We eagerly await the sunshine and bloomingthat will soon cover our Club's grounds, signaling the full resumption of golfcourse operations and the reopening of our pool and tennis facilities. Just asnature undergoes its rejuvenation, so too does our Club. Exciting news – we've secured a temporary liquor license for the halfwayhouse. While our full license remains in the State Liquor Authority's queue,this temporary permit ensures uninterrupted service for our Members as theyenjoy drinks during their rounds of golf or leisurely time at the pool. Jacob isdiligently curating a selection of drink options, including pre-canned andtraditional serves, catering to the diverse preferences of our membership. In terms of capital expenditures, safety remains one of our top priorities.We've recently installed a handicap door near the practice green clubhouseentrance, enhancing accessibility for all Members and guests. During May,we'll be upgrading the main entrance of the clubhouse with new carpetingand railings. Additionally, our pool floor project continues as scheduled. It isrecommended that we initially use liquid chlorine for optimal bonding andchemistry during the first 30 days. We will then revert back to our standardsaltwater solution after the 30-day settling period. During this time, the poolwill remain open and the chlorine solution is safe and standard practice. Lastly, a thank you is owed to our dedicated staff for their unwaveringcommitment during the recent software upgrade. Having navigated numeroussoftware transitions in my own office, I deeply appreciate the time and effortrequired to adapt to new processes and technology. The entire team'sdiligence in smoothing out any wrinkles will undoubtedly enhance the Club'soperations for years to come. I kindly ask for members' patience as we fine-tune our systems in the coming weeks, ensuring a seamless experience forall. Take care,Matt DeVincentis

Halfway House | Upgraded Liquor License The Club applied for an upgraded liquor license in 2023. Due to the steps requiredby the NYS Liquor Authority to achieve this approval, the Club anticipates a fullliquor license issued at the Halfway House by the end of 2024. In the interim, theBOD and I are please to share that the Halfway House is being issued a temporarypermit, while awaiting the approval of transfer to a full liquor license. Thistemporary permit allows the Club to stock and sell beer, wine, and alcohol. We justreceived this permit the other day and Jacob & I are now in the process ofpurchasing various beverages for display and purchase. We anticipate having thesebeverages delivered by the end of the week and available to the Membership byTuesday, May 7. Pool Project | Pool Opening Pending Timeline The pool replastering project continues to push forward. As of the week of April 29,the removal of the previous layers of plaster has been accomplished. Now BeautyPools is in the process of replacing damaged tile, putting in the race lanes, andimproving the expansion joints in the pool. Once this is done the new layer ofplaster will be applied. While we are currently on track to be ready for the pool toopen on Memorial Day weekend, it is still yet to be known if the pool will be ready toopen the weekend prior to Memorial Day Weekend. Friday, May 17 – Sunday, May 19 Pool Opening / Hours of Operation TBD based on timeframe for completingthe pool project Friday, May 24th – Monday, May 27 The pool project is on schedule to be open for Memorial Day weekend Tennis & Pickleball The tennis and pickleball courts are now up and available for use. The courtwindscreen is up and we are working to fix a few areas at the bottom of the fencewhere tennis and pickleball can escape under the wire. For 2024, we purchased anew tennis tent, which will be assembled and put in place in the upcoming weeks. Operation Image | Front Entryway & Handicap Door As a follow up to the April newsletter article, the Clubhouse golf entryway door isnow a handicap door. There are push plate buttons available both inside of theentryway, as well as outside the building. I recommend using the push plate forentering and exiting this entrance, as the door is a little heavy with the new weightof the handicap motor.

Creating a linear divot patternboth maximizes turf usage and allows the turf to re-grow more quickly and more densely. The goal is to complete the driving range set-up bythe first tee time each day. We ask for understandingas this is not always feasible due to sunrise timescombined with the early OPCC starts. The driving range will close 60 minutes prior to postedsunset for that day. On Sunday evenings, the drivingrange will close 120 minutes prior to posted sunset.Each Thursday, the driving range will be suspendedfor weekly maintenance which will involve tee upkeep,mowing, re-defining the target areas and anyscheduled projects. The approximate time for thisscheduled maintenance is 9:00am-11:00am. The timeswill adjust in accordance with the weekly Ladies eventand project needs.Please feel free to direct any questions to Head GolfProfessional, Gary Occhino: gary@orchardparkcc.com.

