From
the Desk of…
Michael Lawrence, General Manager & COO
I hope and trust you all enjoyed the Holiday Season with family and friends
close by…if not in your home, then certainly in your heart. Martha and I shared
the enjoyment of our youngest son, James, for most of the holiday period. The
oldest, John, was here for only a very short three days right before Christmas, and
then he had to return to work in south Florida. At any rate, we were thankful for
the time we had. Now on to launching a new year at the Club!
January and February will witness the rollout of Phase Two of the Clubhouse
Capital Improvement program that was Board approved last fall. You will see
many enhancements to the Living Room and the South Ballrooms that will continue to make you proud of your Club…like all new carpet…new furniture for
the living room area…new wall paint…new wall sconces…walnut flooring for
the East Room…new drapes in all ballrooms…new plantation shutters on all
windows on the first floor, and new art work for the walls.
As soon as “Phase Two” is launched, the House Committee and I will begin
planning for “Phase Three,” which will include renovations and upgrades for the
Clubhouse third floor…the Ladies Locker Room…and the Men’s Locker Room.
I expect that Bob Wood’s House Committee and I will be visiting several clubs in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area picking up ideas for enhancing our locker rooms…I’ll
keep you informed on our progress.
Beginning last October and November, many of our golf carts were failing to
carry a full charge at the end of the day. Many members were inconvenienced
when their cart failed during a round of golf…immediate action was needed! Golf
Operations solicited the help of E-Z-Go to determine and fix the problem, and
we can now report that the fleet is operating as it should. At no cost to the Club,
E-Z-Go replaced batteries in 42 carts and arranged a special training session for
our staff. Dow Finsterwald has implemented several changes and operational upgrades for ensuring that our fleet is performing as needed. Additionally, we have
2007-2008 BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Officers:
President, John E. Anderson
Vice President, Jeffrey A. Moten
Vice President, Scott Mahaffey
Secretary, John W. McNey
Treasurer, Joseph A. Monteleone
Board Members:
Platt L. Allen, III, Dr. Lee S. Anderson,
Alexander D. Armstrong, Bill E. Bowers, John K. Cockrell,
Melvin R. Haas, Jr., Martha V. “Marty” Leonard,
Ben L. Matheson, Bruce W. Simpson, Robert C. Wood
hired a certified E-Z-Go Cart Mechanic to maintain our fleet going forward. Our
plan is to replace the fleet after the 2008 Tournament in time for the completion
of Phase One of the Master Plan in October, 2008.
In December several staff selections were made…the Cork Room welcomed
the arrival of one new manager. Joining the Colonial team as Cork Room Assistant Manager will be Debbie Spitzer, who comes to us via the La Cima Club in
Irving, where she served as their service captain and the Fort Worth Club, where
she worked as member dining room captain for two years. Debbie is a star graduate from the Hospitality Program at UNT and she comes highly regarded by
those who have worked with her. I’m sure you will enjoy the pleasant and outgoing personality of Debbie and I am also confidant she will greatly contribute to
the continued improvements of the Cork Room. Our relatively new Director of
Human Resources, Celeste Cathy, has been instrumental in discovering new and
creative ways to find talented managers like Debbie, and I am pleased her professionalism and experience in search is paying off for us.
I have told Debbie the Colonial members are the friendliest in the nation and
this is a family-oriented club…so, be sure to give her your typically warm welcome! We are also hoping to have a new Cork Room Manager on board in the very
near future.
We are also glad to announce that we have a return hire…after an absence of
about three years, Teri Peets will be rejoining the Colonial staff as Executive Assistant to Rita Eatherly. Many of you may recall that Teri worked here for a little
more than a year and sat in for Rita when she was recovering from her medical crisis. Teri has a very outgoing personality and is perfectly qualified to support Rita
in all of the additional tasks that she is working on…including our website. Teri
will return January 7.

President’s Message
By the time this letter appears in The Columns, most of the holiday and
Christmas season will be behind us. I hope each of you had a memorable experience with family and friends. I wish to thank the entire membership for your
support in the recent Board election. I have enjoyed serving on your Board and
now consider it a great honor and privilege to serve as your president.
Your Board and Club Staff have been busy over the past several months with
many projects and programs. The following is an overview of their efforts:
1) STAFF – Many productive staffing replacements have taken place over the
last 19 months, starting with our General Manager & COO, Michael Lawrence.
