Stephanie has been recovering fro m a serious illness and I stopped out to see her becaus e she wanted some advice to change her pots over to fall plants. Her health and mobility has deteriorated sig nificantly. I thought she could use a little pick-me-up, so in addition to the advice for her pots, I went back tod ay with a card from the grounds team and decorated her front porch and pots with pumpkins and gourds to bring her some cheer. It turned out to be good timing, because I was just finishing up as she was coming hom e from getting checked out after falling while try ing to get some exercise/PT. So she was feeling dis couraged by her setback but she was very gra teful for our kind gesture.
Greg Jones received an email from Mr. McCue. Mr. McCue was asking about a driving range mat for his backyard. Greg put Mr. McCue and me in an email so I could give him more information about the driving range mats I installed here at the club. He decided that the mats we have would be perfect for his backyard. Luckily for him, we had some extra mats from the project that we could sell him. When we discussed the details of when he could stop by a pickup the mat, he asked me if we had any extra golf ball range crates we used a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, we didn’t. They were all old and falling apart at the time, so they were tossed. I decided to make him one. I had the wood at home, and the tools. I didn’t tell him I was going to make it. Saturday morning, he was going to play golf. We decided that we would meet in the parking lot before his tee time to load up the mat. He was very happy to have a mat for his backyard finally, but when I pulled out the crate and told him I made it, he couldn’t believe it. He was thrilled!

“BCC keeps blowing me away and I cannot thank you enough for hiring such amazing people. Last night as I was walking up from the parking lot my shoe broke. There was no convincing a five and two year old
to circle home and everyone I messaged had already left their homes and could not bring me shoes. As I walked up to the party barefoot and flustered, Madison came to my rescue. I thought she might scrounge up a spare leftover something in the clubhouse but she went completely above and beyond and ran to Old Navy and bought me flip flops! I was able to safely maneuver the rides and enjoy the night in comfort because of her kindness.”
