June 2020 Newsletter President's Message They say that this is the new normal and I can’t say that I like it but it seems like things have started to improve over the way that they were. People are able to get out and about a little easier and we are now starting to plan for upcoming golf tournaments! The course is in the best condition that it has ever been and kudos go out to our maintenance staff and Superintendent. The weekends are very busy and the new tee time format seems to be working out just fine, I have heard nothing but compliments from all of our members. I just want to remind everyone that we still have to follow the social distancing rules both on and off the course. Even though we are now in Phase 2 and will soon be in Phase 3, we can’t let our guard down or we could suffer setbacks in the spread of the virus. As always, if you want to reach me to discuss anything, please send me an email at roger.laime@aecom or call me on my cell phone at 518-772-7754. Please be considerate of others, be safe and think warm weather. Roger Laime Treasurer’s Report June 15th, 2020 I want all of our members to be aware, especially our newer members that you will see a bunker renovation fee on your July invoice. This is our final year of our 5 year bunker renovation project as Steve and his staff have recently completed #13. The fee will be 3% of dues for your membership category. This will raise approximately $20K and will cover all of the expenses for the work on #13 and #14 which was completed in the fall. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Steve and his staff as they have completed all of this work on time and within the budgets that we set 5 years ago. We have collected to date, $543,000 in membership dues. We expect to collect an additional $126,000 from those who are paying monthly for a total of $665,000. This far exceeds our budget of $600,000. At our last Board meeting on May 18th, the BoD decided to accept only 5 additional memberships, singles and couples only (no students, young adults or JE memberships). We quickly filled those remaining memberships and are no longer accepting new members. We have created a waiting list and there are currently 8 people on the list as I write this news letter. We continue to lose revenue in greens fee and carts as compared to 2019. Here are some data points through the end of May. YTD carts is $12,790 behind last year ($39,318 in 2019 vs $26,528 in 2020). YTD green fees are $28,986 behind last year ($75,380 in 2019 vs $46,394 in 2020). May carts was nearly identical to last year ($17,894 in 2019 vs $17,620 in 2020). May green fees were $15,910 behind last year ($38,153 in 2019 vs. $22,243 in 2020). We have completed our 8 weeks to spend our Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan this past week. We certainly met all of the requirements for the loan to be forgiven. Over the next month or so, I will be providing BSNB all of the necessary documents so we can then request that the loan be forgiven. This year we have our iPad working for use on the beverage cart. This will allow for a more accurate accounting of member charges on the cart. They will bring up your account and you will be asked to sign for your purchase. This should eliminate any of the account errors that had occurred in the past when they wrote down you number on a piece of paper and entered them later into the system. As always, please be sure when signing, it is your account. A friendly reminder we will be checking who is late in making their payments starting July 1 (those who have a balance from May ) and those individuals will be put on the no play list. If we keep on top of this, we won’t have to expend hours upon hours tracking members down once the season is over. Bri will be reaching out to those who are late via email and / or phone calls to make those members aware of the situation. I ask for your cooperation and understanding. With the renovation of the mens locker room complete, there seems like there is more interest in using a locker this year. Once we open the clubhouse to members, you will be able to select a locker and get a lock from Bri. She will document what lock you have, give you the combination and give you a locker tag to put on your locker. We have determined that the fee for a locker for the 2020 golf season will be $50. When getting a locker, Bri will simply add that fee to your account. That you very much for your cooperation. As always, if you have questions on anything that I have mentioned or you have been wondering about, please email me ([email protected]) or talk to me when you see me at the course. I would be happy to provide you any info you need. Sincerely, Rick Funaro, Treasurer Fox Membership 6/2020 We are into summer golf and the weather is cooperating with the calendar. Thank you to all the members for your patience during this season. It has been quite the experience. The membership count below has been adjusted to show only golfing members, so the social membership category has been removed. Therefore, as you can see the number of golfing members has hit 370. Since golf is one of the few games in town, we have been extremely busy. The BOD has approved a temporary cap on new memberships and currently we have a waiting list. Just to give you some perspective, I thought it would be interesting to review the membership numbers over the past several years. We’ve come a long way. Our goal is to continue to grow new membership at a reasonable rate, while retaining our current membership. If you are interested in joining our committee as we look towards the future, please let me know. As we make our way into June, the course has really shaped up nicely. The turf is nice and tight throughout the golf course. The past few weeks we have been irrigating a lot. Dry and warm conditions put a lot of stress on the plant and it needs water to survive. There is a lot of acres to water out there when you add up all greens, tees, approaches, and fairways. We can use up over 100,000 gallons of water a day. Our pond is fed from the creek and as long as the creek continues to flow, we will have enough water. There is no irrigation in the rough so a lot of that will burn up. When we get some rain and cooler weather it will grow back. We finished the #13 green surround last week. This was a large project to do in house. I want to thank my crew. We completed everything ourselves and I think it turned out pretty nice. We started to mow all the new sod. Sometimes when you first start to mow you scalp some grass. Over time things smooth up and everything will green back up. Thank you to the membership for there patience during this 5- year project. It has been a lot of work but I think we made a huge step in improving the golf course. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped. Couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to our crew. It is a full-time job just keeping up with the golf course let alone adding on big projects. Now that #13 green surround is completed, we are in our summer time maintenance mode now. Mowing, watering, spraying, and setting up the golf course takes up all of our time. The golf course has been getting a large amount of play so far this season. It is great to see so many people out enjoying the golf course. Over time the course will show some signs of stress. Please keep up with ball marks on the greens. My crew and I will try to keep the bunkers raked as much as we can and do the divots on the tees. Little by little we are getting back to normal. We still have restrictions on golf carts and safe distancing and the restaurant is slowly opening up. The golf course has been very busy, some days we have up to 190 people playing. We have put a hold on taking more members and have a waiting list. I haven’t seen a waiting list since I joined sometime in the 1980’s. I also had to pay an initiation fee at that time. Todd is doing some new things with the tee times on weekends to get all the people that want to play out by putting people on both the front and back for all tee times and lengthen the time between tee times. We are allowing some outside play and guest play during the week now but members come first. Todd is also working on how to organize our in house tournaments so we can have the maximum number of members play that want to play.

