Update from Your Board of Directors 

Membership 

At the start of 2012 the Board decided that a major push 

should be made to attract new members. The main objectives 

of the membership drive were to: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

offset the 50 or so members that typically leave 

the club each year 

bolster our revenue as we target improving our 

operations contribution 

improve our Cash position in order to make some 

much needed purchases of replacement equipment and afford a one-time balloon payment to h e l p 

reduce the mortgage principal. 

All this had to be to be achieved in a poor economy and one of the worst cycles in the golfing industry. 

The plan involved a time-limited, fairly aggressive cut of our Initiation fees to attract the 50 new members we 

were targeting. While our General Manager, Gord Sarkissian, took the lead on securing new members it 

really could not have been accomplished without the help of our existing members who between them 

brought in over 75 % of the 72 new members we signed up. Initiation fees were increased effective July 15 th 

(after the new member goal was reached) but remain very competitive for a private golf course of this caliber. 

As dues are the major contributor to our revenue stream, we needed to increase this revenue speedily by 

bolstering our Full Play membership. It was decided to offer, on a limited time basis, a discounted transfer 

rate. 22 Associate men and women took advantage of this offer resulting in an immediate impact on our 

monthly cash flow. We reviewed members’ payment plan status which resulted in 10 members paying off 

their plans. Altogether our Cash position improved by over $550,000 and we are going into the new fiscal 

year with a stronger revenue position with the higher dues base which will be offset somewhat by resigning 

members. 

As outlined in our Strategic Plan, our two broad membership objectives are to grow dues revenue through 

membership retention, replacement and growth and to work on enhancing membership value. The Membership 

Committee has been exploring many options geared at both existing and potential members. One such 

example is the Private Club Network that we recently joined which allows all of our members discounted golf 

at over 150 private golf courses in various parts of North America. 

Moving forward our membership rates remain at the July 15 th level and we have implemented very attractive 

financing options to attract new members in these difficult market conditions. We are examining our marketing 

plan in concert with management and the Communications Committee. Of our 72 new members, 58 

came from the Tsawwassen/Ladner area. We believe there are opportunities to attract new members in outlying 

markets. Our main source for new members will undoubtedly continue to be our existing members 

who hopefully will want to share their club with others.

MESSAGE FROM THE CLUB CAPTAIN 

By Bill Carcary 

Although October started out with great weather, it didn’t take long to make us realize 

Fall was here. The Men’s Closing Day had to be cancelled after about 9 holes of 

play, with inclement weather and poor playing conditions. Even though we hated to 

do it, most seemed to concur that it was the right thing to do. Following the cancelation 

a great lunch was served by Brad and his staff, and some fellowship was enjoyed. 

The final event for the year was the Challenge Cup held on October 20th. The top twenty players for the year 

played a Stableford match for the day. Congratulations to the winner of the day Murray Malloy, and Randy 

Doherty the overall winner for the year. 

As reported in an e-mail and postings throughout the clubhouse, effective October 20th, we have gone to 

Winter Rules through the green, and the Winter Bunker rules of lift, rake, and place. In addition we have also 

gone to our Inactive Season, however, scores still need to be posted whether playing courses with an Active 

or Inactive season. 

In regards to the posting of scores I have recently been informed of a number of instances where individuals 

have not been posting all their scores. In respect for the integrity of the game please be sure to post all 

scores! As per the Handicap Manual: 

“Two basic Premises underlie the 

Handicap System, namely that each 

player will try to make the best score 

at every hole in every round, regardless 

of where the round was played, 

and that the player will post every 

acceptable round for peer review. 

The player and the player’s Handicap 

Committee have a joint responsibility 

for adhering to these premises” 

One of our biggest areas of concern 

this year has been our Tee Time 

booking and trying to make it fair and 

equitable for all members. As a result 

of this we have struck a committee to 

come up with solutions and have a 

policy in place for next years golf season. 

We will be requesting information 

and feedback from members, 

and will keep you up to date on our 

progress. 

Good (Winter) Golfing!

WOMEN’S SECTION 

By Kathi Hobbs 

This will be my last report to the Beachcomber 

as Women’s Captain. As I mentioned 

in our Closing Luncheon, I learned a 

lot about the workings of the Women’s Section 

over the year. It seems by the time you 

have it figured out, your time is over! 

Both the Tuesday and Business Women have had their closing 

meetings and all prizes and awards have been given out. 

