TREASURER’S 1ST QUARTER REPORT:

Dear La Cumbre Members,

In my first note as Treasurer, I want to thank Henning for his leadership in 2022 and outline the status and challenges we face in 2023

La Cumbre has two sources of operating income: Dues and members' expenditures in any part of the Club. During 2022, the Club spent $514,000 more than it earned in dues and operating income. In addition, $521,000 of regular maintenance 'capital' was required. This resulted in an operating deficit in 2022 of $1,065,000 (2021 $1,050,000). This operating deficit was funded through income received from initiation and transfer fees.

Fortunately, we had another exceptional year with new members joining the Club, earning $2.7MM. La Cumbre, therefore, ends the year in a reasonable financial state, with $3MM in cash. However, the capital income from sales of memberships is extremely variable, from a low of $850,000 in 2011 to $2 9MM in 2021 Historically, over the past 15 years, income from this source has averaged in the low 1MM per annum Relying on variable capital income to supplement operating expenses is unreliable and risky.

The finance committee's work last year created a long-range rolling 10-year plan but clearly focused on the need to fund the maintenance and enhancement work across the campus over the next six years. This plan predicted future cash flows to meet the different project budgeted expenditure amounts and timelines.

The plan was predicated on the need to use the variable capital income from the initiation and transfer fees for enhancing the campus and not subsidizing operations This was a vital input in deciding the amount of the capital assessment

(dues income + operating income) – (operating expense + maintenance of facilities and sport venues) = 0

(variable capital income) + (assessment) = enhancements to the campus and is fully allocated for the next 6 to 7 years.

The increase in dues income for 2023 was approximately 12% for each member. This translates to an actual increase in dues income of 10.6% (we budget slightly below full membership levels).

Inflation during 2022 absorbed most, if not all, of that dues increase. Therefore, 2023 presents two challenges; firstly, absorbing the relentless, albeit slowing, increase in costs and, secondly, meeting the challenge of balancing the budget

We have taken the following immediate steps, with more to follow:

1) Working with department heads on expense management, essentially as follows; a) the same experience for members at a lower cost, b) an enhanced experience at the same cost, or c) a new opportunity for additional income on which we would do a cost-benefit, which includes a value judgement on enhanced experience for members.

2) We have increased prices on the menu of all drinks and food. We subsidize F & B at a very considerable level - inflation in all input costs has been extraordinary (eggs 32%, fats and oil 18%, poultry 15%, other protein 14%, dairy 12% etc.) *USDA Furthermore, the recent increase on the menu prices lags these increases in input costs. While inflation is expected to moderate slightly in the first half of 2023, we will continue to monitor food input costs and act if necessary.

3) Introduced a Purchase Order approval process that requires various approval, depending on value, from management and the Board before expenditure is committed to

4) Cancelled the wide use of a corporate credit card.

5) We have increased the controls and processes in the Wine store.

6) Going forward, all member purchases will require the receipt to be signed. This will tighten the billing process for individual member's accounts.

7) For general purchasing of maintenance and office supplies, we have joined two Coops where it is anticipated (based on a comparison basket) to reduce our costs by between 20% to 35% on those items.

8) Engaging F&B consultants to work with our two kitchens and service staff to further streamline service, provide a competitive purchasing process, improve operations, provide technology and training, increase service synergy, add to the consistency of delivery, and reduce food waste. They will provide kitchen design input for the renovation project. This is anticipated to have immediate 2023 expense benefit, while establishing best practices in a critical part of the Club.

These early steps are essential to bringing the operating expenses that we can control in line with income The real effort is cutting the excess and focusing on obtaining value for every single dollar spent

However, as we only have two sources of operating income, a very important element of fiscal management is to ensure that the Club is meeting or exceeding members' expectations and this is best judged by the usage of the facilities by members. Simply cutting expenses will not achieve the satisfaction or enjoyment we want as members of La Cumbre. Growing operating income is just as financially valuable, and, personally, I think buying a case of wine from the wine shop, enjoying dinner, attending an event, or even buying golf balls that are inevitably deposited in the (now amazing) lake is more pleasurable than paying dues.

All management teams and departments are being challenged to create new or invigorate existing events. And while we await the new refreshed clubhouse and campus facilities, there is much we can do to increase usage and enjoyment at the Club The Club management teams, House, and Social committee are on this, but would welcome all ideas!

Finally, the work on the four projects (in completion order), the Patio Bar and Grill Kitchen renovation and enlarged Bar; the refreshing of our Tennis facility surfacing and extending the Tennis and Pickleball courts; the major Clubhouse renovation, and the Golf Course maintenance and renovation projects are all progressing and developing well. Commencing at the end of February, I will regularly report on the financial aspect of each of them and the project in its entirety.

