If you’re working on getting leaner, don’t cut out good, healthy fats
like omega-3 fatty acids. Lack of these nutrients can negatively
impact the speed (and how) you age. To keep feeling and looking
younger, incorporate more oily fish, walnuts, and flax seeds into your
diet, which also help the skin stay supple and wrinkle-free. Omega-3s
also help boost brain health and keep the heart in good shape

July was another exciting and successful month for
Edgewood. With member participation at many of
the month’s events exceeding previous year’s
attendance. Our Thursday night “Music on the
Terrace” weekly event is one of the newer
offerings and is starting to gain popularity! If you
haven’t yet joined us for “live” music and drink
specials on Thursday nights, please make plans to
do so in the coming month; it won’t be long before
it’s to cold to sit outside and enjoy live
entertainment while taking in our “Wonderful
West Virginia”. Thank you to each of you for
continuing to choose your Country Club for your
sporting, dining and entertainment needs. As we
move into August and as you look through this
publication, you will find many reasons to join us
several times during the coming month … now all
you have to do is show up and enjoy!
As discussed in previous articles, we installed a
new computer system at the club a few months
back. I’m pleased to inform you that this “tool” is
starting to make a positive impact on how we
operate as a company. One of the new, additional
services with this system is the availability for all
Edgewood Country Club Members to make golf
tee times online with a desktop/laptop computer or
from your smart phone. To start using this system
all one has to do is go to your Club’s website
(www.edgewoodcc.com) and follow the following
three steps:
1.) Log In ~ On the main website page, on the
left side of the screen, click the word “Login”.
For those of you who do not know your
“Username” or who are logging in for the first time,
your member number is your user name … your
Password is the first initial of your first name
followed by your entire last name, spelled out, NO
SPACES, ALL LOWER CASE (lower case).
2.) Click on the word “Golf” ~ On the left side of
the screen and a drop-down window will appear
3.) Click on “Book A Tee Time” ~ Fr om her e the
screen that pops up is very simple and easy to use …
just find the date you want a tee time for, then click
on the available times and add your name and the
name(s) of those joining you … it’s that simple!
For those of you who need some assistance with
your username and password, please feel free to call
Martha, Maggi, Brandie or myself and we will
gladly help you through the process.
Please note that once you are logged into the club’s
website please click on the “My Profile” button and
take a few minutes to update the information we
have on file for you such as a new/correct e-mail
and home addresses, phone numbers, your birthday
and please feel free to add a picture of you or of you
and your family.
I look forward to seeing and serving you in the
coming month at your Edgewood Country Club.

The summer and its heat are upon us. Everyone searches the house for
that big blast of chilly refreshment. Don’t fret. I’ve got just the thing
that’ll cool the young as well as the old. It doubles as a starter course
or dessert alike. If you’re heading to a family reunion, neighborhood
block party, or picnic this gets everyone’s attention. It’s fairly quick to
prepare and tastes best when made the day before. Not to mention, it
was passed down to me by a great man, and mentor. Without delay I
introduce “Watermelon Gazpacho”. The following recipe is sufficient
for a party of 30-40 (approximately 1 ½ gallons) or can be left in the
refrigerator for up to five days.
In a blender, combine ½ the diced Watermelon,
Orange Juice, Olive Oil, chopped Cucumbers &
Peppers. Place in a large bowl & add remaining
ingredients, mix until incorporated, adjust
seasonings. Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours
prior to serving

accept responsibility because only you can prepare to compete by practicing skills, checking your equipment and during
match play by making line calls
manage adversity by learning to adjust to the elements (e.g. wind, sun) and still be able to compete tenaciously.

capacity for dealing with stress
learn how to recover by adapting to the stress of a point and the recovery period between points which is similar to the
stress and recovery cycles in life

can transfer to taking exams, conducting a meeting or making an important sales presentation

Beat the heat….
Playing in the heat means doing the
best you can to conserve your
energy. Here are five ways that will
help you battle the summer elements.
1.) Stay hydrated. This is NOT as simple as it
sounds. Drinking plenty of fluids during your round
will not be enough. You need to actually begin at
least one day prior to your round. Possibly even
earlier if you're flying to your golf destination.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

2.) Wear loose, light-colored clothing made of
moisture wicking material. Adidas Clima Chill
apparel works great for shirts and pants, and other
brands have their own fabrics that will help keep
you cool. The goal here is to keep the clothes
breathable and not have it stick to you when you
start to sweat. You'll feel more comfortable, stay
cooler and play better.
Ladies Club Championship
Tuesday, August 30th and Wednesday, August 31st (Rain Date
Thursday, September 1st)
3.) Use sunblock. Much of the newer golf apparel
has sunblock technology built in. In fact, I've even
advised players, that have the right type of materials
in their shirt, to wear long sleeves on hot days
simply for the sun-blocking properties of the clothes.
On your skin that is exposed, use some type of
sunscreen. SPF 50 is not too much.
Tee Times and Groupings
Saturday, August 20th(1st round)
Make your own groups and own pairings
If you do not have a group, we will be assigning two tee times in
the morning (9:40am and 9:50am) and two tee times in the
afternoon (1:30pm and 1:40pm).
4.) Wear a hat. Regular style caps are great; but
they're not perfect. The bucket hat with the brim that
goes all the way around may be more effective. But
a loose, light hat will do wonders in keeping the sun
off of you. It's not just about avoiding sunburn, it's
maintaining your energy level.
5.) Eat light, but eat nonetheless. Again, if we want
to maintain your concentration and energy levels,
starving yourself is not going to help. The last thing
you want is to feel heavy and lethargic due to a big
meal before needing to walk around for five or six
hours in the hot sun.
Just keep thinking its not raining and fall is just
around the corner.

Well this summer has provided us some interesting and challenging weather conditions and the golf course is holding
up very well despite the challenges Mother Nature has thrown our way! I would like all of our members for the
understanding and support you have provided as we navigate through this summer.
Hot temperatures and thunder storms look to be the norm for the foreseeable future. So what does that mean for the
golf course? In order to provide the best possible playing conditions year round we need to take precautionary steps
not to preserve overall turf health. When faced with our current patterns of above 90 for a week or more and heavy
rains likely almost every day we may need to raise mowing heights and reduce mowing frequency in order to give
the turf a break. By taking steps to preserve turf health now we are ensuring that we will be able to return to optimal
playing conditions as soon as the weather breaks rather than pushing through the heat and having to repair lots of lost
turf in the fall.
The maintenance staff will be doing everything within our abilities to keep conditions at the high level expected by
the members and myself. The important thing to keep in mind as we move through the next month is that sometimes
the best thing to do is nothing at all. That means during times of extreme turf stress we may need to skip a mowing
more often than normal or stay off various areas until conditions improve. The same thing is true with your lawn at
home, raise the mowing heights and try to mow in the evening. Save that grass!
Thanks,
Troy Anderson
ECC Superintendent
