A Note from your General Manager
The text came through around 7am if I recall correctly. It was a Thursday morning. I had just left the gym and was checking my messages as many do
when they have been away from their mobile device for an entire hour, which is an issue in itself that we find it hard to go more than an hour without
being “connected”. But that’s not the moral of this story. This story is about the next fourteen hours of my life, eight of which were spent in a car driving,
and the other six were nothing short of amazing. The text was from a wonderful friend asking if I had found a ticket for the Masters. The answer was “no”
which was followed by another text asking if I could get in the car that morning and drive to Augusta. It took me about 2 seconds to respond and a couple
hours later, Rocky Brooks (who is fortunate enough to receive a complimentary ticket from the PGA of America!) and I had both rearranged our schedules
for the day and headed south. We arrived on the hallowed grounds of Augusta just as Sedgefield’s very own Scott Harvey was hitting his drive from the
9th tee in The Masters. I will never forget the look on Scott’s face after he assessed his second shot from a drive blistered straight down the center of
the fairway. Scott glanced toward the ropes and spotted Rocky first (no surprise there!). He waved and then did a double take, realizing I was there as
well. A huge smile came across his face and it was obvious Scott was much happier to see me than Rocky – at least that’s the way I remember it. Scott
and Rocky may have different recollections! The next nine holes were truly special as we walked with Scott’s gallery. That’s correct….Scott’s gallery,
many of whom were members of Sedgefield, traveled together in a pack around the course, cheering and applauding with pride for our friend. I wondered
if anyone was back at the Club and the next morning when I looked at the golf rounds report for April 9th, which was a beautiful, sunshiny day, the apparent answer was not many! Certainly Scott has reflected on his Masters experience from many different perspectives, but I bet he never considered the
lost revenue at Sedgefield during that week with so many of our members in Augusta supporting him! The saving grace for our club and our company was
the marketing of our brand as everywhere you looked, there was a shirt or hat bearing the logos of Sedgefield Country Club and McConnell Golf. So it
seems you’re off the hook for that lost revenue, Scott!
Now that the dust has settled and Scott has had time to decompress, we are working with him to arrange a celebration at the club with a “Q&A” so watch
for more information as these details are finalized.
What an amazing experience for Scott, his beautiful wife Kim, their adorable son Cameron, and their extended family at Sedgefield. It is always rewarding
to see the camaraderie among our members when they are at their club. Seeing those friends travel to Augusta and line every fairway together in support of their friend and his family gave me an entirely new perspective on the value of membership. You simply cannot put a price tag on the bonds of
friendship.
Cheers to all the fond memories at your club and many, many more to come.

CLUBHOUSE NEWS
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR SALES AND CATERING DIRECTOR
TRAVIS HUDDLESTON
Spring Showers bring May Flowers...or at least that’s the idea anyways! All
these showers sure have made for poor golfing conditions. Hopefully that will
soon turn around and we’ll begin to see those beautiful “Spring Flowers” start
to pop out there on the course. While those rainy days have made for a few
damp holes out on the golf course, it sure hasn't slowed things down in the
clubhouse.
For those of you who were unable to attend our second culinary cook off held
on March 21st, you don’t know what you’re missing. You can’t truly
understand the talent we have here at Sedgefield until you’ve attended this
event. Staff from all different departments teamed up to create a “Signature”
dish they thought would surely knock your socks off! We had five (5) teams
who took this competition to the next level. We had items on the menu ranging from Red Oak beer battered Catfish with purple Peruvian chips, roasted
quail with Manchego cheese, smoked polenta and Carolina bison sliders
topped with cabernet onions and Wisconsin cheese, just to name a few. Ultimately only one (1) team could wind up victorious, but it was a true battle
right down to the end. Team Two (2) consisting of Yacouba Doumbia ~ Ross
Line Cook, Randy Honaker ~ Dye Kitchen Staff, Ben Nihart ~ Fitness
Instructor, and Jen Steszewski ~ Ross Server took home the win. They won
with their signature dish of grilled marinated Hanger Steak paired with Diver
Scallops, creamy risotto and crispy asparagus bites finished with veal demi
and burre vert sauce. If you didn’t get to taste this dish at the cook off don’t
worry, you’ll soon be seeing this item featured on our next dinner menu.
Congrats Team 2!! Look for some of your other favorites from this event
featured throughout the coming months as specials in both the Embassy Grille
and at Greenside Café. You can see the talent of your SCC staff each and
every day by simply dining in the Embassy Grille or attending one of our many
club events.