With Kindest Regards,

Alan Harden

Dear La Cumbre Members:

From Wayne Mills

After some terrific golfing weather during the holidays, we are into a new year, and it seems into a much-needed wet pattern. So I thought I would go over some maintenance items that come up this time of year and answer some questions about how we manage course play.

Carts or no carts after the rain? We look and think about how much mud tracking we'll get from the carts and if there will be any physical damage to the turf areas in play. We then look at the forecasted weather, and if there's a rain front coming through in the next day or two, we'll be a little more aggressive in getting carts out as the mud tracks will get washed away with the new rain

If there's no rain forecasted, we usually hold off longer, so we don't have a lot of unsightly mud tracking. Our goal is to have the property looking and playing as well as it can for all members.

We will close the course if the greens have standing water because of excessive foot tracking and ball marks. Additionally, if the bunkers have a lot of washouts and standing water, that's another reason to close the golf course for playing.

We really do want to get all members out to play golf as much as possible, but by restricting play at certain times, it makes the playing conditions better for all members So it's a balance we consider every day

Your Green Committee is off to a good start and as Wayne detailed in his report we are pleased that we will have water in our lake this year. After a significant amount of course improvements last year, 2023 will be centered around planning soenjoyayearofgolfwithfewcourseinterruptions.Atopicthat was widely discussed at our January Green Committee meeting was course maintenance by our members. We experiencing far toomanyunrepairedballmarks,unfilleddivotsandpoorlyraked sand traps. We realize that the large majority of our members are conscientious and care for our course properly, but these issues seem to be occurring more than ever. Please remind your fellow players to repair their divots and ball marks and rake the sand traps properly so the group following has a good experience. We are privileged to have such a wonderful golf course to play so lets help Wayne’s team maintain it to the level itdeserves.

"Missing Missy"

The Niners will sorely miss Missy She who is transferring her membership t son and daughter-in-law Missy is a President and Past-Treasurer of The N and has always been known for her fri welcoming, and cheerful perso throughout her long association with group. We hope she will return as a gu often as possible!

There will be six Nine & Dines and two tournaments in 2023 Dates for these e can be found on the website, so please check them out and mark your calendars! Jill Winchester is responsible for the Nine & Dines, and separate committees organize the two Niner tournaments. Allie Banyattrakoonpan, Robin Van Buren, and Marianne Carter will be in charge of the Spring Tournament held on May 12th. Candy Short, Carol Fell, and Danielle McCaffery will chair the Holiday Tournament on December 1st

The New Year also starts a new Ringer Board located in the Women's locker room and will be maintained by Claudia Thorsen. The Ringer Game is a way to track improved scores on each hole throughout the year. Posting of scores will begin on the first Friday of February, but you can post your scores anytime after that if you play with another Niner Scorecards must be signed, dated, and attested to by your playing partner and left in the green Ringer Game Folder next to the Ringer Board. Instructions for the game and posting scores are also there, along with the board, and at the end of the year, prizes will be given for the two most improved and the two lowest scores. Any questions can be addressed to Claudia Thorsen at clamoral@mac.com. It's a fun way to track your scores and see how much you are (or are not!) improving!

The first Nine and Dine of 2023 will be a Super Bowl theme, held on Sunday, February 5th, with a shotgun start at 2:30 PM. Players are encouraged to wear their favorite football or sports attire or their favorite team's colors. Pom-poms are good too! See you there!

HITTINGBOMBS

The Secret is in the Setup

Drive for show; putt for dough! We have all heard the saying, and most still believe it Unfortunately, the data has been collected, and hitting it longer off the tee is one of the most important factors in shooting lower scores We all love the wow factor of pounding a drive past your friends, but with the strokes-gained statistics that the PGA Tour and Arccos use to analyze millions of golf shots, the picture is crystal clear. Longer drives equal shorter approach shots, and shorter approach shots result in shots that finish closer to the hole. Consequently, golfers that hit their drives farther shoot lower scores. Now that we know that driving isn’t just for show, how do we set up to bomb it off the tee?

When we compare elite golfers to the average golfer, there is almost always one glaring difference: the width of the stance. Elite golfers have a much wider driver stance than their average counterparts, and this difference plays a significant role in how elite players generate speed and deliver the club with optimal dynamics

But how would a wider stance help you generate more speed? The simple answer is that your brain doesn’t want you to fall over and miss the ball. Your brain slows your swing down if you start to lose your balance, so a wider stance allows you to stay balanced when the driver is swinging around you at higher speeds. The wider stance will also move your head more behind the ball, which will lead to the driver hitting the ball more on the upswing.

