Writer Sheelah Kolhatkar will talk about her book, Black Edge, at a lunch at the Club on Thursday, May 18, at 12 p.m.
Black Edge is the story of the billionaire trader Steven A. Cohen, the rise and fall of his hedge fund, SAC Capital, and the largest insider trading investigation in history.
According to American Heiress author Jeffrey Toobin, it is “a tour de force of groundbreaking reporting and brilliant storytelling, a revealing inside account of how the Feds track a high-profile target – and, just as important, an unsettling portrayal of how Wall Street works today.”
Kolhatkar is a former hedge fund analyst and current staff writer at The New Yorker where she writes about Wall Street, Silicon Valley and politics, among other things. She has appeared on CNBC, Bloomberg Television, Charlie Rose, PBS NewsHour, CBS, NPR, as well as podcasts and live conferences. Her writing has appeared in Bloomberg Businessweek, New York Magazine, The Atlantic and The New York Times.

Ready for a mystery-solving, puzzle-cracking team game night at
the Club on Tuesday, May 16, at 5:30 p.m.? Puzzle designer Sandy Weisz, founder of
the Mystery League and whose puzzles have been featured on Will Shortz’s NPR Sunday Puzzle, will lead a game night that is all about teamwork to solve puzzles based on clues, codes and out of the box thinking. Sandy’s scenario: Your team is presented with a locked briefcase and must find a way (solving a puzzle) to break into it and use what spills out (a newspaper, a magic wand, a Bible, a calculator, a wallet, a pile of stocks, a Wonka bar, you get the picture) to identify and solve 10 parallel puzzles and, ultimately, the code to a safe. Players will be broken up into teams of 8–10 (or sign up as a team). A team can usually solve the game in two hours.
Reservations required on or before May 9. Food and beverage à la carte from the Presidents’ Bar. Cash prize.Reservations: . . . . . . online at the Club calendarPrice: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $35 inclusive

g o l f s o c i e t yUsually, when it comes
time to pen the invitation to the Golf Society Spring Kick-Off, I write of scotch, snow, a fire in the hearth and longingly dreaming of spring golf. This year with
the unprecedented absence of snow in Chicago during January and February, many of us have been able to scratch our itch for the game. This in no way inhibits my ability to include a dram of scotch in the text (or on my desk whilst I write). It does, however, alter the subject of my winter reading and, as a result, of my Bernard Darwin plagiarization:
I do not know what anonymous genius invented the expression ‘good useless golf,’ but he said in three words what we most of us say in far too many when we have just lost a match. Indeed, I fancy that he said it, not with any conscious desire of turning a phrase, but in the hope of checking a flood of lamentable explanation that did not interest him.
Those three words generally imply an essential futility in the neighborhood of the green and an incapacity to take chances. We may spurt, but we always wait just too long before doing so. We are never beaten by much, but we are always beaten.
The opposite of this admirable phrase is less often heard, and yet ‘bad useful golf ’ conveys just as pithily and distinctly a common state of affairs. No single tee shot is clearly hit: the ball is, as a rule, smothered or half-topped, and has a touch of slice on it, and yet it always evades the bunker by inches. The iron shots are poor things, mistimed and pushed out; still they scramble onto the green somehow; generally by means of a lucky kick. And the putting and chipping from off the edge of the green are, of course, beyond reproach. The doubtful puts are all holed, and two or three long ones stagger into the cup.
If this bad useful golf is to be as useful as possible we should observe certain rules of conduct. We should accept it for what it is, and not try for the moment to improve upon it. We should say with somebody in the Battle of Lake Regillus, ‘The gods, who live forever, are on our side today,’ and leave the matter in their hands accordingly.
Please join your fellow Club members for the Golf Society’s annual spring kick-off and Masters viewing party at the Club on Thursday, April 6, beginning at 5 p.m. Golf Society members as well as those interested in taking a look are invited for an evening of food, drink, exaggeration and all of the
usual elements of the Club’s finest society’s bonhomie. Hosted by yours truly and my faithful sidekick, Ed Tindall, you can expect to learn about our newest partnership with the Western Golf Association and the Evans Scholar Par Club program. We’re also excited to lay out an outline of 2017’s exceptional schedule. Beginning with Westmoreland, Exmoor and Butler National, we expect to have an enjoyable season including the Michigan trip before culminating with the club championship at Skokie Country Club.
The Golf Society is a vibrant group of fun-loving members including golfers of every ability. If you’re not a member, please come check us out!
My scotch glass nearing empty I’ll simply wish all of us a season of “bad useful golf” and great fun under the sun and on the fairways. Please contact Ed at 312.696.2230 or [email protected] for more information on the society.

Rob Fisher of Fisher Family Vineyards
Join us on Wednesday, April 19, as we welcome Rob Fisher, general manager of
Fisher Vineyards, for a winemaker dinner. For decades the words “body by Fisher” were affixed to many of Detroit’s finest vehicles and from that beginning came the creation of Fisher Vineyards, founded by Fred Fisher in the 1970s. From an initial parcel in the Mayacamas Mountains in northern California, Fisher now holds some of the very best mountain estate vineyards including parcels that parallel the legendary Eisele Vineyard. Producing primarily world class single vineyard Chardonnay and Cabernet, the wines consistently scored in the mid to high 90s by Wine Spectator and Advocate. Our dinner will feature a broad representation of the wines with a focus on the big Cabs which are coming off several superlative vintages. Chef Mark Baker will create a vineyard-inspired menu and include a light reception prior to the dinner. This will be a terrific evening as we hear firsthand Rob’s family story and his vision for the future.