Whenever a staffing opportunity presented itself, replacements were selected that
can take us to the next level of quality and productivity, whether in Tournament
operations, culinary, dining and catering, clubhouse, golf course, or human resources. These new staff members and managers, together with the great staff
members who have been part of the Colonial family for many years, will continue
making Colonial a premium service and family-oriented club.
2) TITLE SPONSOR – Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts is proving their worth
as an outstanding partner in our invitational event. They have been promoting our
event and your Club in more than 40 countries with millions of dollars in multimedia advertising, plus extensive promotions for the Tournament in their 293
properties. They are committed to making our tournament world-class for our
members, the Fort Worth community, our local charities and the PGA TOUR.
3) OIL AND GAS LEASE – This rare opportunity required that we all pull together to reach a very successful agreement. We will keep you informed with the
progress of well production once drilling begins.
4) RESIDENT MEMBER CATEGORIES – The reduction of these categories
to 700 is well under way. The Board voted to reinstate the Resident Wait List
and implement a reduction plan of “two out - one in” in order to reach the 700goal in a timely manner. With every two Resident members either resigning or
transferring to Social status, we allow one new member from the wait list to join.
As of this writing we have 702 in the Resident and Resident Company categories
and nine on the wait list.
By John E. Anderson
5) FINANCIAL CONDITIONS – The club is on track to achieve budget (close
to break-even) from operations by Fiscal Year ending July 31, 2008. At this writing, we are more than $150,000 ahead of budget and our financial future remains bright. Tournament management is budgeting a nice increase in net
income, which will go into our Capital Improvements Fund for next year.
6) MASTER PLANS (Golf Course and House) – Both of these programs were
rolled out at a special membership meeting. Your input and support were very well
received. These improvements are proceeding under the direction of the respective
committees and management. The Board and your management team is committed to keeping these projects within the scope of what was presented to you.
You may recall that the membership also approved a major updating of the
Club by-laws last spring. An updated edition of the “Book of Rules” (with inclusion of the new smoking policy and suggestions for a modern dress code) is being
prepared for Board review. You can look forward to the results of the Fitness survey in the next Columns. The Tennis Committee will be addressing the shortterm and long-term programs of this vital part of our membership. These are just
some of the highlights of the last several months and a preview of things to come.
I look forward to this new year with enthusiasm and excitement, and I encourage you to share your thoughts, suggestions and concerns with any Board
member, Michael Lawrence, or me. It is only with an open dialogue that we can
achieve our mission statement, which is…
“Colonial Country Club is dedicated to being a premier, private, family-oriented
country club. Colonial is committed to maintaining its facilities in a world-class
manner and investing in its staff, ensuring that it will be the preferred country club
with a local, regional and national reputation for excellence.”
May all of you and your loved ones have a Blessed and Happy New Year.
Colonial Country Club Welcomes Michael Tothe to Tournament Staff
We are pleased to add the talents of Michael Tothe, (pronounced Toe th), to the tournament staff as Director of Sales & Sponsor
Relations. The position’s key responsibilities will be to drive new corporate relationships and sales, maintain existing corporate relationships and sales, and augment the strengths of our volunteer sales team led by Chuck Scherer.
Michael comes to Colonial with 12 years of championship management experience from the AJGA, Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) and IMG. His ability to sell, promote and play the game at every level will serve as vital assets to our event. Michael is
currently living in San Antonio and will join the team on January 10. His wife, Holly, will join Michael in Fort Worth full-time in June
following her work commitment.

Turf Talk
By Scott Ebers, CGCS, Golf Course Superintendent
Question: What is the world record for linear feet of rope on a golf course
and why do we seem to be trying to set the record?
Answer: Rope and signs will be a constant feature at Colonial Country Club
from late fall through the spring. Why? Several reasons. Turf recovery in the
spring is a function of how severe the winter is and how strong the turf is entering the winter season. While we cannot control how bad ol’ man winter is, we
can try and limit the areas where we exceed the turf’s ability to repair itself in the
spring. This is true of every Bermudagrass golf course in North Texas, but it is
especially important at Colonial with the eyes of the world fixed on us in late
May. As I have also mentioned before, the inherent characteristics of this golf
course make it extremely challenging to maintain healthy turf through the winter.
As a traditional golf course with a relatively small footprint, (115 acres of golf
course) simple math will tell you that if you spread out the same amount
of traffic over 115 acres vs. 200 acres, the 115 acre tract will get more beat up.
