Manager’s Message (continued)

You asked for yoga and we listened! We now have classes on our calendar on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings. We invite you to try them out and encourage you to bring your friends – non-ACC members are welcome during this introductory phase. Registration is required and classes are $15 per member ($20 for guests), please bring your own yoga mat and water and join us in the green space near the swimming pool (in case of rain, classes will be moved inside the Clubhouse). Dining has been going strong and we love seeing the dining room full. Our new “Open Table” concept starts this Saturday night at 7 pm. If you want to meet up with friends but don’t have plans, you can choose “Open Table” when you make your reservation and we will help you join up with other members for a fun evening. We look forward to seeing you at A Taste of ACC on Friday, September 9 th , where we will be showcasing small plates prepared by ACC’s Culinary Team and featuring live music by Neal McHugh and the River Rats Band. Please continue to make reservations for lunch, dinner and special events so we can staff and prepare appropriately. We also ask that you print legibly on your chit so we can make sure statements are accurate. Thank you! Membership continues to grow, thanks in part to our members referring friends and colleagues. There are no restrictions on who can refer new members, so whether you are brand new yourself or you have been here your whole life, we encourage you to spread the word about ACC. You can use the Refer a Member form or reach out directly to Sara-Becca. If you’re enjoying your membership, think how much more fun you could have when you upgrade it. Whether it’s swimming at the pool, playing tennis or golf, if you felt that you missed out on any of the fun this summer, you can upgrade your membership so that you don’t miss out again! Contact Sara -Becca to help you find the best option for you and your family. Speaking of Sara-Becca, you may have seen her out taking photos throughout the summer to capture all the camps, clinics, events, and so much more. Many of the photos are posted on the member’s side of the website, under “ Photo Galleries .” You can also see what is happening at the Club all year round by following us on Instagram! It is a sincere pleasure for all of us on staff to serve you and help you get the most out of your ACC membership. If there is anything we can do to enhance your experiences here, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime. We appreciate your loyalty and commitment to Albany Country Club!

A Final Goodbye

Friday August 12 th will be my last day as your Golf Course Superintendent. For those of you that haven’t heard, I have accepted a position with Helena Agri as a Sales Representative. My family and I will be relocating down to Delaware as I begin a new chapter of my career in sales. I love the golf course business, and with this position I will still be able to visit and help other golf course superintendents as they plan and execute their own agronomic programs. There are few reasons that this opportunity was appealing to me, but probably the biggest one was that we would be closer to friends and family back in the Philadelphia area. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been your Golf Course Superintendent. The past seven and half years have been quite an experience for me and my family. All of you welcomed

and supported me from the start. I can say enough how much that meant to me. This job has been one of the great challenges of my life and I am proud of what we as a team have been able to accomplish during my time at Albany. I will take the relationships and memories made with me for the rest of my life. Thank you all for taking a shot on a guy from Philadelphia to manage this beautiful course. I wish everyone at Albany nothing but the best. For the final time, I had a great time seeing you out on the course.
