Golf News CLUB DE BONMONT WOMEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season, but now that the holidays are over, it’s time for some great golf events. Our President’s Cup will be held January 17 and January 24, followed by our League Championship, February 21 and February 28. On March 14 we will have a Dog & Cat Fight, open to all men who are golf members of Plantation Bay (whether or not they belong to the Prestwick or CDB men’s league). It’ll be a fun match-play tournament, and everyone will be asked to bring a donation for our furry friends---dog or cat food, toys, kitty litter, or old towels. The Member/Member tournament rounds out the quarter with play on March 21 and March 28. This is always our biggest event and we look forward to another great turnout. Our WPC, Seagals and VIP teams have been representing the CDBWGA and Plantation Bay well, and we want to cheer them on as they continue to compete for fun and glory! Kathy Light, our resident USGA Rules Official, will conduct a rules clinic after the first round of play in the President’s Cup on January 17. Kathy always does a great job of helping us play the game the way it should be played. This is an event you don’t want to miss! We have a great golf season ahead of us, so come join us on Thursdays! Carol Widerberg, President 386-586-7194, cweed50@bellsouth.net PRESTWICK WOMEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION The Prestwick Women's Golf Association has a packed Fall season coming up. It has been great to welcome back our traveling members from their summer vacations and get all of the golf events going in full swing. (No pun intended) November tournaments include inviting CDB WGA members for a FUN DAY on the 13th. Our member/member tournament encourages ladies to choose a partner within 12 strokes handicap to play 9 holes alternate shot and 9 holes scramble on the first day, November 27th. The following Tuesday we will play better ball of the partners. December's main event is the Holiday Scramble hosted by the Niners. Players will be member billed $300 each. New Years Day falls on a Tuesday, so for the first time we will be offering our die hard golfers to play a Shamble with a twist which we are calling Hangover Helper. The last Tuesday in January is our Pauli Waddle Tournament and Social which celebrates the league that our founder Pauli began and honors her love of animals with fund raising efforts being contributed to the Flagler Humane Society. This will be a shotgun at 12:30, net best ball of the foursome with the Pro Shop creating the pairings. The tournament will be followed by hors d'oeuvres and cash bar. We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and Joyous Holiday Season Fran Sampson, President PLANTATION BAY NINERS Happy New Year to everyone and we wish you a Happy & Healthy 2013. The last few months of 2012 have been very busy. Our Hubby/Friend scramble was on November 1st. We had a great crowd at CDB. First place winners were Sheila and Brian Egan and Betty and Bob Rossi. Congratulations and thanks to all the folks who came out and enjoyed the event. We also raised some funds through our raffle to support the Red Cross and their efforts to help those who were impacted by Hurricane Sandy in the North East. We extend a big thank you to Ulrika for her ongoing support and Maria Kesselring and Bernice Stamford for putting it all together. Our Cookie Luncheon was held in December and the dozens of cookies were given to St. Anne’s Pantry to support the needy in Bunnell and Flagler counties. Thank you to all the bakers. Linda Young and Katie Kuhn deserve special recognition for once again organizing this wonderful Holiday effort. We are looking forward to a fun and busy winter with our regular play on Tuesdays at Prestwick and Thursdays at Club de Bonmont. On February 14th, we look forward to the Coastal Niners Invitational at the The Grand Club. On March 11th Palm Harbor will host the Coastal Niners Invitational. We also have our Member Guest at Prestwick on March 20th and our Member at CDB in April. We will wrap up our season with our last away game on April 24th at Hammock Dunes. Be sure to mark your calendars! Please join us! We welcome new members and we now have a recruitment chair, Maureen Ford. Come out for nine holes with the Niners or just come to lunch to meet the ladies and share in the fun. All levels of golfers, beginning, intermediate and advanced are welcome. Please contact Maureen or me for information. Dee McCabe, Vice President 386-265-5804 PRESTWICK MEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION Happy New Year to all our members and their families and a special welcome to our new members. We remember all those affected by hurricane Sandy last October and wish all a speedy recovery from their loss. We trust all have had a joyous holiday and look forward to a mild winter with as little need for woolen hats and gloves, as shadows grow shorter and we look forward to spring. Get ready for some great away tournaments in 2013 as well as our usual great special events. As always we look forward to each Thursday with our diversified array of competition to make play fun and interesting. So, now that the snow birds are back, let’s all get together and re-establish our friendships and support the club at the same time. Of course, Free Beer Thursday will continue this year on the third Thursday of every month. Looking forward to seeing new and old members in 2013 and again to all a happy healthy New Year.

Golf News Turf Talk… by Brad Tucker Superintendent CDB Now that winter is here and the golfing season is in full swing, I cannot help to reflect upon the last three Florida winters. Mother Nature has taught me that Florida winters are basically unpredictable. The winter of 2010, we all thought we were living in Chicago. The winter of 2011, fairly normal. The winter of 2012, it felt like we were living in the Keys. Well all of that aside, I will assume that this winter will be a fairy normal one. This means we can expect our usual 4 to 6 frost delays. I would like to take the opportunity to actually explain why we can’t allow play on the courses when there is frost. How does frost damage turf? Its just partially frozen water, we water the turf all the time. Grass plants, just like all other living organisms, are made up of cells. For a moment, imagine that plant cell as a balloon filled with water. The balloon itself we will view as the cell wall. Just inside the cell wall is the cell membrane. When frozen grass plants are driven or walked on, the sharp edges of the ice punctures the plant cell. This would be similar to sticking a needle in the water balloon. Once this happens, the plant cell looses pressure inside itself, and is no longer able to function. The double edged sword for bermudagrass is that the time of year that this occurs, the turf is least able to recover. Long story short, when turf gets damaged due to frost in the winter time, we can plan on that turf not recovering for 2 to 3 months. My hope is that now members understand why we have to hold up play. In closing, thank you for your course care & enjoy the 2013 golf season.
