F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N TIt’s still a couple months until our annual meeting on October 29th, but work is already underway for a critical portion of that meeting – the election of new members to our Board of Directors. Therefore, I think it’s an appropriate time to put a spotlight on our nominating process, as well as how our club is governed.

Our General Manger, Michael Fay and his staff of well qualified professionals are responsible for the day to day operations of our club. However, club objectives and strategic direction are the responsibility of your Board of Directors. The Board is assisted in its work by the dozens of club members who serve on the standing committees. Simply put, the hard work and long hours dedicated by these committee members are critical to the smooth running of Chartwell.

The Board is comprised of nine members, each of whom serves a three-year term. One of the Board members becomes president for a one-year term, and each of the remaining members of the Board chairs a standing committee: Clubhouse (Lee Meyers); Finance (John Soderlund); Golf (Steve Dayton); Greens (Jay Dixon); Membership (Tim Connolly); Social (Shauna Talbot); Strategic Planning (Phil Bowman); and Tennis and Pool (Chuck Fratus). When necessary, we also establish ad hoc committees, as in the recent past when we selected a new golf professional, Chef, and General Manager. In addition to attending Board meetings, each member of the Board also leads committee meetings and frequently meets with the staff members to ensure that the Board and management are on the same page. As you can see, being on the Board entails a significant time investment and we’re fortunate that highly qualified members of the club have agreed to serve on the Board.

Each year, three members rotate off the Board and are replaced with three new members. This year, Tim Connolly, Lee Meyers, and I will leave the Board. Our By-Laws dictate

that a “Nominating Committee,” led by the immediate past President, nominates members numbering “at least the number of vacancies”. Names of these members are posted on the bulletin board at least sixty days prior to our annual meeting. This process enables the Nominating Committee to consider people who have expressed an interest in being on the Board, their skills, club and committee participation, as well as the skills of the people already serving on the Board. The Nominating Committee consists of one member of each standing committees, and a member of the Board Executive Committee who serves as a board liaison and a non-voting member of the committee. This year, the members of the Nominating Committee were: Jim Burns (Membership); Bob Coppersmith (Greens); Chad King (Golf ); Nancy Lashley (Social); Kevin McGrath (Tennis & Pool); Jim Roberts (Finance); Jace Sterling (House); and Dennis Wells (Strategic Planning). Tim Connolly, Vice President of the Board served as our Board Liaison.

Although our By-Laws allow the Nominating Committee to nominate more candidates than the number of vacancies, Chartwell, like the majority of clubs nationwide, uses a targeted approach and nominates only enough candidates to fill the vacancies. This process enables the committee to nominate the individuals it feels are best qualified to fill the particular vacancies on the board. Importantly, our By-Laws also provide the opportunity and process for any member desiring to be nominated in addition to those named by the Nominating Committee. Additional nominations may be made by placing the names of the nominees over the signatures of at least 35 members on the bulletin board no less than 30 days prior to the annual meeting. For these reasons, the Board believes that our current process is the best fit for our club.

This year your Nominating Committee has nominated Shaun Mahoney, Dave Orso, and Suzanne Sheridan as its candidates. I hope you’ll agree with your committee’s choices and give the new Board members the same support that you’ve given to me over the past three years.

One final note—serving on a committee is a critical first step in becoming a Board member. The Nominating Committee concluded that participating in a committee shows a commitment to the governance of the club that is critical to successful service on the Board. If you’re interested in serving on a committee, please contact any member of the Board to discuss opportunities to serve. We need to draw on the skills possessed by our members to make sure that Chartwell thrives in a challenging environment.

Finally I want to thank all of the members of the Nominating Committee, and especially my predecessor, Rick Hans, for his leadership and their successful deliberations. Please let me know if you have any questions about the process or if you’d like to become more involved in the governance of the Club.

B O A R D N O M I N AT I O N S

S H A U N M A H O N E YI am honored to be nominated for the Chartwell Board of Directors. We have seen many positive changes at Chartwell over the recent years but there is still work to

be done and I am excited to help guide the future of our club. I say “our” because we each have an obligation to preserve Chartwell and the legacy for which it is known.

