As part of the software upgrade from ClubStystemsGroup to Jonas Encore, I am pleased to announce that the upgradedOPCC Club App is now live and available to download through the appstore on your smartphone. Please refer to the next page of this Newsletterfor how to go about downloading the Club App. For some Members, you may have had the old/outdated version of ourClub app. Good news…We developed the upgraded app through our oldapp license from several years ago, so you do not need to downloadanything new. Simply go to the OPCC app and approve the update whenprompted. A Slow Intro to the App: For the first few weeks of September, the maingoal will be continuing to encourage all Members to download the OPCCapp. During that time, the main features of the app will be:The Club’s ability to send push notifications to the Membership. This ishuge! For the golf operations, we will continue to use Foretees forpush notifications regarding frost delays, no carts, etc. For all otheraspects of the Club (dining, club events, pool, tennis, etc), we willfinally be able to communicate to the Membership through pushnotifications via the OPCC app.An easy access mirror image of the OPCC Website, including an easyway to access your statement. What’s Next: Beginning in late September, the team will begin tointroduce additional features to the app. A rough timeline of theseadditional features are as follows, subject to change:September 23 | Event Reservations will be enabled on the App. Thismeans, for example, you would be able to register for upcomingPresident’s Ball or Santa Brunch. October 15 | Dining Reservations & Mobile Ordering will be enabled.Please note, we currently anticipate disabling the Mobile Orderingfeature during December due to a la carte volume. January – February | A Member Preference Information Drive will takeplace, where we can customize Member groups for our pushnotifications. For example, we can create a Swimming Pool PushNotification Group, and should you not be interested in receiving pushnotifications regarding the pool, you would opt out by letting us knowthrough the Member Preference Information Drive.

THE SODSQUADby Dan WeitzelDirector of GroundsThe Sod Squad SeptemberIt seems like a cliché phrase at this time of year but it’s hard to believe we are talkingabout September already. August, and the summer for that matter, has flown by and weare looking at Fall here in only a few short weeks. We had an extremely busy August golfcalendar, but we still managed to tackle some projects in addition to routine course care.Much progress has been made on #2 and more work will be continuing through theupcoming months ahead, provided the weather holds out. We did see a bit of rain inAugust, making it a bit challenging to fit in events, but we made it happen.AERIFICATIONWith calendars turning to September, it means leaf season as well as fall aerification havearrived. We are slated to begin aerification in early September, beginning with aerifyingthe greens on Tuesday, September 3rd. Please note that for Tuesday, September 3rd,all greens will be closed for the day and there will be temp pins in the fairways.Ifmother nature is uncooperative on Tuesday, greens aerification will take place onWednesday, September 4thunder the same parameters.Hopefully we have abeneficial weather month as to get through fairways this year also. September is usuallyone of the driest months of the year, as we are transitioning over to cooler weather in theFall months, making this time of year very beneficial to aerify as well as getting optimalplant recovery from the aerification process.People always ask the question: Why aerify? This is a great question as the process does alleviate a few things that occur over the summer monthsas well as wetter months of the year. First of all, aerification helps to exchange gases form the root zone into the atmosphere, as plants rootsrequire oxygen to respire and toxic gasses can build up in the root zone, due to a multitude of reason. The first one is compaction form mechanicalprocesses as well as foot traffic over areas. With this year being on the wetter side, we had a perfect year to cause soil compaction in the profile.Another reason to aerify is surface tension, which is caused by compaction, as water isn’t able to infiltrate into the soil as readily due to the soilbeing smashed tightly together. Soil amendments are added, usually sand, as to help in aiding the gas exchange into the root zone as well as out ofit, after the holes are filled with it and creating a better rooting zone for the plants to live in. If all goes well with the process, the greens should beclose to being healed in 6-10 days as we are going to do a smaller tine once again on them like last year. HOLE #2 As most have seen by now, the crew has commenced with work in and around hole #2. We started the tree work along the hole as well as back ofthe range last month and will be continuing the process over the next couple of months. We will be going to mats on #2 later on in September, mostlikely about 120-130 yards out, as to get the bigger tee box to grow in via seeding during the optimal fall growing season, following the aerificationthis fall. Please be aware that hole #2 may be closed on certain days due to tree work on the hill side. This is to ensure safety for bothplayers and staff in the area. It is tough to watch play as well as tree work at the same time. The wooden walking path, will be fixed with a layerof plywood as well as a new rubber mat to span the structure, adding a little grip there. Areas of the rough will also be aerified, once the bulk ofthe tree work is done and also seeded with a mixture, that is more conducive to that area of the course. I can already start to see a difference inthe quality and health of the turf, due to the work we have already done. Please bear with us as we continue to make dust in that area. THE FALLING OF FALL FOLIAGE Leaf season is almost here and by the end of September trees will be readying themselves for the winter ahead. With the arrival of fall, this isalways inevitable. The course will be blown off usually daily and we will once again be mulching the leaves around it. Frequently, we have time inthe morning to blow the line of play off, with the hopes of also being back later in the day to revisit areas that may recover quickly due to the leaffall and or wind. Please bare in mind we will be doing our best as to clean-up as fast as we can. FROST Frost is sometimes a word also associated with the September months, but in recent years, it’s been missing until October. That being said, there isalways a possibility of a frost delay on a colder morning in the latter part of the month. We will be posting updates on Foretees in the mornings asneeded for frost delays and any information about the driving range and or putting greens so thank you for reading the push notifications. Pleasebear in mind that a lot of damage can be done being impatient and walking across grass that is still covered in frost. The damage could last intothe next season, as the plant will be using its glucose supply stored for winter as to heal itself once the damage has occurred. As always enjoy this time of year and see you all on the course!

