Killing Patton

By Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard

General George S. Patton, Jr. died under

mysterious circumstances in the months

following the end of World War II. For

almost seventy years, there has been

suspicion that his death was not an accident--and may very

well have been an act of assassination. Killing Patton takes

readers inside the final year of the war and recounts the

events surrounding Patton's tragic demise, naming names of

the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.

Pool Opens Friday, May 15th.

The pool will be open

Friday May 15th: 5:00pm—7:00pm

Saturday, May 16th and Sunday May 17th: 11:00am—7:00pm

The pool will resume regular summer hours on May 22nd

11:00am—8:00pm, Tuesday through Sunday.

Water Aerobics will return from June through August.

Information will be available in the May newsletter

A nother school year is coming to a close and summer vacation is on the horizon. The

Brickyard is getting ready to spring into summer and provide you with fun and relaxing

activities for the entire family. The salt water swimming pool will open for the weekend

of May 16th and 17th from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. The official pool opening is on May

22nd and the pool season will extend until August 30th due to the groundbreaking for the new Irish

Pub on September 1st. This time is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the “lazy” summer days and

enjoy being with your friends and family. In addition, our Summer Camp is from June 1st through

July 31st this year. Rebecca, our Youth Director, has some fun filled activities planned that will keep

your youth active and engaged. Feel free to contact the clubhouse to reserve your spot today.

We continue to recruit valuable and skilled individuals to add to the Brickyard team. During March

we have added Bobby Williams as a Sous Chef; please refer to the welcome article for more infor-

mation. We have also added additional service staff in the Food and Beverage Department and in

Administration. We are trying to balance the demand of membership services with the necessary

staff to make your club enjoyable.

Please remember that the club will be closed on Easter Sunday, April 5th, in order to allow our hard

working staff time to be with their families. Speaking of time with family, we are planning a feast for

Mother’s Day; please see the cover of this month’s newsletter and remember to make your reserva-

tions early so that we can accommodate your party.

We will continue to keep you abreast of the changes we have planned for your club and update you

with all of the events and happenings at the Brickyard. As always, my door is always open; feel free

to stop by with any questions or concerns. See you at the club!

S o far, the spring is off to a great start and both the Buddy Membership Program and the Seasonal Pool & So-

cial Program are picking up interest quickly! We are drawing closer to the application deadline, however, so if

you have anyone in mind who may be interested in membership, please let me know. You may wish to make

initial contact with the prospective member, and an invitation is always best coming directly from a member,

but I would be happy to make follow-up calls and schedule a tour of the club to get the membership rolling.

Now that the weather is truly warming up and the golf course is turning a brilliant shade of green, I hope to see more of

you at the club and on the course! If you have recently sponsored a member, consider inviting him/her to play a round

of golf with you or have lunch in the dining room! It’s a small way to make our new members feel welcome!

As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding membership, or to request promotional fly-

ers or membership applications. I am always happy to help!

A Note from your Course Superintendent

I hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather. This is always my favorite time of the year. After staring at dormant grass all winter I love to see everything come back to life in the spring.

Last month we started mowing all the areas of the course to get the shape and definition back into the course. We also fertilized and pre-emerged all areas of the course to prevent the summer weeds. I sprayed a lot last month to try and rid the course of the poa annua that popped up. I con-centrated on the fairways, tees, and green com-plexes and we were able to keep them pretty clean. The roughs were sprayed in certain areas to maintain good playing conditions. We also fin-ished cutting down the chordgrass throughout the course and hope to keep the briars from grow-ing back in them this year.

We have a busy schedule in April as well. This is when our mowing really kicks in. We will start our greens maintenance program each week; ver-ti-cutting, double cutting, top-dressing, and plant growth regulator applications. We will be work-ing hard to keep your course in the best playing shape possible.

Looking forward to a great season of golf,

Hope to see you on the course!Briane Faletto, GCS

Class A Superintedent

We Need Your Help!!

Please repair ball marks on green.

Rake bunkers after your shot.

Use 90 degree rule (it helps fairways).

Please register yourself and guests

before going out to play golf.

Please check with Jim Hickman or Luis

before playing a five-some.

Thanks and happy golfing!

The driving range will be closed two hours

before dark every Sunday evening.

This will allow staff to retrieve all range balls from the range. This will

allow our maintenance staff to mow on Monday and will also ensure

that we are not losing any range balls.

-SWING TIP OF THE MONTH-

If you put a log on the ground and asked

someone to take out a chunk of wood

from the log with an ax, they would most

likely swing the ax into the log at an an-

gle and create a sliced out section from

the log. This action is done with an ab-

rupt angle of attack. However, if you

were to ask that same person to drive a

spike into the end of the log with a

sledge hammer, they would use more of

a level approach. This requires less of a

descending strike and more of an ap-

proach from behind the spike, level with

the head of the spike vs. angular. This is

the action you want to feel more of in

your golf swing, not a chopping action.
