Keepers Golf & Grounds/Golf Staff Appreciation Lunch 2022

Posted on

This year’s Keepers Golf & Grounds/Golf Staff Appreciation Lunch was more like a World Cup Watch Party with Christmas decorations.  It was once again catered by Mission Bar-B-Que which meant there was plenty of smoked brisket, pulled pork and chicken, cornbread, coleslaw, beans, and mac n’ cheese to satisfy the crowd.

Mission Barbque

Greens and Grounds, Golf Shop and First Tee Staff, and a bunch of Keepers were there to watch the Brazil vs Croatia World Cup Match on the big screen.  In spite of what you might guess the partisanship was evenly split (probably a function of the office pool riding on the outcome).  When Croatia scored the tying goal in the second overtime the outburst was nuclear-it felt like we were in a sports bar in Zabgreb.

For The Keepers community service commitment always begins close to home. We are pleased to continue this annual tradition to thank our Greens & Grounds/Golf Staff for everything they do to enhance our golf experience every day.  A special thank you to Wanda Houser who coordinates everything for this luncheon from ordering the food, delivery, and prep for the masses.

BTW, Croatia beat Brazil on penalty shots after the second overtime!!!!!

 

Keepers Klothing 2023

Posted on Updated on

The Keepers Kollection for 2023 has been assembled by our fashion coordinators and is now on display in the Golf Shop TV Room for your review.

This year we are keeping it simple but practical….a koncept that is valuable for people our age.  Who hasn’t been out on the course just to have the wind kick up and drop the temperature enough to konsider another layer.  Or worse, one of those sudden spring cloud bursts that kall for instant waterproof protection since you are not going in as long as you are two-up in the match. 

To meet these needs we are providing you with Footjoy’s HydroLite Short Sleeve Wind/Rain Shirt constructed from advanced technology-packed materials that deliver 100% waterproof, breathable protection in cool, windy, and rainy conditions (their words not mine).  You also get our custom embroidered light grey performance baseball hat bearing a kitchen cabinet of logos- The Keepers est. 2008 patch on the front, Woodmont Golf on the side, and a klever kollage celebrating The Loop-North-South golf facilities on the back.  Every Keeper gets these two items for their wardrobe as part of the Annual Keepers Fee for 2023.

Footjoy Performance Outerwear

Three Man Shot  

FJ Performance Outerwear makes some of the finest wind resistant and waterproof product in the industry.  You probably have a DryJoy Tour LTS Keepers rain jacket in your closet which you got back in 2018 that has served you well.  This short sleeve piece is even more versatile then that one because it can neatly remain packed in your golf bag so it is available at a moments notice as the weather changes out on the links.

This stylish classic fit, meaning it is meant to work for vintage patrons, has smart looking color inserts that will be complimentary for all body types.  Featuring multi-layer tech construction that stretches, breathes, and is waterproof, it comes with a two-year FootJoy guarantee behind it.  1/4 Zip neck opening is easy to get on and off in a hurry.  Two concealed pockets will shelter your valuables  and all seams are heat sealed for maximum waterproof protection.  

If you would like to purchase an additional wind/rain shirt we will charge your Woodmont account $100 for the extra piece.  An additional Baseball Hat will cost you $20.  Just indicate that you want extra pieces when you submit your selections of the items you have coming to you as part of your annual fee.

Millar Print Shirts On Two Guys 2

Peter Millar has been at the forefront of themed print golf shirts in tech materials that liven up your wardrobe for a different look when strolling the links.  We picked two of them, a white ground Arnold Palmer Half & Half print, a testimony to the drink the King introduced that changed the 19th hole forever, and a navy Golf Landmarks print that depicts iconic images from famous courses across the globe.  These shirts are the classic fit 3-button placket with moisture wicking comfort and UPF sun protection built in.  If you prefer an alternative we have the solid navy Performance Tech Shirt that will work nicely for you.

Keepers Kontributions 2019

Posted on Updated on

A big part of our annual Keepers season is the kommunity service involvement of our organization supporting and promoting worthy causes at home and in our kommunity.  This year The Keepers have supported over a dozen causes through fund raising, outings, and direct donations to the tune of $21,500.

We received The First Tee Spirit Award for our decade long involvement through our Annual First Tee Mentor Outings

 

Over 35 kids and 15 volunteers participated with staff in this year’s First Tee Mentor Outing

 

We had close to 70 employees and members for the Staff Appreciation Kook-Out

Our charitable kommitment begins at home with our annual support of Woodmont activities through the Woodmont Employee Assistance Fund and the Keepers Greens and Grounds/Golf Staff Appreciation Kook-Out.  We also support many of the fund raising efforts of other Woodmont entities with donations and event support for Play For Pink, Alzheimers, and the Women’s Amateur.  Outside of the club The Keepers have raised money for donations to the The First Tee of Greater Washington, Hebrew Home ElderSafe Program, SMGA/Wounded Veterans, Folds of Honor Foundation, Links To Freedom Foundation, and the Friends of Israel Disabled Veterans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks so much to all of our members for their efforts in supporting the kommunity service initiatives of The Keepers.  We are exceedingly proud of our focus and kommitment to this part of the Keepers Mission each year.

