FITNESS Fitness Center • 336­584­9848 THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY HOURS Wednesday, November 25 5:30am ­ 7:00pm Thanksgiving Day | Closed Friday, November 27 7:00am ­ 7:00pm COVID­19 WAIVER FOR FITNESS CENTER | Click Here It’s Back! Our Annual Maintain Don’t Gain Challenge Festive parties and holiday treats can add up to a lot of fun and a lot of extra pounds (average holiday weight gain is six to eight pounds).This program will help you become more active and eat healthy so you can maintain or lose weight instead of packing on holiday pounds. How does it work? Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, your goal is to maintain your weight no more than 2 pounds above your initial start weight, and to be physically active for at least 30 minutes each day. To maximize weight control, pay attention to the foods you choose ­ make smart selections and go easy on the holiday treats. This is the perfect time to increase your fruit and vegetable intake to at least five servings a day. Also, it’s important to begin the day with healthy breakfast choices. After the challenge, you’ll be rewarded with the best gifts of all: an active, healthy lifestyle, control of your weight and feeling great about your holiday habits. Why participate? For many people, starting a physical activity program can be difficult ­ especially during the holiday season. Work, family and other responsibilities often crowd out time to do something good for yourself. This program can help you get back on track and stay there by making fitness fun with activities, articles, and rewards. Who can participate? This program is available to all members of Alamance Country Club. How do I get started? Stop by the Fitness Center and complete the registration form by November 25th deadline and the program materials will be provided to you. You will need to weigh in before Thanksgiving and again before January 12 on the Fitness Center’s scales. For more information, or to sign up for the program, please feel free to call or stop by the Fitness Center. We look forward to helping you to “maintain, not gain” this holiday season.

Golf Shop Hours 336­584­1326 8:30am to 5:30pm Tuesday through Sunday The Golf Course will open for play next Friday, November 27!!! Your Golf Professional Staff Drake Woodside PGA Director of Golf

Heather Hauk PGA Director of Instruction

Ben Ponko

In preparation for this re­opening and to make sure we are diligent and responsible custodians during this early period of play, we have created a "Playbook" for our members that details what to expect, how to manage his/her way around the golf course, and how to reserve tee times. We will have a "Soft Open" that requires rounds be limited daily. Please visit the website "Golf" Page to view the Playbook (also here). We will have copies in the Golf Shop as well. Please take the time to read this important document! Drake, Peter, and Jeff will monitor traffic and recommend adjustments to our opening protocols as available. This is a just a starting point! For our Grand Opening Weekend, we are going to have a maximum of 64 rounds each day. We will be using a Lottery System to make sure as many members have the opportunity to play during this first weekend. This Lottery System will be used for weekend play as demand dictates.

Associate Assistant Golf Professional

How the Lottery Works 1) Each day is scheduled for a 10am double tee with 12 minute tee times

Skyler Holt

2)

Members may begin calling the Golf Shop Friday, November 20th, at 8:30am to enter the Lottery and can do so until 5pm Sunday, November 22nd.

3)

Members will designate preference for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (for example, 1st Preference Saturday, 2nd Preference Friday, 3rd Preference Sunday). If a day is absolutely not available for the player, please let the staff know so that we remove the group from that day's lottery.

4)

All players in the foursome must be submitted at time of request

5)

Drake and one other staff member will draw the lottery and post times by 5pm the Tuesday before play

6) For Opening Weekend only, since it is a holiday, members may have Immediate Family Guests (defined as non­dependent children, siblings, and parents); Guests will not be allowed and play will consist of members only for the first few weeks of play (see Playbook) otherwise. 7) Only if space is available can a player be part of a group on multiple days. If space is available after the lottery is completed, a member (only) who has already played may join a group for an additional day. Multiple groups with the same member will not be entered into the Lottery. 8) If for any reason all 3 days are full and there are groups who did not make it onto the course, those groups will have first right of refusal for the following Saturday or Sunday (December 5th or 6th). Our goal is to offer the best opportunity for all golf members to play Opening Weekend!!
