FROM THE CLUBHOUSE

Dear Members, As the temperature outside begins to warm and the flowers start to bloom, we are seeing sure signs that Spring will soon be here! We are already seeing an increasing number of Members gathering throughout the Club as the season approaches. In celebration of Spring, a wide array of exciting Member events have been planned. It all kicks off with March Madness ~ a trio of weekend specials including BYOB Fridays, Lucky Deuce Saturdays and Sunday Brunch Bottomless Mimosas. On March 18, a special wine tasting will be offered where a variety of wines are paired with complementing tapas. Please join us Saturday, April 2 for Picnic & Music at the River Park which includes a “potluck social,” where the staff grills up the main course, but the sides are up to you! Also, get ready for our first ever “Cutthroat Kitchen” Cooking Class on April 9, where teams will help prepare the meal but beware, each team will face challenges and sabotages during the competition! Space will be limited, so please sign up online or through the Concierge.

ARB Update

by Wendy Wagner, ARB Administrator

Our nation’s coasts make up less than 20 percent of our total land area, yet more than half of the nation lives along the coastline. Managing our coasts to ensure that we can continue to enjoy these areas and their resources is the primary role of the South Carolina Department of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM). This state agency is responsible for managing a science-based, comprehensive national system of marine protected areas, and supporting effective management practices to protect, sustain, and restore our fragile ecosystems. This agency focus their attention on addressing the critical issues of habitat protection, water quality, and climate change in America’s coastal areas. All waterfront and marsh lots in Berkeley Hall have an OCRM river buffer. The river buffer extends 50’ from all tidal waters and wetlands beginning at the OCRM critical line. Any disturbance of the shoreline within the river buffer landward of the SC critical line, requires the property owner to submit a Revegetation Plan (Landscape Plan) to the Zoning Development Administrator of Beaufort County (ZDA). Once approval is received by Beaufort County a copy of the approval and landscape plan should be provided to the ARB for their review and approval. A final inspection of the landscaping will be done by Beaufort County to ensure that compliance has been met. The principal objective of this Plan is to preserve and replace as much of the on-site pre-construction native vegetation as possible. Only native plants are permitted and no permanent irrigation is allowed. A guide for acceptable plantings can be found in the SC DEHC publication entitled “Backyard Buffers.” A property owner may make application for a view corridor through the river buffer however, the corridor cannot extend for more than 75 feet or onethird of the lot’s width, whichever is less. Typically, the view corridor will only involve pruning for better views, however, an owner may also submit a selective clearing and landscaping plan for their corridor. This will only be approved by Beaufort County DRT if the net result provides both ample screening of the shoreline and filtering of the runoff from the lawn on the lot. Members are welcome to stop by or email me wwagner@berkeleyhallclub.com with any questions that you would like to bring to the attention of the ARB. We will be happy to investigate the matter and assist you in resolving your issues. If you have just purchased your lot or home in Berkeley Hall, please contact the ARB for a copy of the ARB Standards.

Easter Donations to Bluffton Self Help Members of Berkeley Hall continue to overwhelm Bluffton Self Help with their generosity. In past years, the agency has requested donations of Easter Baskets however, this year there has been a change in their request for donations. They are accepting Easter Basket supplies rather than prepared Easter baskets for families in our community. This change will give parents the opportunity to participate in making their Easter Baskets for their children. Parents will go to the Bluffton Self Help store, choose items would be appropriate for their children’s age(s) and arrange their own Easter Baskets with help from volunteers. As a suggestion, there is a long list of items that you might consider donating including: Easter baskets, decorative grass, clear wrappers, ribbon, candy, small toys, books, crayons, colored pencils, sketch pads, coloring books, plastic shovels/pails, sand toys, balls, stuffed animals, puzzles, and plastic eggs filled with candy. Please bring your donated items to Ann Timashenka at 9 Hopsewee Dr. before Monday, March 14. If you are bringing plastic eggs filled with candy, please include the name of the candy that the eggs are filled with on the bag. This helps alert parents if their children have any allergies. In addition, we are recruiting a few volunteers to help the parents prepare the Easter baskets at the Bluffton Self Help store on Monday, March 21 between 1-3pm and 5-7pm, and on Thursday, March 24 from 1-3pm. Your continued support will provide much joy to families in our neighboring communities this Easter season! If you would like to help, please email Ann Timashenka at altima5@comcast.net.