Keepers Last Supper-2019

Posted on Updated on

The Keepers 12th Season was celebrated with a festive evening of Hot Shoppes Fare and a fascinating presentation by Michael Cumberpatch, the head guy at the Mid-Atlantic Golf Association and the Metropolitan Washington Golf Association.  Besides enthusiastic consumption of the Hamburger Buffet, Teen Twists, Mac n’ Cheese, Root Beer Floats, and Hot Fudge Ice Cream Cakes, the 50 people attending got to hear Michael spin tales about his 20 years of overseeing the USGA Regional Qualifier at Woodmont, the long list of U.S. Opens and Senior Opens on which he has worked as a USGA volunteer, and his charitable work with the U.S. Armed Forces.

Cumberpatch had great slides and stories about his interactions with known and unknown pros during his years working the USGA events.  My favorite was the video he had of Tom Lehman’s fateful shot down the 17th hole at Congressional in 1997.

For the third year in a row Lehman had the 54-hole lead in our national championship. As he stood on the top of the hill at the difficult Par 4 staring down at a green hanging perilously over the water he had to have thoughts that a par-par finish would finally deliver him his first Major Championship.  Even without the accompanying Japanese commentating the agony on his face told it all as his soft draw turned into a petulant hook and the ball would not hold the bank sealing his watery fate.  The last image is Tom standing face-in-hat likely reciting Psalm 23 followed by the Mourners Kaddish.

Michael had lots of recollections to share of his times running the USGA Regional Qualifier at our place.  He had only the highest accolades for the golf and green staff at Woodmont and their ability to host these prestigious events.

We also managed to squeeze in handing hand out the hardware to the deserving winners of this year’s Keepers Kup, Kup Finale, Lead Dog, Alternate Shot Series, and Match Play.  A good bit of needling accompanied the presentation ceremonies.

The Kopper Kups were won by Howie Stein, Rich Greenberg, and Jon Bortz

The biggest haul went to Howie “The Quiet Assassin” Stein who won the Keepers Kup, the Finale Flag, the Lead Dog Trophy, and a Match Play Plaque for winning the Augusta Division in the Keepers Match Play.  But alas Howie could not join us to kollect the loot. Based on his net 62 performance in the Finale, Howie decided to test his game today with the tour pros playing with Artie and Susie Aronoff in the Pro-Am of the RSM Classic down at Sea Island, Georgia.  Not losing his touch Howie shot a tidy 75 to trail his pro Denny McCarthy by 5.  For those who care we will make sure this gets posted as a tournament score.

Howie, Susan, and Artie awaiting the call to the first tee at the RSM Classic at Sea Island

 

Howie Stein and Artie Aronoff won the Finale Event with a pair of mind boggling Net 62’s

Artie “The Sundance Kid” Aronoff you may recall shot the round of his life in the Finale to tie Howie’s Net 62 and grab one of these handsome embroidered flags.

Rich Greenberg accepts his 2nd place Keepers Kup

A former Kup Champion and Runner-up, Rich “Kojak” Greenberg took second in this year’s Keepers Kup with Jon “Majors Only” Bortz taking the third prize.

 

Vintage Alt-Shot Series Trophies in the hands of Howard Wollner and Marc Birnbaum

The Keepers Alt-Shot Series Final Fore went down to the wire once again this year.  Howard “Stogie I” Wollner and Marc “Fine Grind” Birnbaum needed all 27 holes to prevail by a half a point over three pairs of kualified applicants.  These super kool vintage trophies will now fill a spot in their trophy kollections.

 

The distinguished Keepers Match Play Vase went to Barry MInkoff

 

Barry and the booty

Now associated with Joe Namath, Mike Eurozine, and Buster Douglas for most momentous sports accomplishments, Barry “Mr. Klutch” Minkoff accepted the near Wedgewood Vase as the Keepers Match Play Champion for 2019. For the five of us who witnessed it live it was a gritty performance that we will not soon forget.  Howie Stein and Paul “Pablo” Cohen earned their plaques as the Augusta and Bethpage Black Flight Champions respectively.

The Keepers received The First Tee Spirit Award for 2019

 

Konnor Farrell, Steve Keller, Steve Lerman, and Moe Dweck accepting the award

Ten years of holding our mentor outing with the kids of The First Tee of Greater Washington has helped form a tight relationship between Woodmont and The First Tee.  The Keepers were designated for the First Tee Spirit Award for 2019 an honor they bestow each year on an individual or group that embraces the principles of The First Tee Organization.  A group of us attended their Core Values Event in October to accept this kool plaque and once again witness the amazing grace and poise of the participant recipients of their annual awards.  The top award for the kids went to someone we know well, Sabrina Stecklein, a recent graduate of WJ and a freshman at the University of Maryland.  Sabrina has attended every one of the Keepers-First Tee Mentoring Outings since 2010.

