MESSAGE FROM MEMBERSHIP
Cheers to 30 years! 2018 promises to be a
year of fun and excitement as the Club
celebrates 30 years of service. To liven
things up a bit in 2018 we are planning
some “pop-up social events” in various
areas of the club. It is our hope that not
only will you join festivities in the areas that
you have become familiar with using but
that you will also try a few new things in
2018. Guest participation at some events
will be highly encouraged while other
events will be strictly for “members
only”. More details to follow via the club’s
newsletter, emails, Facebook and on our
website.
We will start our 30th year by celebrating
on Tuesday, January 30th during the
Taste of Tuesday Buffet. From day one The
Woodlands was designed to be a family-
friendly club so what better way to start off
the anniversary celebration than at the
Taste of Tuesday Buffet?! To help us
prepare and staff appropriately, RSVP’s to
the Taste of Tuesday Buffet would be
greatly appreciated but walk-ins will also be
accepted. The buffet price will remain at
$13.95 adult and $9.95 for children 12 and
under. The January 30th Taste of Tuesday
menu will be available on-line in the
upcoming weeks.
We also plan to salute members based
upon their years of continued membership
support by listing their names in our
monthly newsletters. This month we are
starting off with the Classes of 1988, 1989
& 1990 (see page 5).
Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary,
CLUB NEWS
FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Can you easily recall what you were doing back in 1988? Some of us were paying on
average $92,000 for a new home, 91 cents for a gallon of gas, 65 cents for a dozen
eggs, and under $10,000 for a new Ford Taurus. We were also going to see Rain
Man and Die Hard at the theaters, and printing Lotus 123 spreadsheets out on dot
matrix printers. In sports close to our hearts Stefan Edberg and Steffi Graf won
Wimbledon titles, while at The Masters Sandy Lyle hit a famous 7 iron from the
fairway bunker on #18 that led to a birdie and the victory. In addition to all the
above, 1988 also saw the opening of The Woodlands Club. As I’ve written about
several times before, Jim Vamvakias and Bob DeRice were Portland Country Club
members who dreamed of building a club that had an array of amenities that would
appeal to the entire family, and boy did they get it right. I have been fortunate to
visit many New England clubs during my tenure, as well as many other in various
parts of the country. Even after 30 years we are still ahead of the curve! I’m very
confident in saying that our club will continue to evolve in the coming years. With
the growth of new sports like pickleball and perhaps others that we don’t know
about yet, in addition to the never ending need to refurbish or redesign, it is exciting
to think about what our club might look like in another 30 years.
Thank you very much for your continued generosity with the annual staff Holiday
Fund. Everyone really appreciates it and you make a difference in the lives of all the
staff that are here to serve you. At the beginning of December, I too received a very
similar letter to the one you receive from a club I joined down in South Carolina
earlier this year. For the first time I was able to see it clearly from the opposite
perspective and I immediately sent a check off!
Until next month, we will see you around the Club,
Bill Robinson, CCM

ishing long with soft, round tannins.

including Mendocino, Lake, Napa and Sonoma Counties.