Biannual Flower Rotation by Kayne Hoecht, Director of Community Services

The last two weeks of April is the time we schedule our biannual flower rotation. By the time each Spring our flower beds need to be refreshed, since the violas have experienced the worst of winter by suffering damage caused by disease, insects and deer. This flower rotation gives us an opportunity to install some of the newest plant species and top performing flowers that are best suited for our climate. From past experiences, there is always a long list of plants to select from, but we can narrowed the list down to approximately twenty varieties that will create an ideal assortment of colorful flowers. Our final selection was based on the uniqueness of each variety, their colors, disease susceptibility, resistance to deer, and level of general maintenance. The final selections were ordered through our wholesaler in January who then began their custom growing process. They will be grown to specifications, according to our desired pot size and date of installation. This year, you will see many new varieties on property including; Valiant Vinca, Mojave Purslane, Dragons Breath Celosia, Meteor Shower Verbena, and Flame Thrower Coleus. It will present an exciting array of flowers with brilliant colors that we hope you enjoy.

This entails nursing visits, medications, supplies and procedures. The National Alliance on Mental Illness Lowcountry project funded by the BHCF grant will help train bilingual Latino volunteers to facilitate separate support groups for individuals with mental illness, parents of children with mental illness, and parents of adults with mental illness. Bill Reddersen Addresses the Berkeley Hall Charitable Foundation (BHCF)

In November 2015, the Berkeley Hall Charitable Foundation (BHCF) funded more than $136,000 in grants for critical projects serving Bluffton’s most vulnerable residents. These grants were made possible by you, our Berkeley Hall members, through your response to our 2014 Annual Appeal and your participation in our 2015 Charity Cup events. Our 2016 grant cycle will be funded by monies raised through our 2015 Annual Appeal and our 2016 Charity Cup which will be held on Memorial Day, Monday May 30, 2016. We sincerely hope you will.

Stay and Play on Memorial Day! See how your generosity last year is making a difference locally. In 2015, grants were made to the following organizations: Meals-on-Wheels provides their clients, (homebound, mostly elderly with a variety of medical issues), one nutritious meal per day, five days per week. The BHCF grant will support the cost of approximately 1100 meals. The BHCF grant to The Children’s Center, Inc. will provide early childhood education and childcare services for children from 5 Bluffton families for a full twelve months. Memory Matters addresses the needs of individuals suffering from Alzheimers and their families.

The BHCF grant will support the Neighborhood Outreach Connection’s flagship program at its Bluffton House Learning Center which serves about 80 children from low income families through its preschool, after school, and summer programs helping these children excel in school. The BHCF grant to Lowcountry Legal Volunteers will help fund the Executive Attorney’s salary and will provide legal services to 12 low income families (approximately 43 people) in Bluffton. The BHCF grant will be used to support one of Bluffton Self Help’s most important programs: assisting our neighbors who are facing an immediate financial emergency that threatens their homes such as payment of rent and utility bills. The BHCF grant to The Literacy Center will help to equip adults with the reading, writing, math, and speaking skills they need to be successful with their family, in their job and in our community.

The BHCF grant to the Boys and Girls Club of Bluffton will support two projects. First, “Explorers: Learning for Life” which provides mentorship activities led by the Bluffton Police Department. Second, the grant will support a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Program with a technology-enabled training and mentoring to teens. The BHCF grant to Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse will provide matching funds to hire a second children’s counselor and expand services to children and families in the Bluffton area, providing critical services to help prevent children from becoming victims or perpetrators of violence or bullying. The BHCF grant to Deep Well will be used for their Livable Housing Projects providing repairs and renovations on homes for the most vulnerable residents of Bluffton who have neither the funds nor the expertise to do the work on their own. BackPack Buddies of Bluffton is a program dedicated to feeding hungry children in the Greater Bluffton area. BHCF’s 2015 grant will us to provide weekly backpacks for 25 children in the River Ridge Academy and to add 5 more children to the existing backpack program at Pritchardville Elementary.

The Slant of Light by Jeffery Lent Monday, March 7 @ 3pm; Ladies Locker Room At the close of the Civil War, weary veteran Malcolm Hopeton returns to his home in western New York State to find his wife and hired man missing and his farm in disrepair. A double murder ensues, the repercussions of which ripple through a community with spiritual roots in the Second Great Awakening. Hopeton has gone from the horrors of war to those far worse, and arrayed around him are a host of other people struggling to make sense of his crime. A Slant of Light is a novel of earthly pleasure and deep love, of loss and war, of prophets and followers, of theft and revenge, in an American moment where a seemingly golden age. ~ Review: Amazon.