Tree density and shade are also very important (I promise this will not turn
into another tree article). A wide open 115 acre tract will hold up to play much
better than a 115 acre tract with a lot of shade, as the turf’s ability to withstand
traffic is largely a function of how much photosynthetic recovery time it has (i.e.
sunlight exposure).
Non-continuous cart paths do not help either, as there is no good way to
restrict carts to paths during rainy periods, or periods where you try and let the
turf recover. It is becoming common at many high end private clubs in Dallas,
6
to go on cart paths sometime in November and stay on them entirely through
spring. To my knowledge, every club that has started the fall/winter cart path
only program has seen dramatic improvements in turf quality and has continued
the program the next year. Needless to say, none of them hosts a PGA tour event,
so they do it only for the benefits to their members. Let me emphasize this again.
Many similar North Texas golf courses restrict carts to paths four months of the
year only for the benefit of the members. It is simply not true that we rope off
our sensitive areas only because of the, “tournament”. We do not have the option
of putting carts on the paths all winter, so we do all we can with ropes and signs.
The amount of traffic itself obviously impacts turf wear and recovery potential, as well. Generally speaking, 40,000 rounds wear down a golf course much
more than 30,000 rounds and 30,000 rounds much more than 20,000 rounds.
Our 30,000 annual rounds do not unduly stress the sunny areas of the golf
course, but they do beat down the shady turf areas. Once the turf cover of these
areas has been lost, the only option is to sod them, and the cycle continues, as
sod in shady areas must be roped off even longer than mature turf to protect it
from traffic.
Ropes and signs are a poor substitute for cart paths, but it is in the end all
we have in areas like Nos. 3, 5, 9, 11, 14, and 17 where we have long cart runs
into the hole across shady areas that need protection. In short, the inherent characteristics of this golf course demand that we move traffic around with ropes
and signs as a poor substitute for continuous cart paths. The other option is to
throw up our hands and admit that easy
access to every part of the golf course
with a cart is more important
than taking care of the turf.

In Full
Swing
By Dow Finsterwald Jr., PGA
Head Golf Professional
I hope everyone enjoyed the best year of golf course conditions
in Colonial history. Coupled with a great tournament and competitive member tournaments, 2007 will be tough to replicate;
however, I have great confidence we can do it all again this year
despite the polishing of the golf course this summer.
We had great course conditions due to three variables. First
and foremost, Scott Ebers and his staff did the necessary cultural
practices to keep the course near perfect all year. (I promise, without
an understanding membership sensitive to these cultural practices it
is not possible to achieve these results.) Secondly, the membership
allowed Scott to upgrade the power to the holes which suffered the
most in 2006. And last but not least, we were fortunate to have a
summer that produced very few 100 degree days and a record
amount of rainfall. The two constants we have working for us in
2008 are Scott Ebers (and his cultural practices) and plenty of
power to the fans to keep our greens cooler and dryer.
The Crowne Plaza Invitational was a success even with the
poor weather conditions. You could not have scripted a better
finish, Jim Furyk, Bernard Langer and Rory Sabbatini in a suddendeath playoff with our member, Rory Sabbatini, taking the title on
the first playoff hole.
This year we will have most of our normal member tournaments. The exception is from June 10 until October 10 the course
will be undergoing a facelift which will leave us with less than
18 holes (stipulated round) to play. Just because we will be under
construction does not mean we won’t have any events, as we plan
to have eight (8) T.G.I.F. events starting on June 6. These fun
events will be open to any golfing member (they can bring a guest
for $50 plus the entry fee) and will feature fun formats, dinner,
cocktails, and camaraderie with your fellow members. George Wood
and John McNey have offered some neat ideas that I promise will
be fun and interesting.
January means bargains in the pro shop. Come by and check
them out as we prepare for the arrival of the new spring apparel.
Discounts will range from 30-50%.
If you have any questions regarding the 2008 tournament schedule please call the golf shop and we will let you know the tentative dates.
Hope everyone has a great 2008 and please let us be a big part
of it. Thanks for your support and I hope you are as excited as I am
to see the renovations to the best course in Texas.
Happy New Year from all of us to all of you.
Colonial’s DIAMOND Anniversary
Fast-Approaching!
The Historical Preservation Committee requests your assistance in making
Colonial’s Diamond Anniversary, celebrating 75 years in 2011, one of the most
memorable events in the club’s colorful history. Plans are underway for a beautifully bound anniversary book, party and exhibits displayed throughout the club,
putting on display artifacts, photographs and memorabilia highlighting significant events and milestones of one of the southwest’s premier private clubs.
