1 Princess Anne Living | September/October 2016

Up-to-Date from the General Manager

The next eight pages contain pictures and brief bios of new members that have joined the Club
in the last few months. Forty-one new families have become part of the Princess Anne Family
this fiscal year, many of them joining under the Centennial Membership Program that just
ended. We welcome these ladies and gentlemen into the Princess Anne Family.

I am so fortunate to work alongside and learn from so many outstanding team members and
devoted Club Member volunteers each day. I’m inspired each year as close to one hundred
Members lend their precious time and expertise to our Committee and Board governance
structure. Occasionally, the President will appoint a special ad-hoc committee, and that was
the case over two years ago when then President Beck appointed the Centennial Committee.
Working with this special group of ladies and gentlemen has been a true joy and a very special,
fulfilling and inspiring experience. Chaired by Dr. Andy Dickinson, Gary Beck, Kristen
Bunting, Chris Fanney, Jennifer Garrott, David “Dippy” Pender, Marcy Sims, and President Jay
Standing synergized as the Centennial Committee. When recognized, each of these humble
volunteers deflect any praise and extend their gratitude to the hundreds of Club Members who
shared memories, images and memorabilia with the author and publisher of the Princess Anne’s
Reflections of the First One Hundred Years Centennial Book. It is my personal hope that you will
treasure and enjoy your copy of the book with deep Princess Anne pride and take a moment to
extend your personal gratitude to these Committee Members when you see them at the Club.

Six hundred and sixteen Members completed the membership survey and our operations team
continues to implement action plans developed from the results. A two page results summary is
inside this issue and a twenty two minute video presentation that reviews results was emailed to
all members. Thanks again to all who took time to complete the survey.

It is bittersweet to prepare this fall issue as it marks the end of another fun-filled Princess
Anne summer. Special thanks to the parent member volunteers and team members who devoted
countless hours to enhance our summer junior programs and congratulations to each young
member who participated.This issue is packed with pages recognizing youngsters. We wish each
the very best as a new school season begins.

As you begin making your fall and holiday plans we encourage you to consider your Club for any
type of special occasion. Whether it is a private meeting for two or celebration for two hundred,
we would welcome the opportunity to host your event. Please take a moment today to check
your calendar and contact our Director of Catering and Special Events McCall Andy, mccall@
princessannecc.com or (757) 440-3101, to plan your event. As always, as you have thoughts and
questions about your club please do not hesitate to contact me on my direct line (757) 440-3100
or via e-mail at [email protected].

See you at the Princess Anne!

Membership Update

Rules Updates l Guest Policy Change & New Significant Other Policy

In June 2016, the Board of Directors approved a change to the club’s guest rule.The change was primarily administrative and

Subject to these Rules and Regulations, the facilities and privileges of the Club may be extended to the guest of any
member, without regard to the guest’s sex, race, creed, color or national origin.

a calendar month and twelve times per calendar year, and (ii) up to six times per year for golf, tennis, swimming or fitness.
Guest privileges cannot exceed the privileges of their escort.

All resident guests must be accompanied by a member, and such member shall guarantee payment of any applicable guest
fees and charges established by the Board of Directors. Resident guests are prohibited from inviting other guests to the

Faust is a tribute to Napa Valley’s noblest grape; full-bodied, decadently
rich and unctuous Cabernet Sauvignon. Faust sources Cabernet

Sauvignon grapes from Agustin’s family vineyards in Rutherford and

together and the final Quintessa blend is created.

SCOT T MASON

FEATURE REPORTER WRAL-TV

Scott is the son of long-time PACC members, Scott and Caroline Mason. His presentation will
take us behind the scenes of his travels throughout North Carolina as the “Tar Heel Traveler.”

Awards & Recognition:
Winner of more than 100 journalism awards, to include: National Edward R. Murrow Awards;
regional Emmys; the Gabriel Award, the National Headliner Award and two North Carolina TV
Reporter of the Year awards.

News Philosophy:
Great characters make great stories. And they are, after all, stories, not just news reports. The
best stories have twists and turns and surprises and snappy writing. There should be room for
that in news. Creativity is the spice of storytelling.

These are stories Scott Mason has reported for WRAL-TV in Raleigh and which he writes about in
his new book, Tar Heel Traveler: Journeys Across North Carolina (Globe Pequot Press, Oct. 2010).

The book is a blend of oral history and memoir with a good dose of quirky humor. It takes its
name from Scott’s nightly feature series on WRAL. He’s the TV reporter – the Tar Heel Traveler –
who journeys across North Carolina profiling colorful characters and out-of-the-way places.

