FROM THE DESK OF THE G.M.
BY ALLEN SELF,
GENERAL MANAGER
Greetings Carrollwood Members,
It is truly amazing how fast the year is flying by. As we are entering the hottest two months
of the year activity has settled into the normal pace of our Florida summer months. The
positive to the slower months is that it allows us to correct issues that need to be addressed
but are put on hold due to being busy. Some examples would be aerification of the golf
course greens, major repairs to the wooden deck traveling to and from the clubhouse and
between nines, re-grouting of the sauna inside the men’s locker room, repairs to multiple
plumbing and drainage issues inside the clubhouse, and repairs to all ceiling fans located
on the outside clubhouse terrace. As we all know there is good and bad to everything, and
although the heat brings with it much slower activity throughout the club it does allow us
to conduct preventative maintenance on and off the golf course.
In recent weeks I have spoke to members that have voiced their concern about the
conditions of the putting surfaces on the golf course. Their comments have been centered
on their concern that a particular green appears to have a disease, or that we have an
infestation of insects eating the grass. Our golf course continues to be in great shape
and more importantly very healthy. The weak areas that you see on a few of our putting
surfaces were created during our aggressive aerification process followed by an aggressive
verticutting of the greens. When verticutting the putting surfaces the blades pulled a few
areas of turf up and temporarily damaged the surface. This will all heal in fairly quickly
and is sometimes part of the preventative maintenance process of aerification. The most
important thing I would like you to know is that we have very healthy putting surfaces
and will be in very nice condition once we heal from the preventative maintenance
projects over the summer. It is a process that we must do and will result in the very nice
putting surfaces you have become accustomed to over the past few years.
I would like to take a moment to boast about our staff here at Carrollwood Country
Club. When arriving at Carrollwood back in January of this year I quickly noticed the
excitement level and the interest of the staff when meeting about the preparation of
our upcoming Independence Day Celebration. At the writing of this article we had not
reached the date for the event but our key department heads have spent many hours
getting ready for the 4th annual Independence Day Celebration. As you probably
are already aware all staff members are involved at some level with the event. With
cooperation from Mother Nature it will not only match but hopefully exceed the success
of our past Independence Day Celebrations. It is a great time to be a part of Carrollwood
Country Club and our Independence Day Celebration is a good example of what our
staff can produce as a team.
It continues to be an exciting time to be a member at Carrollwood Country Club. Our
membership has continued to grow at quite a brisk pace throughout the hot summer
season. I will continue to pay close attention to what I hear when speaking to the
membership and we will attempt to make adjustments when possible. I thank you for
making this a successful year and look forward to seeing you at the club.

news
From the Golf Shop
BY DAREN JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF GOLF
Carrollwood Country Club Members,
Summer is in full effect…hot humid days with a lot of rain.
However, the club has still been very active which is great to see.
We actually had a record month in May with over 3,600 rounds of
golf; compared to May 2014 were we played 2,700 rounds of golf.
As we progress through the summer, you will see several new faces
within the golf operations. As many of you already know, Shawn
has moved into the golf operations as an Assistant Golf Professional.
Shawn will still be teaching, however, he will work his teaching
availability around the needs of the golf operation. Another change
we have made is Alex Barfield has been promoted to an Assistant
Golf Professional. Alex has been with Carrollwood for four years
and recently decided he would like to continue his growth in the
golf business and has started on his PGA bookwork. I am excited
to have both Shawn and Alex in these roles because they know
our members and will help us continue to provide a great golf
experience at Carrollwood Country Club.
A few other new faces you will see on staff are: Hannah, Ryan,
Blake and Mike.
Hannah is coming on board as an Assistant Golf Professional.
Hannah will work closely with the WGA and also help us grow our
junior golf program. Ryan, Blake and Mike will all work outside
operations and all have experience at other golf facilities throughout
the Tampa Bay area. We lost 4 great individuals at the end of last
season, Jeff, Jimmy, Josh and Scott, but I believe the following
additions and promotions will be great for the golf operations as
we prepare for another great season at Carrollwood Country Club.
Fall will be here before you know it! Mark your calendars with the
following dates as these dates have been finalized for some marquee
events at CCC.

