The Striking Ladies 9 Hole group has held several special golfing events this summer. Starting with a joint day playing 9 holes with<br />

<strong>Silverado</strong>’s WGA. This was followed by a wine and cheese get together.<br />

We also held our first exchange with Napa Valley <strong>Country</strong> club’s 9 Hole group. We invited them to play the North Course and join us<br />

for Lunch. They were impressed with the north course and the excellent food in our clubhouse. We were invited to play the front 9 at Napa<br />

Valley and honed our skills on uneven lies. We are already planning next year’s exchange.<br />

August 25 was our first Guest day. Guests from Blackhawk, Fairfield, Sonoma and Napa Valley joined us for 9 holes and lunch. We hope<br />

to hold more guest days this fall.<br />

Coming in <strong>September</strong> is our third annual Couple’s twilight scramble. We will play a 9 hole scramble with several opportunities for<br />

participants to win prizes. This will be followed by dinner and dancing.<br />

Striking Ladies 9 Hole group is open to all women golf members of <strong>Silverado</strong>. If you are interested in joining us to play on Thursdays<br />

this fall, please contact Brenda Schneider at nana99@gmail.com or Donna Foureman at dcjwcf@aol.com


MEN’S GOLF<br />

Jim Clark<br />

A quick report on the state of men’s golf, past,<br />

present and future…<br />

Men’s Match Play Finals were held August 6th<br />

with the following results: Tim Tiegen defeated<br />

Rodney Wray; Bud Alexander defeated Wayne<br />

Sutton; Paul Turner defeated Don Heatherington;<br />

Ray Fazzio defeated Jorgen Erting.<br />

The match play event was a self administered event with all the<br />

players setting up their matches in a given time period. Brian<br />

Schaffer was the main coordinator and by all reports things ran<br />

quite well. Thanks to all who participated.<br />

On August 7th, the Junior Golf Tournament was held with 22<br />

participants. There were hamburgers and hotdogs following the<br />

tournament. Men’s Golf was the sponsor for this event. As you<br />

know, this is a project the entire <strong>Silverado</strong> golf community can<br />

stand behind. I would welcome anyone’s input on this project, so<br />

please feel free to contact me at: lclark6372@aol.com.<br />

With the Director’s Cup just two days away, August 27th, it<br />

appears that we’ve exceed our participation goal of 50 players. This<br />

should be a great event, with prizes of gift certificates to local<br />

restaurants. I want to thank you all in advance in supporting our<br />

event.<br />

<strong>September</strong> at <strong>Silverado</strong> always promises fabulous weather, with<br />

this in mind, the Men’s Gold Event, The <strong>Club</strong> Championship, will<br />

be held on Saturday and Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 24 & 25th. This<br />

MIXED GOLF<br />

Karen Sulenski<br />

Our Mixed golf season is rapidly winding down<br />

with only three tournaments left to play. By the<br />

time you receive this there will be only four days<br />

left to sign up for our Member Guest event on<br />

Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 4th. There will be three<br />

flights, member guest, member-member, and noncompetitive.<br />

Here’s the scoop: North course, 1 pm<br />

shotgun, Shamble format, make your own foursomes then come in<br />

for a Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet Social a la Myrna Andrews.<br />

All of you married folks out there will want to come out and<br />

compete for the title of Mr. and Mrs. <strong>Club</strong> Champion on Sunday,<br />

<strong>September</strong> 11th at 9 am. Sign-in at 8:30 am and be ready to work<br />

as a team and achieve the title with low net best ball. An award for<br />

low gross will also be given as well prizes to additional teams<br />

having low scores. The event will be followed by lunch on the<br />

Fairway Deck.<br />

Our final and possibly our most important tournament of the year<br />

is Golfing Fore the Cure on October 9th. Benefitting the Komen<br />

Foundation for breast cancer, Arnie’s Army for prostate cancer<br />

and the American Cancer Society, this Battle of the Sexes event<br />

event will crown both the Regular <strong>Club</strong> Champion and the<br />

Senior <strong>Club</strong> Champion (ages 68 & over). If you are a senior, you<br />

may elect to participate in the Regular <strong>Club</strong> Champion. Those<br />

electing the regular <strong>Club</strong> Championship may only participate in that<br />

category and must elect either gross or net flight. The Senior <strong>Club</strong><br />