Please check your closets, drawers, basements and attics for items from the
past – medals, trophies, engraved or embossed ceramics/pewter, artwork, scrapbooks,
souvenir programs, newspaper clippings, etc. that would be fitting testimonials to our
“First 75 Years.” Items selected by the Historical Preservation Committee would
be acknowledged by the club and returned to the contributor at a time agreed
upon by both parties. Long-time loan agreements or gifts can also be arranged.
Contact General Manager Michael Lawrence or anyone on the Historical
Preservation Committee – Ben Matheson, Fred Currie, Marty Leonard, Dick
McHargue, Mike McMahan, Dr. Wally Schmuck, Floyd Wade or Billy
Wood – if you might be in possession of any items of historical significance.

Weighty Matters
By Tamara Zrostlik, Fitness Director
Just a little inspiration to get you started. Maybe
you are going on a ski trip or hiking trip this winter and need to get in shape. Make the most of your
adventure by preparing your body for the challenge. Allow yourself at least
seven to eight weeks if you have not been working out regularly.
Weeks 1-2: Build up general cardio fitness and strength. Aim to work out
at least three times a week, spending time on a stair-climber, treadmill and
various strength training machines. Focus on building up your cardio
endurance and include a good uphill walk each weekend.
Weeks 3-4: Continue your general workout at least three days a week and
add wearing your backpack and hiking boots if you are planning on a mountain adventure. Add step ups with your equipment using various step
heights. Continue your outdoor walks on the weekends. Add wall sits to
build up your quadriceps strength.
Weeks 5-6: If you are planning a hiking trip, shift your workout focus to the
outdoors. Wearing your pack and boots, find various inclines and ground
conditions to work on your agility and footwork. Don’t forget to practice
walking downhill too. Also, test your equipment in inclement conditions.
For skiing, increase wall sit time and add balance and agility work by using
a stability ball or balance board.
Week 7 (or the week before your trip): Rest your body by doing only light
workouts at half your maximum.
stay put until the symptoms subside. If they get worse, slowly descend to
2,000 to 3,000 feet or more. Altitude sickness usually resolves itself with
rest and over-the-counter drugs. You can minimize altitude sickness by staying in shape year-round, properly hydrating yourself throughout your trip,
and allowing yourself a day to acclimate before you begin skiing or hiking.
If you hike or ski to an elevation of 6,000 to 8,000 feet or more, you put
yourself at risk for altitude sickness. The primary symptoms include
headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, and dizziness or lightheadedness. If you experience these symptoms, it’s best to take a break and
The ever popular 2 to Tango partner contest will begin again on January 15

By Matt Watson, USPTA
Director of Tennis
First, I’d like to say Happy New Year to everyone! 2007
was another great year for the tennis programs at Colonial.
Just a few of our highlights: Our Ladies Interclub team
finished in 3rd place for 2007. Our 3.5 Ladies USTA team
advanced to the Fort Worth Fall Playoffs! Colonial players
Jeff Moore, Dick Ramsey, Ed DiRe and Bruce Alford and
their Men’s Senior 4.0 team have advanced to the National
Championships and will be playing for the title in Alabama
in February. We wish them the best of luck! The Men’s
USTA 5.0 team that I participated on advanced to the National Championships in Indian Wells, CA and placed 4th.
We had terrific support in California as some of our members came out to support the team! Eddie and Darryl have
done a terrific job of leading and motivating our juniors and
we were able to put together a Junior Team Tennis Team in
the Fall to compete against other clubs.
Our Social Leagues continue to be very active and we
will have several options for 2008 for both the Adult
Programs and Junior Development Program to get everyone
more involved and have more fun! New leagues will be
starting January 8. If you are interested in playing, contact
Chris or myself in the tennis shop. We have social leagues
on Tuesday and Friday mornings. We also have the NSTA
(No Serious Tennis Allowed) League on Sunday afternoons
at 1:30 indoors. Please let us know if you are interested in
any of our league programs.
We appreciate all of your support of the tennis shop, the
staff and our programs. We constantly strive to provide first
class programs and service to our members and guests and
are always looking for new ways to make your experience
even more enjoyable. The tennis staff here at Colonial wants
your experience to be second to none! If you have any ideas
or suggestions for your programs and/or service please don’t
hesitate to let us know! We are looking forward to another
great year of tennis and fun in 2008.
Ladies’ Interclub will start at the end of February. Our
Interclub Team had a solid year in 2007 with many new
faces joining the team and we are looking to build on that!
