Happy New Year Everyone!
We are ending another great year here at the club. I hope
everyone had a Merry Christmas and has enjoyed the times
with family and friends over the holidays. We don’t have
much on the schedule the next few months, but we look
forward to our first member tournament, The Walnut

Thank you to all the sponsors, players, committee members, club staff,
Mount Olive College players/coaches, and club pros who made the 2014
Pro/Am Tennis Tournament a success. We held three clinics, a ladies
luncheon, three rounds of pro/am play, pro/pro doubles, and capped off
with a wonderful dinner at the main clubhouse. We look forward to
another great event in the fall of 2015!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! USTA league
teams are forming now! Please let me know ASAP if you would like to
play this spring. I will also need captains for each team formed. Play starts
in March and concludes in early May. January and February can be a tough
month on our courts due to freezing temperatures at night. When the
temperatures get into the 20’s the courts freeze overnight. Once the
temperature rises above freezing they become wet, mushy, and
unplayable. If you come to play and your foot makes an indent, the courts
are unplayable. Last year the courts were closed sporadically due to the
unseasonably cold temperatures. I hope this winter we can have warmer
weather in preparation of the 2015 spring league season.

Walnut Creek Country Club • January February 2015
Meet Chef Chris Bachrach,
our fabulous magician in the
Hey Gorgeous,
kitchen. Chris was born in
Philadelphia, PA and is a die
Let’s Celebrate!
hard Eagles fan. He served
four and a half years in the
United States Navy as a
boatswain, and graduated from
Slippery Rock University with
a degree in Health Services Administration. Before
joining the WCCC team a year and a half ago, Chris
was a General Manager for Applebee’s in Fayetteville,
NC. He also spent ten years as a District Manager for
Waffle House, where he oversaw the operations of up
to twelve restaurants at a time. Although he has had
an extremely successful career in the food service
industry, Chris’s greatest accomplishment is his two
year old daughter Naliyah.
Chef Chris is very proud of the new dinner menu that
was launched this fall, particularly his Fresh Catch
addition which allows him to rotate fresh seafood on a
seasonal calendar. By working closely with his
distributors Chris has been able to feature fish from
all over the world, including Ono from Japan, Mahi
from Australia and Chile, and Shark from New
Zealand and Hawaii. The Fresh Catch offerings are
delivered to the club within 36 hours of being caught,
and Chris does his best to keep the cost to the
members within reason.
In order to provide the very best of the exciting
menu, Chris stresses the importance of making
reservations as early as possible so that he can be sure
to have an adequate supply of food on hand while
keeping waste to a minimum. These are the two
variables that allow Chris to keep control of his food
cost, which is so important to the club’s bottom line.
Chris and his team have survived the busy holiday
season and are looking forward to some great
programs in the new year. They will be offering a
gourmet wine dinner, cooking class demonstrations,
and a Member-Chef cook off competition just to
name a few. Chris is always open to new ideas
and suggestions from the membership and
would love to hear from you, so feel free to
contact him at any time. THANKS Chris, for
all you do for our Club and membership!!!
As we go into the New Year, we have a few
drainage projects to work on around the course,
as well as replenishing sand in many of the
bunkers. Our plan is to replenish what was lost
throughout the year in all of the green side
bunkers so we can keep them consistent
throughout the course. Also, with the course
being dormant, the recent rains have saturated
the course so we ask that you please be respectful
with golf cart traffic.
See you on the course,
Brad
Please join us in
congratulating Brad Edens
on his recent graduation
from NC State. Brad was
awarded a Bachelor of
Science in Agricultural
Business Management.
Way to go Brad… WCCC
is proud of you!!!
