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 />

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 />

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 />
