CLUB MANAGER Dear Ocean Edge Members, Traditionally, Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of Summer. However, this past weekend, it felt more like Fall and Winter than Summer. With the restrictions around the state being lifted, we know that we are going to be returning to a sense of normalcy soon and hopefully that includes warmer temperatures and sun for the Summer months. I am excited to be at Ocean Edge and am looking forward to meeting everyone soon. The few members that I have met so far have been extremely friendly and welcoming, which I truly appreciate. Thank you for welcoming me to the Ocean Edge Family. We know that last year was a tough year for everyone for a lot of different reasons. This season we are excited to get back to 100% capacity and having all the outlets and amenities open. Our staff has been working hard the last couple of months and weeks to prepare and we continue to work thru everything as we reopen from 12 months or more of “hibernation”. We appreciate your patience and understanding but please know, we are working as diligently as we can to make sure everything is ready to go for the Summer rush. Our seasonal staff has started to arrive and you will continue to see new faces arrive on property daily as we continue to ramp up. As welcoming as you have been to me, please welcome them to Ocean Edge. They are all excited and eager to help provide you and your family and guests the experience you are looking for. Even though, the masks might still be on right now, you can tell they are all smiling and happy to help in any way. Thank you again for all the support and warm welcomes. I am truly honored to be here and want to make sure we, as a team, are providing you with the experience that you deserve and want. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any comments, concerns or complaints. Positive feedback is always welcome too. I can be reached at christopher.thomas@oceanedge.com or clthomas@troon.com. I am looking forward to a wonderful Summer with everyone! Hope to see you around the club soon! Chris Thomas, PGA ∙ Club Manager
ADVISORY BOARD Welcome back to all our members that head south or west for the winter and hello again to all those that enjoyed a fairly snow free winter on Cape Cod! I would first like to welcome our new Advisory Board members. Our first Advisory Meeting of the new year was this past Saturday May 15th and Ruth Grande, Art Zouharis and Eric Barber joined our meeting and it was a terrific morning. I would also like to send a big thank you to Rosemary O'Reilly and Brian O'Connell for their very positive contributions to the Advisory Board and Ocean Edge during their 3 year tenure on the Board. The entire Food & Beverage Management team joined the meeting in addition to Bob Newman, Chris Thomas and Aimee Guthinger. The Food & Beverage team, led by Tarun Rajain and Chef Philip Flath, have huge plans on their plate(sorry) for the rest of the year. The Linx has a terrific new menu and will be offering specials on a regular basis. Chef Cooper Bogart is back and is being joined by our new Linx General Manager Jason Miller. I have had the pleasure of dining with my family at the Linx a number of times this year already and am very excited about the leadership team running the Linx. The food and service has been excellent. I look forward to each of you meeting our new Club Manager Chris Thomas. Chris has a very impressive background in our industry and has an extremely positive outlook that all team members will enjoy. Please introduce yourself to Chris as you see him around the property...you will be happy you did. There will be many new events taking place on the beautiful front lawn of the Mansion and the additional landscaping that has been added to the area is terrific. Of course a very important goal for Membership and Management alike will be the addition of Member Social events. The end of the month will bring new guidance from the State and we are excited for a normal social calendar to return and to enjoy the company of one another again soon. Aimee Guthinger continues to excel at keeping all of us informed of the goings on at our Club and Resort. Aimee is currently in the process of completely overhauling our Ocean Edge Member website and I am sure we will all be very impressed with the end product. Craig Sullivan and his team have our magnificent golf course in pristine condition and is just hopeful for some end of spring showers! Shayne Sakson has the Pro Shop in order with some terrific new items for sale and is currently completing his staffing for the late Spring and Summer season. Heidi VanAmburgh and her great team are also very excited as many outdoor classes will soon begin and the MSC pool opens on Memorial Day weekend. I am always available to chat with any members on anything, positive or negative, that you may want to share. Cape Cod is looking to have the busiest summer in history and Ocean Edge will be leading that trend as we look to the busiest summer in our history too. This will bring great fun for all but also will come with some new challenges that will bring some changes too. It is going to be a fantastic summer at Ocean Edge. One last tidbit...when you go to the Linx you must try Chef Bogart's new Hoisin chicken wings...just the best.
My very best to all, Craig Mance

2021 TENNIS PROGRAMS
AGRONOMY The Agronomy team is looking forward to a busy and more “normal” golf season for 2021. Our team has been very busy starting with the off-season and our tree programs. Trees were assessed during the 2020 season for safety, playability, and aesthetics. We worked our way around the whole golf course from December until the end of February, concentrating on what we deemed high profile areas. Our goal was on pruning and tree removals to increase turf health, but also make the course more player friendly. Examples of our pruning work and tree removals completed over the winter months are pictured here. Springtime is a busy time for the Agronomy team as many important plant protectants must be applied. Pre and post emergence herbicide for weeds, insecticides that target turf pests, wetting agents that help retain moistures in our soils and allow the plants easier accessibility to water. Also, our granular fertilizer application to all playing surfaces that provide nutrients to the plants through out the summer months. All of these actions together provide the building block to a successful golf season! Lastly, with high amount of rounds we have seen and expect to see this summer, we ask the Membership to help the Agronomy team by fixing an extra ball mark and to fill a few extra divots. Those small gesture will go a long way in helping make a more enjoyable round of golf for all next time out! Hope to see you on the course soon! Craig Sullivan
