T
he Mad Hatter’s Tee Party Women’s Member Guest was a great success. There was
some pretty amazing headwear adorned during
this event. Thank you to all of you who played
in the tournament and a special thank you to
tournament co-chairs Edith McBean, Ardene
Fullerton, Rochelle Neal and Jane Gayer. Your
creativity and hard work were appreciated by all!
Thank you also to all the volunteers that helped
with this event and congratulations to ALL the
winners.
Over the next few weeks you will likely see or
hear promotions in the local media regarding our
fall membership campaign. There is still plenty of
great golf and social events at the club throughout
this year. Please keep spreading the word about
what a great Club you all have!
Over the past few weeks we have contested the
men and women’s Club Championships. Congratulations to all the winners and to the overall
Champions:
James Chrisman
Men’s Club Champion
Don Miller
Senior Men’s Club Champion
Hi Becker
Super-Senior Men’s Club Champion

The Glen Goes Global Tasting and Auction
(Glen Gives) is fast approaching; September 15!
It is amazing to think of all the money that has
been raised since this event began for families and
those in need in Central Oregon. Congratulations to all of you and the many dedicated people
who put this event on each year. Thank you!
September is a full month, with many member
golf events, small golf groups, and hosting the
Oregon Women’s Golf Association tournament.
Please “look ahead” on Foretees to plan your golf
this month. Heading into fall, this is an opportune time to still get in many rounds of golf,
invite your friends out to play, and work on your
game.
Take care and we look forward to seeing you at
the club soon!

S
eptember has arrived at Awbrey
Glen, which means it’s time to get in
the last long days of the summer here at
your Club. Whether your golf game is
primed for more play, the kids still want
to go to the pool, or you can’t get enough
of the delicious food in the restaurant,
Awbrey Glen Golf Club is here to provide
you with lasting experiences.
Thanks to all 70 of you who attended
the New Member’s Reception this past
August at the pool! It was great to see everyone get the chance to mingle and meet
new couples and families while enjoying
tasty hors d’ oeuvres hosted by Chef Darrin’s culinary team.
As the fall golfing season is upon us, it
is time to gear up for our Fall Membership Marketing Campaign. To celebrate
our 20th Anniversary, we are creating a
very attractive membership offering this
fall for prospective Journey Members.
You as a referring Member will be well
taken care of for your recruitment efforts.
Don’t let a $300 referral credit pass you
by. We want your friends, neighbors, and
co-workers who are interested in mem-
bership opportunities here at the Club to
“Come take a Journey with us at Awbrey
Glen!” It’s a membership offer that will
be hard for them to refuse.
Coming up in early October (Sunday,
October 6) is the first of our Sunday
“Fall to Spring” Family themed dinner/event nights. Open to all kids and
adults, these themed events will include
a selected game or event for the kids and
a specific themed dinner selection that
will rotate monthly. The event planned
for October will be an Animated Movie
Night for the kids. Be watching for upcoming emails this September highlighting the specifics of the evening.
Stay in-tune with your club through our
website, www.awbreyglen.com, and open
club emails; we don’t want you to miss
any upcoming golf or social event. We
look forward to seeing you at the club
this September.

I
would like to take a moment and talk
about the aerification of the greens
scheduled for September 10 and 11. For
those of you unfamiliar with the process,
a large machine is used to remove “cores”
from the green surface. Removal of the
cores reduces thatch, allows increased
water penetration and gas exchange, and
improves overall root zone soil structure.
The holes are then filled with topdressing sand to smooth and firm up the
surface. We will be utilizing ½" tines,
which actually leave a 3/8" hole. By using
a special attachment, more of the tines
can be installed on the machine, allowing
us to remove more material while leaving a smaller hole. The smaller the hole,
the faster they will heal in! This is an
essential part of agronomic practices and
is crucial to the long term vitality of our
greens.
From The Restaurant
H
ow did it get to be September
already? Our hot days and long
nights are behind us, but we still have
some gorgeous fall weather to enjoy our
patio! Just remember that it is getting
dark earlier so you’ll want to adjust your
reservations so you aren’t eating in the
dark. Our fire pits are starting to see a lot
of use —what a great way to take the fall
chill off!
We have our next Music and Libations on
Friday, September 21, featuring the band
“Broken Down Guitars”. It’s a busy, fun
night and we hope you’ll join us from 4 –
6 p.m. and then stay for dinner!
July 2013 ACE Award Winner
We are still looking for member recipes
that we can try out and serve as some
of our specials. If you or someone you
know has a recipe that might be a good
fit, just drop it by or email it to Darrin@
awbreyglen.com. Dennis Sienko’s recipe,
Braised Duck with Asher Zinfandel, was
a huge success last month. This special
alone generated just under $400.00 of
revenue for the club—way to go, Dennis!
This was also very exciting for the kitchen
and fun to prepare.
Gail Moulton & Chef Darrin
I hope you all will have the opportunity
to enjoy some rounds this September,
when the golfing weather is usually at its
best! As always, feel free to contact me
with any questions that you may have.

W
e are happy to announce July’s
Awbrey Glen Golf Club ACE
(Awbrey’s Circle of Excellence) award
winner:
Kathy Short has been
working at Awbrey
Glen since March of
2011 as our Administrative Assistant. The
person who nominated
Kathy wrote:
“Kathy Short is an exemplary member
of our Awbrey Glen Team. She is always
cheerful and upbeat with a welcoming
smile to greet members, guests and fellow employees. She has that “can do it”
attitude and she really does “ do it” for
all of us, going out of her way to help in
whatever way she can. Giving 110% is
nothing new to Kathy, but her dedication
and hard work really stand out when she
volunteers to help at member events. The
Grand Opening of the 5th Hole is a perfect
example—she spent the entire day moving tables, setting up and cleaning up, and
even volunteered her husband as well!”
Kathy consistently exemplifies the core
values we expect from our staff here at
Awbrey Glen. Thank you Kathy—we appreciate you and your “can do” attitude!
Also receiving a nomination for the
month of July was Jaron Barendse. Jaron
was recognized for being very helpful,
positive, and friendly with members and
guests. Thank you, Jaron!
Please help me in congratulating Kathy as
the July ACE award winner!
