Dear MGC Members,
Fall has arrived and we are sad seeing some of our key staff leave for school and other jobs in the south. Our staff performed very well in 2022, and we look at improving even more in 2023.
Most of you are aware that this was my first season as a General Manager in the Midwest. My entire career has been in Texas and California, where we are busy year-round. This summer has certainly been the busiest 120 days of my career, but also my most rewarding. You all support your Club tremendously. The tee sheet all spring, summer, and now fall is almost always full. It’s amazing to witness our staff helping all of you enjoy your experience here at MGC, at the pool, dining, events, and of course your most favorite activity, GOLF!
Please watch for a communication from me around October 7th about contributions for the Employee Holiday Appreciation Fund. Today, more than ever we need to show our support to our dedicated MGC staff. Most everywhere, companies are faced with staffing issues, and unemployment in the Cities is at a historical low of 1.8% - there’s not many employees to choose from out there!
From the Strategic Planning Committee survey, to the House Committee, Board of Directors, and your comments, we are adding more events/activities for this Fall and Winter. In November, we have a high-end wine dinner along with a fun children’s etiquette class and a Prime Rib night coming in December. After the first of the year, we bring back Bingo, along with a new event, “Paint your Pet”. Nancy has a few things up her sleeve that should be fun. In addition, your staff, Board and Committees are finalizing a 2023 Club Master Calendar. It will include all golf events, Jared’s agronomy schedule (like aeration dates), holiday events and social events all in one document. We are planning to get this to you in December.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible during this last month to play golf, enjoy the patio or come and watch your favorite teams on TV in the Grill.
On behalf of the entire MGC team, thank you for all your support and we look forward to seeing you at the Club soon!
