Mission Statement

Timuquana will offer its members, their families and guests exceptional social, golf and recreational experiences, which foster enduring friendships and preserve community.

As Fall approaches, so does the third annual Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS PGA Champions Tour tournament. As most of you are aware, the Jim & Tabita Furyk Foundation has approached the Board of Governors about extending the tournament contract, which currently ends following the 2025 event. In order to provide our members with information about the tournament, its benefits to the Club, and its impact on the City of Jacksonville, the Board, along with Jim and Tabitha, held two Town Hall meetings in August. For those who attended either of the Town Halls, thank you for your time and your thoughtful questions and comments. For anyone who was unable to attend either meeting, we have highlighted some of the important details below.

Shortly after this year’s tournament, the Board will conduct a brief survey to ascertain the membership’s views on continuing to host the tournament after 2025. This survey will be open to members of all categories, and we encourage everyone to participate. The higher the member participation in the survey, the more informed the Board will be on the membership’s views prior to making a final decision on an extension.

We also encourage members to attend the tournament this year. It is a terrific way to entertain guests and enjoy time with your family and fellow members, all while watching some legends of the game take on our golf course.

The Board, Greg Sheara, our General Manager, and Adam Renfroe, the FURYK & FRIENDS Tournament Director, are available for any questions you may have related to the tournament or the proposed extension. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

FURYK & FRIENDS TOWN HALL HIGHLIGHTS

Charitable Impact

The tournament’s first two years have raised $2.4mm in charitable contributions. These charitable dollars benefit Jacksonville-area charities, such as the YMCA, Family Links, Habitat for Humanity, and St. Johns Riverkeeper.

Community Impact

In addition to the numerous charities the tournament supports, the event brings significant economic activity to the City of Jacksonville. The Foundation’s partners at Visit Jacksonville estimate the event generates nearly $8.5mm in business sales through the tournament and related spending from players, families, and visitors from around the Southeast.

Media Reach

During the first two years, the tournament was viewed by over 3.6mm people around the globe, providing valuable exposure for the Club. This notoriety, heightened by the platitudes lavished on Timuquana by the TV announcers and Champions Tour players, drives exceptional interest among potential members. This, in turn, allows the Club to maintain a healthy membership pipeline.

Awards

The 2022 tournament was voted by the players as the Players Best Tournament on the Champions Tour. This is an extraordinary honor for a tournament in only its second year.

Contract Extension Terms

The framework for a contract extension discussed to date includes:

• A three-year contract followed by a two-year option that the Club can exercise should it wish to continue after year three.

• An improved site fee and commission structure will net the Club over $300,000 annually and increase above inflation each year.

4 | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2023

• A not-to-exceed five-week setup period, with a $1,500 per day liquidated damages clause, should the breakdown period extend past 21 calendar days.

• A $15,000 annual donation by the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation to the Timuquana Cares Employee Fund.

Under these extension terms, the Club’s net bottom line will improve by nearly $100,000 annually, with an expected net profit of around $1.6mm over the five-year period. For perspective, every 1% in member dues provides almost $70,000 in revenue to the Club meaning the $300,000+ net tournament revenue would offset about 4.5% in dues each year. This revenue would help the Board of Governors minimize annual increases in members’ operating dues.

On behalf of the Board of Governors, we hope everyone will enjoy this year’s tournament and provide thoughtful feedback through the survey afterward. Be sure to keep an eye on future Club communications for more information on when the survey will become available.

Respectfully,

From the General Manager

Tennis Renovations

The current schedule for the tennis renovations will begin on or around January 2 and last for a period of three months. During this time, there will be periodic closures of the Tennis Shop depending on the disruptiveness and safety of the roof work being performed, as well as periodic closures of courts #1 and #2. Please look for future communications that will include specific impacts to tennis operations as we approach the start of construction.

Locker Rooms Closure

The Men’s and Ladies’ Locker Rooms and 19th Hole will close beginning Saturday, September 30, ahead of the Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS Tournament. The locker rooms will not open the week following the tournament, October 9–15, as the Club’s staff clears out all inventory and supplies ahead of demolition which begins Monday, October 16. During this week, should members be interested in obtaining any of the tables, chairs, or furniture from the locker rooms or 19th Hole, please reach out to Greg Sheara at gsheara@timuquana.net. All items will be discarded once demolition commences.

