April | May | June 2019 General Manager’s Address State of the club – from the GM’s office! First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your continued membership, participation and good will that you provide at the clubs. It truly is a pleasure to have such a great membership! It has been a great start to the 2019 season and the year is flying by already. With great HLMGA and HLLG events to date such as Member-Member at Legacy and Ladies Member Guest, playing both Heathrow and Legacy it has been an exciting start to the tournament season. The spring time is such a fantastic time at the clubs with Club Championship (Heathrow Men’s and Women’s), the dual course combined Men’s Member Guest, Easter Brunch and Easter Egg Hunt, Spring Fling in late April and gearing up for summer time at the pool (Go Stingrays!). So, we are very busy and enthusiastic heading through the first quarter of the year and building momentum for the remainder. There are many great initiatives we have been working on to kick off 2019 and assess any way we can improve the club for the membership. A big part of that has been a focus on fitness, wellness and needed upgrades to our Racquet Club. We have installed a new classroom area, dou- bled our fitness classes and have made facility changes to accommodate many more pieces of new equipment that will be delivered in April, including spin bikes to execute spin classes, for example. Our fitness launch party was fantastic in January with 250 members attending. We will host additional wellness classes for nutrition, fitness and health as the year continues. Dining nights have also been a big focus and especially in adding themed nights at Legacy on Tuesday and Wednesday weekly. Taco Tuesdays with the Mariachi band have been a huge hit. Smokehouse Night has been consistently well received and the addition of a Surf n Turf night on the last Wednesday of the month has been great. Brunch on Sunday has been fantastic as the 1st quarter of the year has progressed. Heathrow Trivia Night remains strong and the Grand Buffet on the last Friday of the month continues to be a Heathrow staple. We look forward to a spring menu change for al a carte, keeping our traditional items of Par 3 and Country Club Salad, burgers and wraps while adding in seasonal flare as designed by our excellent Chef team. We maintain a healthy calendar which you can find at www.heathrowcc.com. Login into your member account and go to Calendar on the top right to view all events. From a project perspective it has continued to be a very busy period to start 2019. We have finalized exterior patio and pergola projects at Heathrow CC and The Legacy Club that have added significant F&B space for our members and guests and created a Memorial Garden at Heathrow. We are installing new flooring through the Racquet Club and have resurfaced the pool deck to get ready for a busy swim season. We have procured our company food truck and mobile bars for our busy summer season of pool beer, wine, liquor and summer handheld food menus. We are motivated to continue to improve our facilities for our membership and we will be looking at additional projects based on feedback at the club to provide additional improvements as the year continues. Membership remains very strong at our clubs. With great retention and a fantastic group of members calling our clubs home we are very blessed. Additional demand continues to showcase our excellent golf courses, conditions and product as a whole. As always, we appreciate all the support of such a great membership and we look forward to seeing you at the clubs! Sincerely, Ryan Fahler PGA, General Manager FROM THE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR Dear Heathrow | Legacy Members, Summer is around the corner!

A TENNIS TIP FROM THE DIRECTOR OF TENNIS A great shot to foil a net-hugger is the topspin lob. Topspin lobs, when hit correctly, are extremely hard to run down due to forward spin when it hits the court. The back swing is basically the same back swing for a regular topspin forehand which gives it a disguise factor as well. A topspin lob is best hit with a western or semi-western grip. First you must start with the racket face slightly closed. To close the face, point your palm toward the court. You want to swing straight up the back of the ball and fan the wrist like a windshield wiper. The key is going to be racket speed when hitting the topspin lob. Don’t be afraid to swing fast! Try to hit just the back quarter of the ball with the sense that you are pealing the ball straight up from below the ball, or a whipping motion of the back of the ball. Aim up like you are hitting the ball up through a goal post. Once again, it’s going to take practice and repetition! There are several videos available on YouTube that can give you more of a visual on the topspin lob. See you on the court, Adidas clothing and shoes coming soon to the Tennis Pro Shop!!
