FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Members,

Spring is here and activities at the club are in full swing! Membership usage across the club continues to trend upward, including robust Food & Beverage sales, strong event attendance , as well as high golf, tennis and fitness participation.

To keep pace with the first quarter, a full April calendar is planned including some member favorites: Tennis Member Guest, Easter Egg Hunt and Golf Club Championship In addition, our theme night dinners and daily happy hour specials continue to be popular. Signups for Swim Team are currently underway so be sure to register your family for one of the great summer traditions at San Jose.

Our annual audit was completed and a clean audit opinion issued. You can find the audit report on our website. In March, the Board approved a cap on the golf membership category of 475, which we are quickly approaching with the successful membership upgrade and member referral programs. The cap is driven primarily by usage of the golf course 12 spots remain in the golf member category

Spring represents a significant time in our club’s history A letter authored by Donald Ross in the spring of 1925 communicating the completion and delivery of our golf course design and plans can be found in the Tufts Museum in Pinehurst, NC. In addition, detailed hole-by-hole handwritten notes memorialize Donald Ross’ attention to detail and creativity in the course design we enjoy 100 years later. Spring has always been a special time of year at San Jose!

Warm regards,

Will Morgan San Jose Country Club President
