Brick Campaign 100th Anniversary
THERE IS STILL TIME TO ORDER your brick or flagstone for the 100th Anniversary Patio & Entertainment Area. Due to overwhelming demand, the
campaign has been extended until December 1! To date we have received over 150 brick contributions by our SHCC Members! Your unique stamp on a brick
or flagstone will remain part of SHCC for the next 100 years. Please take the time, if you are inclined to order, to fill out the order form and
mail or deliver it to the Club. Bricks or flagstones can be ordered as a gift for Christmas, Father’s Day,
Mother’s Day, as an anniversary gift, or maybe even as a surprise. We have received inscriptions celebrating milestones, holes-in-one, club championships,
anniversary dates, family legacies and remembering loved ones. The $250 & $500 bricks will be placed in the walls surrounding the patio and the flagstones will make up the front of the fireplace. At our “Leap into the
Next 100 Years” party on February 29, 2020 we will hold a lottery to determine placement of the flagstones.
LET’S MAKE IT TO 200 BRICKS FOR THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY! DOWNLOAD THE ORDER FORM HERE

President’s Message
Fellow members: Welcome to November! Thanks to everyone who took the time to attend the Town Hall event last month. All Membership
classes were represented and our presentation on capital projects (past and future) was, by many accounts, well received. There is much to be excited for as we move closer to our 100th year Anniversary and all of its events. Please note the calendar on the back cover of this newsletter for those specific dates. 2019 at South Hills has been a rousing success. We have added and upgraded some 79 members this year! Our financial condition has never been stronger. We will be hosting the 2020 Pittsburgh Open in July and showing off our incredible golf course. Let’s keep up this incredible momentum and make next year even better. Best Regards, Christopher S. Blass

South Hills Country Club hosted a Town Hall meeting on October 23rd where all Club Members heard a summary of key accomplishments in 2019 and a preview of proposed capital projects for 2020. The meeting also included status updates on plans for the 100th anniversary celebration and the Brick Campaign. The following are a few of the highlights from the
Town Hall meeting: • The Brick Campaign has raised more than $70,000. Funds will be
used to construct a new Patio & Entertainment Area that will replace the existing fire pits. The deadline to purchase a brick or flagstone has been extended until December 1st.
• Chris Blass, Club President, reviewed the projects that were completed using proceeds from the capital fee that was initiated in 2016, including the Practice Range and Short Game area, the Men’s Locker Room, and the Family Dining Room improvements. All projects were completed within budget.
• 2019 capital projects and purchases that were completed with funds used from Club operations include new Ballroom windows, painting, carpet and wallcovering throughout the Clubhouse, HVAC improvements, new irrigation controls and Grounds equipment purchases.
• John Innocenti, Vice President, reviewed our excellent results in Membership enrollments and retention. We had growth in our primary membership classifications and will finish the year with a net gain in total membership dues for the first time in several years.
• The Board of Governors has proposed several projects for 2020 that would be funded through the existing capital fees. These projects include continuation of Forse Plan golf course improvements on Holes 5, 16 and 17, Ladies’ Locker Room renovations, Practice Range netting along Route 51, new Pool furniture, new floor on the Pool Sun Deck, an additional walk-in cooler, a new flat roof over the Dining Room, Clubhouse windows, Clubhouse entry doors, interior and exterior security cameras, and furniture for the Dining Room.
• An additional $400,000 of capital improvements will be funded through Club operations. These projects include Grounds equipment, kitchen equipment, new roofs on the Pro Shop and Ten Stand, Ballroom light fixtures, HVAC replacements and carpet for the Sam Parks Grille.
Transferable Members will receive a ballot to vote on borrowing money that will be repaid with capital fees to fund the projects described above. Ballots must be returned by November 6th. It was exciting to see so many Members attend and actively participate in the Town Hall meeting. Your enthusiasm as support is appreciated! Sincerely, Frank S. Hamschin, General Manager