My wife Julie and I have been members since 2004 and along with our two children Liam (9) and Meg (7) enjoy Chartwell immensely playing, golf, tennis, swimming and the many social and dining events throughout the year. One aspect I admire most about Chartwell is the integrity of the membership and the examples of this we see every day, from the charity fund raising events for the community, the family atmosphere, to the dedicated professional staff. The friendships we have made are truly special and will be the memories that will last a lifetime.

At Chartwell I have previously served on the Deli Golf Tournament committee for 4 years and 6 years with the Clubhouse Committee under two previous Chairmen. I will take this experience I have gained to the Board of Director and the membership at large.

I am a 1991 Graduate of University of Maryland, College Park and have been in mortgage banking for 21 years. I have also owned and operated a successful Irish Pub and restaurant in Federal Hill for 5 years. This was created from the ground up with great success and became a popular community destination.

Through my professional and personal endeavors, I have been involved in numerous projects, both large and small that required commitment and perseverance. If elected, I will utilize this knowledge to help Chartwell enhance the services and programs it provides all of its members.

D A V E O R S O Chartwell Country Club has been a constant in my life for the last 30 years. Because of the positive impact Chartwell has had on my life, I would welcome the opportunity to give back to the club through service on the board.

I was blessed to have grown up as a junior golfer at Chartwell Country Club beginning in the early 1980’s and won four junior club

championships. My passion for golf blossomed through the incredible support and interest from the club’s professional staff along with countless rounds with my father

at Chartwell. Competitive junior golf led to me receiving a Division I golf scholarship to the University of Dayton where I played against notable professional golfers such as Tiger Woods from Stanford, Luke Donald from Northwestern, Zack Johnson from Drake, Johnson Wagner from Virginia Tech, and Ben Curtis from Kent State . After graduation, I was a founding board member of The First Tee of Baltimore which is a non-profit organization designed to expose under privileged youth to the game of golf. Currently I am a national panelist for Golf Digest magazine’s Top 100 golf course ranking committee which evaluates and ranks the Top 100 golf courses in America.

On a personal note, I am married to Dawn Orso and we have three beautiful children; Max (13), Olivia (7), and Amelia (4). I reside in my childhood home in Arnold and own a real estate practice specializing in residential home sales. Throughout my professional life I have had experience with many aspects of running a business. The principles which guide my value system are rooted in the game I love; etiquette, integrity, hard work and patience. I hope my involvement and dedicated service with our Board of Directors will continue to enhance the exceptional operations and management of Chartwell.

S U Z A N N E S H E R I D A NI am greatly honored to be nominated for the Chartwell Golf and Country Club Board of Directors. With all of the exciting changes happening within the club, I am pleased to be asked to contribute moving the club forward for all members.

My family and I have been members of the club for over 7 years. After moving into the Chartwell neighborhood, the club has become an integral part of our social lives and has provided us the opportunity to meet many wonderful friends. I have been an active volunteer within the club participating with both the House and Green committees. I have also served as 9-Hole Golf Vice President and Treasurer. I am currently participating with the 18-Hole, 9-Hole Interclub and Twilight golf leagues. My husband, Chip, is very active with the Men’s golf program. Our children, Nicholas and Olivia, are regularly seen at the golf course, pool and tennis courts. They participate in the summer Kids’ Camps, Jr Golf program, swim team and other junior social activities.

I found my way to Severna Park via St. Louis. After graduating from college in Western New York with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, I moved to St. Louis while working with Grant Thornton. I was an integral part of building their National Consulting practice. In 1992, several associates and I struck out on our own and built a multimillion dollar national consulting and technical education business. Currently I am working with Deloitte Consulting, managing multiple technical teams implementing complex HRMS systems.

I am confident, that between my business background, project management skills, and active involvement with the club, I can positively represent the membership supporting the vision and mission of the club.

L E T T E R F R O M T H E G E N E R A L M A N A G E R

A B O U T O U R S T R AT E G I C P L A NLeonardo Da Vinci once said – “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!” There is no reason to make things more complicated in life, especially when it comes to setting a strategic plan for our club. I have come to realize that what most people think about when they hear the words “strategic planning” is not what most people actually do when they develop the key strategies for their business. In July, many members were part of several focus groups that were developed to draw out key items that are most important, not only to the members but to prospective members as well.