As the summer heats up so does our event calendar with some great family
friendly events!! Be sure to mark your calendars for our kick off to summer
~ Memorial Day Party at the Greenside Café and pool as well as our bimonthly
Seafood Extravaganza; both events should get you in the mood to celebrate
the summer! Just to spice things up, we’re adding a corn hole tournament at
the Greenside Café. Look for an announcement in your weekly email or simply
call the club to sign up for any of these exciting events.
Need to cool off from the heat of the summer? Tired of those same old
company meetings and family gatherings? Spice things up “Sedgefield Style”
with a refreshing retreat at Sedgefield’s Greenside Café and pool patio. Let
us fire up the grill to offer you a selection of your summer time favorites.
While we man the grill, cool off with a seasonal craft brew from one of our six
(6) rotating taps, and enjoy stunning views of our signature Donald Ross
course while enjoying the crisp summer nights. The summer time is meant to
be spent outdoors, so let us get you out of the house, off the computer and
away from your desk. We’ll take the stress of planning your next event off
your shoulders so you can finally enjoy your summer. Give us a call, it’s never
to late to book your next event at Sedgefield. Ashley and I look forward to
seeing you at one of our two beautiful properties in the coming weeks. If
there is anything we can do to make your next event at Sedgefield more
enjoyable, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Till next time,

Happy Spring to All!
The days have been slowly getting longer, the temperatures have been getting
hotter and we’ve been getting busier and busier. Spring is Hopping and Sedgefield
is Popping! Whether it’s for business or pleasure, it’s always great to see our
members take full advantage of all the amenities Sedgefield has to offer. Spring
fever has certainly hit me! Spring breaks, spring weddings, bright new colors, lots
of sunshine and a breath of fresh air...Let’s just say I am excited that The Café is
slowly getting into the full swing of things, while currently offering a special
limited menu on the weekends. And I promise you this…that Cold Beer tastes
much better when you’re sitting on the Café patio overlooking the 9th Green.
Spring always brings new beginnings, new life and new blossoms. So correct me if
I am wrong, but it’s impossible to think of Spring and not think of the one holiday
so very special to us ~ Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10th! Once again, it’s time to
celebrate and honor all Moms and express gratitude for all of their hard work and
unconditional love. Chef JP and his talented team will be preparing a Grande,
Wondrous, Exquisite Mother’s Day Brunch spread you will not want to miss. Time
is ticking away, so don’t forget to make your reservations as soon as possible.
As the temperatures rise this season, so does our desire to dip ourselves in the
pool to cool off. We can’t forget the kickoff date that marks the Opening of the
Pool Season and that is Memorial Day, Monday, May 25th! And here’s my word of
advice for you: Hold onto your summer hats, because you’re in for a wild ride...It’s
guaranteed to be a fun-filled, excitement-high and action-packed one! This
Memorial Day Cook-Out will be full of family-friendly activities, surprises and
mouthwatering cookout delights! And while you have your calendars out, don’t
forget to mark down Father’s Day, June 21st. What better way to celebrate Dads
everywhere than treating them to Sedgefield’s Famous Steak-Out by the Pool!
Here’s their chance to chow down a big juicy delicious cut of meat complete with
all the fixins’. They Pick’em...We Grill’em!
And last but not least...Lets not forget about the wonderful wine events awaiting
you here at Sedgefield… A special edition of Grape Nuts featuring Todd Anderson,
the owner of Anderson’s Conn Valley vineyards, will be held on Friday, May 22nd.
Seats are limited, so please reserve yours early as you would not want to miss
this thrilling experience to wine and dine with Todd Anderson!
Our Second Wine Indulgence Dinner for the year is now on the Calendar, Saturday,
June 27th! It’s the one we have all been waiting for ...The famous Wagner Family
Wines! We have all noticed the Caymus bottles hovering around the Clubhouse...So
we are now pleased to invite you to an incredible dining experience complimented
by highly admired wines. You wouldn’t want to miss out on this one!
I think I’ve said enough…
And remember...A Little Wine Makes Everything Better!

A NOTE FROM KEITH WOOD—GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT AT SEDGEFIELD ROSS COURSE
I sure am glad we are finally done with the cold of winter and lingering cool dampness associated with the start of this spring. It’s really hard to stay
positive when dealing with such bad weather, especially when all of your efforts have been aimed at making spring a great time to play golf. Nevertheless, the course is here and available although it may not be the prettiest.
The record cold temperatures in February really did a number on the turf on all areas of the golf course. In the past we have seen the winter damage
mainly isolated to the north facing slopes and shaded spots on fairways and greens surrounds. This year, not only did the north facing slopes and shaded
areas get hit hard, but also any area that was under the slightest amount of stress from being too wet or too dry. There was a fine line between survival
and death this winter for bermudagrass.