Septemberbrings the final days of the season at the pool.

All hours of operation are bothweather and staff dependent. Tuesday, September 3 – Sunday, September 15Monday-Friday l 4-7 pmSaturday & Sunday l 12-7 pmPool Lost & FoundAs we wrap up the season, we have an extensive number of items that have been left behind at the pool. Each day, we will continueputting out the Lost and Found items on a table under the blue awning for members to examine. Please check the Lost and Found foryour family’s belongings. We have dozens of towels, clothes, shoes, water bottles, swimsuits, and more. Items that remain unclaimedwill be donated at the end of the season. 2025 Aquatics Planning Although the saddest day of the year at the pool, closing day, is fast approaching, the countdown begins to May of 2025. As weplan for an even better aquatics season, please continue to reach out with your feedback and questions. Swim team families, our tentative meet schedule was emailed to our 2024 mailing list.

We will release a swim practice and swim lesson schedule in latewinter, and registration will go live in April. Finally, I want to wholeheartedly thank our Board of Directors, our club management, and you – our terrific Members – for yetanother wonderful summer at the pool. My last day at the club for the season is Labor Day, when I head back to Pennsylvania tobegin my teaching year. Our department’s vision word for this year was “community,” and our summer at the pool certainly embodied that word in everyregard. I look forward to seeing our community reconnect next summer at the pool. In the meantime, please be in touch throughoutthe off-season months by emailing me at pool@orchardparkcc.com. Thank you again for a great 2024 season at the pool. See you inMay! Best, Katie Wingert McArdlePlease note that all of our staff are full-time students during the month of September. We are grateful for their commitment tostaffing the pool during the school year. That said, thank you for remaining mindful of the 7:00 pm closure time. The pool deck, lockerrooms, and Poolhouse patio close at 7:00 pm so that our staff are able to their complete closing duties in a timely manner and get totheir studies in the evening.

FOOD &BEVERAGEby Jacob Schamel | Director of F&BA La Carte Reservations | It Helps EveryoneOver the past month, there have been numerous eveningswhere we had less than 2 tables for reservations on thebooks and the restaurant has ended up serving over 90covers that same evening. I know I can sound like abroken record, but this high percentage of walk-ins reallyhurts the overall dining experience in several ways:In efforts to be mindful of the budget, the F&BManagement team reduces staffing on lower volumereservation evenings.A la carte servers earn their wages from the diningservice charge. If there are no tables expected, theserver count is reduced, so those remaining on thefloor can earn their expected pay rate for the shift.Cutting staff from the floor is being budgetconscious, but at the same time it makes our F&Bfront of house team feel like their shifts aren’tguaranteed and some start to look elsewhere foremployment – that doesn’t help anyone when it comesto Membership recognition and familiarity. The kitchen looks at the anticipated covers for theevening and preps food portions and productaccordingly.After all of these proactive decisions are made in thehours leading up to dinner, the team then ischallenged with serving more Members thananticipated with less staff. Unfortunately, thissnowballs into a potential bad dining experience foryou, the Member, with the catalyst being thatreservations were not made. By making your reservations, we will have the properstaffing levels in place and the culinary team will havethe proper food prep completed. All this equals a betterdining experience for you and your guests. So …if youdon’t want to make reservations for us…at least do it foryourselves. Take-Out-TuesdaysLast year we introduced Take-Out-Tuesdays for themonths of September & October, and it was very popularwith families returning to their “in school routines”. Basedon this popularity, take out Tuesdays will continue to beoffered for these two upcoming months. Please note thatorders need to be placed with the Club by the Saturdayprior to Take-Out-Tuesday.
