Message from Membership

2014 was another great year for membership growth, as we have added 51 new members to date, and earned $207,000 in initiation fees. Initiation fees from all new members go directly into our

capital fund which helps to keep our Clubhouse & grounds in tip top shape.

Recently I was doing some Woodlands membership data mining and I thought I would share a little with you. Did you know that our average age of member is 53? Our youngest member is 26 and

our oldest member is 91. There are 595 spouses who belong to The Woodlands and 1,049 children under the age of 26.

In this month’s newsletter, I’ve included some of the fun photos of our September Safari Night. More fun and festive photos are located on the club’s website in the Safari photo album.

We are in the process of planning the Club’s 2015 Social Calendar. If you have any suggestions for

events, please send them to me at [email protected].

Please join me in welcoming our newest Woodlands Club Members, Stephanie & Carll Wilkinson.

Looking forward to seeing you around the Club,

Mary Anne

From the General Manager Our Clubhouse is just a shade over 26 years old, and like all 26 year old buildings there is always

something to be replaced, repaired or updated. That is especially true of a facility that gets used as

much as ours. Management, in collaboration with the Clubhouse Committee and the Board (under the

direction of President Mark Fasold), has sharpened its focus on those areas of the Club that were

looking particularly tired or in need of repair. This is a never-ending process, and each of you may

immediately think of examples you would like to see addressed. Don’t think for a moment that we

don’t see the same things, but understand that there will always be more wants and needs than

available funds. Some examples of recent, ongoing and soon to be addressed projects include, in no

particular order: replacement of all of the seat coverings in the adult side of the member dining room,

replacement of the member dining table tops, overhaul of the front steps to the main entrance of the

Clubhouse, replacement of carpeting in the Fitness facility, repair and replacement of wood on the

stairs leading up to the patio from outside the golf shop, installation of pavers on the side of the snack

shack facing the golf course, and the replacement of our crumbling water main. Additional planned

projects include an update to the main lobby and a multi-phase upgrade of our ballroom beginning in

2015.

While the end of the golf season is, unfortunately, right around the corner, there is still plenty to do at The Woodlands Club during

the long winter season. For you non-tennis playing members, I have a question. Have you ever given any thought to trying it, or

resurrecting your game if you used to play but no longer do? We have easily one of the best indoor tennis facilities in all of New

England. I can think of several members I have spoken to in recent years who have embraced or re-embraced tennis and have had a

blast. Along those lines, we all know what a great workout swimming is. Beth and Sheilla have a lengthy track record of taking

members who can barely swim down and back and turning them into accomplished swimmers who achieve goals that leave me

envious. In fact, on that front, I should take my own advice and give it a try! Oh, and another winter pursuit that is perfectly

acceptable is to simply gather with friends and family in the dining room and lounge for great food, beverages and music.

This month will bring the end of this work in 2014 on the irrigation replacement project. The Tanto crew members are here on

work visas, and they are required to leave by Thanksgiving. As I write this, we are in the midst of our worst weather week in a long

time, but if it turns and we get another decent stretch they will come close to completing the golf course this year. Regardless,

there won’t be a lot to finish up in 2015. As I have said repeatedly, we couldn’t be any happier with how this project has gone. It has

truly exceeded our expectations, and by a wide margin. Until next month, we will see you around the Club.

4TH ANNUAL

FAMILY & INDIVIDUAL

WINTER SWIM CHALLENGE November 1-February 28

Cost: Free!

Register by phone (781-3104 ext.112) or via e-mail to [email protected]

Welcome to our 4th Annual Winter Swim Challenge! Once again we will be offering

the Family Challenge category and the 100 Mile distance as well as maintaining

our traditional 20 & 50 Mile challenge format. Starting November 1 and

continuing through February, we will be running a FUN 4 month self-recording

distance swim program for the average and slightly above average swimmer. We

have selected 20, 50, and 100 Mile swim distances that can be achieved in three to

four months depending on distance and level of commitment. You can even miss a

week or two and finish on time. If you have never done much swimming but know

how to swim, this will be a nice way to surprise yourself with how much you can

accomplish. The other benefit is that when mid-February comes, you’ll be all ready

for that warm winter vacation. The distance challenge is all about achieving

the distance so you can swim any stroke, use fins or even just kick or pull to

achieve your goal. It doesn’t matter if you finish first, last or somewhere in between.

All finishes are equally important! Along the way, fun little prizes will be awarded to

those who meet their monthly targets. The aquatics staff will support you, so give us

guidance about what you’d like… maybe some fun sets, maybe some technique

drills… maybe just be left alone. Registrants who complete the challenge will receive

prizes.

FAMILY 20, 50, or 100 MILE Swim Challenge

All family members compile their distances to contribute to the total.