The Circle by Dave Eggers Monday, April 4 @ 3pm; Ladies Locker Room Set in an undefined future time, The Circle is the story of Mae Holland, a young woman hired to work for the world’s most powerful internet company. Run out of a sprawling California campus, the Circle has subsumed all the tech companies we know of now, linking users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are sports teams and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world - even as her life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heartracing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy and the limits of human knowledge. ~ Review: New York Times For further information concerning the Ladies Book Club, please contact Wendy Hansen at hansenwendyj@gmail.com.

New Handicap Rules for 2016

The USGA has made six revisions to the USGA Handicap System for 2016. The revisions include: definition of a tournament score, adjusting hole scores, posting scores when a player is disqualified, anchoring and posting, playing alone, and committee responsibilities. Please visit the website below to learn about the details of these revisions:

Winners: Gene Schraeder & Joe Flowers Runners-Up: Dennis Visich & John Langhorne

www.usga.org/articles/2015/11/key-changes-to-handicap-system-for-2016.html

The anchoring ban has been one of the most widely discussed topics over the last few years. The link below will show you a clear explanation of what remains legal and what is no longer legal. One thing is for certain, any round that is played with an anchored putting stroke may not be posted to a player’s USGA Handicap. www.usga.org/content/dam/usga/images/infographics/2016-anchoring-the-club-final.pdf

One of the most common questions that golf professionals get is how and why do you adjust handicaps when competitors are playing from different sets of tees. Below is the USGA’s explanation: A Course Handicap represents the number of strokes needed from a specific set of tees to play to the level of a scratch golfer; i.e., to the USGA Course Rating. The calculation of a Course Handicap only includes a player’s Handicap Index® and the Slope Rating® of the tees being played. When a USGA Course Rating difference exists among competitors, they are playing to different benchmarks, and an adjustment equal to the full difference in USGA Course Rating must be made in order for the competition to be equitable. Players competing from two different tees: Player A is competing from the Blue tees (71.0) and Player B is competing from the White tees (69.0). Since the USGA Course Rating difference is two strokes, Player A must add two to the Course Handicap calculated from the Blue tees. As an alternative, Player B may deduct two from the Course Handicap calculated from the White tees, as the overall effect would be the same (see Decision 3-5/1). Below is a chart that compiles all of the different handicap adjustment options at Berkeley Hall. Use the Handicaps as indicated if you play from

Fast Start For Richy Werenski on the Web.com Tour

Become a Swing Machine by Maintaining Posture by Adam Kushner, Director of Golf

Why does the Iron Byron machine strike the ball perfectly every time? It’s because everything goes back the exact same way that it comes through. It’s physically impossible to swing the club exactly like the Iron Byron Machine, but there are some important things that we can learn from visualizing it. I see a lot of different swings on the range, but one thing that is very common with most golfers is that their posture at impact is very different than their posture at address. By maintaining proper posture, it will allow you to swing more freely and become a much more consistent ball striker.

Correct

Incorrect

I believe that there are two main reasons why golfers come out of their posture; 1) Lack of flexibility and 2) Trying to hit at the ball rather than trying to swinging through it. Some of the best golfers to watch on the PGA and LPGA Tours are, Jason Day, Justin Rose, Paula Creamer, and Michelle Wie. One thing is consistent with all of these great players is that they maintain their posture throughout their swing. This gives them plenty of room for their arms to swing, which results in a beautiful free flowing golf swing. Lack of flexibility in your hips and hamstrings can make it difficult to stay in your posture. I recommend that you spend ten minutes stretching each morning, focusing on your hips and hamstrings. Our professional staff at the Fitness Center can provide you with stretching routines that will help condition your body to stay in the proper posture throughout your swing. Correct