Mickie McCune, Laurene Whalley & 

Sandra McKinnon. 

Single Match Play, which was organized this year by Laraine Clenahan, was 

also won by her. She received the Dunning Trophy with Anne Andrew winning 

the Charuk Cup. Partner Match Play was won by Judy Jager and Julie Lyman, a 

formidable couple to beat. 

The Tuesday Partner Eclectic was won by Helen Austin and Deborah Edgeworth 

with a net score of 57. 

Our BCGA Pin Round 18 Hole Winner was Marg Malloy with Jean Angers being 

the winner of 9 Holes. The RCGA Pin was a tie this year between Marg Malloy 

and Laraine Clenahan. 

Merle Duffy 

This year Merle Duffy had to share the Chip-in Trophy with Helen Austin. Birdies was won by Mellodee Rayne 

and Sandies by Beverley Kaiser. 

The Most Improved Golfer goes to Pam Windover. 

Mellodee Rayne & Pam Windover 

Our year long Eclectic Gross Winner was Mellodee Rayne with a 64. 

Runner-up was Laraine Clenahan with a 69. Low Net Winner was 

Laurene Whalley with a 44 and Runner-up was Deborah Edgeworth 

with a 49 (BB9). Low Gross 9 Holers was Jean Angers and Low Net 

was Susan Rivers. 

Congratulations to all winners this year! 

The Christmas Scramble and Lunch is on December 4th. There will 

be the usual auction for The Kate Booth House, so remember to give your auction items to Barb Bastedo. 

On a final note, I want to thank my Match Committee - Barb Bastedo, Elaine Dickie, Ann Hilton, Sandra Hargreaves, 

Lynn Turner, Roberta Wing, Lynn Wood, Nancy Wobick, Mitzi Cannon and Grace Lai. A thank you to 

Mary Adams for her help with the Club Championship. 

Special thanks to the Pro Shop - Brent, Andy, Cory and Brad. And last, but not least, a great big thank you to 

Heather Willis.

BUSINESS WOMEN’S SECTION 

By Deb Mitchell 

tournaments. 

The leaves are turning and the rain is falling so it 

must be time to close the book on another fun and 

successful active golf season – and to review the 

highlights of the year and acknowledge our event 

winners. It was encouraging to see such great participation 

and enthusiasm for our annual events and 

We kicked things off on a fun note with the Captain vs. Vice-Captain 

tournament. This year’s theme of Cool vs. Hot proved to be very 

popular – the last time I saw that much neon pink in one place I was 

sporting a spiral perm, parachute pants and some serious shoulder 

pads! 

Dyann Russell & Nancy Girling 

Pretty in Pink! 

Next up was the Tuesday vs. Business tournament and we couldn’t have asked for a better finish. With the 

score tied it all came down to the final match – everyone waited anxiously for the results of the last pairing. 

I can still hear the applause and cheers when the score went up and we saw the Business Women had 

pulled through to grab the trophy (and bragging rights) back from the Tuesday Women. I’m sure it will be 

another epic battle next year. 

Then came the first Champions Reception tournament of the season: the 2-Day Eclectic tournament. This 

event had another close finish. With 2 players tied at net 64 it came down to the better back 2 to declare 

this year’s winner. Congratulations to Julie Lyman – she’s off to the Champion’s Reception to celebrate her 

win! 

Another highlight was the 3 rd Annual “Solheim Cup” competition between the Quilchena Business Women 

and the Beach Grove Business Women. Day 1 saw Beach Grove take an 8-4 lead in the best ball team 

match play. Quilchena made a run at a European-like comeback in Day 2 singles match play but came up 

just short, with Beach Grove retaining the Cup - 12.5 to 11.5. 

And of course then there’s the legendary Partner’s Challenge tournament! 

What more can be said about this event? Another great weekend 

of beautiful weather, amazing food and party, lots of laughter and 

at the end of it all new champions crowned – the team of Lorie Mauro 

& Debbie Warren. 

Kelly Lattimer & Nancy Sayfy enjoy the 

Partner’s Challenge Party 

One final highlight of the year was Beach Grove’s performance in the 

Golf BC Zone 3-4 Business Women’s League. The Beach Grove team 

won 2 of our 4 team matches and finished 6 th in the overall Zone 

standings. But we saved our best for last. At the year end Zone 3-4 

Business Women’s tournament Beach Grove won the prestigious 

Team of the Day honors when our pre-selected team of 4 players 

(Nancy Girling, Merle Duffy, Margit Schroder and Julie Lyman) turned 

in the lowest cumulative net score of the field – a combined 6 over 

par. Well done ladies!

