This has definitely been the summer o f change for NBGCC. As I type this, we are set to open our newly renovated golf course. Our golf course will be the best in Eastern North Carolina
and one that all members will be proud of. I want to thank Todd Holt and his wonderful staff for all the extra hard work and effort they put forth this summer. They managed to get a tremendous amount of work done in just four months. Now that the course is open, we expect things to really pickup here at NBGCC."
The new dock is already getting a lot of use by our members. So far, I haven’t heard anything but great comments about the dock."
Looking for ward to October, we are kicking off a new event this year with Oktoberfest. We hope that all members will come out and try
this new buffet night. It is also time for the huge Kids Halloween Party. This year we expect it to be bigger and better than ever. Please check the newsletter for more information."!REMINDERS: !• Shirt tails shall be tucked in at all times while
playing golf. "!• When parking, please do not park at the end of parking lot rows as it makes it difficult for cars that are properly parked to back out of their spot."!• Smokers - please respect the appearance of Club property by disposing of cigarette and cigar butts in an ashtray."!• Walkers – please do not use the course for any non-golf purposes, such as walking, jogging, biking and the like between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm.

TENNIS REPORT, BILL JONES" Welcome to fall everyone! Now we will be planning our holiday festivities all over the Club. We here in the tennis department want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. Speaking of seasons, we are now deep into our USTA League seasons for both the ladies and men’s teams. All of our teams are doing well, fighting for a spot in the state playoffs. We will update you on their progress as we head towards the finish line through this month. "" Take advantage of the cooler temps and come out and play some tennis with your friends and family."!
Tennis News
!Directors Tip of the Month ! Get a grip to get better. What we mean by this is: You should have multiple grips to play the right shot at the right time. Whether you are playing singles or doubles you will need more than one grip to play the right shot. Your grip can change two or three times in any rally based on the opponent or score. The two basic grips are: forehand, either eastern, semi-western or full western. Your volley or slice grip: continental. These should be used constantly while you are playing. Any grip changes should be made out of league season to work with and perfect it before using it in match play. Work on your grip change so you can work on your winning percentage!

Member of the Month This member has been playing tennis for a few years. She is a true die hard tennis player, who loves the game and is tearing through the competition. She bleeds State red and loves to wear HER color as much as possible. She has an infectious smile and a “one of a kind” laugh. She is a wonderful mother and wife to a tennis playing family. We are so proud of how far she has come in such a short period of time.
Do you know her? Can you guess who it is? It is none other than Mrs. Aira Underhill. Aira is a true competitor who is joyful when she comes out to play and believe me when I tell you she is a competitor. When she won her first league match she teared up with joy…that was priceless. Thank you Aira!

Golf NewsAROUND THE COURSE WITH TODD HOLT
I hope, as of this reading, everyone is out and enjoying your updated golf course. The golf course project went extremely well, however, we did run into some cloudy, cool weather during the last few weeks which hampered growth in some of the finished areas and detail areas that come with this type of full renovation. We will continue to amend and update all areas of the golf course, but I hope you find the course to be to your favor. As we go and grow in next season, the conditioning will only get better.!!The golf course maintenance will be set up for play for the enjoyment of our members and guests on a daily basis. In doing so, we will build towards Sundays being a day that the course will play at its maximum yardage from the blue tees. We were already doing this as our maintenance protocol, but now, with the variable teeing areas, I want to get this out to our membership. We will also strive to keep our pin position fair and challenging at the same time and with 100 percent of our greens healthy, we have several more options than in the past.!!The mulch areas on the golf course serve many purposes. The mulch will limit weeds, but also hold moisture and nutrients to increase the health of our trees in these regions. It also provides a place to blow and mulch leaves that can be utilized without burning or shredding dormant turf. The playability of these areas will get better with every mulching and it is our goal to have it become finer material that does not impede a golf shot, other than to give a wayward shot a place to rest that is beneficial to the environment and can be found with ease. As far as presentation, we will be treating these areas with our brown mulch dye and again it will get better and better.!!Please enjoy your golf course.!

Mission: The New Bern Golf & Country Club Strive for 35 Golf Programs’ mission is to provide the junior golfers a chance to learn the basics of the game and a chance to improve as a player. Juniors will learn the rules of the game, proper etiquette, good sportsmanship, and having fun with other junior golfers. At the end of this program the junior golfer will be able to go out on the golf course by their self and know all aspects of the game. !Fees: For $100/month you receive: !
• Group Lessons on every Tuesday at 4:00pm or 5:00pm • Testing Day on Saturday Afternoon (1st Tee Time around 4:30) • Additional Golf Lessons at a reduced rate ($15 per lesson) • Strive for 35 Starter Kit (Bag Tag, Sleeve of Balls, Tees, Ball Marker) !
There are two semesters in the year. Fall is September-November. Spring is February-April. !How it works: All junior golf students will start at the same distance when starting this program. After they complete the stage by passing with a score of 35 or better, then they will proceed to the next stage of the program. Failure to complete the stage will require the student to try the same stage again. There are 6 stages in the program: !
• Stage One- The first stage will require the student to pass from the fringe to 30 yards. • Stage Two- The second stage will require the student to pass from 30 to 70 yards. • Stage Three- The third stage will require the student to pass from 70 to 120 yards. • Stage Four- The fourth stage will require the student to pass from 120 to 180 yards. • Stage Five- The fifth stage will require the student to pass from 180 to 230 yards. • Stage Six- The sixth and final stage will require the student to pass from the tee box
according to their age. !After the completion of Stage Three, students will be able to play without an adult. !Testing: During a month there will be 3-4 testing periods for the players to advance stages. These tests will be scheduled weekly and will give the player the on course experience to improve their game. Anyone is allowed to caddie for the student when they are taking the test. Students must walk during the completion of the hole. They can be shuttled by cart to the next hole. !
