The weather has been all over the place,
hot, cool, and in between. It’s great golf
weather, great pool weather, and when
you’re done, spend an evening in the dining
room with a great meal. The pool is
sparkling, the summer menu in the kitchen
is a hit and the golf course is in great shape.
So come out and have fun at your Club.
Golf…
Pool…
We are in the dog days of summer and it
doesn’t feel like it. The weather has been
great for golf, and the golf course is in great
condition. Your Golf Committee has been
working hard to make the course better
than ever. The committee meets the 2nd
Wednesday of the month at 5:30PM. If you
have input or want to be part of this
committee please attend.
The pool always looks great, and I am
getting great reviews from our members.
Thanks to our staff for a great job. Thanks
for your patience with the swim team meet
schedule. We have approximately 150
members participating on the swim team,
and it is a great family event. The majority
of these children are members of the Club.
The team has done very well this year and
thanks for representing us.
The Member/Member Golf Tournament
was a huge success. A big thanks goes to
Battlefield Ford and Gary Fay for again
sponsoring the tournament. They make it
possible for this tournament being the best
of the year.
Don’t forget to sign up for our 51st Member
Guest tournament. The event will take
place on September 18th, 19th, and 20th, so
sign up early. We are looking for sponsors
to make this tournament the best we’ve
ever had. If you would like to help with this
project, please call me and I will let you
know when the next meeting will be.
The Club will be celebrating its 60th
anniversary and a part of that celebration is
a two day open golf tournament on
Saturday August 16th and Sunday August
17th. This tournament is open to the public,
and the sign up is in the Pro Shop. The
tournament will be flighted after the first
day. Get your friends and neighbors to sign
up.
Restaurant…
Time flies, and even though it’s hot, we
have some great events coming in the fall.
Keep an eye on the event schedule and sign
up early. Your continued support in making
our restaurant a weekly date is greatly
appreciated.
It is coming to the end of the season, and
our staff is going back to school. There will
be days where we have no lifeguards on
duty until 3:30PM. The pool will open at
11AM, but it will be swim at your own risk,
and it will be for members 18 years and
older.
Please don’t forget to leave the deck when
the Guards instruct you to do so due to
lightning and thunder in the area. It is for
your safety and the safety of our staff. Also,
don’t forget you are not allowed to bring
coolers with outside food or drink. Our
snack shop offers a great menu with snacks
and refillable drinks.
Closing…
Almost every day I hear complaints about
tournaments, golf course, hours, etc. We
have room on every committee of which
you may become a part to help resolve all
of these lingering issues. The members run
the club, so please become an active part of
it.
I would like to ask our members to refrain
from using our trash dumpster for personal
use. This is not part of your membership,
and we need the room to accommodate
Club trash. Thank you in advance.
If you have any concerns or ideas, or if you
think a staff member deserves recognition,
please contact me. I am always available.
Obey the rules, enjoy the Club, and have a
great August at the Club.

From the Desk of Susan Cruz…..
I can’t believe summer is coming to an end
and the kids will be going back to school
soon… boy does time fly when you’re
having fun!
There is still plenty of golf time left during
the fall season, it’s not too late for golf
lovers to sign up. So keep those referrals
coming!
At each Board meeting, the Board discusses
whether to continue the “Zero Initiation
Fee” so you never know when it might end!
I just want to extend a special thank you to
all our new members. You have really
taken interest in your Club and have been
active participants this summer.
Thank You!

Country Club member and Culpeper native
McKinley Smith and the 12U Mid-Atlantic Zone
team took on the best young tennis players from
around the country and beyond last week in
Sumter, S.C., and they brought home a national
championship.
"Everyone on the team is a true well-conditioned
athlete, and they were on another level,"
McKinley's mother and coach at the Culpeper
Sport & Racquet Club, Dena Smith, reported
from the road via email. The Smith family hit the
beach after the big win, with plenty to celebrate.
The Mid-Atlantic Zone Blue team went
undefeated during the five-day United States
Tennis Association tournament, with McKinley
competing in three matches a day, including coed doubles, girls doubles and singles, with
several matches against top-ranked competition
going into a full third set.
"Conditioning and mental strength was a huge
factor, with her singles battles going well over two
hours in the heat," Dena Smith said.
The Mid-Atlantic squad's toughest competition
came from teams hailing from Florida and even
the Caribbean Islands, McKinley said. The
Culpeper Middle School eighth-grader knew
coming in facing talent from all over the country
could only improve her game.
"Facing different playing styles is going to do a lot
for my experience and confidence," she said.
The USTA boasts teams in 17 regions all over
the United States. In the Mid-Atlantic Region,
McKinley competes in Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland and Washington D.C. tournaments, and
had to make deep runs in each event to earn
enough points to qualify for selection to the
national team.
