Fall Festival ..................................................11
As we end one of the hottest Texas summers and move into fall, we are not seeing very much rain like we ex-perienced this spring, but are hoping for a break very soon.
The weather has been hot but the activi-ties at the Club continue to be very ex-citing and we’re moving into our busier time of the year. The fall at DAC brings lots of family activities, not to mention the great golf and tennis that all of us enjoy!
The Summer Camps have ended and we were so pleased with the great participa-tion we experienced. The number of little campers was phenomenal this year and it was exciting to actually see the increase
in these camps! We hope everyone had fun and it was great to see so many chil-dren of our new member families who attended as well as the many grandchil-dren of our members. The laughter and fun during those weeks was contagious. We’re already planning for next year.
Special congratulations also go to our Swim Team under the guidance of our Aquatics Director, Lena Guarriello and her Assistant, Luke Pope. Our Swim Team came in second in the District Championship and beat out all of our “local country club competition” in Dal-las. We are very proud of our Swim Team and their success!
This year has been a challenge on the golf course going from flooding to drought all within months. Special thanks go to Kevin Nettles, our Superintendent, and his crew for the wonderful job they con-tinue to do day in and day out. Working in the heat is certainly challenging! When
you s e e h im a n d h i s crew, thank them for all they do for us and pray for some rain! I didn’t think we would be saying that so soon!
Coming up this fall will be our Back Porch Fridays, End of Summer Pool Par-ty, the Fall Festival and many other Golf and Tennis activities. Plan to spend your time enjoying the fun and fellowship at the Club. Please share the experience with your friends and family.
See you at the Club!

It has been an unusual year from extremely wet and mild temperatures to extremely hot and dry.
The courses have remained in great condition this summer. With the arrival of cooler temperatures the staff will begin grooming and conditioning our Bent Grass Greens, which will produce much smoother and quicker ball roll.
New BridgeOur new bridge and rerouting of the cart path on #2 Blue is complete. We have received many favorable compliments on the changes. Unfortunately with the extremely wet spring we have not been able
to reshape the creek banks that were scheduled with this project. However. this remains on our priority list for the future.
The Red TeeThe Red Tee is scheduled to be moved to the right this fall in order to make it more accessible from the
new cart path. Chet Williams has done a great job for us in overseeing this project.
Bunker RenovationThe overwhelming response from the bunker renovation on the Blue course has been very exciting. Playability, consistency, and maintenance are goals that were achieved. The renovation of the bunkers on the Gold course will begin
in November and if the weather cooperates, the project is expected to be completed in April. We will close the front nine and complete that phase and will then move to the back nine. With Chet’s careful oversight we know the inconvenience will be well worth it.

DAC and The First Tee-Dallas
On Friday, July 17th, following play in the MGA Red, White, and Blue dropout scramble, the MGA and WGA honored their commitment to fund $2,000 to The First Tee - Dallas’ Scholarship Fund. “I am very pleased with this decision and feel it speaks volumes as to the impact our Golf Associations are capable of outside the grounds of the DAC,” commented Steve Mayfield, President of the MGA.
“This is a great opportunity to work with a prestigious club like the Dallas Athletic Club. Your contribution to the The First Tee is greatly appreciated,” said Reggie Newton, Program
Manager of The First Tee-Dallas. “We are grateful for the Dallas Athletic Club’s interest in supporting the mission of The First Tee.”
About The First Tee - The First Tee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization whose mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

How to Get the Most from Your MassageGalen Flemons, Massage Therapist

Massage Therapy
As a massage therapist I have a few suggestions that I believe may help my clients get more out of their massage.
Plan:Make your relaxation and recuperation a priority. Don’t let your massage be an afterthought, if it can be helped. Think about planning activities around your massage that would not draw away from your comfort. Try to give yourself
space after your massage for down time. Schedule workouts before your massage. Make time after your massage to rest and relax. Try to avoid diving immediately back into a fast pace.
Let go:Breathe and focus on releasing control of your muscles. This is a moment to reset your body’s muscle memory.