L O N G T E R M V S . S H O R T T E R M :For a strategic planning process to be followed in an organization, consideration needs to be given to both the long-term and the short-term. For example, if we are intent on retaining members over a long term period than we must focus on better training and services in the short term. However, there would also need to be effort made to grow and recruit new members. This would entail several other key strategic issues for the plan; such as infrastructure attention and marketing, which are definitely strategic necessities. If a strategy is to transform the organization, then a shorter-term strategic transitioning plan is necessary, as well as the long-term strategic plan.

As with any process, the influences need to be addressed. When creating a strategic plan, this would involve analyzing the external environment and predicting what impact this environment could have on the organization over the next few years. Political, economic, social, and environmental, as well as competition changes need to be assessed for their potential as opportunities for, or threats to, the organization. During our focus groups and Board meetings these factors were addressed. As with the internal, the external factors that includes competitors, customers, consumers, the incumbent industry, suppliers and vendors also needs to be analyzed to determine how changes in it could impact the organization.

The internal environment forms an important part of the system as well and needs to be focused on to ascertain the weaknesses and strengths that exist with regard to leadership, culture, communications, structure, facilities and equipment, amongst others. Current operating challenges need to be highlighted to ensure that they are adequately addressed as the organization forges forward.

Because everything we do occurs within a closed community, member’s needs and expectations must be considered when devising a strategic plan. Through the plan, opportunities need to be harnessed, threats managed, strengths optimized and weaknesses eliminated.

Analysis of our needs and wants will help to inform all the choices made for the strategy. However, the common goal will provide the direction. An inspiring vision that has been created by the membership establishes the direction of the organization and where it wants to go. The mission statement defines the purpose of the organization and provides the reason for its existence. Once goals are established, it becomes clear what needs to be achieved in crucial focus areas in order to realize the vision. As goals are often large in scope, they need to be broken down into objectives. These specific targets or end-results form the basis for an action plan. This will ensure that the strategy is made into a working document; one that can inform sections of the organization on what needs to be done, and against which progress can be measured. “Having a vision without action is daydreaming. Having action without a vision is a nightmare.”

The top key strategic issues as listed by the members and Board are below:

1. Membership growth, level, recruitment, retention

2. Debt Management/financial stability

3. Food and Beverage Service levels and Banquet revenue/sales

4. Denim Policy

5. Pool service levels/ Pool House

6. Communication Plan/ Marketing – entire facility

7. Membership Satisfaction/services

8. Tennis Bubble/ Programming

It is within this list that we will begin our strategic plan. Your strategic planning committee has already begun work on devising a plan to accomplish these items, as requested by you. One of my favorite quotes is from Joel Barker, “No one will thank you for taking care of the present if you have neglected the future”. I hope we all will take care of our present while securing our future.

September/October 2013

The USGA reports that after a short bout of extremely high temperatures in mid-July, milder temperatures have moved into most of the Mid-Atlantic region. Cooler temperatures allow recovery of stressed turf to begin, but it will still take time before progress is noticeable. Unfortunately, frequent rainfall is still an issue for much of the region. While normal precipitation is welcomed for the grass, excessive rainfall creates problems for maintenance and playability.

The scheduled August aeration of the entire course has by now filled in nicely in advance of our courses second season — Fall ball! The stress of summer heat and rain gives way to cooler nights and a great grass growing season.

Once again, Steve and his crew have performed their magic and kept our course looking and playing as well as any in the region. They truly understand the nuances of our transition zone weather and the peculiarities of our varied turf.

So amidst all these positives, “what’s wrong with the upper pond?” Turns out, both ponds have never been healthier. The turtles are thriving (although sometimes appear to glow with algae covering their shells) and the fish, frogs, snakes, and aquatic vegetation are great as well. Unfortunately, the algae bloom afflicting the upper pond is a sad microcosm of the same issues impacting the Chesapeake Bay. Run-off from the surrounding neighborhoods impact the water chemistry. In our case, the results are increased algae blooms. While the pond is not stagnant, there’s not enough water flow to prevent the build up of the unsightly algae. The fountain that was there early in the season broke and the cost to repair it was greater than the cost to replace it. However,

the fountain alone is not the solution. The fountain would merely push the surface algae away, creating a small clear area. The solution is a pond aerification system that circulates and oxygenates the water. Such a system has been included in the Capital budget over the past few years however other items have received priority.

