September arrived and brought with it some of the hottest temperatures we've seen all
summer. Labor Day weekend was a huge success for the club, our pool, tennis courts and golf
course were packed. The long weekend was kicked off with the best crab feast in Argyle
history where we hammered down 25 bushels of jumbo crabs from Shoreline Seafood. Other
great food including oysters, clams, BBQ chicken, burgers, dogs, sausage with peppers &
onions, hush puppies and deserts were also on the menu. Flying Dog pitched a tent and
provided ice cold draft beer and there was a full service bar for those interested. No one left
hungry or thirsty. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday were hot and humid and when outdoor fun
was done for the day, members enjoyed great food, ice cold drinks and the best service in
town in the 1945 Grille. .
The course has healed beautifully following the aerification last month, it has been a great
year overall. We are working hard to keep up with the rough as it continues to grow like
crazy. We have installed additional drainage along the back of #8 tee which should dry it out
and improve the quality.
We had a great meeting earlier this month which included representation from each
department of the club: greens, swim, membership, social, facilities, tennis and golf. The
purpose of the meeting was to finalize a master list of departmental needs for the future.
During the meeting, we discussed the process of how capital dollars are spent at the Club
and how the Board determines what projects will be approved. Like any household, we have
limited dollars to spend and we have to prioritize where the dollars are spent each year.
Below are the rankings for how the Board determines where each dollar should go.
1. What management needs to operate the club, for example, HVAC units, ovens,
exterior paint, computer equipment etc… things we need to run the facility on a day
to day basis.
2. Safety or compliance issues we need to address, for example, tripping hazards in the
old staging area, pot holes, pool drains etc…
3. How will each project increase member satisfaction and retention along with
increasing membership growth opportunities?
4. Aesthetics – If the item is functional but could be refreshed, for example lobby and
locker room furniture?
We have made many great improvements over the past few years and we will continue to
listen to each committee’s recommendations moving forward.
The mood around the club continues to be positive and enthusiastic. As school is back in
session, many of our summer employees have said goodbye. I would like to thank all of the
employees for their hard work this summer in making Argyle a truly enjoyable place to be. It
is great to see our members and guests enjoying the club as much as they have this summer.
If you know of any friends, family members, poker buddies, neighbors or anyone else that
would make a great addition to our club, now is a great time bring them out to see what
everyone is talking about. Please let me know and I will personally arrange a tour with our
Membership Director, Stephanie Meinhardt.

My favorite part about being Membership Director is seeing the
cooperation and effort from all of the members in this club toward
recruiting new members.
As you already know, a referral is the highest honor a club can receive
from a member. If you know someone that you think would be the right
fit for your club and would recognize the great benefits that Argyle has to
offer, I would love to hear all about them. Send me an email, give me a
call or fill out a membership referral form with your prospective
member’s name, number and email.
When I receive your referral, I will provide them with a membership
packet and invite them to experience the Argyle that we all know and
love, whether it is offering them a free round of golf on our beautiful
course, or a free dinner in our relaxing restaurant. Let’s all work
together and make this fall a great season for member recruitment.

Local is the new black. These days, food we eat travels an average of 1,300 miles to
reach our tables and I am attempting to break the cycle. I have been looking into
Community Supported Agriculture or CSA. What this does is promote dialogue
between the farmers and the consumers which helps encourage a sense of
community. Participants or investors or shareholders, whichever term you like, get
to know exactly where their food comes from and have a vested interest in the land
their food is raised on and the growers who handle it. The CSA brings consumers
and farmers together in a relationship of mutual support when each member makes a
tangible commitment to support the farm throughout the season. In return, members
receive a weekly box of fresh, local, sustainable, environmentally-sound produce from
late spring though early fall. The partnership allows the farmer to provide a wide
variety of produce of the highest quality while keeping costs at or below supermarket
prices. I am really pushing toward this “fresh” movement and I think that this is
something that will set Argyle Country Club member dining above the rest. I am
always open to feedback. (chef@argylecc.net) Thanks for your support!

Kudos to our around-the-town winners. Stef Herndon and Lisa Splaine both qualified
for the championship flight of the Women’s District of Columbia Golf Association
(WDCGA). Unfortunately, they had to play each other in the first round. Stef won
what was a rematch of their Argyle Women’s Championship final. Stef then went on
to win more matches and found herself in the final. We are proud she went so far al-
though she lost so narrowly in the final.
Shortly after winning the Mixed Club Championship with husband Phil, Jane Curtin
was all warmed up for a career low. As described by Carol Davies “Playing today in
the WDCGA Anniversary Tournament at Bethesda C.C., Jane shot her career round,
a 1-under par 71. This round included seven birdies. Jane birdied her first four holes.
On her final 18th hole she flew her sand wedge into the cup after two bounces for her
final birdie of the day. It was quite a spectacular display of golf by one of our own. By
the way, our team won the tournament!”. Team members included Jan Calomaris
from Congressional, Lisa Splaine and Carol Davies.
In a Maryland Women’s Division tournament at Musket Ridge, Maggie Whall and
Sharon Burlas emerged as runners up in their division.
The results of the Lieze Moffett 36-hole Medal Tournament were:
Low Net - Jen Hicks & Carol Davies
Low Gross - Carol Davies
Ringer - Kathy Musser
Carol shot a 74 on Saturday and Jen broke 90 for the first time in an 18-hole round at
Argyle. Way to go Carol and Jen!
Congratulations to July tournament winners! Winners in the Two-lady Tournament
were:
Overall - Stef Herdon & Diane Herndon
Format Winners -Laura MacDonough & Gail Kullman
Better Ball - Maggie Whall & Melly Tucker
Pinehurst - Ivy Holsey & LeeAnn Jensen
Scramble - Anne DuMont and Jen Hicks.
The Grandmothers Tournament was won by Arlene Ward, first low net, and Kathy
Musser, second low net. Ivy Holsey was the winner of a purple Nike golf bag in the
Rally for the Cure 17th Hole contest benefitting Susan G. Komen.

Born and raised in Montgomery County, Maryland, Jordan started working at Argyle in October of 2013. She is
currently enrolled at Bowie State University and will be graduating in May 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in
marketing.
Jordan landed her first paid internship with Enterprise Holdings this summer, which is one the largest rental car
companies in the today’s market - a great accomplishment!
Jordan has three goals that are most important to her:
-be one of 6 adults on her mother’s side of the family to graduate from college
-obtain a job in her field of study and receive her first promotion within two years of working for the company
-be able to help support her mother and father financially once they retire to help relieve the stresses that accompany
retirement age
In her spare time, Jordan loves to play and referee soccer, her favorite sport she started
playing at the age of six. Jordan also played on a traveling club team and spent four years
as a varsity starter in high school. When she isn't playing the game, she enjoys watching it
on ESPN. Her two favorite hobbies are watching sports and playing Xbox.
At Argyle, Jordan enjoys the different interactions with the members. “The members are
very friendly and have very great personality, which makes it easier to want to come to
work an do your best job,” Jordan says. “I also have learned a lot since starting at Argyle
about the customer service industry, especially when it comes to food services and
relating it back to my studies in school as well.”
Congratulations to Jordan Washington for earning Employee of the Month - a prize well-
earned for consistently providing the highest level of service to our members.