BY JIM KELLY, TAC DIRECTOR
From The Tennis & Aquatic Center
Here at the TAC we are having a great summer so far and hope everyone else
is as well! It’s about half way over now, and we all know how warm it gets in
Tampa during July and August, so what better way to cool off than join us at
the pool for a refreshing swim or frozen drink from the Oasis Bar & Grille?
Smoothies, Milkshakes or an ice cold beverage are just a few of the goodies
offered for a quick cool down. The best and fastest way to cool down, on
weekends through August 2nd, is on our giant inflatable waterslide. It will be
open Saturdays and Sundays, weather permitting, from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
It is also available to rent for your private pool parties and more.
You can stay cool poolside in one of our Pool Cabanas. They are available for
rent, but when not rented, they are available on a first come first serve basis.
Swim Lessons, Tennis Lessons and Resort Sports Camp spots are still available
for this summer. Just stop by the TAC front desk and register for an upcoming
Class or Camp. Classes and Camps are being offered through the end of July!
Our staff is always trying to improve your experience at the TAC here at
Carrollwood. If you have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate
to stop by the front desk and ask for one of our comment cards. I can assure
you that each one is seen by management.
Finally, a new offering from the TAC is our Thai Massage. It is available
by appointment only on Wednesdays, from 6:00-9:00 pm. These massages
are offered by Jaclyn Devine, who is also our Yoga Instructor. You can opt
for 60 or 90 minute session which will be customized to you needs. Thai
massage gives relief from migraines, sprains, anxiety and improves sleep &
flexibility. You can give the TAC Desk a call for more information or to set
up an appointment.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and we hope to see you at the TAC soon!

Backyard Swimming Pool Safety
A backyard pool is a great place for your family to hang out and take a break
from the heat. Summer is in full swing and backyard pool season is also.
Even though, backyard pools are fun, they are a safety hazard for children.
Life-threatening dangers can turn deadly in an instant if the proper safety
precautions are not taken ahead of time. Each year hundreds of accidents
occur in backyard swimming pools, and some of them are deadly.
Every pool owner is responsible for making sure that their pool is as safe as
possible for everyone that enters their backyard.
to breathe. If you are using a pool cover, make sure to completely remove
it from the pool when it’s time to go swimming. It is equally important to
make sure everyone is out of the pool before you put the cover back on.
Keep Away From Drain Filtration
Pools should have an anti-vortex cover on all pool drains. However, just
because these drain covers should be installed, it does not mean that all pools
will have them- especially older pools.
Follow these safety tips below to help ensure your backyard pool is safe.
Since it is always better to be cautious, make sure you inform your children
to keep their hands and hair away from the drains in the pool. A child’s finger
or hair can get sucked into a drain without an anti-vortex cover.
Install A Fence
It is essential to have a fence around your swimming pool. Having a fence
around your pool will prevent anyone from swimming in it that isn’t supposed
to. Make sure that the fence is at least 42 inches high and has a self-closing and
latching gate. This will ensure that the gate is never left open.
Be Vigilant and Informed
It is important that one adult is always in charge of watching children in the
pool. If you are in charge of supervising the children, make sure that you do
not get distracted. Your only focus should be on keeping the children in the
pool safe.
The latch should be high enough so that it is not reachable by small children.
It is also important to make sure that children cannot climb the pool fence.
If you have a pool in your backyard, you should also know how to perform
CPR and First Aid in case an emergency does occur. It is important to be
prepared for an emergency.
Studies have shown that a barrier separating a pool from the home reduces a
child’s risk of drowning by 83%.
Completely Remove The Pool Cover
Pool covers can be extremely dangerous. If a pool cover is not removed from
the pool all the way, a child can get stuck underneath it and will be unable
Drowning is preventable, and it is your duty to make sure that your family
and loved ones stay safe around the water. Taking these necessary precautions
for your backyard pool will help ensure that your loved ones are safe.