From the Ladies’ Tee
The Women’s Golf Association closed our 2019 Season on
Tuesday, October 8. Closing Day winning team was LINDA
MARTIN, JOYCE COYLE & DEBBY RECKER. Way to go! Golf was
followed by a lunch and fall general membership meeting. We
enjoyed a delicious fall menu by Chef John. Most Improved
Golfers were recognized: Karen Evans (Over 22 HCP) and Beth
Smith (Under 22 HCP). Beth Smith was also mentioned as being
the golfer with the most rounds played for the year (66). Well
done!
I would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest WGA
member, Maureen Jacovino. She joined us for Closing Day lunch,
at which time she agreed to take the role of Social Chair for the
upcoming season! I know Maureen is already busy at work
keeping us informed of “all things social” on Facebook. She will
also take photos, send cards, and make notifications on Clubster
for WGA. Please join me in reaching out to Maureen with
information that needs to be shared among us. Also don’t be
afraid to introduce yourself, if you haven’t yet had the pleasure
of meeting Maureen. She’s ready to play some golf with us next
Spring!
In lieu of an end-of-season survey for the year, our group
has decided to implement a suggestion box on the counter in the
locker room. If you have ideas or feedback for me but will not be
in the locker room, please reach out to me directly via email, text
or Clubster. I certainly WELCOME your opinions and wish to
approach the new year with open ears. I love to work on new
ideas for improvement and also to celebrate the successes we
have had in the past.
Hopefully everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving
celebration this month. I hope you are all blessed with good
health, good family and good friends. Gobble gobble!
Respectfully submitted,
Amy Baloh
WGA President

November 2019 Page 15
October has been a very good month to the golf course in terms of weather. We have had a lot of dry days and plenty of play on the course. During the month of October, the Grounds Department has been very productive preparing the course for the cold/wet winter forecasters have predicted. The following is a list of tasks that that grounds department has successfully completed and a few that remain for our final winter preparations.
Completed Tasks: • Soil amendments – Applications of dolomitic lime, potash, magnesium
and nitrogen have been made to our greens per our soil tests results. It is imperative that our greens are as healthy as possible going into winter to reduce winter injury.
• Sand Topdressing – Multiple applications of sand topdressing have been made to our greens over the past few weeks. Topdressing helps insulate the crown of the grass plant throughout the winter months. Along with protecting the crown during the winter topdressing provides other benefits such as increased firmness, reduction of disease pressure, and stabilizes the moisture of turf/prevents moisture from getting lost to the environment.
• Venting – Our greens have been vented multiple times in the past month. Venting the greens helps promote deeper roots, reduce compaction, increase gas exchange to the rootzone and helps remove surface water during the winter months.
Tasks Ahead: • Snow Mold Applications – Winter snow mold applications will be made
to our greens, approaches, tees and fairways. These applications are made right before the onset of plant dormancy (late November/early December). Pigments are also sprayed with snow mold applications to help fend off plant desiccation. Proper applications made during this time will also help aid spring green up.
• Irrigation Winterization – Before nighttime temperatures drop below freezing our irrigation system is drained and blown out using a compressor. Along with the irrigation lines our pumphouse, drinking fountains, and pond pumps are all put through a winterization process. We will look to have all our winterization completed before thanksgiving.
• Deep-Tine - We will deep-tine our greens one final time before the onset of winter. We will leave these holes open all winter to facilitate the movement of water off the putting surfaces preventing it from freezing.
It is hard to believe winter is almost here. I am very thankful to my staff as they have made my first full season at South Hills not only fun but successful. As a manager, I am only as good as the people around me. I can say the Grounds staff we have is hands down the best I have worked with during my professional career. Thank you for the opportunity to be your Golf Course Superintendent, and I am looking forward to next golf season. Best Regards, Bryan Flaherty, Golf Course Superintendent

9 Hole Event Event: Chapman-Twosome (60% of low hdcp. + 40% of high) partners both drive from each tee. Each plays a second shot with the other’s ball. After the second shot, a choice is made regarding the ball with which the hole will be completed. Alternate shots continue until holed out. A good rule of thumb is that you’ll never hit your own ball twice in a row.
