President’s Report By Ernie Knobloch
he deadline for this article was on April 10, which means that additional things have occurred since the dead line. The work done in Latitude 30 Patio & Grill and the Oak Room has resulted in a significant increase in the usage of both venues. In addition, it’s obvious that there are additional residents, espe cially younger families, enjoying what we have to offer at the Club. Hoppy offers dropin golf in structions to youngsters on some Saturday mornings and parents seem to enjoy sitting on the patio and watching their kids down below. You probably have al ready heard that one of our young golfers, Karstyn Altese, tied for second place in her age group in the national Drive, Chip and Putt contest. The fi nals were held at Augusta National Golf Course (where the Masters Tour nament is held) and were nationally televised. The TV announcers said at least three times that Kar
T
styn was from Diamond head, MS. I wonder how many people thought “Where in the heck in Diamondhead, MS?” We have several hundred participants in the Junior Golf Program. If you use Instagram, consider following The Club at Diamondhead. The POA is increasing the use of Instagram to get pictures out showing com munity events. Some residents have asked, “How does a mem ber become classified as ‘not in good standing?’ ” In the published Bylaws, Section 2.4, page 3, reads “A member in good stand ing is defined as a member who is not more than thirty (30) days past due in the payment of charges and/or assessments to the Corporation and who is not in violation of the declarations of Restric tions, Conditions, Ease ments, Covenant, Agree ments, liens and Charges etc.” Other residents have asked “What happens to a member not in good standing?” In the pub lished Bylaws, Section 2.5,
page 3 reads “… a member who is not in good stand ing shall be suspended from (I) the right to vote on such matters which may come before a mem bership meeting and (II) all other privileges associ ated with membership in the Corporation including the privilege to the com mon facilities of the Cor poration, including the golf courses, country club, marina, swimming pools and other recreational facilities.” If you’ve never played tennis, or haven’t played lately, go to the tennis facility, and speak to Matt. He’s instituting various tennis activities so that everyone can give tennis a try. Several residents have asked about specific pickle ball courts. If you have an interest in playing outside pickle ball, contact one of the POA Board members. Email addresses for all Board members can be found inside the monthly Diamondhead News. Some progress has been made in repairing the marina piers, but the pro cess is tied up with some

legal and financial issues. Hopefully, we’ll see visible progress during the next few months. By the time you read this, all of the swimming pools should be open. Reminder — you need to show your uptodate POA ID card to enter a swim ming area. Have you tried your skills at the ninehole
Frisbee layout at Twin Lakes? Similar to golf, you do have to be aware of the possibility of losing your frisbee on the holes near the water. Members in good stand ing can have their picture taken and then leave with their POA ID cards if they go to the concierge desk near the front door of the Club.
The desk is open during normal business hours plus Saturday mornings. Hope to see you at one of the many POA functions and/or amenity areas. Please take a minute to visit our new websites. We hope you will bookmark them and visit often: www.theclubatdiamond head.com www.diamondheadms.org