IT’S A WRAP!
It’s a wrap on yet another

you to everyone who left

8 GOLF
JANUARY GOLF TIP:
This is a great time of year to focus on changes that
will help during the warmer months.
Flexibility and Weight Training: We have a
first class fitness staff here at The Woodlands. Take
advantage of them! Let them work with you to
develop a personalized stretching and training
routine. This will pay off in added yards and
increased stamina which means lower scores!
Keep Swinging: Tom Watson continues to amaze
me with the high level of golf he has maintained for
years. When he is at his home in Kansas City, he
swings a weighted club for five minutes, twice a day.
Keep those golf muscles active! We like the
Orange Whip, check it out! A quick video analysis
will help to identify any swing changes necessary.
Putt, Putt, Putt: First, let our professional staff
observe your stroke so that you practice positively
rather than groove a poor stroke. There are
several good practice tools available to aid in a
repeatable putting stroke. All you need is your
putter, some golf balls and a
carpet!
And Finally, Exercise Your Brain: There is no
shortage of golf instruction books. This winter is a
great time to learn about the mental aspect of golf.
Take a look at the rules of golf too. It is sure to save
you some strokes!
If you want to read and learn about the golf swing
and more, follow Michael Hebron on Facebook. He
is a National PGA Teacher of the year and always
interesting.
If you are on twitter follow Brandel Chamblee
(@chambleebrandel) and Lucas Wald (@lucaswald).
Both share good information and videos on the golf
swing. And just for fun, follow @darth_monty, a
parody account supposedly from Colin
Montgomery.
GOLF SHOP
WINTER HOURS
The Golf Shop will be CLOSED for the months of
January and February. The shop will reopen with
normal business hours for the 2018 season on
March 1ST.
For Junior Golf info, please check the Junior Golf
bulletin board or email John Mullen
To schedule a lesson with Doug, please email
You may also schedule a lesson with our
professional staff by email:
John Mullen: [email protected]
Paul Piveronas: [email protected]
Jake McVety: [email protected]
Thank you for your support.
Would you like to make 2018 the year you really improve your golf game? We
tend to treat the golf learning process differently from other activities that require
motor skills.
Here are the accepted steps for motor learning for Baseball:
-Make the team
-Go to scheduled practices
-Learn the basics- catching, hitting, throwing
-Do drills so basics become second nature
-Continue process throughout playing career
Here are the accepted steps for motor learning for Music:
-Find a qualified instructor
-Take regular lessons
-Learn the basics
-Practice between lessons
-Learn in a process from simple to complex.
Here is how most of us attempt to learn Golf:
-Go to driving range with a friend who plays a little better than you
-From this person, take advice such as “keep your head down”, “keep your left arm straight”, “take the
club straight back and straight through”
-Try out tips from your friends and the golf channel
-Using your driver, hit hundreds of balls to ingrain these habits
Why do we deviate from a successful formula when it comes to golf? Doesn’t make much sense, does it?
If one of your resolutions for 2018 is to have more fun on the golf course, consider this
version:
-Find an instructor who is qualified and who you “click” with
-Take regular lessons
-Learn the basics such as grip, aim, set up, swing path, putting, chipping, centered club face contact
-Do drills so that basics become second nature
-Practice correctly between lessons
-Learn in a progression from simple to complex
-Make improvement an ongoing process
Let our award winning professional staff help you make 2018 the year you have more fun (play better golf)!

rules and terminology that adds fun to the learning and playing experience. Falling somewhere
between miniature golf and regulation golf,
SNAG® allows for full shots, pitching, chipping,
and putting.
The SNAG Ball™ has a limited distance, with the
average player launching it a maximum of 50 yards.

The Tennis Department is looking directly at you, the one who wants to take on a
new activity this winter! Something that can keep you active, laughing, and give you
the opportunity to meet new people and have fun with friends. If you have never
played the game of tennis, or played years ago (don’t worry, we won’t ask how
many), we have a clinic suited just for you.
This is a drop in clinic and all we ask is that you come with some energy, we will
provide the rest!
Email Jon Parry at [email protected] to sign up!
UPCOMING CLINIC POSSIBILITIES
We would like to hear from you! Please drop us a line as we are discussing
some offerings to the membership this winter. Some of the clinic possibilities
would be a Ladies Singles Clinic, an All Levels Serving Clinic, and a mid-week
morning Cardio Tennis Clinic. Please email Jon at [email protected] if any
of these would interest you.
WINTER WEATHER REMINDER
Please remember with the winter season upon us, this also brings about sand and
salt. Please remember to change your shoes in the lobby prior to entering the
bubble.
NEW BALL MACHINE
We are excited to inform you that we have a new ball machine with some exciting
features. It’s specifically on Ball Machine #1 and if you would like to see how it
works, please feel free to take to any of our staff for a demonstration.