The average golfer sets up with a stance that is slightly wider than shoulder width, but elite golfers’ stances are noticeably wider than shoulder width

To create a wider stance at address, take your normal stance with the ball in line with your front heel and simply move your rear foot farther away from your front foot. For most golfers, you need to move your rear foot about 6 inches farther away. With your new elite driver stance, you’re ready to bomb it. Grip it and rip it!

Update from Tennis

Love is in the air and on our minds this month. First, celebrating those most important to us, but second, as it relates to the sport we all love to watch and play We've loved watching the Australian Open, especially watching all the rising American stars who have had impressive results. Three of the eight quarterfinalists were from the U.S., showing the world that American tennis is back on the map. Seeing all the young new players in the draw makes us even more excited to get out on the court and for junior tennis this spring.

January, we focused on the future state of La Cumbre Tennis and Pickleball and want to extend a heartfelt Thank You to all that came to our focus groups to provide feedback. The comments were invaluable, and we look forward to partnering with the board to incorporate this feedback into the final plan. Stay tuned for more updates.

Mental toughness tip from Coach Aaron

Let's say you miss a forehand down the line wide. Instead of getting upset about it, try looking at it as data. Just know you hit the forehand. That means you were a little late on the contact and need to hit it more in front. Don't go into complaining mode and get all upset. As tennis players, we need to look at our errors as just data and use the data to help correct our mistakes Keep a positive perspective about our errors and learn to move on. An error in the net is much worse than a wide or long error. It is essential to keep a positive mindset when it comes to mistakes.

SCORECARD

A very wet January led to many rain-outs this month, but despite the rain and inconsistent practice, our teams have performed remarkably well. The A team won 3-1 at home against Pierpont A. The ladies competed well and were close to sweeping until an unlucky injury forced the line 2 team to retire after being up a set and a break The winning teams were Erica Downing/Chelsea Sheffey, Susan Vasquez/Cynthia Frohling, and Jeppe Madsen/Susan McMillan.

The A2 ladies are sitting 3 points clear at the top of the log after a dominant performance against Montecito/Birnam wood, winning 40 Daisy Carlson/Nanette Giordano, Dawn Bokman/ Donna Econn won at lines 1 and 2 Lines 3 & 4 were defaulted

The B team lost to SBTC 1-3 at home, with their win coming from Lauren Katz and Felisa Manion. Next up was Knowlwood B in a tight encounter. Felisa Manion/Lauren Brennan and Peggy Lamb/Carol Wilson were able to win their lines ending the match in a 2-2 tie. The B's are now in 4th place and look to improve their standing in the next couple of matches

The C team remained undefeated, winning at Bacara 3-1 on the clay. This was very impressive to win, with the team showing great depth. Wins came from Beth Magid/Karen Gray, Leslie Sneiderman/Winnie Dunbar; the last win was by default. We are now 6 points clear at the top of the table

The newly formed 8.0 LC mixed team beat SBTC 2-1. It was a nice start for the team, with wins coming from Mike, Chelsea Sheffey, Lloyd, and Karen Suzuki. Special thanks to Sheri and Jim Copus for captaining the team.

TENNISFOCUSGROUPS

Last month, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, approximately 50 - 60 active users of our tennis courts engaged in discussion groups about the maintenance and usage of the Club's Tennis Courts. Each evening about 15-20 vocal members shared their candid perspectives on a range of issues impacting their experience as active members and users of our tennis facilities Our members were self-described as 49% tennis only, 28% pickleball only, and 23% both tennis and pickleball

These discussions aimed to flush out the primary concerns that cause frustrations and see if we can build a reasonable plan to solve some of the current usage challenges and maintenance issues. We believe, we all better understand the current state and will move forward with a clearer path.

The number one issue across all the groups was the availability of courts during peak usage. At certain peak times, it's clear we have more demand for our courts than supply. The number two concern expressed by the discussion groups was the general maintenance or deferred maintenance of our facility The balance of the stated concerns tends to center around these two issues.

The concerns from the three focus groups were very similar. A brief summary of the concerns is below:

Court Availability

During peak usage, we simply do not have enough supply of courts to meet demand. During the remainder of the day, we are mostly in balance. Availability of the courts, when you want them, seems to be the biggest concern. Lack of availability of courts magnifies the concerns between our Tennis players and Pickleball players. Possible solutions discussed included: Having a staff member, "gatekeeper," or "greeter" during peak morning hours to check people in, assign courts, and regulate the duration the groups have been on the court. Exploring the strengths and weakness of paper (our current system) vs. digital calendaring (reservation system) of courts or perhaps a hybrid system.

HowtoaccommodatethedemandforthegrowthofTennisandPickleball?