While we covered the greens exactly to protocol and did everything we were supposed to do, we still sustained a little damage on a few greens. Now that
those areas are really starting to fill in, I’m amazed at how much shade affects the health of our champion bermudagrass greens. I knew that if shade
was going to be an issue, we had better be on our toes and eliminate all other stresses. But when soil temperatures get down to 21 degrees for an extended period, there’s not much we can do.
With that being said, I have officially declared May to be the month of sod. We will be prepping, laying and watering all month to fix the damage. During
this time, we will have to limit cart traffic and mark all sod as ground under repair until it is mown and ready to be played on. This will not only be in the
fairways, but also on the tees, green surrounds and rough as well. As for the greens, the sod seams that we will have to work and play through will disappear after our annual aerification week starting on June 22 nd.
I hope you all can appreciate the effort that our staff gives throughout the year. Success is addictive and we have been fortunate enough to get hooked.
Rest assured, we want to get this course back into peak condition as soon as possible and will need your understanding as we start a long 3 weeks of
repairing the damage.
In closing I want you all to know how much I have appreciated the support and friendship over the years. I’ve learned to love this course and everyone
associated with it. Life isn’t without challenges and there have been many mornings and evenings where the sunrise and sunset over Sedgefield have
energized me to face those challenges. I have faith in the staff and McConnell Golf to continue to push the limits of what can be done to provide you all
with a fantastic course to play every day!
Keith Wood - Ross Course Superintendent
A NOTE FROM DANIEL KNIGHT — GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT AT SEDGEFIELD DYE COURSE
I think we have finally turned the corner to some warmer temperatures. Overall we are still experiencing a cooler than normal spring, especially with the
overnight temps. Pair that with a lot of cloudy days and it makes it difficult for the Bermuda grass to break dormancy. The reason is that this
combination of variables keeps the soil temperatures low and therefore the Bermuda doesn’t think it is time to wake up yet. No one is more frustrated
than me about this situation, but I also feel that we are on the verge of greener grass. We will also begin taking some extra steps to try to push the
grass along, such as venting areas and applying extra nutrients to the soil.
On a more positive note, the greens healed in very nicely from our spring aerification and I think we are setting ourselves up to have them ready for the
summer stress. We are seeing good top growth and the roots are also starting to extend down deeper into the soil. We are starting our foliar spoon
feeding process and fungicide program to defend against stress and disease.
We have also changed a few things in the landscape behind the clubhouse and leading up to the driving range. Even though the changes may seem small,
we feel like it will give these areas a much more pleasing appearance. I am very pleased with the way it turned out, and once the summer color is in
place, it should make it pop.
On a final note, I am torn about Keith leaving Sedgefield. I am sad that he will no longer be right across town to talk to or visit. But I am also very excited
for opportunity to which he is going. At Quail Hollow, not only will he be able to continue to host a tour event, but he will also have the chance to host a
PGA Championship in 2017! I know we will all miss him and Quail Hollow could not have picked a better man. Good Luck Keith, I know you will do great
things there.
See you on the course,

A Note from your Triad Membership Director
“April showers bring May flowers” and “the grass is greening up nicely” are all things you have probably already read if
you have made it this far into the Sedgefield newsletter. While all of these cliché’s are great introductions to all of the
wonderful things happening at our club, I want to break away from the norm and tell a story—I am so excited about the
future of Sedgefield Country Club and McConnell Golf I can barely restrain myself—here’s why…
On Tuesday, April 21, 2015, Tim Finchem, Commissioner of the PGA Tour, stood in our ballroom in front of blistering spotlights, cameras and local dignitaries to announce that Wyndham Worldwide has agreed to extend their sponsorship of
the Wyndham Championship for ten years, through 2026! While to many this may seem like a great thing but not very
monumental, let me dig a little deeper into it, and especially what it means for the members of Sedgefield Country Club.
When looking at the commitment, let me borrow some words and paraphrase what pretty much everyone that took to
the lectern said at the press conference—this is not a contract, this is a partnership.
To me, contracts are legal documents that bind one entity to another—partnerships are much more, promoting growth
and collaboration from within each party for the greater good of the overall project. The good news for us at
Sedgefield? The project’s main stage is our club! The Wyndham Championship has grown to be a spectacular event not
only for the Piedmont Triad, but for the world of golf. We would be foolish to not tag along for the ride and utilize their
success!
After the press conference, McConnell Golf President and CEO John McConnell was quoted as saying that the
announcement was a boost for Sedgefield. “It just makes it easier to get better because you know what the future is,”
McConnell said. “It allows you to continue to make investments because you know that the tournament is going to be
here.”