Domaine Drouhin & Maison Joseph DrouhinOn Wednesday, May 10, we welcome Laurene
Drouhin for a dinner featuring the exceptional Oregon wines of Domaine Drouhin and the renowned Burgundies of Maison Joseph Drouhin. Drouhin, founded over a century ago, is recognized as one of France’s leading Burgundy houses and encompasses some of the very best vineyards in Burgundy. Along with this history, it also was visionary in recognizing very early on (the 1970s) that Oregon would replicate many of the conditions that make Burgundy so special – mainly terroir and climate. At our dinner, Laurene Drouhin, daughter of winemaker Veronique Drouhin-Bass, will guide us through the rich history
on both sides of the pond. We will pair a Northwest-inspired menu by Chef Baker with these exceptional Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs.

The Club is pleased to present Chicago-based painter Joyce Polance in a solo exhibition of new work. Polance’s works grapple with the dichotomy between chaos and control and emote an electric sense
of energy, outpouring of tension and unending movement. Paint swirls, slides and cuts across her canvas works in a thick terrain of texture and color. Witness the magnetic quality of Polance’s painting practice in this exhibition of new works.
Meet Polance at the Artist Opening in the Gallery on Tuesday, April 11, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Griffin of the Month – Paul Sanders
Being a member since November 2015 has allowed me great use of the Club’s many outlets. I like athletics because I am able to connect with other members and am now part of the A.M. Fit Crew which has
increased my social interaction. I also enjoy squash, swimming and massage with Lyonel. My co-workers always ask me if we can go to lunch as we love College Hall! Dining has proven to be the best with after work food, summer cocktails in the Gallery and winter holidays loved by the family. Love is not the word for the New Year’s Open House … and now looking forward to the Black and White Ball. The Library is a frequent place I visit and often host business associates for small meetings. I’ve had two out-of-town guests stay in the overnight rooms … both reported five-star service and loved the rooms. You can’t beat the value for all that’s here.

W i n d y c i t y o P e n r e c a P French World No. 3 Gregory Gaultier picked
up the 36th title of his PSA World Tour career by defeating Marwan ElShorbagy 3-1 to win the 2017 Windy City Open presented by Guggenheim Partners & EquiTrust Life Insurance Company.
Egyptian Women’s World No. 3 Raneem El Welily added the 2017 title to her 2015 and 2016 crowns with a 3-1 win over Nour El Sherbini.
Next year, with support from the Walter Companies, the Windy City Open will offer a world record-breaking prize money purse of $500,000 – the highest ever for a World Series Professional Squash tournament. Thanks to all our sponsors, patrons, volunteers and the WCO tournament committees for making 2017 such a fabulous event.

Congrats to Savi Pai (above, left) for recognition as this year’s Windy City Open Women’s Leadership Award Honoree for her engagement this year: in squash, at JP Morgan where she works, and in the community.
In her acceptance, Pai said she grew up believing: “I am as good as boys, I can compete with boys, and I am as smart and determined and as focused as boys.” And that she liked winning. And that winning made her confident.
At the Club, Pai said she learned how to make winning choices as a group, and how diverse points of view are embraced and lead to better outcomes, qualities she also sees at J.P. Morgan Chase where she has experienced a culture of positive collaboration across the entire bank in all lines of business. And where she has learned that if you want it, you have to be a stakeholder in it.
As tennis legend Arthur Ashe said: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
And as Pai says: “Get involved, be engaged, create your community and do it collaboratively.”

i n c o n v e r s a t i o n
This month we caught up with Nina G. Stillman because she is celebrating her 40th year of membership this month (April 12, 1977 to be exact). Plus she was among the first 10 women to join the Club.
Nina is an employment and occupational health defense
attorney and spent 31 years with Vedder Price, 10 with Morgan Lewis and one with Scharf Banks before retiring in 2015. She is now chair of the board of trustees of the Merritt School of Music. And says she has never been happier. Why? Because she now has time: to work out, to lose weight, to engage in community activities.
Q: What are some of your favorite memories here at the Club?
A: Both my niece and my nephew tied the knot in the Michigan Room. And I held a Venetian masked ball 60th birthday for myself there as well.
Q: What was the deal in 1976 when you were approached by a Club subcommittee member investigating admitting women to the Club?
A: Well, I learned that the original objections boiled down to three: Some men liked swimming in the nude; some were worried that the squash courts would be overcrowded. And some wanted to preserve a men’s only dining room. Pick your battles I felt! These were mostly non issues, and I suggested the Club just admit women in full. Let the Grill be all male and close the pool to women at mid-day.
Q: And then? A: The first 10 women elected were each
proposed by the existing board, who wanted to start with a small critical mass to reassure the older members, because they knew it would be traumatic and that there would be glitches.
Q: What sort of memories do you have of the “old” days?
A: Before women were admitted as members, there was a “ladies dining room” (now the Bar) with red flocked wallpaper … women had to use the petite staircase … the first women’s locker room was a pre-fab “cage” on the 7th floor … soon Cathedral Hall got shut for renovations and dining never went back to separate rooms for men and women.
Q: And what was the Club like, once women were admitted?
A: The Club was very good and very welcoming.
Nina Stillman, 1980s.
Women became fully integrated right away at every level: sports, programming, committee and board involvement.
Q: What were the other clubs up to?
A: Standard and Union League clubs came later (Union League got a “no” for an answer twice when they asked the
membership if they wanted to admit women. The third time they asked if they wanted to violate a Chicago city ordinance banning sex discrimination at private clubs, and bingo, women were in).
What we love from this is how you can see that the University Club is trailblazing in its embrace of women, and that members like Nina stay for 40 years. We are proud that the Club’s greatness inspires this sort of loyalty. We are leading edge in the club industry due to our welcoming stance and our commitment to all members. Thank you Nina!
