Fresh look<br />
The clubhouse has been neglected for too long and it’s time we<br />
restore it to help maintain the integrity of the physical buildings.<br />
What’s new at HMGC? The focus has been on the exterior of the<br />
clubhouse facilities and giving it a fresh new look.<br />
• Repainting of the clubhouse, pro shop, and cart barn has taken<br />
place along with a fresh coat of paint to the pool house and the<br />
wood fencing to bring the buildings and color together with the<br />
same look.<br />
• A replacement of the majority of wood soffits, trim, fascia, and<br />
support posts has been a part of the project. As well as many other<br />
areas of building including new gutters and down spouts. The<br />
under roofed area of the breezeway between the pro shop and<br />
clubhouse will be enclosed.<br />
• The tattered green awning is being replaced with a new frame<br />
and contemporary black awning. It will remain year round unlike<br />
the previous awning that was removed every winter.<br />
We hope you enjoy the fresh new look to <strong>Highland</strong>. Come out and<br />
enjoy your club! - See next month’s <strong>Highland</strong>er for the after photo.<br />

Introducing the newest addition to<br />
"<strong>Club</strong>s within the <strong>Club</strong>", the Fitness<br />
<strong>Club</strong>. The Fitness <strong>Club</strong> will begin with<br />
the Summer Fitness Workshop Series.<br />
This series features different workshops<br />
that focus on health and fitness<br />
for just our lady members!<br />
chair-person: Michael Lang<br />
NEw Dining Room Supervisor: Jessica bailey<br />
As far back as I can remember, my fondest memories<br />
include food—prepping, baking, eating, and feeding.<br />
My childhood summers were spent on a step stool plating<br />
desserts and salads for a buffet line at a now closed<br />
destination restaurant in Tecumseh, MI. When I was old<br />
enough to not raise the ire of child labor groups, I began<br />
waiting tables after school and on weekends. Through<br />
high school, college, and even my 10 year career as a<br />
legal secretary, I enjoyed providing quality service to aid<br />
in a memorable dining experience to thousands of hungry<br />
guests at a popular casual fine dining restaurant on<br />
Wamplers Lake in Brooklyn, MI.<br />
For me, the key to a memorable dining experience is<br />
a team effort that includes the front of the house and<br />
the heart of the house, the kitchen. Quality service isn't<br />
only the server's attentiveness or personality. It's the<br />
knowledge of the products offered by an establishment,<br />
from the wines and liquors at the bar, to the ingredients and preparation of dishes on the menu.<br />
It's having the confidence of being able to guide a member through a remarkable meal prepared<br />
with the finest ingredients. It's paying close attention to all of the details from the cleanliness of a<br />
table, the warmth of a dining room, and the presentation of the food. Most of all, quality service<br />
is knowing that at the end of a meal the member is more than satisfied with the delicious feast<br />
and libations set before them. As a whole, my service philosophy is rather simple: to treat each<br />
member that dines at the <strong>Meadows</strong> as if they were a guest in my own home.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> is looking to provide a diverse environment to accommodate<br />
different facets and interest of the membership. In response, we have<br />
created “<strong>Club</strong>s within the <strong>Club</strong>.” Each <strong>Club</strong> is organized and chaired by<br />
the members but hosted at <strong>Highland</strong>.<br />
Summer Fitness workshop Series<br />
the first workshops focus on health:<br />
workshop #3 (pilates) <strong>June</strong> 30 | 9am | $30<br />
Learn to build strength properly from deep within the intrinsic<br />
muscles along the spine. This changes the way you workout<br />
and move through life in general.<br />
the final workshops focus on fitness:<br />
workshop #4 (Kettlebells) July 28 | 9am | $30<br />
Learn to properly recruit all muscles in the body to increase<br />
strength and power. This way of moving helps in sports or just<br />
picking up a bag of mulch without throwing your back out.<br />
workshop #5: (Metabolic blast) aug 25 | 9am | $30<br />
The mother of all workouts! If you are pushed for time or<br />
want to get more out of your workout, this workshop is a must!<br />

