August Club Update by Golfclubsatthetribute

MANAGER’S Message

Dear Members,

I wanted to take a moment to share a few important updates regarding some improvements we’ll be making over the next couple of months.

Beginning Monday, we will be starting the much-needed Restroom Renovation Project on the Tribute Golf Links. This project will involve the full demolition and rebuild of the existing structure, with an expected completion timeline of 8 weeks. While there may be some temporary inconvenience, the end result will be a significantly upgraded facility that enhances the overall experience.

In addition, starting on Monday, August 4 , we will begin installation of a Modular Wall in the Main Ballroom of the Clubhouse This improvement is designed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and acoustic performance of the space. During the installation, there may be occasional closures or restricted access to the Fireside Dining Area. We will do our very best to schedule this work during off-peak times to minimize disruption to your dining experience.

Lastly, we want to inform you that Callie Morris, our Director of Private Events, has accepted a new opportunity in Destin, Florida and will be leaving the Club. While we are sad to see her go, we are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and wish her continued success in her next chapter.

We appreciate your patience and continued support as we make this enhancement to better serve you and elevate your Club experience. As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns

Mike McCabe, PGA General Manager, Golf Clubs at the Tribute

The Senior flight will be open to all golfers over 55 years of age and will be contested from the White tees. The remaining players that choose to not compete in the Championship flight or do not qualify for the Senior flight will be placed into a separate flight/flights where both Net and Gross prizes will be awarded, this flight will play from the Blue tees.

Rules & Handicap Reminders

Handicap Reminder:

When entering your score in GHIN we as a club suggest you use the hole-by-hole method as opposed to the total score. The reason we suggest this is we use that information to go back and look at hole-by-hole breakdowns to help us determine our course handicap rankings and the GHIN system will help you regulate your Adjusted Gross Score.

Did you know?

The maximum score on any hole a golfer can post to their handicap is a max Net Double Bogey

Rules Reminder – Ball Moved

Many times at our facility we see golfers searching for balls in and around our native areas and throughout the course for that matter. If your ball moves during search it is no penalty, and you would just need to replace the ball to its original spot!
