Unfortunately, the LiL’ Abner tournament was rained out on April 11th; however we have rescheduled it for May 8th, 2003. The new sign-up sheets have been posted in the clubhouse and an e-mail was sent to all members advising of the rain date. We hope all who wanted to participate were able to do so. The cost is $10.00 for the prize money pot.
Our first away game held at Foxfire Golf Club was a huge success, with over 70 players participating. We were served a great lunch after the golf and Ed Rackowski did a wonderful job of score keeping and passing out the prize money.
Our second away game will be held at the “Carolina” on May 13th, 2003. The cost will be $33.00 which covers golf, cart, prize money and Lunch at Putterheads, sponsored by the PMGA. Golf will begin with a shotgun start at 9:00am. Please be there by 8:30am to check in. After golf everyone will go to Putterheads for lunch to be served and prizes distributed. The sign-up sheet is in the locker room, so please sign up and help make this event a success also.
Pinewild Country Club will host the Mid Carolina Interclub match on May 5th, 2003. Breakfast will be served before a 10:00am shotgun start.
Additionally, the Blazer matches begin on May 9th, 2003. Good luck to all the participants.
Remember to mark June 27th on your calendars for the Summer Bash.

PINEWILD WOMEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION
The golf season is in full swing, finally! Our Tuesday turnouts have been terrific, with almost 90 ladies signing up. As of today, two ladies are on their way to becoming “Queen of the Hill”. Our first two “Aces of the Day” are Emily Hamilton and Peg Gest. Congratulations is also in order for Pat Watterworth, who recorded her career round of 86 on the Holly.
Pinetops was played at Southern Pines on April 24th and will be played at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club on May 19th. The sign-up for these two courses gets very filled, so we usually have to have a lottery. Tar Heels is underway and Interclub will start in May. Gay Strojney, Gail Corgan, Linda Critzer, Diane Vosilus, Ginger Lash and Connie Desmond went to Columbia, SC to play in the CGA Senior Women’s Championship. Connie took 1st low net and Gail took 2nd low net in the 2nd flight. Please check the bulletin board for a complete list of tournaments, some are one-day tournaments and others two-day tournaments, some close by and others at wonderful courses such as at Kiawah Island, SC. Amy and I have the sign up sheets.
Many thanks go out to Gail Corgan and Anne Amspoker in co-chairing the Holly vs. Pines Tournament. We had 109 members play and raised over $100 for the NC Jr. Girls Golf Association. What a perfect day we had with warm weather and a good lunch afterwards. And this year the winner was the Pines team. (Boo-hoo). The beautiful wine glasses that Paula Montgomery painted were awarded to our two closest to the pin winners: Alyce Kietzman and Debbie Ogle.
The month of May will be a very busy month with our Member-Guest tournament on May 6th and our Match Play on May 13th, 16th and 20th. We will have lunch following the last day.
Just a reminder, if something comes up at the last minute and you might need to get an earlier playing time on Tuesday, the policy is to call Amy after 4:00 pm on Monday to see if there is any availability. Please do not call the Pro Shop as they do not have access to the game being played or to each person’s handicap.
I thank all of you for making it such a good year for me.

CLUB NEWS…
Thanks to all the members and guests who participated in the Couples Member Guest which was held on the 4th & 5th of April. The BIG winners were: In Flight One – Dave & Marilyn Otto and Ron & Bette Roth…In Flight Two – Tom & Andy Cecka and Ronald & Linda Dunning. A special “Thank You” to Gary and Phyllis Clark for ALL their assistance with the event.
The month of April was extremely busy with the onset of some good weather – weather that we were all eagerly anticipating. The same continues in May, with numerous events. On the 19th of May, we will be hosting the first stage of the US Open Qualifying on the Magnolia Golf Course. This is a great day to get out and watch some good golf, and spectators are encouraged.
We are once again hosting our Junior Golf Camps over the entire summer. Last year, many members took advantage of enrolling their grandchildren in the program. This is a great way to get introduced to the “game of a lifetime”. More information and entry forms are available at www.pinewildcc.com in the Golf Academy section.
Tom has had a great response so far with respect to the Equipment Evaluation Program. Tom and his staff have improved services offered to members in reference to club repair/re-gripping and club fitting. All the necessary equipment to properly custom fit all golfers is now available. Club fitting will also be included in all lesson series packages and golf school programs.
Remember…the Pool Facilities open on the 19th of May
Thanks for your support and enjoy the spring.

Club Manager
ADVISORY BOARD MINUTES
The Advisory Board held its’ meeting on April 3rd – Highlights were as follows:
– The Pinewild/Pinehurst Parks & Rec. Junior Golf Program, was a great success last year, and will begin this year around the end of April.
– A special “Thanks” to Ying Wei Mulready, Mary Lou Dalziel and Doug Schmidt for their help in making the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner a great success.
– The Pool will open on Monday May 19th, 2003.
– Those members who play tennis were advised that routine maintenance needs to be completed on the tennis courts. There is a “certain window of time” in which this necessary maintenance can be completed, which means the tennis courts may be closed for a couple of days.
– The Friday night Socials will be continuing.
– Thanks to Len Block who has made a great-looking logo for Jazz on the Mag.
– A recommendation was made by a club member that a dance band be brought in for an event. This recommendation is based on the huge success of pub night. The committee discussed whether this should be done in conjunction with the pool party in July. The committee is strongly in favor of this.
– Many of the Magnolia greens are being aerated and sand/seed being added.
– The cart path on #2 Holly is being concreted. There will be a number of other cart paths on the Holly completed this year.
– The project on #2 Magnolia is complete, cart path work continues on #2 Holly
– We will be doing extensive work on #5 Magnolia as well as #13 Holly with the wetlands
– The various F & B and social events have been well received lately
