MICHAEL VAN SCHARREL Director of Golf

Golf has a wonderful way of turning an ordinary day into a memorable adventure. A perfectly struck drive, a putt that finds the bottom of the cup, an unexpected birdie, or even a few laughs after a challenging hole. These things become part of the story we share long after the round is over. That is what makes life at Fiddlesticks so special. It is not simply about golf; it is aabout the people we meet, the friendships we build, and the moments we share. From early-morning rounds to afternoon games with friends, every day at FCC offers another opportunity to create a memory. As Director of Golf, I am fortunate to witness these stories unfold every day. Whether you are competing for a championship, introducing a friend to the game, or simply enjoying nine holes with someone special, I hope you take the time to appreciate the adventure along the way. At the end of the day, the best rounds are not always measured by the scorecard; they are measured by the stories we bring home. Every adventure has a story. May your next round be one worth telling.

FITNESS DOUG DEGEN Director of Fitness

Every fitness adventure has a story. It begins not with a grand transformation, but with a single, often quiet choice to step into the unknown. Whether it is laced up running shoes hitting the pavement at dawn, a hesitant hand gripping a cold iron barbell, or a deep breath before the first yoga flow, the initial step marks the boundary between who a person was and who they are becoming. These journeys are rarely a straight line toward victory; they are series of conflict, resilience, and self-discovery that require commitment and bravery to overcome. The true plot of a fitness story is forged in the silent moments of struggle. It lives in the burning lungs of the final mile, the early morning alarms that demand discipline over comfort, and the patience required to heal from inevitable setbacks. In a world obsessed with instantaneous results, fitness demands the opposite: it forces an individual to confront their limitations and rewrite their internal narrative from “I can’t” to “I will try.” The physical changes—the muscle definition, the endurance, the weight lost or gained—are merely the illustrations of the book. The actual text is written in the character developed along the way. Ultimately, these adventures lead to a shift in perspective. The ultimate destination of a fitness journey is rarely just a physical peak; it is the profound realization of what the human body and mind can endure and achieve. The story ends not because the journey is over, but because the individual has unlocked a stronger, more resilient version of themselves, ready to author the next chapter.
