Bright’s Creek December 2022 Newsletter

General Manager’s Scorecard

Our Tom Fazio designed course continues to receive outstanding reviews for design and conditions. Earlier in the year we had a USGA agronomist come out and provide recommendations on how to invest in and enhance the course. By changing some of our agronomy practices, the greens came out of the hot summer season in great shape. Our pre-emergent treatments this fall should hopefully yield better control over early spring weed growth. We continue to limb trees and clear brush to open up air and sun to key areas of the course as well as add to the natural beauty of the golf experience. We purchased additional pieces of course maintenance equipment to improve the effectiveness of our operation.

Our membership continues to grow, and we have added over 20 new Members to the club this year. We currently have multiple homes under construction and a cottage program about to go under construction. Our preferred builder program makes selecting a lot and building a new home an enjoyable experience.

Our signature project in 2022 was the construction start of our new Amenity Center. Slated to be completed in early January, this amenity will feature a saltwater pool, fitness center, two lane bowling, pool side kitchen, curated general store, full bar and Member gathering area. We expect to gradually open this exciting addition to the Bright’s Creek community over the first few months of 2023.

Our golf team continued to enhance the overall golf experience with improvements in the outside services experience, expanding our pro shop retail offerings and improvements to the range and comfort stations. We also added several new social golf events to provide new ways for Members and their guests to connect.

As we head into 2023, we will continue to invest in our club’s facility, amenities and services and look for ways to further enhance the experience.

Regards and thank you,

Steve Alden | General Manager

BREATHE!!!

Breathing is a vital component for motion. In fact, the more you breathe and focus the breathing before shots and workouts the more range of motion you can achieve.

See the video below from Dr. Greg Rose of the Titleist Performance Institute. They use the term distraction to create more motion or the separating of joints. Using motion, pausing and then breathing can open up room for greater range of motion.

Winter notes will have more movement and workout drills to come, so please send areas of interest to afetsko@brightscreekclub.com.

Sincerely,

AJ Fetsko, PGA