Junior <strong>Golf</strong><br />
As the spring goes away and school lets out, our junior golf programs<br />
begin. This year we have enhanced our program for juniors to<br />
learn the game and elevate their skills. Starting Friday, <strong>June</strong> 8 we<br />
will begin our year long program that takes place for every Friday<br />
through August 3. This program is available for juniors ages 4-11<br />
to learn more about the game. Building on 2011, we will continue<br />
with the advanced development program, structured for juniors<br />
12 and up. This program is a game enhancement program that<br />
helps juniors elevate their games for junior tournaments and<br />
prepare them for High School golf. A continuation of last fall’s<br />
Junior High League we have added a summer league program<br />
that is designed for High school development. One of the goals<br />
to this year’s program was to help junior’s grow and develop as<br />
young players. I believe these programs will help grow today’s<br />
youth and lead them to enjoy a game for life. Additional information<br />
is available in the Pro Shop and from the <strong>Club</strong>’s website.<br />
Rounds played: It’s amazing the difference a year makes. By the<br />
end of May, we will have doubled the number of rounds played<br />
this year compared to last season. In <strong>2012</strong>, we will have over<br />
3,000 more rounds year-to-date, which is the equivalent to a full<br />
month.<br />
<strong>June</strong> Tournaments: In the upcoming months we have some fun<br />
events to participate in. On Wednesday, <strong>June</strong> 13 we have a Member<br />
Guest, which is a 2PM shotgun. The next weekend <strong>June</strong> 16 and<br />
17 we will crown this year’s Senior <strong>Club</strong> Champion. Thursday,<br />
Hole-in-One:<br />
Rick Osgood<br />
Hole #17 • 147 Yards • 8 Iron<br />
<strong>June</strong> 21 is the Summer Solstice <strong>Golf</strong> Marathon.<br />
This is a fun event with various formats and<br />
multiple rounds for members and guests. Gather<br />
your friends, tell your buddies and bring some<br />
guests and get involved in these great events.<br />
Governor’s Cup and Senior Tourney Results: I<br />
would like to congratulate all who participated<br />
in the <strong>2012</strong> Governor’s Cup and Senior Tourney.<br />
In a tough battle, Glenn Flick captured the net<br />
title, while Kevin Kornowa captured the gross division.<br />
In conjunction to the Governor’s Cup was<br />
the Senior Tourney. Rick Elrod, Gordy Wilson,<br />
Charlie Creech all captured the gross divisions<br />
in their respective age groups. While in the net<br />
divisions, Brian Darah, Mike Sheline, and Glenn<br />
Flick captured respective age groups. Thanks to<br />
all who enjoyed these events and participated.<br />

Pro Tip<br />
Driving Range Etiquette: When using the driving<br />
range and short game areas this year, try to contain your<br />
divots into a tight pattern. After hitting a shot, place the<br />
ball directly behind the original divot keeping it as close<br />
to the edges as possible. Start forward and work your<br />
way back in a nice tight pattern. Proceed with this format<br />
throughout your practice session. This will reduce<br />
the turf area that is taken up during a practice session.

Sustainability<br />
Recently, I was at a turf maintenance seminar about “sustainability”<br />
as it applies to golf course and turf maintenance. It would seem<br />
that the word “sustainability” has eclipsed “green” as the buzz<br />
word of choice in our industry. Sustainability, as defined by the <strong>Golf</strong><br />
Course Superintendent’s Association of America is “the integration<br />
of environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic<br />
viability as a critical and never-ending goal.” We are focusing not<br />
just on doing what is right for the planet and human health, but<br />
also keeping the golf and turf industry as a whole profitable and<br />
relevant.<br />
In our corner of Ohio, the current state of the golf industry is no<br />
mystery. The amount of money spent on rounds of golf and club<br />
memberships has declined steadily and dramatically over the last<br />
several years. Along with that, the idea of golf courses as waterguzzling,<br />
pesticide-laden, environment-wrecking atrocities is still<br />
very prevalent. The algae blooms in Lake Erie, drought in 38% of<br />
the US, phosphorus issues all over the great lakes and eastern seaboard,<br />
and a lingering negative perception by non-golfers all make<br />
for a public relations nightmare. I doubt a government bailout<br />
would ever be extended our direction.<br />
The other side of this is people like us in the grounds department<br />
that depend on the industry not for recreation but for a livelihood.<br />
In a recent survey by the Ohio Turfgrass Foundation, the turf<br />
industry in Ohio alone accounts for $4.6 billion annually in economic<br />
impact and 42,000 jobs between golf courses, lawn care, municipalities,<br />
and public entities.<br />
From an environmental perspective, the maintenance of Ohio’s 4<br />
million acres in turf also contributes greatly to the health of the<br />

planet. While trees tend to get all of the press,<br />
turfgrass is also excellent at sequestering carbon.<br />
An average home lawn can sequester 300 lbs of<br />
carbon per year, and a single fairway can grab<br />
almost 1500 lbs due to the increased density.<br />
According to the US Department of Energy, a 50year-old<br />
hardwood tree only grabs around 127 lbs!<br />
The trick on our end is to manage things carefully<br />
so we aren’t putting more carbon into the<br />
turf maintenance in the forms of fuel, fertilizer,<br />
shipping etc. than we are getting out of the atmosphere.<br />
Watching carbon closely benefits the <strong>Club</strong><br />
in controlling costs. Here at <strong>Highland</strong>, new hybrid<br />
fairway mowers, filling unnecessary bunkers, unmaintained<br />
rough areas, reduced creek maintenance,<br />
more efficient watering techniques, use of<br />
more efficient chemicals and fertilizers, and many<br />
other small things have combined to get us started<br />
in the right direction. New and exciting research,<br />
chemicals, fertilizers, sprinklers, techniques, and<br />
fuel-efficient machines are becoming available<br />
constantly. We strive each year to stay up-to-date<br />
with all of these and use what we can to move our<br />
facility forward environmentally while hopefully<br />
loosening up the bottom line and keeping the golf<br />
course in great shape.<br />
