Upcoming Events

On-The-Green…..Quick Tip

2022 Eagle Harbor Member-Member Golf Tournament

This may not sound like it has anything to do with putting tips, but try this…. sign your name on a piece of paper. See how quick and easy that was? Now try to slowly duplicate that signature. Not so easy. The reason is, you're thinking about it and not tapping into your subconscious, the way you did when you signed the first time. Putting is no different. The best putters see their target line and then roll the ball on that line, just like you saw the paper and then signed it. The lesson is, keep it natural, and don't let yourself get bogged down by anything.

November 12th and 13th (Saturday and Sunday) Start Time: 8:30 am shotgun start each day Formats: Four different 9-Hole Team Formats Call the golf shop today to get signed up for this fun team event!

2022 Thanksgiving Day…..November 24th Golf Course is CLOSED for the day.

EAGLE HARBOR All political signs/flags are to be removed within 7 days after the election date Also keep the following sign/flag rules and regulations in mind: • Eagle Harbor Covenants, Codes & Restrictions: Article V, Section 5.

Signs. "No signs or advertisements of any kind may be placed on any portion of the Property without the approval of Declarant as to size, design, content and location.

• State Statute 720.304: All exterior flags and/or flagpoles shall comply with the Florida Statute 720.304, which reads in part, “homeowners may further display in a respectful manner . . . regardless of any covenants, restrictions, bylaws, rules, or requirements of the association, one official United States flag, not larger than 4.5’ x 6’, and may additionally display one official flag of the State of Florida or

the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard, or a POW-MIA flag. Such additional flag must be equal in size to or smaller than the United States flag.”

STREET PARKING Please be considerate of your neighbors and avoid parking on the street. Blocking a lane of travel makes the neighborhood more difficult to navigate, in addition to restricting access by emergency vehicles.

If you park on the street, please keep the following considerations in mind: • park your vehicle with the flow of traffic, making the rear reflectors more visible to night traffic • do not park in front of fire hydrants • park at least 50 feet from stop signs & intersections • do not block mail carrier access to mailboxes • be considerate of adjacent neighbor access to / from their driveway; especially

when they back out If your household has long term need for additional parking, perhaps you should consider submitting a request for ARC approval to possibly widen or extend your driveway. ARC information and applications can be found by visiting: www.eagleharborassociation.com HOA & ARC monthly meetings: EH ARC: Tuesday, NOV 8 at 5pm @ 1880 Eagle Harbor Pkwy, 32003 EH HOA Board Meeting: Wednesday, NOV 16 at 12pm @Fleming Island Elementary School New Resident or New Mailing Address?