Champions participants will only compete in that category and may<br />

win Senior <strong>Club</strong> Champion gross or net flight prizes.<br />

The format is stroke play over 2 days, beginning Saturday the 24th<br />

on the North Course at 8:30am shotgun. Sunday, will be held on<br />

South Course, 8:30am shotgun. Cost for the tournament is $50.00<br />

per player.<br />

This event, over the years, has been the least attended overall;<br />

therefore, we’ve shortened the event to 2 days and will add a<br />

“Players Only Pari-mutuel” to heighten interest. Plan on appetizers<br />

and a drink on Saturday, and an Awards lunch and a drink on<br />

Sunday.<br />

On Sunday. October 2nd we will be hosting the Li’l Abner Event.<br />

It is a 9:00 a.m. shotgun. It’s not too late to grab a partner.<br />

<strong>September</strong> 2-5, <strong>2011</strong>, for all of you patriots, there is a chance to<br />

GREENS COMMITTEE<br />

Harry Matthews<br />

Your Greens Committee met in August with Director of Golf, Tim Geesey and Grounds Superintendant, Dustin<br />

Strickland with discussion centering on housekeeping and maintenance issues which are detailed below:<br />

Construction Update<br />

The Lake Project on the South Course is moving along perfectly. As this article is written, the liner has been installed<br />

and concrete edge has been poured. There will be sodding next week and the entire project looks like a huge success. The<br />

removal of the peninsula next to the 9th green has made a dramatic impact on the green complex. One thing to notice is<br />

Johnny Millers’ use of some of the dirt that was removed to enhance the front entrance to the green.<br />

One of the other big changes that Johnny Miller made was the addition of a new forward tee on the 15th hole. This hole has been a very<br />

difficult hole for some of our members and guests due to the forced carry over the water. With the new slope in front of the green, the<br />

addition of this tee was very important. Tim Geesey wants, once again, to convey his appreciation of your patience through this process.<br />

North Course Work Continues: One of the important points that Tim wants communicated to everyone in the membership is the Resort’s<br />

continuing effort to improve the turf conditions on the North Course. The turf renovation program that was started last year will<br />

continue for the foreseeable future. In <strong>September</strong> they will again be applying the herbicide that kills Kikuyu grass and over-seeding with<br />

the Rye/Bluegrass mix that’s been used extensively on the North Course. During this process, golfers will notice the browning of<br />

the Kikuyu grass followed by some wetter-than-normal conditions. These conditions are needed to germinate the grasses that are being<br />

seeded. The end result is a fantastic quality of turf that we will all enjoy.<br />

Reminder: Share your cart and cart path only on par 3s.<br />

TROON PRIVÉ PROGRAM<br />

I’ve been answering some questions about the<br />

Privé Program recently, so I thought I would send<br />

this out in the connection so everyone could<br />

understand this wonderful program.<br />

The Troon Privé program is Troon Golf's Premier<br />

Reciprocal Program for golf members Troon’s<br />

collection of private clubs. Golf members at Troon Privé private<br />

clubs have the privilege to play at other private clubs for host club’s<br />

cart fee rate. Also, members are entitled to bring up to three guests<br />

that will play for host club’s accompanied rates ($100 here at<br />

<strong>Silverado</strong>). Each golfer can play up to (6) rounds at any given<br />

facility in one calendar year. (This benefit is limited to (3) visits for<br />

clubs in same geographic market i.e. Marin <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Club</strong>).<br />

The program has been a wonderful addition to our membership<br />

and many of you have enjoyed the ability to play at other Troon<br />

private clubs for a nominal cart fee. These clubs include: Pronghorn<br />

in Bend, Oregon, Entrada at Snow Canyon in Utah, and Quintero<br />

Golf <strong>Club</strong> in Arizona just to name a few.<br />

As members of <strong>Silverado</strong>, I hope each of you will take<br />

advantage of this program. In addition to the Privé program, you<br />

also can book rounds of golf at Troon Daily Fee or Resort Courses<br />

through the Troon Advantage Program. Please stop by the golf shop<br />

and talk to Pete or Brian if you have any questions.