This competition runs until Opening Day and is

Low Net and Low Gross scores. Any round of golf 

played at Beach Grove on a Saturday or Sunday can 

be counted. You can play your round any time of 

day, from any set of tees. 

The cost to enter is $5 for the Front 9 competition 

or $10 for the 18-hole competition. 

Please contact Dyann Russell or Barb Trerise to register. 

It was great to see such a strong turnout for our closing breakfast, awards and meeting – just unfortunate 

that Mother Nature didn’t co-operate and washed away any hope of holding our closing day tournament. It’s 

been an interesting year with a lot of changes within our Club and particularly within the Women’s section. 

We’re fortunate to have such an active group of women golfers at Beach Grove and hopefully we can continue 

to attract new members to both our Tuesday and Business sections and continue to increase participation 

in all of our women’s tournaments and events.

2012 SENIORS’ LEAGUE INTERCLUB 

By Bryon Wellar 

This year Beach Grove did very well in the round robin 

matches against the other clubs. We finished in first place, 

2.5 points ahead of Richmond. 

Unfortunately in the Wind-up Tournament, Richmond 

played well and earned enough points to overtake us and 

claim the trophy. 

The wrap-up dinner and tournament at Quilchena was 

blessed with dry weather. We had a great turn out and fun 

was had by all. 

Remember to sign up for next year! Applications will be 

available in the Pro Shop and Locker Room early in 2013. 

Have a safe and happy holiday season and we look forward 

to seeing you next year!

GENERAL MANAGER’S MUSINGS 

By Gord Sarkissian 

What could possibly be more exciting than bagging a Hole-In-One at your favorite Golf 

Club? How about getting another one a mere three months later! That’s exactly what 

Club President Larry Wobick did this year. In fact, Larry scored two of the nineteen recorded 

at the Club during the 2012 golf season. Not bad for a fellow who registered 

around 140 games in the last year. 

As a Club, your favorite target was hole #7 where 9 aces occurred followed by holes #4 and #13 where 3 each 

were recorded. Lastly, the 2nd hole saw two Holes-In-One in 2012. Generally speaking, the odds makers give 

the average golfer a 1 in 12,000 chance of scoring a Hole-In-One. 

The Club was proud to host the South 

Delta Rams Football organization as 

they gathered for their annual fundraiser 

and pub night. Rams President, 

and Beach Grove Member, Tim 

Brumby proudly wore the green and 

gold as he and the other guests 

danced the night away while raising a 

nice bit of funding for this exceptional 

community football program. Not so 

many years ago, Past President Frank 

Tarling led this group to many victories 

both on and off the field. Our Staff 

really enjoyed hosting this group. 

Thanks to all our Members for opening 

your doors to the community. 

Staff Get into the Spirit!

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT 

by Ian Murray 

At the time of writing I have to state that from feedback and observations the course 

playing conditions have remained very good for this time of season and considering that 

we received 9.15 inches of rainfall from October 13th to November 1st. There is no doubt 

that keeping our course dry through late summer has extended better than normal conditions 

through early fall. Our Maintenance Team is well into the daily routine and challenge 

of cleaning-up the course with blowers, leaf mulching, raking, sweeping, removing 

branches, chipping, cleaning-out beds, checking and cleaning drains, stump clean-up, top-dressing traffic areas, 

and of course mowing all the turf! Staff have also spent two days winterizing the irrigation systems at 

the clubhouse, maintenance facility, and golf course. This is a delicate procedure as the system is pressurized 

with compressed air to remove the water from the lines, valves, and sprinkler heads. 

With the sudden transition to fall please be aware that areas on the course may become slippery under foot 

particularly concentrated traffic areas around the tees and greens. To avoid having an accident, always use 

stair cases where provided, avoid walking on steep slopes, walk on your toes (not flat-foot) when walking 

downhill, and be certain that your foot-wear is suitable and in good condition. Should you notice any areas 

becoming slippery please report this to us so we can address the situation in a timely manner. 

For protection of the golf course we have initiated our winter preparations to help reduce the accumulated 

impact of steady play through the off-season; a time of significantly reduced growth and recovery of turf areas. 

We ask that you please do your part by always observing the posted notifications, on-course signage, 

roping of problem areas, and by using your best judgment in the interest of not causing any undue damage. 