“The player is the sole judge as to whether or not a ball is unplayable.”

OTHER POINTS

• If the ball lies in a water hazard or lateral water hazard, the
Unplayable Ball Rule cannot be used.

• If the ball lies in a bunker and the player chooses either option b
(drop behind the ball) or c (drop within two club-lengths) the ball
must be dropped in the bunker.

• The player is the sole judge as to whether or not a ball is unplayable.

• Other than in a water hazard, the player may declare her ball
unplayable anywhere on the golf course.

• Suggesting to another player that she declare her ball unplayable is
considered “advice” under the Rules. If the players are not partners,
the player giving advice would be penalized.

Until next time, keep the questions coming!

This year we launched our new junior golf academy program and have received
rave reviews! This program utilizes the Operation 36 platform by iGrowGolf.
This curriculum develops junior golfers by progressing them through six levels,
each having 12 badges to be earned, with the ultimate goal of the golfer shooting
36 or better from their desired tee. Included with the platform is a mobile app
which will be used to educate juniors and track their progress through the levels.
Dates and times are subject to change. Please call the Golf Shop at 422-3360 to

Tennis Talk

We couldn’t have picked a more important year in our club’s history, our centennial year, to have a more successful Cup
season thus far with us winning back to back Cup events for the very first time! In the 16 year history of the Fun Cup
we’d never won it until this year when we were able to wrestle it from VBTCC’s grasp.They had won it 14 out of the 16
years! Norfolk Yacht had won it twice.Then came Tidewater Cup where we’ve had quite a bit of success over its nine
year span winning it six times but not since 2013.This year we were able to bring the Cup back home where it belongs.
You can view the Cups proudly displayed on the desk in the pro shop. Of course you will see those Cups alongside the
Spindle Cup which we’ve now won four-in-a-row going for our fifth title this September here at home.The Junior
Country Club Cup, which we’ve now won five times in a row has been pushed back to October 16th to accommodate
Farmington Country Club’s ability to field a team. All in all we’re currently enjoying a wave of Cup success!

PACC Tennis hit another milestone this year on May 1st at the 17th Annual Fun Cup Doubles and Mixed Doubles
tournament hosted by Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club.The four teams competing were PACC, Norfolk Yacht, Cavalier
and VBTCC. VBTCC has won it all but three times since its inception in 2000. We have never won it, although we
came within one game of winning last year, so we knew we were competitive. After a slow start in the 9:00 am matches,

Virginia Cup

It was an exciting trip up to Richmond this year to take on the best of

what our clubs (Westwood, Country Club of VA and Norfolk Yacht)

have to offer at the Virginia Cup. Westwood’s team has dominated

this event with by far the youngest group of men in the field, followed

by Norfolk Yacht who typically has had a few ex-college players who,

granted, are approaching their 40’s. On a very cool day at CCV in

Richmond, it was CCV who gave Westwood a run for their money

tying them for first place with six wins each.The tie-breaker (whoever

loses the fewest number of sets) gave Westwood the win with four Pictured (Left to Right): Charles Einwick, Brady McNaughton,
sets lost to CCV’s five. We were excited because three out of our four Brad Hobbs, Britt Visser, John Fraser, Jeff Breit,
doubles pairings notched up wins which put us in third place for the
day with three wins, one better than last year and putting us ahead of Kent McCammon, Neil Brown. Not Pictured: Stuart Sim.

Norfolk Yacht. Kudos to our team for going up there and fighting tooth and nail for what they got!

indoor back up courts at Boar’s Head so we were able to
get all the singles matches in. For Day one, Farmington
scored the most singles wins of the day with five, Norfolk
Yacht was next with three and we were tied with CCV
with 2. We had gorgeous weather for Day two where we
saw some great three setters, and we managed to pull out
two of our singles matches and two of our doubles. In the
end, there were only two points separating the 1st and last
team making for an exciting finish. Norfolk Yacht took
home the Cup with 10 points followed by Farmington
and CCV with nine points and PACC with eight.

Tidewater Cup

We managed to continue our winning streak from our Fun Cup
victory to the Tidewater Cup Men’s Doubles event with seven
wins over Cavalier’s six! Norfolk Yacht, who won the last two years,
finished in third place this year with five and Elizabeth Manor
finished fourth with two. It was a very exciting finish to this year’s
competition as it came down to the last match on court where our 4.5
team of Sam Steingold and David Jacobs sealed the deal with a close
victory over Elizabeth Manor 7-6, 6-4, despite Mr. Jacobs having to
take a ten-minute break for cramping.That took us to seven wins!
Congratulations guys and a job well done!