The course and the club have many needs and prioritizing needs is a chief responsibility of your

Board. There are numerous exciting plans in the works to improve the course and the club. All of

which will require a commitment of the entire membership to ensure our collective desires for

continued improvement of our club and facilities.

G O L F N E W SThis year’s Men’s Twilight League continued to be one of the most highly anticipated & well participated season long events at Chartwell. The league boosted 144 players made up of 12 team captains each having eleven other team members on their team. The season was split into halves with the first 5 matches formatted with a better ball of partners & the sec-ond half formatted with single matches.

The first week of the playoffs provided two close matches with team Lombardo prevailing over team Horrigan 5-3. In the other quarter-final match team Drewniak beat team Murnane 4-2. The semi-final matches provided a tale of two takes... In the first match team Snyder had team Lombardo’s number with a 6-0 victory. The second match proved to be more tightly contested with team McBee defeating team Drewniak 6-4. The finals were now set with the top two teams from their respective conferences facing off. Team Snyder sent out a stout line-up with Chip Fry & Bill Homoky, Jim Miller & Rick Hans, Don Pette & Dick Mulholland, & Steven Meyer & Charlie Snyder. Team McBee countered with Kris Ruckelshaus & Andy McLay, John Hanou & Chuck McBee, Chad King & Kevin Mills, & Mike Winters & Jim Hilliard. The teams proved to be evenly matched with team Snyder taking the first two matches while team McBee rallied to force a sudden death playoff by winning the final two matches. The playoff was on hole #1 with team McBee sending Chuck McBee & Mike Winters against team Snyder’s Jim Miller & Rick Hans. A two putt Par from Jim Miller on the first green secured the victory for Jim Miller, Rick Hans and Team Snyder. The thrilling finish suited a season where fun and fellowship were had by all!

W O M E N ’ S T W I L I G H T L E A G U EThank you to all of you supported the league this year. It was great to see you all enjoy some friendly competition and camaraderie with your teammates. We had a great finals match this year with Team’s Verreault & Bradford being the soul survivors. In our first match of the night we had Wendy Bradford & Nancy Hall face off against Gayle Verreault & Therese Roberts. Wendy and Nancy played steady and never trailed winning 2&1 giving Team Bradford their first two points of the night.

The stage was then set for the second match, with Team Bradford only needing one point to claim victory. Laura Westervelt & Maria Marsteller were looking to get that point in their match against Jamie Schmidt & Suzanne Sheridan. Jamie & Suzanne got off to a hot start winning three of the first four holes to gain a sizeable lead. In the end, the 9th hole was halved giving Team Bradford the single point they needed to win this year’s Ladies Twilight Championship.

Congratulations to both Team Bradford and Verreault on matches well played!!

Thank you to all the ladies for all of your support and to the captain’s for stepping up and organizing your teams this year. We would not be able to do this without your efforts!!!

J U N I O R G O L F W E E KThis year we introduced many new phases to our Junior Golf Program. One of the most successful was Junior Golf Week. Junior Golf Week consisted of four consecutive days of instruction followed with the junior golfers taking what they learned to the course. We had over 70 junior golfers participate in the week-long event. Of course, the success of the week not only depends on the golfers but the parents and grandparents who gave their time to help mentor. One of the more gratifying moments of the week was seeing the juniors after their round, hitting golf balls & working on their putting even after a long day of golf. The success of this week shows that our Junior Golf Program is as strong as ever & will continue to grow!

J U N I O R C L U B C H A M P I O N S H I PThe Junior Club Championship was held on Saturday, August 10th. The weather was beautiful, perfect for good scoring and the junior golfers did not disappoint! Participation was great with 60 juniors competing in 7 divisions. In the 18 Hole Girls division Sydney Mills defeated Heather Deval in a great match. In the 18 Hole Boys division Matthew Snowdon held off Stephen Miller to win. In the 9 Hole Boys division Burt Gesner shot an impressive 42 to take home first with Addison Wells coming in 2nd. The 9 Hole Gold division was won by Nathan Clarke with Tommy Coleman finishing just behind him in 2nd. The 7 Hole Gold division champions were Alec Foxen & Megan Garmey with Cole Hite & Katie Lombardo finishing 2nd.
