GM’S TOP TEN SEASONAL REMINDERS:All golf course play will be off on #1 tee, unless otherwise noted. If you desire to playoff of #10, this is permitted after 9:00am, provided you obtain approval from one of thegolf professionals.1.All golf play is required to be played in sequential order. This is especially importantfor team and fellow golfer safety, and well as ensuring one is not playing through golfcourse chemical applications or agronomical practices.2.When playing the course, please be sure to fix your ball marks and divots. It goes along ways towards making our course better for all.3.Please use extra caution when moving through the parking lot. Between vehicles, golfcarts, and people moving to and from the Clubhouse, Golf Shop, and Pool, it is a very busyplace. Please watch your children with heightened awareness.4.Parents are responsible for their children at all times while on Club property. Thankyou to all parents for being mindful our your childrens location and behavior.5.A la carte reservations, especially on Friday & Saturday evenings, are stronglyrecommended.6.The Annual OPCC Roster Book, monthly newsletters, and the “Week Ahead” email blastsare the best ways to keep up-to-date on the Club.7.Always be mindful of the Club required dress code. Thank you for making your extendedfamily and guest(s) aware of the dress code requirements on campus.8.AED’s are located at the pool, the 5th hole restroom, and in the Clubhouse main foyer. Inaddition, first aid kits are located at every building on campus.9.“As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play oneround.” – Ben Hogan | Remember to have fun – that’s the reason you are here! 10.NOT ALL HEROS WEAR CAPES | RECOGNIZING ALL WHO HELPED ON TUESDAY, MAY 21 At approximately 1:15pm on Tuesday, May 21, one of our grounds crew team members, RonWojcik, was getting ready to head out for the day after his shift when he suffered a heartattack out by the grounds building. Hamilton McGrath (Golf Department), Andrew Piganelli(Grounds Department), & James Guggemos (Grounds Department) came to Ron’s rescue andstarted a rotation of performing CPR on Ron. An Orchard Park Police Officer quickly arrived atthe scene as well, as did two doctors from our Membership, Dr. Schrek & Dr. McCann, whowere playing a round of golf. After a lengthy duration of CPR, along with two shocks by theAED, Ron’s pulse came back and he began to breath consistently on his own. An ambulancearrived soon after the second AED shock and Ron was transported to Mercy Hospital where itwas discovered that he had 100% blockage of two arteries. Following two stents and a fewdays of rest in the hospital, we are pleased to report that Ron Wojcik was discharged from thehospital and is now resting comfortably at home. Each month, the Department Heads and I gather to, among other topics of discussion,nominate an employee of the month. Hamilton, Andrew, and James have been selected as theJune 2024 Employees of the Month for their heroic actions on May 21 that ended up savingthe life of one of our fellow team members. In addition to the team celebrating theseindividuals at the June Employee of the Month gathering, I thank the Membership in advancefor recognizing these individuals when you see them around the Club. POOL PROJECTAs many are aware from using the pool over Memorial Day weekend, the pool replasteringproject is now complete! My thanks to our Pool & Tennis Chairperson - Mike Sullivan, theClubhouse Maintenance team - Tom Naber & Raul Marero, and our Aquatics Director- KatieWingert McArdle for helping ensure that we were open in time for Memorial Day weekend, andfor keeping my stress level down. OPERATION IMAGE | FRONT ENTRYWAY & PATIO The upgrades to the Clubhouse porte cochere were completed in early-May. Theseupgrades included new handrailings and outdoor carpeting.Over the past two seasons I have received Member feedback that there needs to be moreair movement at the Patio Bar, especially on hot summer days. In the upcoming weeks, twoceiling fans will be added above the patio bar to help with this issue. CLUB SOFTWARE UPGRADE | JONAS ENCOREA reiteration from last month, the Club administrative team continues to work with our ITvendor and new software company to integrate certain elements of Clubsystems over to JonasEncore. The most important Member facing part of this outstanding integration is memberstatements. We thank the Membership for their patience.

We all blinked and we are in June already. Amazing howquick spring has gone and we will soon be into summeralong with warmer temperatures. This spring we havetrended above normal in rain fall in addition to belownormal for temperatures. We still have a decent amount ofwet areas on the course that usually tend to dry down bythis time of year. We even saw the creek flood twice thispast month due to heavy rainfall events. Hopefully this isn’tthe trend moving into the summer and we do get a bit ofdrying down in the upcoming weeks and months. With May being wet, it did put us behind a bit on things wewanted to accomplish. We haven’t had a wet spring likethis since 2009. Numerous times equipment has been stuckon the course and pulled out, but our persistence has paidoff and we are almost back on track. As much as everyoneis frustrated with the rain, we are just as frustrated with it.We were finally able to get carts out in May and showcasethe new cart fleet for the first time. Also, the Randy Shawwas prepared for along with the leagues, so all in all I feelwe are getting back on track for the season ahead. As we move into June, you’ll see a few projects that gotdelayed due to the weather in May continuing to happen.We will be working on the drainage in a few areas aroundthe course and trying to dry down a couple of other areas.These nagging issues continue to be delayed due to therains and access to the #1 area. THE SODSQUADby Dan WeitzelDirector of GroundsThe bridge on #2 will be addressed as well this month aswe will be sheeting it and putting a layer of protection overit. This should be happening about mid-month and maycause a little delay to your round, as we fit sheeting to goover the existing structure. This will be a great improvementto the bridge also. We are also installing sand into bunkersgiving a more consistent depth to them. We ordered 100tons of sand in April but the ground conditions have notbeen beneficial in getting it out. As we get into the summer season ahead, we will be usingthe new irrigation system hopefully. The new system is stateof the art and will have better coverage of the course. Thisdoesn’t mean that hand watering isn’t needed around thecourse, as not all systems are 100% efficient on theircoverage. Sunward facing banking require a little bit morewater in addition to elevated areas with the wind. As you’llall notice, we will be out and about hand watering spotsaround the course during the upcoming summer months.This process makes the course more consistent during thehotter months ahead.We did have a medical emergency in the department thispast month. Ron, who works around the clubhouse groundshad a medical emergency and if it was not for the actionsof Hamilton, James and Andrew, a far different outcome forRon would have happened. I would like to recognize thesethree individuals as well as Matty for helping Ron survivethe emergency he had. It takes a brave person to run to anemergency instead of watching it unfold. Ron is now homeand resting comfortably due to their bravery. It’s always a pleasure on our end to work on this course. Weare excited to be moving into summer and start to pushahead out of the dull weather we have had. Think sunnydays ahead and as always, see you all on the course!OPCC HISTORYby Daniel J. Kraft1980 Club PresidentDid you know or do you remember? 1980 Club President Dan Kraft remembers:In the winter of 1980, Members broke through the 12” cement foundation of the Clubhouse to provide access from theMen’s Locker room to the “at the time” pro shop. The total cost of the project was just a few cases of Molson’s dailyfrom Bihr’s (now Beerz) after the work shift was over.1.Before any watering system existed, a tee shot on old 16 (current #18) that landed in the creek between the bridgeswas allowed a free lift. 2.Remember “the loop”? This was the phrase used when referring to carrying out a 2-hole golf wager on the old #17 and#18 (the now driving range), typically inspired by an after round libation or two on the patio. Guys would place thebet(s) and then play a 2-hole match. 3.If there is some interesting tidbit of information that you recall from the Club’s history, I invite you to submit to StephenFeuz, GM, at stephen@orchardparkcc.com