35 Years and Counting

These gentlemen represent one of the many long standing groups that continue to

grace our courts every week here at PACC. Herman Hall, Chip Simkins, Bruce

Baxter and Blaine Denny have been playing doubles together at the same timeslot

on the same Thursday night on the same court for 35 years! You would think

they would maybe switch partners around and try different combinations within

their foursome, but no, they always play the same match up, Bruce and Chip

versus Blaine and Herman! I approached them one night curious as to why I had

never seen them play any other way and they really didn’t have much explanation Pictured (left to right): Chip Simkins, Bruce Baxter,
other than this was the way they liked it. Can’t really argue with that or the fact Blaine Denny and Herman Hall
that they always stick around for a beer and some food afterwards. I also asked

them when was the last time they had bought new tennis shoes, as the ones they

were wearing looked like they were models similar to what was on offer back when they started. Begrudgingly, they all agreed it

was time to replace them and once I fitted them with the latest & greatest, they went out on court with sparkling white shoes,

happy with their new purchase.There was a time when they would all take their wives and travel as a group to the US Open every

year.This took place for 10 years before other things began to interfere with that streak, but here they are still going strong and

providing inspiration to all of us! Princess Anne Living | September/October 2016 40

IPTL Events

April 29, 2016:
We had our 2nd installment of the IPTL event on April 29th in less than
favorable conditions.The drizzle and cooler temperatures sure made an
effort to dampen our spirits. Our guys and gals chose to rise above it though
and came out and played some spectacular tennis with every match being
close, several of them going the distance. In the end, John’s Jaguars (Rick
Tillar, Steve Murray,Tom Cox, Beth Skolnick, Aden Murray and Kristina
Chastain) edged out Hinkle’s Hyenas for the win capping another night of
fun yet competitive tennis.Thanks to everyone for braving the elements!

May 20, 2016:
Our 3rd installment of the International Premier Tennis
League took place during our “Grillin’ and Chillin’” with live
entertainment from “the Hark.”What a night it was as it
was not only our first IPTL for ALL levels but it included
“Legends” (65 and over) as well! Our professional team
worked very hard to make the two teams of 16 players each
as even as possible, but never in a million years would we have
dreamt that it could’ve been this close.The final game score
at the end of three rounds of match play was 106 total games
won by Team Blue to 105 total games won by Team Red! A
true nail biter and thrill for all 32 of our participants.Team
Blue was coached by Nathan and Martin while Team Red by John and Arnold. Congrats to Team Blue for coming through in
the clutch and to Team Red, you guys put up an incredible fight. A huge thank you to all who participated and helped make this
a great event.

July 29, 2016:
We were treated to a gorgeous night
on Friday, July 29th, where we mixed
“Grillin’ and Chillin” with our 4th
iteration of our ever popular IPTL
event. What a perfect end to a week,
hitting tennis balls to the sound and
rhythm of HM Johnson who provided
the music at Breakers Boulevard. We
had 24 participants split into four teams
with one of our pro’s assigned to each
team. We decided to do food items for
team names for this one so it was Hinkle’s Hot Dogs, Bolling’s Burgers, Black’s Beans and Fraser’s French Fries! We all fought
hard for every point out there for over three hours but hot diggity dog in the end it was Hinkle’s Hot Dogs that triumphed over
Fraser’s French Fries by the score of 53-48! The Burgers took a solid 3rd place with 41 and the Beans finished with 18.

John’s Tip | How to Choose a Tennis Racquet

Picking the right tennis racquet can immensely improve your tennis game. You might not think so at first, but the different
factors that go into a racquet can drastically determine how you play. When you consider things such as string pattern, head
size, weight, balance point, swing weight, grip size, string material, string tension, string gauge and frame stiffness, you’ll start to
understand how important it is to choose a racquet that suits your specific needs.

String Pattern:
There are two types of string patterns: open and closed. For a racquet with an open
string pattern, there are less intersecting cross strings. For example, the 16×18 would
be a racquet with an open string pattern. On the other hand, a closed string pattern
is a racquet with more intersecting cross strings, such as an 18×20 pattern.

A racquet with an open string pattern gives a player more power and spin when
hitting the ball. You can picture this as the wider spacing between strings and the
fewer intersections causes a ball to rebound with greater force. Many people prefer an
open string pattern because, in addition to greater power and spin, it also provides a
better feel for the ball. However, there is a downside to this type of string pattern. An
open string racquet is less durable and the strings are more prone to snapping since
there are fewer cross strings. But, when it comes to players who need all the power they can get, a racquet with an open string
pattern is definitely a must, especially for youth.

