Lexington Renovation Update #19
RENOVATION REPORT
January 19, 2016
BAR-GRILLE-LOBBY RENOVATION PROJECT
Grille-Bar Expansion
The drywall installation will be completed by the end of this week. Application of the epoxy floor behind the
bar and in the service area began today. It should be completed by the weekend.
Installation of the wood trim on the ceiling is underway.
Installation of the new roof tile is just about completed. There is a portion of the "existing" roof that required
repair. The tile on that portion of the roof has been removed to make the repair and will be replaced next
week.
Installation of the retaining wall was scheduled to begin last Friday. Due to the heavy rain on Friday the wall
is being installed this week. The new cart path will be built once the wall is complete.
Budget and Completion Date
The budget remains within the "Not To Exceed" limit approved by the Board.
We expect to receive the Certificate of Occupancy by mid-February.

This writer is on special assignment in the Mid-West.
More upon his return.
I’m sure you remember this from May, 2014:
Malcolm on returning to Ronald and Ronnie’s Dry
cleaning establishment, complaining that his shirts are
still dingy. He learned a powerful lesson: “two Ron’s
don’t make a white.” If you are not laughing or
smiling now, there is no hope for you. Head to the Tiki
for help.

Hey Lexington Movie Lovers!!
You are invited to the next outing of the Lexington Movie and Dinner group on Wednesday, January 27.
We will meet at 3:40 pm in the Club parking lot (near bocce courts) and carpool to Bell Tower Cinema to
purchase tickets individually for the 4:25 pm showing of Joy (2 hrs 4 min, PG-13).
After the movie we will return to the Club Dining Room for dinner and conversation about the movie.
From Rottentomatoes.com (60%): “Joy is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on
the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own
right.” And “Joy is anchored by a strong performance from Jennifer Lawrence [in this] fact-based tale.”
If you want to attend this movie and have dinner with the group, please email (preferred) or call Colleen
Wheeler ([email protected] 239-896-3507) or Jeannette Keyser ([email protected]
239-454-9139) by 5:00 on Monday, January 25.

From your Fitness Director - Angie Ferguson
“I know that if I set my mind to something, even if people are
saying I can’t do it, I will achieve it.”
- David Beckham
Last week we talked about making positive resolutions and uplifting changes that will improve your life
immediately - changes that you’ll want to make! Below are 2 more positive changes you can make this year
that will add years to your life and life to your years.
Learn How to Play an Instrument
Learn how to make beautiful music this year! Whether you played the piano as a kid and are ready to
reacquaint yourself with its keys or were given a guitar years ago but never learned how to play, playing an
instrument is an incredibly rewarding hobby that can be both creative and stimulating for the brain. (Not to
mention that you earn serious cool points with your friends when you bust out your musical skills at the next
party).
Where to begin: Go to a local music store that offers lessons or surf the internet to get started. There are
tons of free resources on how to play any instrument.
Learn to Say No
Saying no may seem hard to do, but with practice these two little letters become easier and easier to say.
And vowing to say them more often - when you’re faced with something that you really don’t want to do or
don’t have time for - can be completely liberating. With practice saying n-o, you can have more time for you!
Where to begin: Pick one activity you feel obligated to do but don’t like doing, such as going to a birthday
party of a friend's cousins party, and tell them “No, I cannot make it.” You may feel guilty at first, but stay firm
but polite. With practice, saying no becomes easier and easier (and no this doesn’t apply to some things that
we all dislike but have to do like going to the dentist).
On behalf of your fitness team dedicated to helping you make a positive impact this year, have a wonderful
weekend and we'll see you first thing in the morning.
Angie