Construction Impact

Beginning Monday, October 16 and for the better part of nine months, a portion of the Pool Parking Lot will be used as a lay-down area for the construction. As we have done with prior renovations, this will impact only five parking spaces. Access to the Pow Wow Room through the pool’s side entrance will also be restricted during this time. Members may access the Pow Wow Room through the Golf Shop or front entrance.

2023 Employee Engagement Survey Results

Continuing efforts to improve the overall staff experience, we are excited to announce that we completed our second annual Employee Engagement survey this past June. The survey’s goal was to measure our employees’ satisfaction levels, bring in new ideas for activities for 2024, and see where we can enhance our current benefits for all employees.

Results of the survey suggest that, in general, 86% of TCC staff are satisfied with their job, 86% feel like they received adequate training, and 82% are likely to recommend employment at TCC to friends and family. An area we are particularly proud of is that 97% of employees understand how their work contributes to the success of the Club. Areas of improvement include focusing on the balance needed between work and personal life, compensation, and managing stress levels.

The survey also highlighted TCC’s current healthcare plan with additional benefits and any future benefits the employees would like to see. At this time, Greg is working with the Club’s broker as part of the normal annual renewal process to ensure the employees have the best healthcare package possible.

Some new ideas for employee engagement activities in 2024 that will be implemented are Employee Appreciation Week, movies on the lawn, Jumbo Shrimp games, and a focus on physical, mental, and financial health and wellness.

We are encouraged by the results we received, as we believe they will translate to an improved membership experience over time. By gaining insights into employee satisfaction and well-being, we can reduce turnover, improve service consistency, and create more meaningful relationships between the members and our team.

From the Courts

Joe Mattingly, Director of Tennis Tennis Tip: From Shaun Zemanek

Breathing and Grip Tension

Holding the racquet too tightly during a match can lead to many problems and having no pace, spin, or depth can put you on the defense early. To help with this, make sure you are breathing out when you hit the ball. Breathing properly allows you to be relaxed and not feel out of breath during point play.

The Power of Stretching Questions & Answers

Does Stretching Really Increase Flexibility?

Yes, stretching can indeed increase flexibility. When you stretch, you elongate the muscles and tendons, which allows for a greater range of motion in the joints.

Does Stretching Reduce Soreness After a Workout?

Personal training provides many benefits to those looking to improve their fitness and overall health. Personal trainers help you reach you goals more efficiently with personalized workout plans and provide guidance on proper technique, which reduces the risk of injury. Personal training also provides accountability and motivation during your fitness journey.

Interested in personal training? Each personal training package purchased in September will include a TCC t-shirt.

Join PureBarre instructor Hayes

Havener on the River Lawn for Mimosas, fresh fruit, parfaits, and, most importantly, Barre!

Cost: Complimentary for members, $15 per accompanied guest.

For questions or to register, contact Tracy Markley at 904.388.2664 x. 144 or tmarkley@timuquana.net.

Although there is not a lot of research to prove that stretching helps reduce soreness, countless athletes and personal trainers claim to experience many benefits from stretching after a workout. Other strategies like foam rolling and active recovery can also help.

Should You Do Static or Dynamic Stretching Before a Workout?

Dynamic stretches are best performed during the warm-up before a workout, and static stretches should be performed during the cool-down after a workout. Dynamic stretches consist of holding a stretch for a few seconds and repeating it several times, while static stretching is when a stretch is held consistently for a longer amount of time, such as 60 seconds.

I Used to Be Flexible; What Happened?

We lose our natural flexibility as we age, but we can regain it. To regain flexibility, begin stretching regularly and be patient and consistent with your routine.

Can Stretching Improve Posture?

Yes, stretching and strength training can help improve posture by addressing muscle imbalances and tightness.

How Do I Start a Stretching Routine?

First, set a goal and choose a convenient time to stretch. You may also choose to utilize resources in the Fitness Center. The Group Fitness Schedule offers a variety of Stretch, Pilates, and Yoga classes. Secondly, focus on major muscles during the warm-up, gradually increase the intensity, listen to your body, be consistent, and stay hydrated.

It’s crucial to prioritize both flexibility and strength training in your fitness routine to optimize performance, reduce the risk of injury, and promote overall physical well-being. If you are unsure about proper form or need guidance, consider working with one of our highly qualified personal trainers. They can provide personalized instruction and ensure you are performing stretches and exercises correctly. Remember, regularly stretching is a must to truly experience the benefits. Consistency is key to unlocking the power of stretching.