There you have it folks—straight from the horse’s mouth, err, the owner’s mouth—an even further commitment to
investments at the club. I equate the evolution of Sedgefield over the past four years to that of the technology of
cellular phones over the past couple of decades, so much so that even the word “cellular” is taboo—sorry about that, I
will stick with simply “cell” from now on.
First we had the bag cell phones, then flip phones, then smart phones, now smart watches and the cycle continues to
get better and better—the technology gets better, speeds get faster, and phones and networks get more efficient at the
same time. The same thing is happening at Sedgefield. Redecorated clubhouse, new Family Activities and Fitness
Center, new putting greens, addition of 18 holes with the merger with the Dye Course. The expansion of the McConnell
Golf footprint into the eastern and western parts of NC. I could keep going, but I think you get the picture.
The best part of all of this? No assessments to you! Our no assessment model protects you from having to pay for the
continued value that is added to your membership on a daily basis. A huge part of sustaining this model is the addition
of new members, and this is where you come in.
Come on, don’t be selfish and keep all of this for yourself—share the experience! Invite your friends, families, and
neighbors out to the club for a round of golf, a tennis clinic, a spin class, casual lunch or nice relaxing dinner. There is
so much to do at Sedgefield and I cannot wait to see you and your guests at the club collaborating with us in the great
partnership that we have created!
To have membership information sent to a friend on your behalf, please contact me at [email protected] or
directly on my CELLULAR phone at (919) 601-2940—I look forward to continuing to build the Sedgefield Country Club and
McConnell Golf brand as the most prestigious in the area!

MCCONNELL GOLF - REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE
Purchasing The Country Club of Asheville (NC) and Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville, NC in the past five months, McConnell
Golf continues to enhance its reputation for excellence.
Raleigh-based McConnell Golf enter it second decade of existence with a bang, as its stable of clubs has grown to feature ten of the
finest private golf experiences in North and South Carolina. McConnell Golf has also expanded in its new club management
division at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach, SC.
McConnell Golf’s attention to quality is a chief reason why the courses that bear its name in North and South Carolina consistently
ranks among the states’ best. Given that both states have been described as having “50 Top-10 golf courses,” earning the highest
marks is not an easy task.
“We have been very selective in our club acquisitions and these course rankings prove that the quality of our product and member
service are unmatched in the Carolinas,” said McConnell Golf Founder and CEO John McConnell.
As they have done time and time again, McConnell Golf courses dominated the 2015 rankings. In North Carolina’s prestigious Top
100, McConnell Golf’s Old North State Club in New London, NC repeated as the fourth best golf course in the Tar Heel State,
trailing only Pinehurst No. 2, Grandfather Mountain and CCNC’s Dogwood Course.
Meanwhile, Sedgefield Country Club’s Ross Course in Greensboro, home of the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship, made one of
the year’s most significant jumps among the Old North State’s best, up to No. 16 from No. 22 in 2014 - giving McConnell Golf the
top two-ranked courses in the Triad.
Close behind Sedgefield’s Ross Course, Raleigh Country Club remained at the No. 21 position in the state while Treyburn Country
Club in Durham (No.30) again earned a spot in North Carolina’s Top 30.
Not to be outdone, McConnell’s popular Pete Dye layout, formerly the Cardinal Golf and Country Club and now part of Sedgefield
CC’s 36-hole offering, checked in at No. 58, followed by another Ross gem The Country Club of Asheville at No. 60. The Hale
Irwin-designed TPC at Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh, home of the Web.com Tour’s Rex Hospital Open, also enjoyed a jump in
state rankings, up five spots to No. 68.
The North Carolina Golf Panel is comprised of golf media including some of the top daily newspapers in the state, as well as golf
club professionals, noted amateurs, college golf coaches and business leaders. Each year, the Panel provides a well-researched list
of the top golf courses in the state.
North Carolina’s Top 100 courses are determined by a scoring system where panelists consider among these factors: routing,
design, strategy, memorability, fairness, variety, and aesthetics—all detailed in the April issue of Business North Carolina magazine
and at NCGolfPanel.com.
Members of the Panel also voted on the top courses in the state’ six regions, plus ranged the top five courses per region in three
specialty categories: Best Collection of Par 4s; Best Bang for the Buck; and Best Experience.
Among the Best Par 4s in the Triad: Old North State grabbed the No. 1 spot followed at No. 3 by Sedgefield’s Ross Course. In the
Triangle, Treyburn Country Club earned the top spot, with Raleigh coming in No. 2.
As for the “Best Experience” - course itself, practice facilities, locker rooms, clubhouse, setting and memorability—in the Triad
Sedgefield’s Ross Course was No. 1, while OId North State Club was No. 3. In the Triangle, Raleigh Country Club grabbed the No. 2
spot, with Treyburn Country Club checking in at No. 5
