FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER OF OPERATIONS

Here we are in September and entering the autumn season; first and foremost, I hope you are all healthy and staying safe. This has been a challenging year, and many are feeling worn out and full of uncertainty. The summer season is considered over in many parts of the country, but we are fortunate to have weather in which we can continue to get outside and enjoy activities in the fresh air. Truly fortunate indeed, especially this year. All of us here at the Members Club are optimistic and moving forward with a positive attitude for better and busy days, filled with fun and enjoyable activities in the coming months.

The golf course fully reopened on Friday, August 21 st and we are excited to be welcoming everyone back to the Club for golf and dining. We look forward to having you at the Club once again; amid all the uncertainty out there, we welcome you to a safe environment, to band together, preserve friendships, traditions, and experiences. We are so pleased with the completion of the greens, the resurfacing project turned out incredibly well and we hope all of you out on the golf course are seeing the rewards in your putting strokes. We are safely bringing back activities this month, Trivia night and GrapeNights are popular events, check the weekly happening emails and member website for updated information and details.

I have said it before but I think it is an important message worth repeating -- We have adopted our “new normal” of increased sanitizing and cleaning practices, continuing physical distancing, wearing face coverings, limiting group sizes, and so forth. We always require all staff at both the Members Club and Ocean Club to wear face masks while working, and we have daily temperature and health checks. We also require our members and guests to wear face masks while at our facilities. These guidelines are in place to minimize the risk of the virus to all and keep everyone safe. We thank all of you for your support. Please stay safe and healthy, take care of yourselves, and look out for one another. As always, reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you all at the Club.

A NOTE FROM YOUR MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR

Ahhhhh, so happy to have life back in the clubhouse and on the golf course. Thank you Members for supporting your club during this pandemic and resurfacing of the greens. We would love for you to share your thoughts and ideas with us as we make this turn into the fall of our ever-changing club and community. I am learning through this “temporary inconvenience of time” to stop talking constantly about the situation we are all "going through." So I invite you to join me and decide today to get on through it! Don't accept your present, temporary situation as your future, permanent situation. I look forward to the fall months here at the Members Club in hopes that we can be together again whether toasting a glass or trying to win trivia night or having couples golf at sunset. I do think that the best is yet to come. We are still working on incentives and promotions for new membership and referrals. Have your family and friends contact me to inquire about our “Member For A Month” program…...what a great time to try our club as a Member, whether full golf or Social. Again, thank you for supporting and growing your club.
