MANAGER'S MESSAGE

DEAR PROVIDENCE MEMBERS, I hope this communication finds you and your family doing well in this brave new world.

Good times will resume as we accept and continue to explore our new ways of celebrating in our community. Our wonderful pool complex will open, swim season will come, restaurants and bars will re-open, Tennis and Fitness facilities will come back to life, and however, there will be changes and variations. We may not yet know but the key to me is positivity and accepting the unfamiliar.

Your Providence team of amazing employees fully accepts our role as leaders in our community. One of the suggested tools for emotionally getting through this pandemic, is to do something to help someone else. Well, our team takes that concept to a whole different level. We are actively planning, creative and entertaining events and activities for the upcoming season. Life has a way of moving forward and we all want to be part of this recovery!

Down the road, when you reflect on this time in your life, what headlines will you choose to describe yourself? Doom and gloom, arrogance and denial or positive and supportive with a glass half FULL of gratitude?

On that note, I am privileged to be part of this great team with a job in the BEST Club in a great MCG company. Providence is not just a place to me, the word alone drew me to this club just 10 short years ago and I have found gratitude in every day since.

Again, we take our profession and responsibilities at Providence very seriously. We wish to nurture a culture of genuine respect and true hospitality. We would not have had any success over the past few months without our outstanding PCC Members. We cannot thank you enough for your understanding, encouragement and support.

DEAR MEMBERS, I first want to thank each and every Member that has supported the club throughout these uncertain and stressful months we have all just lived through. Your kind words and inspiring emails have truly meant more than you know to our Team. Your usage of our Curbside ToGo program has been nothing short of astonishing and have not only helped us keep some of our associates employed but also helped support our local community.

I am proud to announce our newest addition to our Hospitality Team, Carmen Ganoe. Carmen comes to us from the BBI Restaurant Concepts Group where he was the Managing Partner at the Bonefish in Pineville for several years. He has numerous accolades throughout his hospitality career and we are proud to have him at our property.

With the beautiful weather upon us we are excited to get back to our Member Events and outdoor activities. We are excited to give the PCC Concert Series another try. If this is truly an event you would like us to continue to do please come out and support it.

Sincerely, STEVE WINDHAM Clubhouse Manager

We remain passionately dedicated to our Providence community, “One day at a time!�

Sincerely, HOWARD S. MURPHY, JR. CCM Corporate Director of Culinary Operations Providence Country Club General Manager

DUE TO THE COVID 19 AND THE TIME OF PRINT THAT EVENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, WATCH YOUR WEEKLY CLUB COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE LATEST AND MOST UPDATED INFORMATION.

MEMBERSHIP

We Miss You!

PLEASE WELCOME BACK

As I sit at home writing this message to the membership, I truly hope that by the time you read this we will be back to ‘normal’ life. These past few weeks/months have been so surreal and while I’m grateful for so many things it’s still hard to make the adjustment to all the distance… socially, emotionally, physically. The amount of gratitude I have to all those brave warriors putting themselves at risk to provide ‘essential’ services to the rest of us is overwhelming. They all deserve raises, vacations and hugs once it is safe to give them again!

The team at PCC promises to make this summer one you’ll never forget! I can’t wait to see all of you back at the club soaking it all in and enjoying precious time with family and friends. Until then … be safe, be kind and hang in there!

GOLF FORE ALL 2020 PROVIDENCE COUNTRY CLUB TOURNAMENT AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE At this time the Professional Staff is reviewing the competition calendar and will update it as we begin to see some daylight from the virus. Please let us know if you have any questions about the calendar. Looking forward to seeing you all compete in the near future.

FROM THE LINKS The game of golf is a tremendous escape from the harsh realities brought upon by the Coronavirus. The Professional Staff is glad we’ve been able to see so many of you play golf during these unprecedented times. Many unfortunate situations have arose since the first mandates set forth by the CDC, Mecklenburg County, and McConnell Golf, but we’ve been able to continue offering a safe haven for you and your families. With sincere thanks we appreciate all of you who continue to support golf at this time. Let’s hope by the time you are reading this that most activities are beginning to be returning to some sense of normalcy.

We hope to see you all around the Club in the very near future.

All the best, KEVIN REARDON, PGA PGA Director of Golf

! g n i r p S SOCIAL DISTANCING IS NOW A NEW NORMAL Staying 6 feet away from friends is always tough, especially when you just took them for $20 after pressing headed to the 18th hole. The best way to continue the practice of social distancing during this time is to work on your short game. Everyday all spaces at the range are full….The short game facility remains empty! I can assure you that putting, chipping, and working on short shots will keep you from having to press on the 18th tee….In fact, your opponent may be paying you double if your short game is sharp! Come visit the Golf Pro’s for a tip of the week….SHORT GAME only tips though.

THE PROVIDENCE PRESS

Spring is the reason for the shopping season. Given the recent circumstances, shopping has looked a tad different to the average consumer. Like most brick and mortar stores, the Providence Golf shop is trying to stay ahead of the curve and offer a new online shopping experience for members while offering weekly deals. Until the golf shop is back open and fully operational, we would like to offer a sale to the entire membership. 30% off (the retail price) any one apparel item from the golf shop. The door may be locked but we offer curb-side pick-up Tuesday through Sunday. All you have to do is call the golf shop or email a Pro with your selection.

