FROM THE PRESIDENT It is hard to believe that summer is right around the corner, the Grove and Pool will be in full swing and the golf course will be opening at the end of August. I want to thank the membership for your continued patience during the closure and your understanding of the challenges associated with finding reciprocal arrangements around town. We are in the home stretch, and I think everyone will be thrilled with the end result of the restoration when we tee it back up in a few short months.

Board Retreat In March, the Board of Governors attended a two-day Board Retreat led by private club consultants from Kopplin, Kuebler and Wallace and Club Benchmarking. The Board learned about best practices in governance and finance and it was refreshing to hear the number of things the Board is doing well. This also gave us some opportunities for improvement. The two areas that the Board and management team will focus on for the duration of this year will be stronger committee engagement and goal setting and improvements to our member survey plans. The latter will replace our comprehensive three-year survey with shorter and more targeted ones that will allow the Board and management team to be more proactive with our improvement goals. We look forward to launching our first round of surveys in the fall/winter following the course opening.

As I spent more time around the Club last month, it was amazing to see such tremendous interest in our Club events. I applaud our new Director of Catering, Derek Wilson for putting together a robust calendar for all ages and demographics. The concert on the lawn was a tremendous success, as were all of the Easter festivities that were attended by over 1,400 of our members throughout that week.

We also explored best practices in Club finances. We discussed operating budgets, capital budgets and balance sheets, and received great insight into the key performance metrics that make clubs successful. Of particular importance was learning how TCC stacks up against other high performing clubs. I have included those slides from the presentation to demonstrate how

Timuquana’s capital income, net worth over time and investments in our property, plant and equipment are amongst the best in the industry. This in turn drives the member experience, creates demand and ensures the Club’s future sustainability. It is clear through prior Boards, the Finance Committee and our able Management Team that our Club is on sound financial footing for the future.

Membership As we have communicated through the last few newsletters, the interest in Timuquana has never been higher. Applications for membership continue to pour in at a pace that is exceeding attrition. Considering this level of interest, the Board has been discussing changes to our membership application process, and the individual membership category caps and overall membership cap. Highlighted in the Membership section of the newsletter are the new standards and caps as approved by the Board in April. The Board, having consulted with a number of clubs and consultants, believes these changes are necessary to preserve and enhance the membership experience. The Board believes strongly that culture is the basis of what makes TCC special and by enhancing the membership process and shifting our attention to stronger new member engagement, we have a better

opportunity to ensure our core values are being practiced more consistently. While these changes will impact a number of prospective members currently in the pipeline for membership, we hope that their interest in Timuquana and its long-term impact on their families will far outweigh the additional requirements needed to be considered.

As always, I welcome any feedback you may have about the Club and how we can collectively make it better. Respectfully,

Jim Thompson 2022 - 2023 President

MEMBERSHIP Four years ago, with membership levels at their lowest in a decade, the Club embarked on a change to the membership process in order to drive membership growth. This change reduced the number of supporting letters required for an applicant and eased the candidate interview schedule in order to take advantage of the heightened interest in the Club. The Preview Program, as we called our membership drive, was wildly successful, growing membership by over 125 members from 2017 to 2019. This growth is one of the key reasons why the Club is in such a healthy state today. At this point, while interest in membership remains strong, the Club has reached what we believe is a healthy membership level. As a result, the Board of Governors has approved adjustments to the membership process that will reinforce the Club’s core values and culture. This revised process will place emphasis on more in-depth candidate interviews, require additional supporting letters detailing the degree of familiarity each sponsor has with the candidate, and institute a new member onboarding and orientation program. Kate Nolte, our new Director of Membership & Employee Engagement, will lead the Board and Management Team in the execution of this membership process. In November 2021, the Board of Governors closed the primary waiting list for those applicants who were already in the membership process. At that time, all new prospective members were placed on a secondary wait list, with no timeline established for invitation to the Club. Considering the length of the primary waiting list, the Board of Governors will ask those on the secondary waiting list to resubmit their applications under the new membership process standards highlighted below. Those on the primary waiting list will not need to reapply under the new standard. Additionally, the Club will not accept any applications for membership until after September 1, 2022. MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS CHANGES: Supporting Letters • The Board will require four (4) supporting letters for membership. • Two (2) of the four letters will need to be from Founder members. • A primary member must be identified and will be responsible for ensuring the completion of the application process. • The letters will be submitted in the form of a completed “Sponsor Form” (available online) that will

include an attestation by the sponsoring member of their thorough knowledge of the prospective member and their family. The form must be completed in its entirety by all four sponsoring members. In order to complete the Sponsor Form, the sponsoring member will need to spend a significant amount of time with the applicant. As a result, sponsors will be encouraged to invite the applicant to play golf at the Club, come to dinner or otherwise spend enough time with them to vouch for the applicant’s suitability for membership. Deposit • All categories (including legacies and reinstatements), with the exception of Founders, will be required to provide a nonrefundable deposit of $2,500 as part of the application process. Founder applicants will be required to pay a nonrefundable deposit equal to 10% of the current initiation fee. This amount gets credited to the member’s initiation fee upon joining. Deposits are refundable only when the Club rejects applications. Background/Credit Check • All applicants will be required to complete a background and credit check. The prospective member will cover the cost of the credit and background check. A credit card authorization form will be part of the application process and must be completed and included in the final submission to the Membership Office. Completed File • All letters and forms, including the application, background check, and deposit, are required when submitting to the Membership Office. Only complete application packages will be accepted by the Membership Office. The Membership Office will not accept certain pieces of the full file at different times. Once a full file is completed, and the deposit applied, the prospective member will wait for the availability of interviews with the Membership Committee. Interviews • As required, the Club will schedule prospective member dinner interviews each month. Dinners are for the member and spouse (if applicable). These dinners will be scheduled on the first Thursday of each month from 6:00–7:30 pm and conducted by two members of the Membership Committee. • The Membership Committee will submit a recommendation to the Membership Office in advance of the following Board meeting. W W W.T I M U Q UA N A . N E T | 6