Well, we have had the April showers and now hopefully inMay it will start to dry out, as we have had one of thewettest April’s on record in addition to going through arollercoaster of weather conditions. Needless to say, thecourse was saturated the entire month and we are doingeverything we can as to get carts out sooner than later. Weneed a couple of days strung together of dry weather andsun to get the drying process started. It will happen as wejust need to clear the constant rain hurdle. We are fightingit here too, as trying to mow the course and perform thedaily tasks without getting the mowers or carts buried inthe mud. Leibold is in the final stretch of finishing up their work hereon the course. They had to work around the weather as wellthis month and even pulled off the property to work otherjobs. They should be finishing up their punch list here in Mayand be fully off the property as well as removing theirequipment around the tennis center. Their work during theentirety of the project has been great and they have beenvery responsive to our asks these past few months. It was agood decision by them to bring in a heavy crew last falland get as far as they could, as this current weatherpattern we have had could have pushed them into themiddle of summer if they kept their original timeline. Thesystem is up and operational for the 2024 season and wewill start using it when the conditions merit its usage in themonths to come. THE SODSQUADby Dan WeitzelDirector of GroundsAs we move into May, we are now into the start of betterweather and golfing season finally. The course is healing upfrom the winter utilization and the divots on tees will take alittle time to heal, as we are now into the growing season.During the winter months turf cannot heal itself unlessdivots are replaced. We will be doing aerification on thetees this spring as well as overseeding them. The materialsare here we are just waiting on the weather and a few drydays. Once we get the window, we will be taking off ondoing this. Remember as the season now picks up, roundswill be picking up too. Please take care of your divots byreplacing them and also fixing ball marks on the greens.Remember ball marks will take 28 days to heal in summermonths, if not fixed within 24 hours.As the weather is warming up a bit, we are able to get intothe beds around the Clubhouse and also out onto thecourse. We have a new Horticulturalist this season and Matthas hit the ground running already. The Clubhouse area isstarting to shape up and is ready for when the rightweather conditions hit and then planting can take place.We are looking to have at least the front of the Clubhouseplanted by Mother’s Day and show some color for all themothers for when they arrive for brunch and dinner thatday. If you see Matt, welcome him to OPCC as he will beshowing off his vast knowledge of the plant kingdom. Welcome back to all those who were in Florida for theseason, we are looking forward to the 2024 season ahead.Warmer as well as drier days are coming and we will seeyou on the course!TREASURER’S REPORTby Edward Schneider, Treasurer & Finance Committee ChairpersonBoard of DirectorsDear Members,I hope you are well, and preparing for a fun summer season atOPCC.

Contact Katie McArdle, Aquatics Director, pool@orchardparkcc.comMay is National Water Safety Awareness Month! This summer, do everything that you can to ensureyour children’s safety when in or around water.1. Monitor your children closely and make sure that,in a facility without lifeguards, such as a backyardpool, there is a responsible adult assigned tomonitor children AT ALL TIMES. Drowning is quickand silent. 2. Review water safety rules with your childrenbefore the pool opens and on a regular basis. 3. Be selective when purchasing flotation devices.Puddle jumpers, water wings, and inner tubes arenot flotation devices. Look for the U.S. Coast GuardAssociation label, and purchase life jackets thatpromote proper swimming position instead of thevertical position (also known as “the drowningposition.”). 4. A flotation device is not a substitute for adultsupervision. Even if your child is at a lifeguardedpool, you – the adult – must monitor them and staywith them when they are wearing a flotation device.This is a part of our pool rules.5. Sign up your child for swim lessons! A child’scomfort in the water at the end of last summer doesnot ensure their comfort at the beginning of thissummer. Our instructors are happy to support yourchild’s growth in comfort and safety in the water. 6. If you don’t know how to swim, make this summerthe one that you learn. Children whose parents fearthe water are statistically more likely to never learnto swim. Learn the only sport that will ever save yourlife and forever set an example for your child ofovercoming fears with courage.