From your Golf Professional - Jim Nuchereno
This past Saturday Lexington held its Monthly Mixer with a theme of Wine and Dine. Ideal
weather conditions welcomed members playing in the four person scramble format with wine
and light hors d’oeuvres stations out on the course. The wines featured several different U.S.
wine regions throughout the country. After play all the contestants got together in the Vista
Room for a complimentary raffle and sit down dinner while the golf Pros announced the
results of the winners of the three flights and par three challenges. We thank you all for
joining us as a good time was had by all. Congratulations to the winners of each flight:
Chardonnay Flight: Curt/Helene Pillsbury and Don/Meg Matlock 54.4, Pinot Grigio Flight: Harold/Joyce Wade
and Ted/Joyce Szawara 55.5, Cabernet Flight: John/Judith Wood and Ray/Violet Bozek 58.8.
We are all looking forward to Lexington Country Club’s fourth major tournament of the season, The Couples
Championship, to be held next week on Wednesday and Thursday, January 27 & 28. While we are happy to
say that we have 200+ golfers signed-up, we still have openings should you wish to join us for this fun and yet
competitive major event. A continental breakfast will be available prior to the start of the two morning
shotguns from 7 am to 7:45 am with a sit down dinner immediately after play on Thursday evening. Keep in
mind that those participating in the tournament will not be charged play points and in addition to all the prizes,
players will be playing for GM Cup points. GM Cup point leaders, as of The Member-Member, are displayed
outside the Golf Shop in the shadow box. The top leaders thus far are Tom Whalley in the Men’s Division with
73 total points and Ann Ulrich in the Ladies Division with 63 points.
The new February golf calendars are now available in the Golf Shop - In it you’ll see that Lexington’s
Super Demo Day will be held on Friday, February 5, from 10 am to 3 pm at Lexington’s Driving Range. As in
past year’s some of golf’s top companies will be here at our range with all their new 2016 golf clubs for you to
try out. If you’re worried about our golf club prices, don’t be, we will meet or beat anybody’s price! Chef Scott
and Lauri will also have a hamburger and hot dog cookout at the range for you to enjoy to add to the festive
day. And please don’t forget if you want to sell any of your used clubs, we will once again have an exhibit
where you can drop off any clubs you wish to sell. Just bring them to the range by 9:45 am and we’ll mark
down any information about your clubs and price them. Who knows, someone may buy them! You’ll also see
that our Annual Men’s and Ladies’ Match Play tournaments will be taking place throughout the month
along with Lexington’s Annual Barbara’s Friends Charity event on Sunday, February 21. As in January,
throughout the month, crossover tee times will be available from 7 am to 9 am, 11:22 am to 1:07 pm and 9
hole play available from 3:30 pm and after.
The Golf Shop would like to thank The Titleist Golf Company for visiting Lexington Country Club on January
6. They met personally with approximately 265 members, according to all the signatures, recommending to
each member which ball would be most likely right for their game. After all was said and done they gave out
well over a thousand golf balls valued at over $3500.00!!! Wow! Thanks again Titleist. We all look forward
to seeing you next year.
We see that there are still members with private carts who have not registered their cart in the Golf
Shop. If you are one of them please stop by the shop ASAP and register your cart. For those members who
own a golf cart for the purpose of using it only on Lexington’s property you too need to register your cart and
have it tagged for 2016. We also want to point out that when parking your cart in Lexington’s parking lot it is
important to park it in an official car parking space and NOT on painted lines between handicap parking and
regular parking spaces. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
This past week Mr. Cork Lott eagled #3 using a putter for his third shot!! Congratulations!
GOLF TIP
If you are truly serious about lowering your scores, it’s no secret that you should work more on your short
game: chipping, putting, pitching and greenside bunkers. Keep in mind that a good short game can cover-up
a multitude of sins from the long game.

Residential/Common Grounds - Peter Wensel
Palm tree trimming has continued this week in Wedgewood.
The weed & feed application has been completed throughout Lake Village and has begun in
Wedgwood. Brown patches will start to appear in lawns as crabgrass dies off in the colder temperatures.
Crews have completed debris clean-up from this past weekend’s storms. Your patience has been appreciated
while crews have been bracing fallen trees.
Golf Course - Laurie Frutchey
The golf course crew has been busy cleaning up after the weekend storms.
New trees are being planted as the old ones are being removed.
The greens are going a little off colored from the cold and will green up in a
few days.
Liquid fertilizer and wetting agent will be applied this week to all greens and
tees to help speed up the process. Next week we will be topdressing all tee
and greens.

As a member of the American Cancer Society Cattle Baron's Ball planning committee I want to personally
thank Al Kinkle for the Beautiful Basket and Golf Package for our Silent Auction. The violent storms on
Friday, Jan. 15, threatened the entire event, when the huge tents, where the event was to be held, were
destroyed. However the Ranch, stepped up on very short notice and allowed us to use their facility on Jan.
16. Thanks to Al Kinkle, Lexington C.C. and the Lee County Community, the evening ended up a huge
success for Cancer Research and tons of fun for the 325 generous guests.

Southmont Cove Potluck Dinner
IN APPRECIATION . . .
On behalf of the Ladies 9 Hole Golf Association, thank
you to Jim Nuchereno and Danny Loucks for
conducting the Golf Rules Workshop last Thursday for our
members. Everyone who attended agreed the
information provided by our knowledgeable Golf Pros to
be interesting and helpful.
Special thanks to Al Kinkle for providing the delicious
pizza prepared by Chef Scott and his staff plus Lauri
Meyer, Claudio Gonzalez and wait staff. You all make
planning an event like this so easy.
Good afternoon Al,
Thank you so much for helping us stage a fantastic
planning retreat yesterday. Your team did an
outstanding job making us feel welcome and taking care
of our meeting needs. I’ve had the opportunity to work
with many of the clubs in our area and want you to know
that when we have the pleasure of working with
Lexington, we are treated as friends, not customers. That
means a lot. Thanks again!
Thursday, February 11th
6:15 pm

All Southmont Cove residents are welcome!