  • 2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider
    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

  • League Spotlight Chicago Women's Golf Club Calendar
    JACKSON PARK GOLF ASSOCIATION Providing a Voice, Protecting the Interest, and Preserving the Legacy of Golf Leagues, Clubs and Junior Golfers www.jpgachicago.com | [email protected] | 773-358-1315 Issue 2: Vol 1, Pg 1 April 2020 CALENDAR 2020 LEAGUE SPOTLIGHT Most Illinois golf courses will open May 1st by edict of the Governor. Read the new golf CHICAGO WOMEN’S guidelines on page 2 and Mayor Lightfoot’s GOLF CLUB lakefront ordinance on page 3. At the close of another golf season on November 16, 1937 three women, Cleo Ball, Vivian Pitts, and Anna Mae Black, were saddened because they could not continue playing golf through the winter. They had just finished playing at Palos Hills Golf Course, so these strong visionary women decided to organize a women's golf club. At the first meeting, Anna Mae Black was elected President. After receiving suggestions from the members for a name for the club, Anna Mae Black's submission was selected, THE CHICAGO WOMEN'S GOLF CLUB (CWGC). Hence, the second oldest African American Golf Club in the country was born with the motto, “Ours For Better Golf” and colors royal blue and gold. Additionally,the womendecided monthly dues would be $ .25. Under the leadership of Anna Mae Black, Chicago Women's Golf Club took wings. The ladies attributed their success to Mrs. Nettie George Speedy, the first black woman to play golf in Chicago and her husband, Walter Speedy. Together, they are known as the “Mother and Father of African American golf in Chicago.” He and three other golfers sued the Chicago Park District to play in the City Amateur Tournament at Jackson Park Golf Course in the early 20th century.

Wheeler, Howard “Butch.” (8 April 1911, Atlanta, Georgia–25 April 1968, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Having completed just elementary school, Wheeler entered the world of golf as a caddie in Atlanta. He carried clubs for Robert Tyre “Bobby” Jones at Brookhaven Country Club and eventually rose to caddie master at the East Lake Golf Club before joining the black professional circuit as a touring professional. Wheeler possessed a tall, lean frame and skillfully used it to become one of the longest hitters of the golf ball ever. He claimed his first tournament victory in the 1931 Atlanta Open. Two years later, Wheeler won his first United Golf Association national championship. Throughout his long career, Wheeler added five more UGA national titles; he won for the second time in 1938, then captured three in a row from 1946-1948, and finally won again in 1958. In the midst of those national title victories, Wheeler also collected his share of minor events, such as the 1951 Joe Louis Invitational.