We are offering some off-season drills and leagues to keep
everyone playing and improving! Let’s continue working
hard and pick up right where we left off! Interclub play is
on Tuesday mornings starting at 9:30. We require 24 ladies
each week. Any ladies interested in playing for
Colonial should contact me and I will add your name to the
list. We will be having our Interclub Kickoff Tuesday,
February 19 from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. This event is open
to all CLTA members.
Beginning in 2008, we will no longer offer the 45
minute ball machine rate. There will be a flat fee of $18 (up
to a 90 minute use) to use the ball machine. We also still offer the yearly
Ball Machine Membership for $180 that includes unlimited use for you and your family.
We will be hosting a couple of Adult Tennis Workshops in early 2008. These will
involve players and pros from various clubs. The schedule for these clinics is: January 26
from 1:30-5:30 P.M. and February 23 from 1:30-5:30 P.M.
Watch for information regarding the next No Racquets, No Jackets dinner. We will
most likely have this event in either late February or early March. This is always a very fun
event so please watch for information regarding this event and make plans to attend and
enjoy a delicious meal with fellow tennis players and guests.

We are going to make another strong push in 2008 to get our juniors more involved in
match-play. 2007 was a great year in terms of the kids starting to become more involved
in actual match-play in addition to their lessons. The kids have been consistent in attending their lessons twice a week but that practice needs to be applied to get the most from it.
Whether it be challenge ladders, logging practice hours for prizes from the tennis shop, Junior Team Tennis, Mid-Cities tournaments or ZAT’s, there are many options for all levels
to get involved! We encourage you, the parents, to help us encourage the kids to get involved in these events so they may enjoy the full experience of our sport!
We will be having a HOLIDAY TENNIS CAMP for our Cardinals/Hawks kids on
Thursday and Friday, January 3-4 from 12:00-3:00 p.m. If you would like to register your
child(ren) please call the tennis shop.

For Immediate Release: December 11, 2007
Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Tops
Off Charitable Year With Giving Holiday Spirit
Fort Worth, Texas - December 11, 2007 - Colonial Country
Club capped off its record $4.2 million year in fundraising today
by distributing to 75 local charities $230,000 in donations at the
annual Colonial Country Club Charities holiday breakfast.
The tournament's record-breaking year of fundraising is
helping a lot of local charities, and it earned the tournament
national recognition by the PGA TOUR. At recent PGA TOUR
annual meetings, the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial was
named the most improved charitable contributor for the 2007
season, a first-time honor for the tournament. The $4.2 million
in total charitable contributions generated from the May tournament, is a 64% increase over 2006. With the increase, the
Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial was the fifth largest charitable contributor on the PGA TOUR in 2007. Colonial is joined
in the top five by two other Texas events, the EDS Byron
Nelson Classic and the Valero Texas Open. By including the
Shell Houston Open, the Texas events collectively represent
25% of the PGA TOUR’s total charitable giving this year.
According to tournament officials, the Birdies for Charity
component of the tournament's fundraising efforts brought in
$1.97 million, which also set a record. In this year's Birdies For
Charity program, 22 local non-profit organizations solicited
pledges from individuals and corporations for every birdie
made during the 2007 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
(1,255 were made). As a bonus, the pledge efforts were energized by a matching fund of $180,000 from Crowne Plaza Hotels
& Resorts, Bank of America and Colonial Country Club.
“We are very proud to give back to the Fort Worth community
through so many terrific organizations,” said Colonial President
John Anderson. “It is wonderful to be able to play such a big role
each year in helping those in need.”
The tournament has generated cash and services for more
than 120 different organizations in the last decade totaling over
$20 million, including more than $500,000 generated each year
for its primary beneficiary, Cook Children’s Medical Center.
The donations focus on children and support a variety of pro-
grams, including camp scholarships for disabled, special
needs or low-income children, residency programs/services
for abused, neglected and at-risk children, cultural
programs/field trips for underserved students, college scholarships, educational mentoring programs, medical diagnostic
and treatment services for disabled and low-income children,
after-school programs, support services for homeless families
and more. The tournament surpassed the million dollar mark in
annual giving in 1998, and has exceeded that level every year
since. The annual average since 1998 is more than $2 million.
“These charities do wonderful work that creates brighter futures
for so many of our area children,” noted Joe Monteleone,
Chairman of the Colonial Country Club Charities Committee.
“We are excited to be significantly impacting young lives throughout
the community.”