CVST Has 6 of Their Toughest Take On Hurricane-Man
Six athletes from the Carrollwood Village Swim Team (CVST) set foot on the
powder white sands of Pass-a-Grille beach, tattooed with sharpie numbers,
and surrounded by T-shirts reading, “Anything else is just a sponge bath.” The
annual Hurricane Man 2.4 mile rough water swim is always a race to be looked
forward to at Carrollwood because open water race opportunities are so few.
Madison Houck (10) started us off swimming the 1000m race placing first in
her age group finishing in a swift time of 16:37.00, setting a high standard for
her teammates swimming the 2.4 mile race. Daryl Pickerell (16) stole the show
battling for the first place finish in his age group to win in a time of 45:46.00.
Following him, for CVST, was teammate Abby Forman (13) swimming the
race for the first time in an impressive 48:28. Shortly after, Emma Volz (20)
finished in 49:42 to win her age group and Maria Zambito (20) finished in
51:29 to place second.. Allan Edwards (40), a CVST parent who swims with
the CVST Senior Group represented CVST well placing second in his age
group with a final time of 50:30.00.
Congratulations to all of the athletes for their performances! There’s nothing
like a tough open water swim to prepare a swimmer for long course season.
Hurricane-Man - Early morning prior to Race
Abby Forman, Emma Volz,
and Maria Zambito
Sean Kenny (10) - In one of the tightest races in the
history of the CVST swimmer of the month Sean Kenny (10) edged out Abby Forman (13) 74.71 seconds

Sean started off the month at St. Petersburg North
Shore Pool at the Boys and Girls Club Nationals where
he swam to best times in his 100 Freestyle, 200 Freestyle, 500 Freestyle, 50 backstroke, and 200 yard IM.
Sean’s biggest drop came in his 500 Free (6:56.18) where
he dropped a whopping 52.76 seconds. Sean followed
up his Boys and Girls Club performance by swimming
to best times in 4 out of 4 events in the CVST Blue/
Green meet. Sean finished off the month at the Tampa
Yacht and Country Club pool by swimming to 2 out of 3
best times. Great job Sean and keep up the good work.
MAY 2015
Sean Kenny (10) - For the second consecutive month,
the CVST coaching staff has named Sean Kenny (10)
as it’s swimmer of the month. For the month of May,
Sean swam in two meets and swam to best times in his
50 and 1000 yard Freestyle, 50 yard Breaststroke, and
50 yard Butterfly. Sean’s best swim came at the CVST
vs Hunters Green Country Club dual meet where he
dropped an incredible two minutes and twenty-three
seconds in his 1000 yard Freestyle 14:16.99. Way to go
Sean and keep up the good work.

Improve Your Game by Playing More Mini-tennis
Players of all ages should play more mini-tennis
to accelerate their athleticism faster than regular
tennis. Professional players like former number one
French player Gael Monfils grew up playing hours
and hours of mini-tennis and still use imini-tennis
in their training programs. Perhaps the best minitennis player in the world, Monfils is incredibly
creative ,amazingly fast and has a massive wing-span.

Djokovic playing an advance version of mini-tennis

Hit far more balls than you would from the baseline. In most cases,
players hit hundred more while playing mini-tennis. Remember it’s how
many balls a player hits that makes them good -- not how many years
they’ve owned a tennis racket.
* “Fine tune” your ball control and use more spin and pitch control
(opening and closing of the racket) for better direction.
Improve footwork -- being a shorter distance to your opponent gives you
less time to react to the ball making you have to move quicker with small
efficient steps.
CCC tennis members and doubles partners Karen Mace and Gina
Morgan also use mini-tennis to speed up their ball control skills. Anyone
watching them play recently can see that they are improving daily!
Learn the importance of keeping the ball deep and punishing your
opponents short ball.
* Develop Topspin - to hit topspin in mini-tennis, one has to increase
their upward swing enough to make the ball spin down in order to land
in the shorter court.

From the Golf Course Superintendent
We recently completed the first of three aerifications to the golf
courses. Although we have seen many positives from the aerification
I am disappointed to report that we did have some damage done
to greens 5 and 6 of the pine course. The damage was caused by
a process called verticutting. This procedure is something that
we have done here in the past and have always had great results.
Unfortunately, we did not achieve the desired results this time and it
will be about two weeks(July 4th weekend) until all the areas are filled
in. Overall the agronomic work that we have done to the greens has
been extremely positive and beneficial both above ground and below
ground. While the aerification procedure is disruptive to the playing
surface, it is critical to the health of our greens. The aerification
protocol that we follow is based upon recommendations from the
breeder of Champion. We are attempting to address some of the issues with the bunkers not
draining and unfortunately what we are finding is that many of the
pipes that lead out of the bunkers to our drainage infrastructure have
collapsed under the weight of the soil above them. We also have tried
blowing out the drainage lines using a high pressure hose but are having
mixed results. We will continue to work on this problem throughout
the summer.
As we move further into the summer months and the rainy season, I
would like to thank you in advance for your understanding when we
must restrict the carts to paths only due to the wet conditions. We
will lift the restriction as soon as possible.
