BETTER BILLY BUNKER The Sustainable Bunker Method Why Bunkers Fail Washouts ▪ Sand’s pore capacity becomes full causing the sand to slide down the bunker’s face ▪ Results in contamination of sand and having to shovel sand back onto faces after rain events How It Works ▪ 2” gravel layer allows drainage throughout the entire bunker ▪ Drainage on the bunker face prevents washouts ▪ Sand stays in place resulting in no contamination and playable bunkers after rain events ▪ Prevents rock migration Durability ▪ Safe for use with mechanical bunker rakes ▪ Flexibility is key to longevity ▪ 10 Year Warranty Fastest Draining ▪ Drains at over 1800” per hour ▪ No chance for standing water ▪ Eliminates mid slope washouts Ease of Installation ▪ No heavy equipment needed for installation Regular Turf Equipment ▪ Easy Two Step process ▪ No covering ▪ No waiting ▪ Ready for sand the next day! Ways to Construct ▪ Full floor – clay, silt or loam soils Ways to Construct ▪ Recessed Drain lines – Fine sands on clay, silt or loam soils Deeper sand depth over drain lines lowers perched water table Ways to Construct ▪ Open Bottom – Fine sands on a sandy soil base ▪ Bottom left open or covered in fabric ▪ All gravel bonded with polymer ▪ Perched water table lowered by eliminating gravel under sand ▪ BBB ends in termination strip or over drain tile End Results ▪ Tremendous maintenance savings End Results ▪ Playable bunkers after rain events A Few Courses Using BBB: ▪ Aronimink Golf Club: 2018 BMW Championship / 2027 PGA Championship ▪ Baltusrol Golf Club: US Opens (7) / PGA Championships (2) ▪ Bethpage State Park (Black): 2002/2009 US Open / 2019 PGA Championship ▪ Congressional Country Club: US Open (3) / PGA Championship (1) ▪ Crooked Stick Golf Club: 1991 PGA 2012 / 2016 BMW Championship ▪ Gleneagles PGA Centenary Course: 2014 Ryder Cup ▪ Hazeltine National: 2016 / 2028 Ryder Cup ▪ Merion Golf Club (East): 1934 / 1950 / 1971 / 1981 / 2013 US Open ▪ Oakland Hills CC: US Open (6) / PGA Championship (2) / Ryder Cup (1) ▪ Poppy Hills Golf Course: Multiple PGA Tour events ▪ Robert Trent Jones Golf Club: Multiple President’s Cup ▪ Shoal Creek Golf & Country Club: 2018 US Women’s Open ▪ Southern Hills Country Club: Multiple US Opens / PGA Championships ▪ TPC Harding Park: 2015 Cadillac Match Play, 2020 PGA Championship ▪ TPC San Antonio: PGA Tour Valero Texas Open ▪ TPC Scottsdale: PGA Tour Waste Management Open ▪ Trump National Bedminster: 2017 US Women’s Open, 2022 PGA Championship ▪ Valhalla Golf Club: 1996/ 2000/ 2014 PGA Championship, 2008 Ryder Cup ▪ Winged Foot Golf Club: 1929/ 1959/ 1974/ 1984/ 2006 2020 US Open ▪ Whistling Straits: 2004 / 2010 / 2015 PGA Championship, 2020 Ryder Cup Over 1,000 Courses Worldwide .

Tillinghast between 1918 and 1922. Baltusrol’s golfing grounds have been an evolving landscape. The courses have advanced to stay current with technological and player skill improvements in the game.

Providing Opportunities for Children to Be Healthy, Families to Thrive and Communities to Be Strong, Since 1977
Providing opportunities for children to be healthy, families to thrive and communities to be strong, since 1977. BOARD OF DIRECTORS LEADERSHIP TEAM Debbie Chang, President Monica Walters, Chief Executive Officer Neill Tseng, Vice President Alyson Lee-Suzuki, Chief Programs Director Mark Tao, Treasurer John Uselman, Chief Financial Officer David Ziegler, Secretary Mike Neumann, Chief Operations Officer Patti Lew Cindy Madsen, Director of Human Resources Henry Loh Denise McCarthy Hui Ling Shi OUR MISSION Cindy Tran Providing opportunities for children to be healthy, Irene Wong families to thrive, and communities to be strong. Helping San Francisco succeed San Francisco is a city of tremendous economic disparity. While home to some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, it is also home to some of the most economically challenged. The majority of low income families live in select areas of San Francisco, largely driven by the high cost of living. The demand for child care is high particularly in these neighborhoods, as many of these families are working immigrants striving for self-sufficiency. In the areas that we serve, it is estimated that up to 51% of the families eligible for subsidized child care are living below the poverty level. In early 2014, Wu Yee Children’s Services was awarded a new Head Start and Early Head Start grant allowing us to expand our area of service in San Francisco and enroll an additional 210 Early Head Start and 275 Head Start children (bringing our total to 595) in our Home Based, Family Child Care and Center Based programs. With that, we brought six additional Child Development Centers into the Wu Yee family.

WHISTLING STRAITS® FACTS “I should say this with some degree of modesty. But in my lifetime, I’ve never seen anything like this. Anyplace. Period.” Pete Dye, World Golf Hall of Fame Designer Blackwolf Run® and Whistling Straits A throwback to the raw freshness of Ireland sculpted into the Wisconsin coastline, Whistling Straits is part of Destination Kohler in Kohler, Wisconsin. Located off the shore of Lake Michigan, Whistling Straits is comprised of two, 18-hole championship golf courses that continue to challenge the best professional and amateur golfers around the world. Arguably the best golf experience in America, these Pete Dye-designed courses continue to be ranked at the top of the list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” by Golf Digest. CHAMPIONSHIPS – PAST & FUTURE EVENTS 2020 Ryder Cup will be hosted on The Straits® at Whistling Straits. 2015 PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits. This was the third time the PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits and the championship didn’t disappoint. On Sunday afternoon two of the world’s best, Jason Day and Jordan Spieth, battled for the Wannamaker Trophy. Day fired an impressive final round 67 to beat Spieth by 3 shots and capture the 2015 PGA Championship title, his first major championship. The 2010 PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits. This was the second time the PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits, and for the second time on this riveting and unforgiving course, the winner had to be determined by a playoff. With the sun setting quickly and a nerve-wracking three-hole playoff between Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson, it was Kaymer who pulled through for the win.
