Club History Rosemont Country Club came into being, in the Montrose subdivision of Copley Township, in 1920 as an association called the Montrose Club. A clubhouse was promptly constructed, and in 1925 a nine-hole golf course was opened. On November 28, 1930, the original clubhouse caught fire and was rendered useless. So that the membership could be served on an interim basis until a new clubhouse could be constructed, the golf professional’s house was used as a temporary clubhouse until 1941. Shortly after the house was pressed into service, a concrete pad was poured behind it to act as an outdoor dance floor, and a tent was temporarily erected for each event to ensure that party- goers were protected from inclement weather. In 1936, the Club was incorporated on a not- for- profit basis and granted a charter by the State of Ohio. On January 21, 1941, the Montrose Board of Directors established an operating entity called Rosemont Country Club and leased to it all of the grounds, facilities, and equipment. Shortly thereafter, Rosemont Country Club was recast as an association. After an interim period that stretched out into 11 long years, a new clubhouse was erected in 1941 and it, together with several additions, continued to serve us until November 1991. During the mid 1940s, the first of two tennis courts were constructed. The next major improvement to club facilities took place in 1958, when the swimming pool was installed. At the same time, a second nine-hole golf course was added to serve the growing membership. Several years later, golf course architect Edward Packard was hired to blend the two nines, and after the course opened on July 4, 1961, it remained virtually unchanged until November 1991. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, interest in tennis grew considerably and, eventually, usage of the first two tennis courts outgrew their capacity. Two more courts were added in April 1973. Nine years later, in 1982, a tennis deck was built to better serve the gathering, staging, and observation needs of the tennis players. In 1989, the house used by the Grounds Superintendent was torn down. Interest in building a new clubhouse drove the club to sell the valuable property fronting on Route 18 in November of 1991. The property sold included the clubhouse, tennis courts, golf driving range and practice green, pro shop and club/cart storage building, pool and halfway house, golf pro’s

house, maintenance barns, and the first, eighteenth, tenth and ninth holes, along with the tees from the eleventh hole of the pre- 1992 golf course. The property was replaced in a like kind exchange for similar but much improved facilities on property across from the old eighth hole on the west side of Cleveland- Massillon Road. A tunnel was built under Cleveland- Massillon Road to connect the new facilities with the remainder of the golf course. The golf course architecture firm Hurdzan Golf Course Design, Inc. was retained to design the new holes that became the current first, second, seventeenth, and eighteenth holes. The old eleventh hole was abandoned and replaced with the current fourth hole. The remaining holes from the old course were renumbered as necessary.

RULES GOVERNING THE POOL NOTES: The pool can be one of the most pleasant, and enjoyable areas of the Club. It is a place where children are always welcome, and families can have fun together. At the same time, it is a dangerous area. It is the only place in the Club where it is necessary to hire employees expressly to protect the lives and safety of our members, guests, and children. These lifeguards have an extraordinary responsibility. We must help them with their duties as much as possible. In addition, the pool itself is a very complicated piece of machinery, and the chemical balance of the water in the pool must be carefully monitored and adjusted to meet health standards of the State and County. Management recognizes all of the above and has published these rules to make sure that the pool is the pleasant, enjoyable, safe area we all want it to be. Members are responsible for the actions of their children, and their guests. Management will take disciplinary action against members who do not obey the rules. This action may involve suspension of pool privileges for a period of time, and/or a fine at management’s discretion. CONDUCT:

1. No pushing, running, towel snapping, or rough play is allowed. 2. Golf shoes with spikes are not allowed in the pool area. 3. Members must register guests upon entering the pool area.

GENERAL RULES:

1. Failure to obey the lifeguard’s instructions while in the pool will result in immediate expulsion from the pool area, and a suspension of the member’s pool use privileges by management.

2. Pool area towels are to be kept in the pool area. Do not take towels from the pool to the locker rooms and vice versa.

3. It is important from both esthetics and safety view points to keep the pool area clean. Containers are provided for the disposal of wastes. Members and guests must deposit their trash in the containers.

4. Chairs and lounges may not be reserved in advance. If all the pool furniture is in use, children under the age of seventeen (17) must relinquish the use of furniture to adult members. Parents must help the lifeguards and other members enforce this rule.

5. The use of artificial flotation devices and swimming aids such as life preservers, rafts, face masks, flippers, snorkels, etc., will be at the discretion of the lifeguard on duty. Use of these devices in a crowded pool or by marginal swimmers can lead to dangerous situations. Parents must help the lifeguards and other members enforce this rule.

GUEST PRIVILEGES:

1. Local guests will be permitted the use of the pool a maximum of six (6) times per year, exclusive of private parties and Club sponsored events.

2. Out of town guests are permitted to use the pool at any time, when accompanied by a member and when properly registered.

3. Unmarried children of members, age sixteen (16) or older, may introduce a guest of the opposite sex.

4. The same rules of conduct and safety apply to all guest and their children, as apply to members.

LIFEGUARD RESPONSIBILITES: 1. The first responsibility of the lifeguards is to protect the lives and safety of the

swimmers and other users of the pool area. 2. The lifeguards have the authority to expel any member or guest from the pool area if

they determine that the conduct of the person or persons in question are endangering the safety of others in the pool area, and that person or persons do not stop the dangerous activity after being asked to stop.

3. The lifeguards have the responsibility to ensure that the pool area is clean and that the pool meets all health standards set by the State of Ohio.

4. Lifeguards are not errand runners or babysitters. They are in the pool area to protect the lives and safety of the pool area users. Do not ask them to run errands, baby-sit children, or perform personal services. Do not interfere with the lifeguards in the execution of their duties.

SANITATION:

1. All food must be consumed in the designated area adjacent to the snack bar. All refuse must be disposed of properly.

2. Beverages in cans, paper or plastic containers, may be taken anywhere in the pool area, as long as proper care is taken and the empty containers are disposed of properly.

3. Children and infants in diapers are welcome in the pool area. Cloth diapers are allowed in the baby pool if they are covered with plastic pants. Disposable diapers are not allowed in the baby pool. Children who still wear diapers are not allowed in the big pool. This is a sanitary consideration. It is virtually impossible to meet State and County health regulations if an “accident” should occur. This could cause the pool to be closed for a week.

SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN:

1. It is the responsibility of parents to supervise children under the age of twelve (12) in the pool area. Children under the age of twelve (12) cannot be left unattended at the pool. Either a parent or other member must take responsibility for children in the pool area. The lifeguards are not babysitters and will not be responsible for the behavior of children.

2. All children twelve (12) and under must demonstrate to the lifeguard’s satisfaction that they can swim one (1) length of the pool unassisted to be allowed in the deep end. This rule will be strictly enforced.

3. Lifeguards may on occasion offer swimming lessons on a group or individual basis. Parents are encouraged to contact the lifeguards for more information on the availability of swimming lessons for children. Lifeguards will not act as babysitters during swimming lessons. A parent, other member, or older teenage sibling must be present.
