Final-Full Membership v1

MEMBERSHIPS AT CONTENTMENT

Dear Prospective Member,

When I consider what it feels like going home, I have a vision of the road into my
grandfather’s farm followed by laughter and conversation with friends and family
on his porch. Visits to my grandfather’s farm are some of the times I felt most
content. This feeling was not from wealth or material things. Quite the contrary,
it was from a belief that we have all we need, and that happiness is a result of
relationships with friends, family, and the Creator.

While I have had many great experiences in my life, there is always a longing to
get back to that simple contentment I learned from my grandparents and parents.

Those of you that know me well, know that I love golf, despite the fact that I am
not very skilled (yes, I know that is an understatement!). What I love about golf is
being in the outdoors and spending time with friends, family and meeting new
people. Some of my dearest relationships started on the golf course.

Additionally, sharing a meal together is the other way that I find connectedness
with people. Whether around my grandfather’s table eating home-grown
vegetables or enjoying the finest cuisine at a five-star restaurant, many of my
fondest memories have taken place over a meal.

After my grandfather’s death in 2004, I had the chance to purchase a portion of his
farm. I knew when I did, that someday I would build a golf club on the property
that would combine great golf, lodging and dining to create an atmosphere that I
had experienced growing up. While all of our facilities are designed to be world
class, the most important aspect of the club is the pursuit of that feeling of
connectedness, of coming home and of contentment.

Our club is named in honor of what I learned from my grandfather. That what
matters most is not our economic position, but the feeling of a job well done,
strong faith, and family and friends dearly loved. Simply put, contentment.

As you review the enclosed materials, I am hopeful something will resonate with
you, and you will join us as we build our own Contentment. A place where
members, staff and guests all feel like they are coming home. I look forward to
welcoming you to our club and seeing you welcome the rest of the Contentment
family.

Sincerely,

Curt Sidden
Founder

You are now entering a land of Contentment, whose waters rush out
bringing joy and happiness to everyone it touches.

CONTENTMENT PHILOSOPHY

As no rules can govern every situation, we thought it would be useful to give a philosophy.

Contentment, the club, was built to encourage the pursuit of Contentment. If your behavior
fosters Contentment, then you are on solid ground. If it doesn’t you should change.

Importantly, Contentment, the club, is supposed to feel like coming home to family. All
members, staff and guests are in the Contentment family. None are perfect. All are loved and
welcome. Act that way.

1. GENERAL CLUB RULES

1.1. The Club is to be used for recreational purposes only and is not intended
to be used as a place of personal business. Any solicitation of members by other members

a pleasant experience for everyone. Here are some suggestions:

• Do not waste time. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need and go directly
to your ball. Always be near your ball to play promptly when it is your turn. If
a player is delayed in making his shot, it would be courteous for such player
to indicate to another player to play which should not be deemed playing out
of turn.

• The time required to hole out on and around the green is a chief cause of slow
play. Study and clear the line of your putt while others are doing the same. Be
ready to putt when it is your turn.

• Be sociable but reserve your extended conversations for the 19th hole.

• When approaching a green, park your golf cart on the cart path on the best
direct line to the next tee. This can save about one-half hour per round. Never
leave the golf cart in front of the green where you will have to go back to get it,
while the following players wait for you to get out of the way.

• When play of a hole is completed, leave the green promptly and proceed to the
next tee without delay. Do the scoring for the completed hole while the others
in your group are playing from the next tee.

• If you are not holding your place on the course (see General Golf Rules), allow
the players behind to play through. Do the same if you stop to search for a lost
ball.

11

• Carefully rake sand traps after use.