Husbands and wives make a great team too!

Encourage other families to join your family in the swim challenge.

20 MILE Swim Challenge (35,200 yards total)

This is a Pro-Active Winter/Holiday swim challenge for the average person.

Swim 108 lengths of the pool each week (2700 yards/week) and rack up

6 miles/month.

Choose your schedule distance:

For example:

3 times/week = 36 lengths each visit

2 times = 54

1 = 108 OR you can swim more some weeks than others

50 MILE Swim Challenge (88,000 yards total)

For the more experienced swimmer

Swim 6,300 yards per week

100 MILE Swim Challenge (176,000 yards total)

For the more experienced swimmer

Swim 12,600 yards per week

Fitness

Exercising Etiquette

Having Gym Shoes

Changing to indoor shoes and not wearing street shoes during the winter

months helps the fitness center equipment stay clean and live a healthy and

happier life.

Banging and Dropping Weights

Please refrain from banging and dropping the weights in the fitness center.

More than the disruptive noise, it shortens the life of the equipment

considerably.

Picking Up Your Equipment

Please return the equipment you use during your workouts to their rightful

place, be courteous of your fellow members and help keep the fitness center

clean and functional.

Guests in the Fitness Center

Please sign in guests when using the fitness, Racquetball, and Squash facilities.

Guests are allowed to visit these facilities five times per calendar year.

Training Rates

Effective January 1, 2015, personal training rates will increase

slightly. However, even after this modest increase our rates will still be far

below market value.

suggestions, we would be happy gladly hear them.

The new rates will be:

30 Minutes: $30.00

45 Minutes: $39.00

Golf

From the Director of Golf

If you haven’t tried the golf simulator yet, it is really great! It is a radar based system that

calculates launch angle, distance, club and ball speed and spin rates while providing instant

feedback. It doubles as one of the most precise club fitting tools available today. This is definitely

not your father’s golf simulator!

When taking Golf lessons in the simulator, you will be able to see not just the specifics

mentioned above, but the path of your swing as well. It’s so much easier to improve with tangible

feedback.

It’s hard to believe you can play Pebble Beach without leaving Maine. The simulator is very easy to use and is incredibly

accurate. The practice range feature offers a ton of useful feedback and provides easy to read graphics. As an alternative,

the indoor practice net will remain available and is located along with the simulator in the bag storage room (off the

fitness entry alcove). You may enter through the door located in the fitness alcove during normal club hours. Just follow

the signs.

Both the low tech (free) net and the high tech (fee) simulator are available on a first come, first served basis. There are no

“tee times” for the net. Reserve the simulator by going to the golf page on the club’s website and follow the directions.

It’s easy.

Please remember, in order to make this program successful, we are relying on your adherence to the honor system. The

golf committee is tracking how the simulator is used. Please check off the box (play golf or range) when using the simulator.

You must bring your own golf clubs or make arrangements to borrow clubs from the golf staff in advance.

BE SAFE– LOOK BEFORE YOU SWING-MAKE SURE THE AREA IS CLEAR! Have fun!

Doug Van Wickler, PGA

DID YOU KNOW??? Golf lessons may be taken by anyone, regardless of

membership classification.

A November Golf Tip? Brr…

Although no one knows what Mother Nature will bring for

November, it can be a great time to play. The trick to playing in

cool weather is...DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO

KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM!

Here are a few ideas to make chilly weather golf more fun:

• Don’t start a round cold because you’ll never get warm. Dress

warmly ahead of time. You can always shed a layer of clothing.

• Walking is warmer than taking a cart.

• Avoid injury, warm up. Walk briskly from the parking lot to

the golf shop. It gets the blood flowing. Don’t forget to stretch.

• The ball does not travel as far in cold weather. You will lose

about two yards for every ten degree decrease in temperature.

More if the ball is cold as well. Take one more club on a 50

degree day.

• With additional layers of clothing it is important to note that

your shoulder turn may be restricted. If I am at a distance

where I normally hit 7 iron, I may choke down and inch or two

on a 5 iron. My focus is on solid contact.

Thank you all for your support this season. I hope you enjoyed

the season as much as we did.

From the Director of Tennis

You can get a PhD in sport psychology these

days, but nothing is more fundamental to

mental toughness and your game than

watching the ball into the strings, and you

don’t need a degree to become an expert. Bad

eye contact falls under the mental part of the

game because anxiety and rushing the stroke are what takes a

player’s eyes off the ball. We can’t, as players, eliminate the anxiety,

but we can, most certainly, learn to keep our strokes together in

the face of it. Our pros and I have been discussing this issue lately

and we want to help you. Stop in, give us a call, shoot us an email,

or join a clinic and we can help you specifically with how to “watch

the ball”.