NET SET/TENNIS HAPPENINGS<br />

Genie Sasloff and Jacob Hansen<br />

We have had another solid month of tennis in<br />

an incredible summer tennis season. James and<br />

Jacob have been on court more than they ever<br />

imagined and the courts have been buzzing with<br />

activity most mornings. We are looking forward<br />

to the fall as that's when it really warms up<br />

around here…<br />

AUGUST HIGHLIGHTS<br />

Advanced Mixed Doubles Night - We had 24 teams play king of<br />

the court for our monthly mixed event. The two finalists were<br />

members Michael and Caroline Price, who played out- of-towners,<br />

Diana and T from Arizona. Diana and T just edged out the Price's<br />

for an exciting final to end a great night of tennis.<br />

Day for the Queen - Tennis had an incredibly successful event at<br />

the member’s court. More than 50 players competed in a team<br />

format. All of the credit goes to Marlene Kniveton and her staff for<br />

running such a great Charity event. Thank you to all the members<br />

who participated.<br />

Jr. Program - Casey did a wonderful job working with the Junior<br />

Program this summer. We saw a lot of progress in the kids, a ton of<br />

fun, and a great desire to compete. It was a pleasure working with<br />

all of your children and grandkids. Looking forward to the fall<br />

program and next summer!<br />

Windscreens, Water Coolers and Bulletin Board - Thank you for<br />

your cooperation and flexibility with courts as we work to get the<br />

windscreens up. They've given a very fresh feel to the courts along<br />

with the new water coolers, score tenders, nets and paint going up<br />

around the tennis courts. We've also got a new bulletin board<br />

hanging on court 1 highlighting upcoming events. Big thanks to<br />

management for their support.<br />

MEDIA<br />

Tennis Resorts Online: Roger Cox, whom many of you met in<br />

June, has posted his write up on the resort. We've got a 5 Tennis Ball<br />

Review Score from the 14 reviews we've received so far. To view it<br />

dates and times.<br />

Do you know the way to my office? Take a ride over to the Spa, proceed thru the Spa Café toward the sparkling pool and my door is your<br />

last left before the exit. Please feel free to stop by anytime! Speaking of taking a ride over to the Spa, if you’re in your golf cart, please<br />

do the groundskeepers a favor and don’t park on the grass around the Pool. It’s looking poorly in spots as a result of this practice. Instead,<br />

park in the parking lot and take a very short stroll to the Pool. Thanks for that.<br />

Given that smooth segue to discussion of golf carts… I must ask – is your cart currently registered? If you’re using a<br />

private cart it must be registered with me and inspected quarterly at the Cart Shop. It should also be insured with General Liability limits<br />

of $100,000/$300,000 and Bodily Injury/ Property of $50,000. Please call me to register your carts!<br />

With that, I wish you all a great month of <strong>September</strong> and share with you one of my favorite quotes about this month, “By all these lovely<br />

tokens <strong>September</strong> days are here, with summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer”<br />

– Helen Hunt Jackson 1830-1885.

SPA NEWS<br />

Suzy Bordeaux-Johlfs<br />

Thank you for everyone for the warm welcome! I look forward to meeting you at the<br />

Spa and around the beautiful <strong>Silverado</strong> property!<br />

My position here as the Spa Director allows me the opportunity to create unique<br />

programming with which to showcase our fantastic Resort. You will begin to see touches<br />

of the spa as you enjoy the amenities around the property. I’d like to begin your<br />

<strong>Silverado</strong> Journey by drawing your attention to the natural essences of our<br />

lavender plantings as you walk from place to place around the Resort. They are not<br />

only pleasing to the eye but beneficial to us as well. They were planted specifically to<br />

rejuvenate your mind and spirit. Lavender is known as nature’s gift to soothe the<br />

soul and has been used for healing proposes for centuries. Some of the benefits of<br />

lavender are that encourages new skin cell growth, calms the stressed mind. It is also<br />

a natural antiseptic. Here at Spa <strong>Silverado</strong> we offer two services where we<br />

incorporate this amazing herb. Our Lavender Sugar Scrub will leave you feeling<br />

renewed and refreshed as we scrub your worries away leaving your skin feeling well<br />

hydrated and ultra smooth. Our Lavender Mint Clay Wrap will naturally pull toxins<br />

from the skin while simultaneously exfoliating and improving skin tone and circulation.<br />

Ask about our member special discounts so that you too can benefit from these<br />

healing treatments. Enjoy in good health!<br />
