Holiday Greetings! I want
to first send a big thank you
from all the staff at St Ives for
the generous donations made
to the Employee Holiday
Bonus Fund. It is greatly appreciated and shows
how caring our Membership is!
If you have not already done so, please
be sure to make your reservations for our
New Year’s Eve party before it is sold out.
Details for the NYE party can be viewed at
www.stivesnewsletter.com or call the Club
Receptionist with any questions. This is a
fantastic event you don’t want to miss!
It is hard to believe that this year is almost
over. As I look back over 2013, I am proud
of the many improvements we were able to
accomplish for St Ives. Topping the list was
the major transition of our greens from Bent
grass to Bermuda grass, greatly improving year
round consistent playing conditions. This was
incredibly important to keep St Ives competitive
in the market place and also to continue in
maintaining our reputation as a “Premier
Country Club.”
No less important was the pool renovation that
included:
• Desperately needed increase in deck space
• Addition of a youth water park
• Addition of a second restroom facility
• A new Family Pavilion with ceiling fans, flat
screen TV’s, and electrical outlets for your
laptops
• An ”adults only” lounge area
• Increased green space
Again, from all of us at St Ives, we appreciate
everything you do as Members to make this a
special place to work. Wishing you a very, very
Happy New Year. Here’s to a wonderful 2014!
Sincerely,
John Gerdts

From the Membership Director
From the General Manager/COO
Dear Members:
Happy New Year!!!! Here we are
ringing in 2014, a year hopefully
full of opportunity and
optimism for you. Sending you
my best wishes for a wonderful
year with those you love, good
health, and success too!
Thank you very much to everyone who was part
of our Annual New Years celebration! It was a
beautiful event with the casino party and live
band back on the scene, and everyone had a great
time! We appreciate you sharing the evening with
us!
Again, I do want to thank our Members for
supporting the Club with your private parties in
December. We greatly appreciate your patronage
with your family and corporate events. It’s been
a great holiday season (although technically the
holidays aren’t over for me until Superbowl;
that’s when my tree comes down. Is that wrong??
LOL).
Here’s to 2014, and I hope that it’s your best year
ever!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Sincerely,
“Mel”

source for the Club, so please call us with any referrals for
potential events that we could bring to St Ives.

During the months of January and February we will

this opportunity to remind you that although we carry
a lot less inventory than a large retailer we carry all the
major brands and have the ability to special order any golf
related product that you can imagine. If there is any item
that we do not carry please ask a member of the staff if it
is an item that we would consider carrying. We will do
whatever we can to accommodate your needs. Our goal
is to provide you the same product at the same or lower
prices! We ask that you give us an opportunity to earn
your business and I can promise you 100% satisfaction.
Thank you in advance for the opportunity.

Pro Shop News
With the USTA season coming to a close, and
the Spring ALTA season being right around the
corner, stop in the Pro Shop and check out the
great selection of rackets from Babolat. For a
solid all-around racquet, try the Babolat Pure
Drive and Pure Drive 107, both give you a
slightly larger head size, providing you with a
bigger sweet spot.
For our up and coming juniors, we also carry
both the 25 and 26 inch Babolat Pure Drive
and Aero Pro Drive, either will excite your
inspiring junior player.
The Tennis Shop is pleased to provide our
Members with a great selection of apparel for
our ladies from Jamie Saddock. Her spring
colors are vibrant and fun providing you with
Capri pants to keep you warm during the cooler
weather and fun skirts for when the weather
begins to change.
We also stock apparel from Tail, Nike and
Adidas, if we do not have your size in stock, it
will be our pleasure to special order any item.
Warmer weather is approaching and although
there may still be a crisp feeling in the air on the
morning of your ALTA match, get warm with
St Ives Logo wear for both Men and Women.

CLINICS CONCLUDE THE
WEEK OF DECEMBER 16TH.
The 2013 Junior Tennis year was an extremely successful
year. St Ives produced 2 City Finalist and 5 Division
Winners in USTA and ALTA league play. The St Ives
Juniors placed 2nd in the Directors Cup and numerous
juniors improved their state rankings and won state
sanctioned tournaments. In 2014 we will keep on
pushing forward with the training program to keep the
titles at St Ives. 2014 will be packed with many events,
league play, and tournaments.
The 2014 USTA junior winter season kicks off Saturday,
January 11th 1pm. Good luck to all junior teams this
winter season, play hard and dress warm.
With this colder weather it is hard to think about Spring
ALTA, but if you would like your child to play in the
upcoming spring 2014 ALTA season, please register at
the Tennis Pro Shop. The registration deadline for the
spring 2014 season is Monday, January 20th.
Happy New Year,
St

The weather started off wet, but overall, we couldn’t have asked for better
weather for the 4th annual Junior Directors Cup. After all scores were
totaled, St Ives finished in 2nd place of the 2013 Directors Cup.
The St Ives Juniors Boys finished 2nd in the boys’ division and the St
Ives Girls finished 1st in their division but the overall team finished a few
games out of first place.
