Carmel Cares Initiative
Carmel Cares
A clubwide and member-driven program to promote and
encourage respect for every area of Carmel
Carmel Cares is a clubwide member-driven program designed to educate, inform and encourage respect for our Club and
shared Member experiences.This program has been created to raise awareness and change our culture so that each member cares for the condition of our facilities by showing courtesy and consideration for the experiences of fellow members.
Why are we doing this? We have invested millions of dollars in upgrading our golf, pool, fitness, and tennis facilities. The
pursuit of excellence is a tradition and mainstay of Carmel and one of the major reasons why so many families choose to be
a part of our Carmel community. Unfortunately, not everyone properly cares for our facilities. Ball marks are not repaired,
bunkers are not raked, trash is left behind on tennis courts and pool chairs. Carmel’s professional staff is held accountable
for properly preparing the facilities we all enjoy. It is up to us as members to hold each other accountable for the care of
those facilities while we use them, so that those who come behind us are able to enjoy excellent conditions as well.
In the coming weeks the “Carmel Cares” program will begin to share with you tips on how we can care for our facilities
and make the experience even better for everyone. Participation from all members in this program will further strengthen
the quality and pleasure we all take in our club.

TENNIS FACILITY UPDATE: CLAY COURT
CONDITION REPORT
Moving into our second summer season playing on the new
Har-Tru HydroCourts, we’re pleased to report that the courts
are playing and looking good, according to both membership
and outside analysis provided by Har-Tru. If you haven’t played
tennis at Carmel lately, what are you waiting for? The conditions are ideal and the weather is cooperating!
Tracy Lynch of Har-Tru visited Carmel in early May, evaluating court conditions, reviewing maintenance practices, and offering his advice and analysis for moving forward. His report
was excellent and our courts are performing very well. Lynch
met with Tennis Staff and Board Member Steve Carley, and the
bottom line was to “keep doing what you are doing” to the
courts.
Overall, the courts will take another couple years to fully cure,
typical for any new clay courts. Because the Har-Tru Hydro
Courts have increased capacity for retaining moisture, playability is increased over other types of clay courts, and maintenance needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Increased moisture eliminates the need for nighttime and midday watering cycles, thanks to the consistent saturation levels.
The HydroCourt requires more scarification and less rolling
than conventional clay courts, and routines must be adjusted
as weather demands. When the courts start to get hard and
slick late in the summer months, it’s time to increase the scarification routine. It is also recommended that we incorporate
the use of coarse blend in the summer months to help prevent
slickness on the courts.
The daily maintenance schedule includes continuing use of the
Court Rake early in the morning and steel drag broom at
mid-day, with adjustments as the court surface dictates. (The
more play, the more need for using the Gator Rake for both
morning and mid-day maintenance.)
Seasonally, the increased moisture
of the HydroCourts does present
increased chances of freeze/thaw
cycles that make courts unplayable. The best practice for trying to
keep them from freezing is to pull
the drain plugs and let the courts
drain as much water as possible
out of the cells when freezing temperatures are in the forecast. This
doesn’t guarantee the courts won’t More information here...
freeze, but could aid in the severity of the freeze thaw cycle.
Annually, the Har-Tru consultant recommended that we start to
have the courts top-dressed as a means to replace the material
that is removed from the court through natural playing conditions.
This process also allows for the high play areas (baselines/service
lines) to be patched, thus eliminating any low areas forming in the
court surfaces. The current plans are to assess conditions in the
fall and top-dress low areas at that time. Topping is also added
throughout the year as needed, and the courts are closely monitored.
Overall, as Board Member Steve Carley reported, Carmel is “on
the right track” with care and maintenance of our new clay courts.
Tennis Director Katie Carpenter and her team are very pleased
with how the new courts are playing and how the team at Carmel
is working to maintain them.
So if you haven’t been by the Tennis Facility lately, please stop by.
There’s plenty of room for spectators to enjoy both the tennis
and the gorgeous landscaping superbly maintained by our own Bill
Whitman of the Carmel Greens & Grounds Department. With
plenty of clinics and play dates for players of all levels, not to mention plenty of great spots to watch the action, we hope all Carmel
members will find time to enjoy our excellent Tennis Facility.
If you have any questions about the courts, or any aspect of the
Carmel tennis program, please contact the Tennis Shop or fill out
a Comment Card on the website.

BRIAN MURRAY’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY AT CARMEL
Brian Murray celebrated his 20 year anniversary with Carmel on May
18th. Brian is a favorite of many members and has spent many years
at Carmel putting forth great efforts to ensure that the Carmel dining
experience is memorable and enjoyable. Brian has done a wonderful job
over the years connecting with the membership and getting to know all
about their lives and the lives of their children. For him, this has certainly
been the most rewarding part of his lifetime commitment to Carmel
Country Club.
Brian’s food and beverage background was previously in the hotel business. His family was in the hotel business, and Brian was exposed to the
culinary arts and service at an early age. In Toronto he was the maître d’
at the Lord Cinacoe Hotel and The Gilde Inn for 17 years combined.The
country club industry was new to Brian when he arrived and he quickly
embraced the membership. Brian started at Carmel in 1993 as a Banquet
Captain. He oversaw banquets, the bar area, as well as Informal Grill. A
few years later he was promoted to maître d’ of the East Room, our
formal dining area at the time, where he spent 10 years ensuring that the
members’ fine dining experience was top notch.

Brian is an avid reader and movie buff. He also enjoys traveling, has been