The alternate greens are being maintained ready for use at any time when conditions warrant the protection 

of the regular greens mainly excessive moisture, soft surface conditions, frost, frozen ground, or severe disease 

pressure. 

We would like to welcome Wesley Schulz to our Maintenance Team. With a background in landscape maintenance 

and management and education in Horticulture and Arboriculture Wesley is applying his skills and 

knowledge while learning the fine art of golf course maintenance practices. Wesley has filled a position vacated 

by Spencer Vandenbos who recently accepted another opportunity closer to home while he continues 

his studies to pursue his goal of becoming a Firefighter. Thank you Spencer for your contributions over the 

past years and we wish you all the best with your future endeavors. 

On Saturday, November 3rd our Club is hosting the 6 th annual Hannah’s Heroes 

Fall Fundraiser dinner, dance, and auctions event where 100% of the 

proceeds go directly to the foundation and help support the BC Child and 

Family Research Institute to help find a cure for Pediatric Brain Cancer. Our 

local Tsawwassen girl was only 4 years old when she was diagnosed with inoperable 

brain cancer and passed away the following year on October 31 st . 

Her Mother Cathy passed away a year later from cancer at the young age of 40. In the past few years new 

and very promising developments have been discovered by the extremely dedicated and hard working research 

team. We would like to recognize the tireless efforts of Staff member Nichole Windblad for her continued 

work as the Hannah’s Heroes Event Coordinator. Nichole, a former neighbor of the Hatlen Family 

commits a tremendous amount of time and energy towards this cause. Way to go Nichole! For more information

Andy Hajer Named PGA of BC Junior Leader of the Year 

What a great year for Andy! He got married, won the Pro-Am and now Andy 

has been named the Lower Mainland’s Junior Leader of the Year by the Professional 

Golf Association of BC. This award recognizes Golf Professionals who 

are leaders in junior golf and who reflect the ideals of those who work with 

youth. 

Andy came to Beach Grove Golf Club five years ago and began working with 

junior golfers immediately upon joining the club. Working with a wonderful 

group of volunteers and other golf professionals, Andy has helped build 

one of the best and most active Junior Programs in the Province. This 

year more than 300 golfers as young as four participated in the various 

programs generating significant revenue for the club, but more importantly 

instilling a lifelong love for the game of golf. 

Now that Andy has been recognized as the regional winner of this 

award, he will be considered for the BCPGA Provincial Leader of the 

Year in mid November. Congratulations, Andy, for this very well deserved 

recognition!

FOOD AND BEVERAGE CORNER 

By Brad Bell 

It’s only November, but the Festive Season is in full force for the Food & Beverage department! 

Hard not to feel festive with all the bookings we have been taking for all 

kinds of Members’ Holiday functions. If you’re looking for something to get you in the 

mood in December, we have something for you! Whether it be our famous Breakfasts 

with Santa, our Dickens Dinner buffet, or a small custom party for your office, contact the Food and Beverage 

department for information on how you can be a part of the festivities this November/December.

put together an exciting new menu for the club with some creative new dishes, along with all the classics. 

One of the exciting aspects of our new menu will be a Fresh Sheet which will commence in early November. 

The idea behind the Fresh Sheet is to sample potential menu items, address some of the requests of members, 

and provide an increased selection of dishes. It will add a nice seasonal compliment to the many selections 

we already offer. 

We’d like to wish you good fortune as you prepare for great food, drinks, and fellowship over this festive season!

SAY HELLO TO OUR NEW CATERING & EVENTS MANAGER—APRIL! 

Hello Beach Grove Club Members, I am happy to introduce myself 

as your new Catering and Events Manager. You have a beautiful facility 

and great community here. I look forward to working with you 

for special events and getting to know you all around the clubhouse. 

I have grown up in Ladner and been a part of the Tsawwassen community 

for years. I attended high school at South Delta Secondaryand 

was raised in the Tsawwassen Alliance Church. I am excited to see a lot of familiar faces here already. 

I come from a back ground of over 10 years in hospitality. It has taken me many to exciting places such as BC 

Ferries, Marriott Hotels, and Hilton Hotels. Although the fast paced life downtown Vancouver drew many 

thrilling stories, I am happy to now work amongst neighbors and long term members of the community I call 

my home. 

Please feel free to call me anytime if you have 

questions or inquiries. I look forward to the opportunity 

to meet you all in the coming months.