It was clear we needed to come up with a plan to accommodate the growth of both tennis and pickleball Our members were very candid that our six courts are stressed during peak times by the current demand and to enhance one sport over the other feels like a "zero-sum gain" "you win, I lose, I win, you lose" outcome. Short of building more capacity, it appears we all may be dissatisfied.

So,whataresomepossiblesolutionsdiscussed?

The most obvious solution is to build additional capacity. To this point, we are actively engaging in the process to understand what alternatives are possible on our property As recently as this past Friday, our land surveyor confirmed property lines, and our civil engineer, architect, and contractor were on site for what could be a new court #7 directly behind court #6. There currently are equal reasons for optimism as well as pessimism in creating court #7. All other potential sites are being considered more information to follow in the coming weeks.

Whatisbeingconsideredforourcourts?Whatisthecurrentstatus?

Our concrete courts were built approximately 50 years ago and resurfaced about 16 years ago with a Plexicushion coating to ease the stress on our legs and hips and to provide a softer bounce. This surface is used on all professional courts and is currently played on at the Australian Open. Court #3 is experiencing severe cracking and bubbling. After consulting with experts, they have provided feedback that there are issues with the slab beneath the playing surface. In addition, the court #2 slab has moved and sunk. The north side of the court is now two inches higher than the south side. We are also seeing similar issues starting across other courts. Both the concrete and the coating are at their useful life. We have explored several solutions, and in fact, our prior G M was progressing with a short-term solution that we have put on pause

It appears the long-term, high-quality solution is to float a new post-tension concrete over our existing courts. At the same time or potentially at a later date, we could float the layering cushion, "plexicushion," over the concrete. Then we would repaint and restripe the courts, purchase fresh netting, enhance our fencing, and make other small improvements.

According to our contractors, the best time to perform concrete work is when our evenings become cooler. So, November through February seem to be the best months. This work may take up to 10-12 weeks to complete If we go forward with that plan, we will do our best to make arrangements for reciprocal play and scheduling of tournament play at other tennis facilities in town.

Lights

In the short-term program that was being considered, additional lighting was a high value in our three evening discussions. The general consensus was that it might be nice but not a must-have. Since there always is a cost–benefit concern, other elements of the courts were stated as more important.

Food&BeverageService

Our members expressed a desire to have coffee available at the Tennis Shop and, in fact, a machine has already been ordered. Others were generally excited to have a few healthy offerings in the self–serve honor refrigerator recently located inside the Shop. In addition, everyone is reminded that food and beverage service is available from the Patio Bar and Grill and can be delivered to our tennis patio area.

What'snext?

A number of simple, inexpensive operational ideas were expressed, and we will initiate these enhancements immediately. With regard to the larger issues, the Board and management now have a much better sense of what Members want, and we will do our best to develop plans that reflect those wishes. As plans start to firm up, we will continue to engage you for your feedback and preferences

Thank you!

MOTIVATION MINDSET

Many conversations I have been having lately have been focused on motivation, how to get it, where to find it, and how to maintain it. It seems like a tough question, but the answer is quite simple. Motivation isn’t going to show up for you one day; instead, it will manifest itself through your daily efforts. Most of us think motivation leads us to action, action leads us to results, and results lead to more motivation It is the other way around Taking action leads to results, results lead to motivation, and that motivation then leads to more action. The awesome part about the action is that it can be as simple as a fiveminute walk, drinking an extra glass of water, or even eating a piece of fruit. Whatever it is, that small action will make you feel better (a result). That result will get you more motivated to take more action, and that will lead to more results. That cycle will continue until the small action is no longer small, and the motivation is just there! Once you have mastered the habit of taking action, everything else in life seems to become infinitely easier So, remember, YOU GOT THIS, and get up and take action, no matter how small it may be!

FelixZaragoza

La Cumbre Country Club is pleased to announce that Felix Zaragoza has been named Employee of the Year for his outstanding performance

Felix began working for the Club in 1980. His first job was in the lake, cutting tules with a machete a similar technique to primitive sugar cane harvesting. The lake back then was tules bank to bank; only slots were cleared for golf shots.

Felix worked for John Garcia, the first superintendent after the Club reopened in the 50s. He has worked for all three superintendents the Club has had since then.

EMPLOYEE ANNIVERSARIES

Jacob Alvarado 1 yr Lead Outside Services

In 2001 Wayne Mills came on board and recognized Felix's dedication and commitment to getting the job done. No matter what the task was, Felix could do it Felix was promoted to Assistant Superintendent, which he has held for 20+ years

One of Wayne's favorite sayings is, "You are only as good as the people that work for you." Felix exemplifies that meaning. He has a "nononsense, get in and get it done" attitude daily. The Club and Wayne are very lucky to have Felix Zaragoza at La Cumbre Country Club.
