Caliente Hot Sauce in their Wel-come Packet! Mulligans and Sand Tosses were available for purchase with the proceeds donated to The Doves Nest in Charlotte. It was a great day of "hot golf "! Thanks to Debra Nash, Sue Evans and their crew for a fantastic day!

Whiners Night!!The 9 Holer’s joined together in the upstairs lounge to have some fun with games and glasses of wine. Below (l to r) hostesses Lindsay Stroker, Woods Potts, Karen Verha-gen and Deb McNealy smile with fellow 9 Holer Jeannie Sanderson--they don’t look like Whiners, do they?! Deb Mc-Nealy’s “glorious gifts” provided the awesome prizes and a good time was had by all--so fun! Thanks girls!!!

Sun City Carolina Lakes InvitationalSun City 9 Holers invites our ladies on to their club Tues-day, Sept. 11th. Event includes golf refreshments, lunch and prizes. Cost will be $40. Look for the sign up sheet on the locker room bulletin board this summer and join us!

The 18-hole ladies annual two-day Ryder Cup tourna-ment got off to a soggy start. Monday’s competition was called due to severe rainfall. Tuesday’s event was

played on the South course and the Red team captained by Joyce Shields prevailed over Julie Cow-man’s Blue team. A buffet lunch was served on the honors terrace. The grand finale was a spontane-ous water gun fight, which cooled everybody off !

The ladies traveled to the Pinehurst area again this year for the annual road trip. The 15 women had lots of fun and it included 3 days of golf competi-tion. Patty Moore hosted the ladies for supper one night at her Pinehurst home. The second night the ladies ate at a lovely restaurant in the historic Pinehurst village. All the ladies received party favors—personalized flasks for our infamous “birdie juice”!! The weather was wonderful and people are looking forward to next year! A big thanks to Barb Nash and Lauren Hel-bein for planning the trip.

The North Carolina Women’s Net Play Day was won by Joan Eliason this year. Joan has won this event before and we offer her our hearty congratulations.

Be sure to mark your calendar for the following upcom-ing event—Super Salad Social and Swim at Laura Quillin’s home on July 16. We had so much fun at this event last year we are doing it again. Check the board for more information and to sign up.

Healthy Fitness Habits Summer time is a great time to build up your fitness pro-gram, enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, take a vacation, and have fun. The summer is a great time to play outdoor games, garden, or walk. Active people are less likely than inactive people to be obese or to have, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, coronary artery disease and stroke, depression, colon cancer, and premature death.

Tips:• Adults should get 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physi-cal activity most days of the week.• Children and adolescents should participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity all days of the week.• Start at an easy pace and increase time and distance gradu-ally.• Prevent injuries by not “over doing it”~reported from the CDC-Center for Disease Control and Pre-vention