Then we have the closed string pattern. With more cross strings available, this creates a durable racquet face that is less likely
to snap. However, with this added durability comes the cost of extra power and spin. An 18×20 racquet won’t deflect the ball as

much as an open string racquet, but the added durability can be a lifesaver for players
who already hit hard, and is a popular choice for players who prefer control.

Head Size:
When selecting a tennis racquet, you should always pick the head size carefully.
The head size refers to the size of the racquet face (frame and strings) and directly
influences how much power you can produce. A typical racquet’s head size ranges
anywhere from 85 to 135 square inches.This range is split into three categories:
oversize, mid-plus and mid size. Larger head sizes are often preferred by beginners
since it offers more power, while those who are more experienced opt for smaller
head sizes for additional control.

Weight / Balance Point:
You’ll most likely see how weight affects a racquet when it’s in your hands. As you may already know, a racquet provides both
power and control, and how heavy your racquet is will affect both of these elements proportional to the weight. There are three
main categories used for determining weight: heavy (head-light), medium (balanced) and lightweight (head-heavy).The idea
here is that most racquets have a heavy head to produce powerful shots, but it’s the weight of the handle that will determine a
racquet’s weight category. A racquet with a heavy head but a light handle is considered head-heavy since the head is heavier than
the handle.

You can determine whether a racquet is head-heavy, head-light or balanced by measuring its balance point.The balance point is
determined by where on a racquet’s length is perfectly balanced.This can be done by adjusting a racquet on a straight rod until it
doesn’t lean toward either side. A balance point that is more than half way up the racquet is considered head-heavy, less than half

43 Princess Anne Living | September/October 2016

From the Courts

way is head-light and somewhere around the middle is balanced. Balance point is calculated with points, with each point equal
to 1/8 of an inch. So, a racquet that is eight points head-heavy has a balance point of one inch above the middle of the racquet,
while eight points head-light has a balance point of one inch below the middle.

So, what is considered a light, medium or heavy racquet? Well, this chart can get you acquainted with the various categories:

Type Weight Pros Cons

Light (Head-heavy) Less than 10 oz. / 283.5 • More maneuverability • Less control
Medium (Balanced) grams • Swings faster • More shock to the wrist, elbow,
Heavy (Head-light) 10 to 11.5 oz. / 283.5 to 326 • Requires less energy
grams • Better for beginners and shoulder
• Evenly balanced
>11.5 oz / 326 grams • Better for intermediate players • Not designed for players who
• More power prefer either power or control
• More control
• Less shock • Less maneuverability
• Better for advanced players • Requires more energy

***Keep in mind, however, that racquet weight is different from swing weight. Although the importance of racquet weight
can be debated–if you weigh less, heavier racquets will take more energy to hold–it is actually the swing weight which will
determine how well you can swing your racquet on the court.***

Swing Weight:
Swing weight is a measurement anywhere from 0-1000, and gives you an indication
of how heavy it feels to swing a racquet.That’s why swing weight can be seen as
a more decisive factor compared to strung weight when you want to know how
to choose a tennis racquet. A higher rating means that the racquet will be harder
to swing, while lower means that it’s easier.The majority of racquets today have a
swing weight of around 280-350. A racquet’s swing weight is determined by racquet
weight, length, balance point and head size.

The advantages of a lower swing weight would be a faster racquet head speed and A medium weight tennis racquet.

more spin. Lower swing weights are anywhere below 310.The advantages of a higher

swing weight is more stability and power and is considered a rating of above 330. A medium swing weight gives you a little of

both worlds and falls with the range of 311 to 329.

Grip Sizes:
Grip sizes are basically all about hand sizes. Obviously, different people have different sized hands and finding the right grip
size is about finding a size that you can hold and play with comfortably. Using the wrong grip size can lead to a multitude of
problems such as poorer performance (power and control), irritation and injuries to your hand, elbow and shoulder. Kind of like
how people don’t wear wrong sized shoes, using the wrong grip size just doesn’t make much sense.

The easiest way to find the right grip size for you is to hold a racquet and determine whether it feels comfortable or not.
However, if you want to be more exact, you can perform a series of tests (index finger test and ruler test) to determine what your
exact grip size is. Most grip sizes are anywhere from 4 inches to 4.75 inches in the US. You can usually find what a racquet’s
grip size is by looking at either the butt or the frame’s throat.
