Letter from the Pros Welcome to the start of our 2017 Golf Season at St. Joe Club & Resorts. The Golf Staff along with the Member Golf Association Committee and Social Committee has developed an outstanding tournament calendar for the upcoming New Year. The goal this year is to have record participation in all of our events. We are extremely fortunate to have two of the best facilities in the area and all of Florida. Shark’s Tooth is led by Superintendent Josh Parker and Camp Creek is led by Superintendent Larry Livingston. Both crews are working diligently to get both facilities in excellent condition for the season. In this book you will find the 2017 schedule of events and a brief description of each event. We are very excited to continue the 2017 golf season with the Member Golf Association. In the inaugural kick off, the Member Golf Association helped increase participation in 2016 in many of our events. The Norman-Fazio Tournament had 88 teams and SharkFest Member-Guest expanded from 6 flights to 9 flights due to an increase in registration. The Member Golf Association has had great success in creating participation in tournaments throughout the year while reducing the entry fee to play in selected events. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Clubs in 2017 and hope that everyone has a great year with plenty of birdies!! Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Golf Professional Staff

Member Golf Association On behalf of St. Joe Club, the golf operations team is dedicated to hosting events that enhance and enrich your experiences as a Member. Our team’s primary goal is to continually elevate our events and tournaments through our staff’s enthusiastic hospitality and feedback from our Members. As the Membership continues to flourish, we strive to improve and enhance the Clubs and our unrivaled Membership benefits. The Member Golf Association has been created to reduce the cost associated with playing in golf tournaments, as well as to increase member participation throughout the year. With increased participation in events, we will continue to heighten the Member experience and cultivate traditions that one day we hope you pass on to your children and grandchildren. The foundation of the Member Golf Association is built by each Golf Member and will significantly reduce fees for select tournaments throughout the year and includes management of your handicap. The $100 Member Golf Association charge will be reflected on your March 2017 Member statement. The benefit to the Member is significant. For example, the Couples’ Nine and Dine events have previously cost the Member $75 per couple. With the introduction of the Member Golf Association, the event is offered to Members at a substantial discount of only $25 per couple. This is an opportunity for you and your spouse to enjoy a fun evening of golf, indulge in a delightful dinner and a chance to win great prizes. The Club plans to host three Couples Golf Events for the upcoming year to offer a savings of $150. The first Couples event will be March 31, 2017 and we hope that you will join us! The Member-Member Tournament on April 27 – 29, 2017 is a great event full of camaraderie among fellow Members and the event’s fellowship continues to become more entertaining each year. The Member Golf Association continues to expand your ability to participate in these events as we have drastically reduced the rate. This tournament includes golf for two days, a cocktail reception with dinner at the WaterSound Beach Club along with a tee gift, prizes, breakfast, lunch, and all drinks throughout the two-day tournament. We are looking forward to a wonderful year and excited for a great tournament season with the addition of the Member Golf Association. We appreciate your continued support of the Clubs.

Golf Course Etiquette Persons using the golf facilities should do their part to make a round of golf at the Club a pleasant experience for everyone. Here are some suggestions: 1. Do not waste time. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need and go directly to your ball. Always be near your ball to play promptly when it is your turn. If a player is delayed in making a shot, it would be courteous for such player to indicate to another player to play which should not be deemed playing out of turn. 2. The time required to “hole out” on and around the green is a chief cause of slow play. Study and clear the line of your putt while others are doing the same. Be ready to putt when it is your turn. 3. Be sociable, but reserve your extended conversations for the clubhouse after the round.

4. Players should ensure that greens are not damaged by putting down bags or the flagsticks and that the hole is not damaged by standing close to it or by removing the flagstick or the ball from the hole. The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before the players leave the green. No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. 5. No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. 6. When approaching a green, park your golf cart on the cart path on the best direct line to the next tee, in order to save significant time. This can save about twenty (20) minutes per round. Never leave the golf cart in front of the green where you will have to go back to get it, while the following players wait for you to move on. 7. When play of a hole is completed, leave the green promptly and proceed to the next tee without delay. Do the scoring for the completed hole while the others in your group are playing from the next tee. 8. If you are not holding your place on the course (see General Golf Rules), allow the players behind to play through. Do the same if you stop to search for a lost ball. 9. The golf rangers will report slow play and all breaches of golf etiquette to the golf shop. Appropriate action will be taken by the golf shop personnel. 10. Repair your ball marks on the greens. If you see unrepaired ball marks repair them also. Remind your playing partners to observe this courtesy. 11. Enter and leave bunkers at the nearest level point to the green. Carefully rake bunkers after use and place the rake outside the bunker. 12. Any divots made in the fairways should be filled with sand contained in the sand buckets on the golf carts.