Incorrect

There are also several drills you can use when you are out practicing: #1) Hit half shots with your right toe in the air throughout the entire golf swing. #2) Use a bag stand found at the range and hit half shots while keeping your backside touching the stand for as long as you can. #3) Hit full shots and get the feeling that your chest is covering the ball at impact. After you have practiced these drills on the range it’s time to take it to the course, and remember; keep your backside, back, and your chest down. Keep working on it and let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Richy Werenski, one of Berkeley Hall’s PGA Tour Professionals, just began his second year on the Web.Com Tour and has quickly reached another milestone in his young career. Playing at the ColomRichy Werenski bia Championship in Bogota, Colombia on February 7th, he finished tied for 2nd at 11-under par with a scores of 71, 68, 66, 68 (273). The winner was Sabastian Munoz, who was playing on a sponsor’s exemption at his home club, finished 12-under par. 2015 was Richy’s rookie year on Tour. Even though he made the cut in 14 of the 20 tournaments last year, he was required to go through the process of qualifying once again at the 3rd stage of Q-School to maintain his player’s card. However, with such a fast start on Tour this season, he has all but removed any pressure moving forward this year. His runner-up finish at the Colombia Championship nearly equals his total earnings from all of 2015, and gives him the rest of the year to take aim at his real objective - earning a PGA Tour card for 2017. “It kind of makes the rest of the year easier” Richy said, “If you make a decent paycheck in the first few events, you don’t have to worry about the reshuffles. You know you’re going to get into every event you want.” Richy went on to explain, “If there’s one thing I learned from my rookie year on Tour, a few high finishes far outweigh the consistency of making the cut.” After focusing on his wedge game at the Learning Center during the off season he came out with a different mindset. “Every time I have a wedge in my hand, I feel like I’ve got a really good chance of making a birdie. Now, I’m trying to win as many events as I can.” The 2016 Web.Com Tour plays five of its first six tournament s in South America. After the first two events, Richy is ranked #5 on the total money list having earned $61,600 with a scoring average of 69.83. Way to go Richy!

Hole #5 ~ North Course Preparations for this year’s Players Amateur

Update On Course Conditions by Chris Young, Director of Golf Course Maintenance

USGA ON SITE VISIT TO BERKELEY HALL Southeastern Agronomist Pat O’Brien On January 13, 2016, Pat O’Brien, Chief Agronomist for the Southeastern Region of the USGA, Pat O’Brien was asked to perform an on-site evaluation of the wet playing conditions found on property. He concluded that the saturated course conditions were caused by two problems; 1) The El Nino weather pattern that existed during the second half of the year 2015, produced an excessive amount of rainfall across the entire Southeast Region of the country and, 2) There are very low amounts permeable clay material found in the soil. These two combination of factors have left us with the wet playing conditions our Members have had to deal with over these past several months.

In order to avoid such problems from occuring in the future, he strongly recommended that the Club consider improving its entire drainage system. He suggested we contact Dennis Hurley, owner of “Turf Drainage of America”, who the USGA considers the recognized expert in the field of golf course drainage. He felt that his company would be able to develop a Master Drainage Plan to prevent these problems from ever reoccurring. TURF DRAINAGE OF AMERICA. DEVELOPING A MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN FOR BERKELEY HALL Shortly after Mr. O’Brien’s visit, Dennis Hurley, President and Owner of “Turf Drainage of America” was invited to the Club inspect the property. Once he completed his evaluation of course conditions, he spent a considerable amount of time explaining to staff his principles for proper drainage, and how these principles would apply to Berkeley Hall. Shortly after he left, a meeting was held Dennis Hurley Mapping Hole #2 on the South Course with the Board of Directors to present them with information we had gathered from both the USGA and Mr. Hurley. After a period of discussion, Members of the Board unanimously approved our recommendation to contract Turf Drainage of America to develop a Master Drainage Plan for all of our facilities including both golf courses, driving range and learning center. Mr. Hurley returned on January 25th, to walk the fairways on each course along with the driving range and learning center. He and his team spent four days mapping the entire property and identifying each location that would require additional seepage and surface drainage. They are working on a Master Drainage Plan that will include detailed maps on drainage along with an estimate of cost.

NEXT STEPS Once the Master Drainage Plan has been completed, the Golf and Greens Committee, and Finance Committee will develop a project schedule and method of financing the project. Their recommendations will then be presented to the Board, and another Town Meeting will be scheduled with our Members to present the Master Drainage Plan along with their recommendations for financing the project. For more information on Dennis Hurley and his drainage system, please visit Turf Drainage Company of America’s website at www.turfdrain.com. COMPLETED WINTER PROJECTS In addition to the work we have done to find a permanent solution to our drainage issues, we have also completed several winter projects. There has been two hundred feet of new cart path repairs made on #2, #10 and #12 on the South Course, and one hundred feet of root pruning preformed on Drainage 4th Fairway ~ North Course other sections to cart paths to prevent damage from the growth of tree roots.

