FROM THE KITCHEN A MESSAGE FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE CHEF
I hardly know where to begin. During my first 30 days at Old North State Club, the Membership has welcomed me with kindness and enthusiasm unlike anything I’ve experienced before. I want to sincerely thank each of you for making me feel so at home your warmth and support mean more than you can imagine
We started strong, hosting two major events within my first two weeks Now, our attention is turning toward elevating your dining experience New menus are on the way or may already be in your hands by the time you read this and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
We’re introducing an all-day bar menu, and the kitchen will no longer close from 4:00 to 5:00 PM for dinner prep, allowing for continuous service throughout the day. Both our lunch and dinner menus have been completely reimagined to bring fresh flavors, seasonal ingredients, and the kind of Southern-inspired comfort that makes dining at ONSC truly special

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR COURSE SUPERINTENDENT
Question: Is it really necessary for dormant TifEagle greens to be frost-free before play starts?
Answer: YES!
Frost is essentially frozen dew Ice crystals visible on the outside of the plant can also form on the inside of grass blades The grass plant, normally resilient to footsteps, becomes brittle and fragile when ice crystals form. Under the pressure of traffic, ice crystals puncture plant tissues and rupture plant cells, which destroys the leaf blade. Damage will not appear right away, but it will show up in footstep tracks in the following days as the plant is unable to repair itself and begins to die
Frost damage can occur on any turfgrass, including dormant bermuda, mowed at any height, but it is amplified the lower the height of cut Keep in mind, a foursome typically takes several hundred footsteps on each green, so even allowing just a few groups to play when frost is present can be very damaging to the greens and the rest of the golf course, for that matter.
It is not completely understood when frost will cause damage, so the decision to keep traffic off the golf course must be made conservatively for its protection
Best Regards, Chris Chapman Golf Course Superintendent
See you soon!

FRANKIE’S FITNESS CORNER
Consistency is the true driver of transformation when it comes to our health, especially as we age. Our bodies are designed to move, adapt, and grow stronger with regular use but they also decline quickly with inactivity When we commit to moving our bodies consistently, even through small daily habits, we activate powerful biological mechanisms that support longevity, muscle preservation, hormone balance, and metabolic health It’s not about pushing to the extreme or achieving a “perfect” routine it’s about showing up regularly and allowing the compound effect of those efforts to work in our favor Every walk, every lift, every stretch sends a message to the body: stay strong, stay functional, stay youthful. Over time, this consistency builds resilience, increases energy, and supports healthy aging in a way no quick-fix or sporadic effort ever can
It’s important to remember that progress not perfection is what leads to sustainable success Perfection creates pressure, but consistency creates momentum When we focus on just getting a little better each day, we allow ourselves to celebrate wins and build confidence. Hormones, muscle tissue, and even our mindset respond positively to this steady approach Especially as we age, consistency in movement helps protect bone density, preserve muscle mass, combat insulin resistance, and increase mobility all key factors in maintaining independence and vitality The goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to be persistent Because the more consistently we move, the more our bodies reward us with strength, clarity, and longevity
A great way to stay consistent and also have fun, is to come to one of our fitness classes here at ONSC. We offer Strength & Stretch and now a "Core & Floor" class starting in November These classes are great for every fitness level Come and check out a class The first class is always free.
