Iam going to stray from my normal type of article and write something different because these are certainly different times. First, I want to thank you for your patience during this coronavirus pandemic. Understanding necessary closures is especially important and appreciated. The Board and I continue to be adamant in ensuring to the best of our ability the overall health of the community. Thus far, we have been able to open the boat launches for motorized boating and our golf courses. Hopefully, when you are reading this, we will have been able to open more of our amenities. Unfortunately, certain golf events and CLA events have already been cancelled or postponed. Our annual Memorial Day Weekend Garage Sale was postponed until Labor Day weekend. An upcoming event for our community is the July 4th celebration. At this writing, a decision has not been made. When one is made, we will send it out via the Member Bulletin.
The staff and I have had several discussions during the past few months. It is comforting to me and should be to you, to know that I have such a knowledgeable and caring staff. They have approached coronavirus-related issues head-on, even taking on tasks that are outside their normal job duties. Like mine, one of their foremost concerns is your health and safety.
Times as we knew them have certainly changed. We have done our best to keep you informed through Member Bulletins. We will continue to do so as things change. We will need your continued patience and understanding as we go. Certain decisions will need to be vetted thoroughly, weighing all these new conditions that are at hand. We will always attempt to make these decisions in the best interest of the community.
It may be easier to say than to believe, but everything always gets better. During these times I think it is important to think positively rather than get caught up in thinking it will never get better. For some, it may be a difficult concept, but I believe it will pay off in the end. Positive thinking is a mindset and it will make a difference. When in doubt, just do your best to try to think on the bright side.
As we all enjoy this great community, please remember to continue practicing social distancing and proper hygiene regarding hand washing, mask wearing, etc. These are going to remain important tasks as we navigate the future.
Our commitment to you remains steadfast. As we go about our season, we will continue to protect the health and safety of our employees while keeping all of you safe and doing our best to support your needs.
PRACTICE. PERFORM. PLAY.
Private and group golf instruction is available at The Royal by Dennis Wolfe, PGA Professional and Carolyn Allingham, LPGA Professional.