All-in-all it was a fun evening of celebration.  Congratulations to all the big winners and special thanks to Konnor Farrell and his staff for their excellent stewardship of The Keepers 12th Season.

Keepers Golf & Grounds/Golf Staff Appreciation Kook-Out 2019

Posted on Updated on

 

Once again The Keepers take great pleasure in sponsoring this annual kook-out for the Golf & Grounds and Golf Staff.  It is our opportunity to show our appreciation for the year-round efforts of Ryan’s staff who prepare and maintain our beautiful courses as well as all the people who run the golf shop, staging area and administrate the first tee.

Alejandro grilling the burger, brats, and dogs and Ana managing the preparation

 

Esteban cooking the savory fajita meat that Ana prepared with her tasty marinate

 

Corey, David, and Ana setting out the lavish buffet that included all the fixins

This year we served over 60 staff and administrators from the Greens and Grounds Dept and Golf Staff as well as a few visiting dignitaries.  Ana did her marination magic for the chicken and beef fajitas and Sergio made the salsa to go with it.  The fajitas, burgers, brats, and hot dogs were prepared by Esteban and Alejandro who manned the grills with the help of the senior Greens and Grounds Staff administrating the buffet.

Wanda, Corey, Kaptin Keith and Ryan chatting as the final preparations are put in place

 

The line at the buffet was shoulder-to-shoulder filling up plates with the delicious fare

 

Andy, Brian, David, and Shawn seem to be enjoying the home cooking

 

Jorge, Sergio, and Rafael appreciated the lunchtime treats

 

Lots of laughs between bites.  There was plenty of time to kibbutz and talk about their responsibilities and personal experiences working at Woodmont.

David and Howard talking ground cover with Anna, from the horticulture program at Montgomery College, who is doing her internship this summer at Woodmont.

 

Ryan, Kojak, and Billy B discuss the playoff pitching rotations of our Nationals

 

Anna and Lisa, the head of the horticulture department, were discussing the ongoing progress of the program that enhances the beauty of Woodmont every day

 

For The Keepers community service commitment always begins close to home. We are pleased to continue this annual tradition as a thank you to our Greens & Grounds/Golf Staff for everything they do.  The devoted efforts of these folks allow all Woodmont members to enjoy one of the finest golf experiences in our metropolitan area.

 

 

Keepers Last Supper 2018

Posted on Updated on

Around 50 Keepers and friends gathered at the Chatter Chabad in Chevy Chase for the Maariv Service and this year’s Keepers Last Supper Celebration.  With the help of Reb Alan Bubes we were able to konvince Tony Kornheiser and Gary Williams to provide the evening’s entertainment with a Q & A kovering an array of topics of interest to our guys.

Tony and Gary handled a barrage of sports questions from our guys and the discussions lasted over an hour.  Most interestingly it seemed that two-thirds of the questions were about Terp Basketball in particular and College and Pro Hoops in general, which meant the lions share of the responses were in Gary’s court.

One of the few times Tony actually got to field a question…..yes he thinks Tiger will win twice in the next year

 

Keepers in rapt attention to the details….

 

Except maybe Sol who was clearly focusing on the meal ahead…..Sol will be Sol…

 

Richard took a moment to remind Santa’s helper that he really wants a high end performance car for Hannukah…

 

Gary kollecting himself while he tries to identify the best players to play for him during his storied coaching career at Lafayette, Boston College, Ohio State, and, of course, Maryland where he won a National Championship!

 

What…another question for Gary!!

 

Tony did get his moments though…..informing us that it is unlikely that Bryce Harper is worth $400 million to the Nats…..or anyone else!!

 

Click to listen to minutes 5 to 15….Tony’s humble account of the Keeper Q & A Session…. from his podcast the next morning

 

The Chatter food was fabulous….including the crab cakes and pigs in a blanket, standards at all Jewish celebratory functions and a robust low-calorie dinner buffet and some sweeeeeet mini-desserts…….

All the food groups were covered…including 50 Shades of Chocolate

 

After dinner we had an informal presentation of Woodmont’s hosting of the 2020 USGA Women’s Am from Double-D and Billy Burak.  They discussed the rationale of the club in pursuing this prestigious event and the opportunity to support the effort through the 1913 Campaign.  Over $80,000 has been raised already from Woodmont members with a goal of getting 150 families to support the effort.   You can get more information on this campaign by reaching out to Ron Bubes and Joann DiMeglio, the committee chairs.