Board Cocktail Reception • The Monthly Board Cocktail Reception will continue when required as normally scheduled from 6:00–6:45 pm when candidates have completed the interview process. A maximum of four (4) prospective members will be invited when a cocktail reception is scheduled. The Board has discussed these changes with various club consultants and believes these changes reflect best practices in the club industry for those of our stature and wait list. MEMBERSHIP CAP Based on the increased rounds of golf and waiting lists for popular Club events, the Board believes that the current membership cap of 1,100 is too high and that reducing the overall membership size will improve the membership experience for all current members. As a result, at Founders Day in 2023, the Board expects to propose to the membership that the overall cap of 1,100 be reduced to 1,075, with that reduction to occur by normal attrition. The Board will continue to review the overall membership cap based on usage over the next few years. JUNIOR & INTERMEDIATE MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES The By-Laws of the Club set the Founder membership cap at 500. With the influx of Junior and Intermediate members over the past four years, the Club’s pipeline to the Founder category is nearly 150 Juniors and Intermediates. With 449 Founder members as of May 1, it will take only a few years for the Club to hit the Founder cap of 500 as Juniors and Intermediates age up. As a result, the Board of Governors believes that immediate action is required. Effective immediately, the Board will freeze all Junior and Intermediate applications for the foreseeable future. Those Junior and Intermediate candidates now on the primary waitlist will be offered the opportunity to amend their applications to join, if they so desire, to either Founder or House Social. Further, the Board anticipates combining the Junior and Intermediate categories into a single Junior category and capping that category at a number appropriate to feed a Founder population of 500 (probably 75-100 Juniors). THE FUTURE With the foundation we have created over the past few years, we believe that the Club has an opportunity to create a stronger culture and a more pleasurable membership experience by making these changes. We believe the capital investments in the golf course, pool, and Pow Wow Room and future facility enhancement plans have created a considerable and sustainable member value, and we look forward to this change to continue to enhance each of your experiences at TCC. The new membership process and supporting documentation will be made available under the membership portion of the Club’s website and through our Membership Office no later than August 1, 2022.

WELCOME KATE NOLTE Please help us welcome Kate Nolte as our new Director of Membership & Employee Engagement. Kate started her career in food and beverage as F&B Director at Milwaukee Country Club. From there, she made the transition to Human Resources and was the Director of Employee Engagement at the Country Club of DC Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona, and then the HR Manager at Serenata Beach Club here in Jacksonville. Kate is active in the Club Managers Association of America and will be testing for her Certified Club Manager designation later this year. With the Club reaching its membership cap and a strong waiting list, the Club is taking the opportunity to restructure the function of the Membership Director role. This role will concentrate more heavily on member relationships and membership onboarding versus administration of the membership process. As referenced in the membership section, the Board will be making a change to the membership process. This change allows us to redirect our staff’s attention to the membership experience. In addition, we all know that our greatest asset is our staff. This position will take the same model of enhancing the membership experience and apply it to the Club’s staff. This will include employee engagement surveys, creating fun incentive programs, ensuring proper training, and new team member orientation. We are excited about this new role at Timuquana and believe Kate is a terrific fit. Please help us welcome her as you see her around the Club this summer.

WELCOME CAROLINE DAVIS We are pleased to introduce Caroline Davis as the Club's Communications Coordinator. This is a new position for TCC that was previously part of the responsibilities of our Membership & Marketing Director. Caroline will be responsible for improving content, frequency, branding, and consistency of Club communications. With a strong design background, Caroline will also be responsible for improving the Club's website, building a new annual Club calendar, helping launch a Club app in the fall, and aiding our Marketing Manager, Amanda, in some of the day-to-day functions of posting on social media, creating flyers, video production, and taking photos of our various events and programs. Caroline has a BS in Communications from Lee University in Tennessee and was on the women's golf team holding the position of captain during her junior and senior years.

GOLF NEWS We are halfway through our course closure, and things will be shaping up nicely for a late August opening. We have finished sprigging the Bermuda grass on the fairways and greens, and now we wait patiently for the grass to continue to grow and mature. Alan Brown and his team will spend the next few months working in our expanded native areas planting grasses that include centipede, broomsedge, and wiregrass We will continue to update you in our weekly Golf News emails. In case it has been a couple of weeks since your last visit to the Club, I want to remind you that our Golf Shop is currently under renovation. We have temporarily moved the Golf Shop to the President’s Room, where we will be until mid-August. Our inventory is limited at this time. However, we still have golf essentials available such as balls and gloves. We look forward to welcoming you to our new Golf Shop in mid-August before the golf course opens.

We will update you in early July with our plan for reopening the golf course. As many of you are trying to make plans for the fall, I will go ahead and inform you that the course will be open for member-only play in September and October. We will open the course for family guests beginning in November, and regular guests will be allowed to play beginning in December. We greatly appreciate your patience during the course closure and we are confident that you will enjoy the changes that are being made. Please do not hesitate to contact the Professional Staff to schedule a tour to see the work that has been done.

Like warm-ups, cool downs are often overlooked but should be used at the end of a session to lower your heart rate and slow your breathing. Want to improve your exercise routine?
