Cookies of the Month

MARCH COOKIE OF THE MONTH: HEATH BAR COOKIE

APRIL COOKIE OF THE MONTH

Growing up my great grandmother would always hand out Heath Bars for the holidays. That and a five dollar bill for every birthday, Christmas and even Easter card she would hand out. She has been gone for a few years now, but anytime I have a Heath Bar I think of her. This cookie is a delicious balance of cookie dough and crunch.

Enjoy!

Ron Gordils is the Executive Chef at Old North State Club.

Ingredients 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter ¾ cup Brown Sugar ¾ cup Granulated Sugar 2 Eggs 1 teaspoon Vanilla 1½ cups Chopped Heath Bar pieces (8, 1.4 ounce bars) ½ cup Chopped Walnuts Directions Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine Heath Bar pieces and chopped walnuts. Set aside.

Whisk butter, sugars, vanilla, then add eggs: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown and white sugars, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

Make and chill dough: Add the flour mixture a third at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the Heath bar walnut mixture.

Chill cookie dough for at least 30 minutes - better an hour or longer. Spoon out dough balls onto a cookie sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F. On cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat, spoon out the cookie dough in small 1-inch diameter balls (size of a large marble). Leave ample space because they do spread.

Bake: Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

MCCONNELL GOLF, THE MAGAZINE

MCCONNELL GOLF COMPANY MEETING

With March comes spring and a fresh issue of McConnell Golf, The Magazine. We hope you enjoy catching up with your sister properties and perhaps gain some inspiration for the upcoming season on the course, on the courts and at the pool. Next up, the Wyndham Championship edition will publish in July ahead of the tournament and carry us through the remainder of the year. Within, we’ll take a look back at JT Poston’s 2019 win and go behind the scenes with the Agronomy team. To join this upcoming publication, advertisers are invited to take part for a little as $150! For the best ad placement options and business directory listings, we encourage you to contact Lauren Thedieck this month at lthedieck@mcconnellgolf.com. Thank you to all of our member advertisers for your support and for trusting us in your marketing efforts and promotion of your companies!

Sedgefield Country Club hosted yet another successful annual meeting for McConnell Golf! “Building Clubs of the Future” requires constant innovation and development. Every day there is an opportunity to make a difference and we’re excited about what 2020 has to offer!

MCCONNELL SIGNATURE BLEND We are excited to announce the release of our newest McConnell Golf blend this spring!

Comprised of four barrels of Juslyn’s best Spring Mountain wines, the McConnell ‘Members’ Signature Blend’ combines 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot, conveying all of the noble traits that make Spring Mountain so desired - a dense core of fruit, savory spices, chocolate mint and sweet mulberries. The wine was kept in-barrel for 36 months and the 2016 vintage is absolutely gorgeous. It promises another 10-12 years of enjoyment.

Bottled and Produced by Juslyn Vineyards Limited Edition: 100 cases produced Wine Maker: Angelina Mondavi Did You Know? You can enjoy a free, private tasting experience with the owner at the Juslyn Vineyards Estate on Spring Mountain. A minimum one -week advance notice is requested.

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” - Rabindranath Tagore

2020 REX HOSPITAL OPEN

VISIT KNOXVILLE OPEN Holston Hills Country Club Selected as Future Host of Korn Ferry Tour’s Visit Knoxville Open SAVE THE DATE: May 11-17, 2020 The Korn Ferry Tour’s newly named Visit Knoxville Open will move to historic Holston Hills Country Club this May. Formerly the Web.com Tour, the organization has signed a five-year agreement with McConnell Golf.

The Visit Knoxville Open is one of four original tournaments from the Tour’s inaugural 1990 season. With 50 available PGA TOUR cards, the Korn Ferry Tour is the path to the Pros. Over the last 30 years, the event has produced a number of noteworthy champions, including future PGA TOUR winners Jeff Maggert (1990), J.J. Henry (2000), Vaughn Taylor (2003), Chez Reavie (2007), Chris Kirk (2010) and Patton Kizzire (2015), who used his victory to garner Player of the Year honors that season. Other notables to compete include two -time Masters champion Bubba Watson, 13-time PGA TOUR winner David Toms, U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover and PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker.

For more information please visit https://visitknoxopen.com/.

On May 28 – 31, the 33rd REX Hospital Open will take place at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. In 2019, Sebastian Cappelen took home the REX Open trophy, shooting a course record 21under par to win by three shots! Last year’s tournament hosted more than 156 professional golfers from around the world and helped raise money for the new UNC REX Cancer Center.

Have you ever wanted to take part in a professional golf tournament? Well, now’s your chance! The REX Hospital Open is seeking volunteers to assist in executing the area’s premier professional charity golf tournament, part of the Korn Ferry Tour.
