Dear Members,

It is hard to believe that Spring is on its WAY!

As you read your Edgewood View, you will notice a stock pile of events that our staff has carefully planned for the entire family and of course those much needed “adult” evenings.

Our Easter Celebration is the biggest member event of the year. I love the petting zoo! Hopper the Kangaroo will be making his 5th appearance here at ECC! I en-courage those who will be dining with us to make your reservations as we quickly acquire a waiting list for this event!

Other events planned are Etiquette and Cooking Classes, Seafood Buffet & Jazz Night, Doll & Me Tea, Final Four Party, Superintendent’s Revenge and of course Kid’s Clubs and Family Nights.

I will be soon starting my 5th year here at ECC and it has truly flown by. I will share with you my first evening at the club. It was the Annual Final Four Party in 2004 and the very first member I met was Mrs. Ann Smith and she was so kind and I thought this will be easy! A few minutes later, I met Mr. Dick Bradford who frightened me a little and made me sell squares off a board. He hounded me every 5 minutes to sell sell sell– I was a nervous wreck by the time I left that evening. Of course, I became a big fan of Mr. Bradford and so many other members who have been nothing but supportive to me during my tenure.

Let’s get gear up for a GREAT SPRING!

TEE TO THE GREEN Dear Edgewood Members,

Spring is coming & for many of you that means golf, golf, and more golf! We are ready to give you another great season at Derricks Creek. Drainage improvement will continue to improve playability. Look for landscape improvements & wild flowers in some of the natural areas to beautify your course. As always, we will do our best to minimize disruption of play as much as possible. I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding as we make these improvements.

We are renewing our certification with Audubon International’s Cooperative Sanctuary Program which means natural area expansion and six new Bluebird nesting sites. Edgewood has been an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary since 1993. The tradition of environmental stewardship at Edgewood is going to continue. With everyone’s continued support, Edgewood will remain an excellent example of a top condition course with sound environmental practices. We are one of only five courses in the state to reach this level.

2008 should be a season to remember. The staff and I continue to be committed to providing you with the best conditions. Grab your clubs and come see us out at Derrick’s Creek.

ECC HEALTH & WELLNESS

Evaluating diets and trends can be like picking a long shot at the Kentucky Derby. In recent years, the Adkins, South Beach and Perricone diets have had similar qualities with the focus being minimal fats, maximum greens and moderate proteins. I’m certainly not a registered dietician, but what I have seen over the years is that moderation is the key ingredient in all aspects of life . “Nothing new, right?” Eating properly and not feeling guilty will help you better manage your eating habits. Don’t feel badly when you treat yourself to something really decadent, Just don’t do it everyday. I’ve developed a Salmon Burger that’s high in protein and omega-3 fats and above all it tastes great! You might feel like you’re binging when actually you’re treating yourself to a healthy alternative. It’ll be featured in March’s lunch specials. I do hope you give it a try.

Ingredients:

3 lb Salmon Fillet, fresh, boneless, skinless, cut into 2 inch cubes (Wild Canadian Salmon is best…staying away from farm raised)

2 Tbl Capers, rinsed and chopped

1 Tbl Shallots, minced

1 Tbl Parsley, chopped

1 Tbl Tarragon, chopped

1 Tbl Basil, chopped

3 each Egg Whites

to taste Salt and Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. In a food processor, pulse in small amounts the above mixture. Mixture should be pulsed so the salmon remains in pea-sized chunks. Com-bine together and remix kneading for 10-15 seconds. Separate into eight equal portions. Season your grill well and spray your patty with a vegetable spray and cook to desired doneness.

FROM THE FITNESS ROOM On average, people gain between 9 and 11 pounds be-tween Thanksgiving and New Year's. No wonder losing weight is on the top of so many resolution lists! The three best things you can do to lose those extra pounds and get your body back are:

Breakfast: A morning meal helps boost your metabolism and keep your blood-sugar levels stable. This prevents you from becoming ravenous and making poor choices at lunch. Aim for a combination of protein and fiber to feel filled up on the fewer calories.

Fiber: Swap refined, white-flour products for high-fiber foods such as whole-wheat cereals and breads, fruit, vegetables, and beans. You'll add volume without overdo-ing calories.

Weights: Muscle burns more calories than fat. More muscle can help incinerate that belly. Try increasing the pounds you lift and/or your reps every trip to the gym.

Fitness Room Hours 5:30 am - 9:30 pm daily

Need Help Getting Started Call Michael @ 304 549 5477

NEW AT THE ECC SPA...

DERMAPLANING Helps to “refinish” the skin through a method of con-

trolled surgical scraping. The treatment gives the skin a smoother appearance by removing the top layer of skin and the “peach fuzz” which traps excess dirt and oil. Dermaplaning is most often used to improve the look of facial skin that has shallow acne scars, mildly

raised scars from accidents or previous surgeries, fine lines and hyperpigmentation. (brown spots). Make-up

will go on much smoother. You will Immediately feel a dramatic difference in the texture of your skin.

Dermaplaning—$55 Add enzyme or chemical peel—$65

Reminder—$10 Member discount
