Living on the Edge | September 2024 by samantha

Hello to all Ocean Edge Club Members,

\We really hope that you are all enjoying the summer thus far The weather has proven to be so much more beneficial this summer as opposed to last The sun is certainly out, and we are happy to see so many of you enjoying all that Ocean Edge has to offer its members! The weekly Wine Down Wednesdays and the Friday Nights at the Linx events have proven to still be very successful and full of attendance. These will be a staple of membership engagement for years to come! I have been hearing nothing but positive reviews on all the amenities across property and on the food and beverage offerings and service for all events. I thank all of you for your compliments via emails and talking in person, however, the compliments are really for the entire staff involved that makes Ocean Edge what we are today. They have absolutely been doing a fantastic job this year!

It’s hard to believe that Labor Day is only a few days away as I am writing this letter For those members that have left for the season, I wish you safe travels and I look forward to seeing you again soon For those members that are still on property, we still have some exciting times to be had For the many employees that have left for the season, you will be missed and for those that are still here we thank you for your hard work and efforts in making Ocean Edge a great Resort and Club to visit here on Cape Cod

Be sure to make reservations ahead of time for the following upcoming events: Sunday we have our Labor Day Clambake, only 2 Dettore quota events left, we have our ladies and men ’ s Senior Club Championship, OEWGA Closing Day on Tuesday the 17th, Sip and Paint event, and our OEMGA Stableford event and dinner on Saturday the 21st. We still have many great weather days ahead of us for the month of September and into October. We are looking forward to connecting with all of you as we see you around the Club.

We are looking forward to a continued great year here at Ocean Edge and I sincerely want to thank you all for allowing me this opportunity to lead such a great team here. Please know that I have an open-door policy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel free to contact me as I continue to address your concerns and wants to improve upon the Club here at Ocean Edge I can be reached best via email at Stephan Harrington@oceanedge com or by phone at 571-2782860 Thank you for all the feedback and I will continue with my efforts in improving!

Labor Day Weekend! This has been a wonderful summer and August weather was incredible. Overall, we had an active August from a Club Membership perspective, with our Pickleball program at new levels, Tennis had a remarkable summer and our ladies team had another winning season, and our golfers enjoyed an remarkable season with the course in top shape. I have heard many comments on how fast and true the greens are rolling, which is a great compliment to our new Superintendent, Sean Lucy.

August also had 7 new members join our Ocean Edge family, with 6 or our new members being referred by a current member! Thank you everyone for being a valued Member of our Club and I look forward to seeing you and your family throughout the balance of the year.

Hello Members,

As summer quickly comes to a close, I think we can all look back at what has been and continues to be a great time here, at Ocean Edge The wide variety of activities available to the membership continues to provide us all with the opportunity for a great Cape Cod experience. We hope that you will continue to take advantage of these activities as we move into the fall season.

As you all know, the Member Advisory Board meets monthly with Ocean Edge and Troon management to provide the member perspective regarding all aspects of club operations and to share ideas which could lead to an enhanced member experience Your feedback to the Advisory Board has been much appreciated this year and we encourage you to continue to share your thoughts with us. The minutes of our monthly meetings are available on the Ocean Edge website under the tab labelled, “Member Resources and Documents ” Click Here to View the August Meeting Minutes

This year there will be several Advisory Board positions available as our terms expire in May 2025 and we encourage members to seriously consider joining the Board. Further communications regarding the application process will be coming later this fall Stay tuned.

And, finally, we encourage everyone to attend the annual Members Meeting which will be held on October 4th.

As fall begins, we look forward to seeing the beautiful autumn colors around Ocean Edge. It’s a great time to get outside for an extra walk or bike ride and take advantage of the Cape Cod Rail Trail. We are so fortunate to have easy access to the rail trail right from the MSC. Go left from the MSC towards Chatham or go right towards Orleans. The scenery can include anything from ponds to state parks, even the ocean if you choose to do the Salt Pond trail in Eastham A link to the map is below Hope to see you out there!
