“Chats with Chip” (Chip Kennedy, General Manager)- Thanks Miguel. Ahh, Spring is in the air! Can you feel it? It’s the season of renewal! The club is buzzing with preparation and anticipation for the upcoming season. Can I take a moment to tell you how much me and my team appreciate you, the members? Thank You! Now, a few notes on the upcoming season:
1) Dues increase – You may have noticed a 15% dues increase on your latest billing statement. I can’t really point to any specific capital improvement or increased service level to explain or justify the increase but the decision to increase was made none the less. Thanks for your support!
2) Dress code – We will be enforcing the dress code much more aggressively this season. Shirts will now be REQUIRED for all members on weekends and during all club sponsored tournaments including the Club Championship and Member/Guest. Our on-course marshal team led by Darrel Bevins has been briefed on these new requirements and stand ready to enforce them by any means necessary.
3) Membership – We lost 33 members over the winter due to resignations but were able to pick up 3 new members for a total of (net) minus 30. To make up for this loss of revenue, we have decided to increase our number of corporate outings and charity scrambles to five (5) per week. This is a great opportunity to showcase our club to members of the community who otherwise wouldn’t be exposed to it. It’s a win-win! We realize this will drastically limit your access to the golf course but as always, we appreciate your understanding. Let’s make 2018 our best year yet!
I’ll see you at the club!
