GORDON & TETYANA GOETZ
We both are a bit of world travelers. I grew up in Wyoming and traveled the world for and with the U S Government Tetyana grew up in Ukraine and traveled the world studying and working in real estate. We met in Germany where we had our two wonderful sons, Gordon Nikolai and Grant Ivan We moved to Florida in 2017 and shortly thereafter the boys got hooked on golf Then we started what we call the “golf club tour of Florida” phase of life As middle and high school approached, we looked for a solid club to support the boys’ golf ambitions In 2020, we learned about Black Diamond Ranch during a trip to Crystal River. By 2021, after looking at clubs from Tampa to Jacksonville, we were engaged in seriously finding a home at Black Diamond Ranch

GOLF COURSE
On greens, we have moved to a hole location system separating the greens into thirds which will be easier for the membership and staff Weekly cultural practices will include vertical mowing in 2 directions, light topdressing, and venting greens as needed.
The aeration process throughout the summer months has benefitted all 3 of the courses. Being able to aerate on tees and fairways has promoted the growth in the turf and set us up for a good growing conditions through the summer For the rest of the summer season we will continue to push the turf as far as we can to be as healthy as possible going into the fall season.