On the North Course we have installed ninety feet of drainage to the right of #4 green along with trimming in native beds. We have also begun to replenish sand as required in many of the Bunkers. FUTURE PROJECT FOR 2016 We will be using the data collected from the mapping of our ponds last year, to begin an annual dredging schedule for every pond on property. Estate Pond Management is helping us develop a priority list of those ponds that have the most organic and silt buildup. Last month, we began the first phase of this year’s “Billy Bunker” project on the South Course. The final two phases will be completed this summer when the course is closed for aerification during the weeks of July and August. AERIFICATION DATES FOR 2016 Course Date: North April 25 - May 3 South May 20 - May 27 North June 6 - June 14 South July 13 - July 25 North August 1 - August 9 South August 22 - August 30

Simple Things For Better Posture

by Bryan Coker, Certified Personal Trainer Just how important is good posture? Truth is, good posture is at the top of the list when you are talking about good health. It’s as important as eating right, exercising, getting a good night’s sleep and avoiding potentially harmful substances like alcohol, drugs and tobacco. Good posture is a way of doing things with more energy, less stress and fatigue, and at a much lower risk of acute and/or chronic injuries. The importance of good posture to an overall fitness program is often overlooked. In fact, the benefits of good posture may be among the best kept secrets of the fitness movement. Just speak to someone suffering from the effects of years of bad posture and they will tell you how important it is! Good posture means your bones are properly aligned and your muscles, joints and ligaments can work as intended. It means your vital organs are in the right position and can function at peak efficiency. Good posture also helps contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system which allows you to be functionally stronger and more powerful. Let’s also not discount the fact that good postures makes you appear more attractive and confident. The good news is that most everyone can avoid the problems caused by bad pos#1 at any age. There are almost an endless ture, and you can make improvements amount of exercises and treatments you can use to help develop or maintain a healthy posture, but for simplicity sake there are only three things to remember. First you need soft tissue work. Soft tissue is your muscle and the most effective way to see change is via a massage therapist. Your muscles are enclosed in a thin sheath of fibrous tissue called fascia. During a massage, the therapist spends time breaking up this fascia as well as releasing muscle spasms. This allows the muscles to stretch, move, and contract freely. Second, now that the muscles can move freely, it is time to stretch them. The idea is to open and raise the muscles in your chest and shoulders in a manner that will stretch them out. Finally, the last step is to strengthen the muscles that run along the posterior chain such as the glutes, erector spinea, rhomboids, and posterior deltoids. These are the muscles that hold the chest and shoulders up and open. Exercises such as a row where you are sitting up tall, squeezing the shoulder blades together as you pull the resistance toward the body, is a great way to build strength in these key muscles. Without good posture, your overall health and total efficiency may be compromised. The long-term effects of poor posture can negatively affect bodily systems and the body’s ability to function efficiently, effectively, and without injury. Please speak to one of our professionals at the fitness center about how to properly address your posture. There is a good chance that your posture is not where it should be and you may not even realize it. We are always available to offer you a quick evaluation that can determine if you need to correct or simply maintain your current level of posture.

Salt Marshes

One of the Most Productive Contributors to our Ecosystem The salt marsh habitat is characterized by salt tolerant trees, sea grasses and other plants that have adapted to the continual effect of the ebb and flow of tides. Salt marshesThe exist where ocean waOkatie River ter flows between the mainland and outer sea or barrier islands. South Carolina has more salt marsh than any other state in the nation, and Beaufort County has the greatest share of salt marsh in the state. The tide is the heartbeat of a salt marsh. The salt marsh and tidal creeks flood and drain twice daily with the rise and fall of the tide. Influenced by the moon, the difference between high and low tide changes on a daily basis. When the moon is full, or new, we see a height differential of 10 or more feet. Commonly called a spring tide, it has nothing to do with the season. As the moon moves through its cycle and we see a half moon in the sky, the difference between high and low averages about 5 feet. This is called a neap tide.

The salt marsh is one of the most productive ecosystems in nature. The incoming tide brings nutrient enriched water over the marsh to nourish a multitude of animals, large and small. In return, an enormous amount of decaying vegetation and decomposing animals (mostly microscopic) are flushed out to sea. Because of the abundance of food, the salt marsh is an important nursery habitat for a variety of fish and crustaceans, a feeding and nesting site for waterfowl and shorebirds, and a habitat for many unique plants and animals. Guided 2 hour nature kayak tours are scheduled every Monday 9-11am and Friday 3-5pm. Led by Captain Eric Burns, a trained interpretive naturalist, they are enjoyable and informative. Remember to dress in layers and bring along your binoculars. Contact your concierge to schedule a tour.