GREENS AND GROUNDS

CHAMPION BERMUDA GRASS I wanted to share again what our cultural practices for Champion Bermuda grass maintenance. Champion Bermuda greens require some type of cultural practice weekly. Those cultural practice may include: topdressing with light rate of sand weekly and lightly verticutting the greens weekly. We will be performing these cultural practices on Monday’s. The sand will be slightly visible on Tuesdays, by Thursday the sand will have worked into the canopy. The reasons for top dressing: 1. Increasing thatch decomposition.

2. Truing and smoothing of the playing surface. 3. Help to reduce grain. 4. Enhancing turf recovery from injury. 5. Encouraging a denser and finer-textured turf surface.

A vertical mower is a powered unit with a series of knives vertically mounted on a horizontal shaft. The shaft rotates at high speeds and the blades slice rip into the turf and rip out thatch and other debris. Our weekly verti cutting mowing will be set to a depth of .125-.250 depending on what we think the depth needs that particular week. We will be incorporating rolling more often into our maintenance schedule. Our goal is to provide a firm, smooth and true putting surface.

June 15th – June 18th the course will be closed. This is our schedule aerification of greens, tees and fairways. This is a necessary cultural practice to ensure good playing conditions along with good turf quality. The benefits of aerification: 1. Relives surface and subsurface soil compaction. 2. Allows for penetration of oxygen into the soil for plant roots. 3. Allows for atmospheric release of toxic gasses, from the rootzone, minimizing the occurrence of black layer. 4. Improves surface drainage to help dry out saturated soils and prevent formation of puddles. Improves penetration of water into dry soils 5. This practice encourages organic matter/mat/thatch control by stimulating those environmental conditions that promote healthy soil microorganism activity that naturally decomposes the components attributing to thatch development.

This has been a very different spring compared to years past, this Covid 19 has been something to me that is surreal. We have had to make adjustments and social distancing is the new norm. I know the great researchers and drug companies will have a vaccine in a timely fashion. We will all have learned something about ourselves during this very unnerving Covid 19. Hopefully what we learned will make us all a better person.

Please stay well and safe!

See you out on the course, CHRIS PARHAM Golf Course Superintendent

Working in hospitality means our employees love to serve and connect with people. In these times, our staff misses these interactions dearly. The support we've received from the membership however, has been overwhelming. We just wanted to say, "Thank you." Thank you for every round of golf. Every togo order. Every email, comment, like and share. We could not do what we love to do without you, and if anything, these trying times underscore the value of community. We are so very proud to serve you, and to have built a network of clubs with your support that sustains us all in good times and bad.

TENNIS MIXED DOUBLES SOCIAL Sunday, May 17 I 1:30pm-3:30pm

Bring out your better half, or find someone to pair up with for this mixed doubles event. We will be playing round robin tennis with some drinks and snacks out during play. Please sign up online for this event!!

FROM THE BASELINE I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. I really appreciate everyone’s support and generosity during these unprecedented times. I know many of you are frustrated that we have not been able to play tennis for a little while, but thank you all for understanding that member and staff safety are our first priority. I know that we will all come out of this stronger as we look for the silver lining during these trying times. For me it has been getting to spend more quality time with my wife and kids and seeing them grow while learning at home. It has also been nice taking a step back, slowing down a bit and appreciating all that we have. This has without a doubt put things in to perspective for me, and I look forward to things getting back to normal, but holding on to some of the things that I learned through these times.With all of that being said, I am really looking forward to when we can all get back on the courts, and we have a lot of great events lined up for May and June!!! I know many of you will be eager to get back out, so please join us for some great tennis coming up over the next couple of months!

CATERING AND EVENTS DEE WOOD 1. What are you currently reading? Does listening count? I have quite an obsession with audiobooks.

My most recent favorite was The Nightengale by Kristin Hannah and most anything by Jodi Picoult.

In my spare moments, I grab Untangled by Lisa Damour to help me better understand my two preteen daughters.

2. What’s your most embarrassing moment at work? At one of my first events, I grabbed a tray of bottled beers to pass at the cocktail hour in the courtyard. Little did I know, there’s an art to that—a skill I did not yet possess. As I stepped outside headed towards the party, as if in slow motion, each of the beers tipped over the edge of my tray, crashing one by one onto the bricks below. Nothing to do but watch it happen, and then take a bow to which the guests responded with applause. Ouch.

KENDALL LAW

NEW FACES FOR PCC CATERING AND EVENTS Please welcome two new faces to our catering team, Dee Wood and Kendall Law. Dee, our new Director of Catering and Events, joined us in February, most recently from The Ballantyne. Does she look a bit familiar? She should!

She served as our catering director from 2006 to 2008 and is thrilled to be back. Kendall, our new Event Manager, also has a familiar face as she joined us a year ago as an intern during her senior year at Western Carolina University and just recently became a full-time team member. Both of these ladies thrive on relationships, possess a passion for people and a drive to execute flawless and streamlined events.

1. One thing I cannot live without is coffee. In fact this is something Dee and I share in common. My favorite is a classic vanilla iced latte from Starbucks.

However, if I don't feel like making the trip to Starbucks I will always use my keurig and hazelnut creamer. I love starting every morning with coffee time with Dee. 2. I would love to meet and have lunch with Walt Disney. He was always an inspiration to me since we are both dyslexic. I looked up to him because he was so creative and passionate. I think it would be super interesting to have lunch with him and learn about his story.

One thing’s for sure—these ladies are ready for a celebration. Whether you are planning a Wedding, Wedding Reception, Birthday, Retirement Dinner, Baby Shower, or Corporate Meeting, Dee and Kendall are your go-to team. Needless to say, they’re looking forward to having the Clubhouse open again. What better time to celebrate!
