From You r Boa r d Of Dir ec tor s BY ANNETTE DOERR Well, we made it through the summer as close to normal as this Covid-19 era allowed. It’s hard to believe how fast this summer went, but here we are officially in the Fall season! Our golfers enjoyed amazing weather this summer, and our golf course did not disappoint. Although we got hit very hard with those rainstorms, the new forward bunkers that upgraded early in the season held up extremely well. Reviews of the course have been very positive, and we’ve gained many new golf members during 2021. Several tournaments were held including our Member-Guest, Member-Member as well as private events throughout the season. We still have a few weeks left to play so if you’ve been considering giving the course a try, October is the perfect month! In case you didn’t know, you don’t have to be a golf member to enjoy our beautiful course, we offer resident pricing so stop by the Pro Shop and give golf a try. You can even rent a bucket of balls and practice at our driving range if you’re pressed for time and want to work on your game. The pool crowd also enjoyed a great summer, and we were happy to be able to have our snack bar open all season along with the Halfway House. Patti and her team did a great job keeping everyone fed and hydrated during the season. A huge shout-out to our seasonal lifeguard staff, who made sure everyone stayed safe in and out of the water this summer. The pool itself will be requiring a major overhaul prior to the 2022 season. Once we know our options, we will be providing information to the community. Our restaurant staff also had a phenomenal summer especially with all the staffing challenges we endured. If you haven’t stopped in to check out our new menu, I strongly suggest you make a reservation ASAP! Our new chef, whom we welcomed in July, is doing a phenomenal job.
