Dornoch and Presidents Rooms We will continue upgrades to our interior spaces this summer with renovations to the Dornoch and Presidents Rooms. Both rooms will receive a complete interior improvement, including new carpet, paint, millwork, ceilings, lighting, fixtures, and conference audio/visual upgrades. Work begins June 14 and will last about ten weeks. During this time, since we will be short on private event space, Timuquana Treehouse will be offered only on nights when the St. Johns and Grand Ballroom are available. Treehouse dates will be listed in our weekly emails. Also, these rooms are typically used for hosting larger groups for a la carte dinner that are too large for the Pow Wow or River Rooms. During the renovation period, the largest parties we can accommodate in the Pow Wow Room are 10, and 8 in the River Room. Larger groups will need to make arrangements for the use of the River Room during non-operating hours and the St. Johns Ballroom, if available.

Driving Range Beginning May 3, the Driving Range will be closed for renovation. Work on this area is expected to continue through August 31. While the range is under renovation, we will have two practice nets available for warming up prior to your round. The plan includes shifting the teeing ground back closer to the fence line, reshaping the direction of the range, and clearing out and extending the area to the left of hole eight in the background, creating a new back tee. The short game area will be expanded and recontoured to provide more ability to hit shots that would mimic those on the golf course.

Locker Room & 19th Hole When the Golf Course is closed for summer aerification, the Men’s Locker Room and 19th Hole will be closed from June 1–June 14 for structural steel reinforcement work.

This was previously scheduled as part of the Pow Wow Renovation project, but was rescheduled to this time to align with the course closure and reduce the impact on the membership. We apologize for the inconvenience and expect to reopen both areas on Tuesday, June 15.

FROM THE PRESIDENT When I began my role as President, I was humbled by the challenges faced by my predecessors. They were tasked with navigating a growing membership, ensuring the Club’s amenities met the current and future needs of members, and making sound decisions in the financial management of the Club.

As I take the reins to build upon all they have accomplished, I see new opportunities to manage growth while preserving Timuquana as the hidden gem we all love.

After taking time to review the nearly 50 pages of verbatim comments received in our recent Member Opinion Survey, I want to address some of the areas identified as most in need of improvement. I’m proud to report that the Club’s overall member satisfaction performance far exceeded survey results from 2016, with 125 of the 149 questions receiving satisfied scores—up 44 from our 2016 results.

We are pleased that the Club’s staff is delivering a better member experience and that the investments in our facilities have garnered significant support.

We always have work to do and will continue to address areas of improvement along the way. The following Q & A section addresses some of your top feedback concerns: Q: It feels like the Club has a lot of members. It is tough to access events and wait times for dining and golf are very long. It seems too easy and too inexpensive to be a member at TCC. What is the Board doing to address these concerns?

A: The Board certainly recognizes the volume of activity at the Club. In 2019, the Club had 1,026 members at what we consider to be an appropriate volume of usage. With

4 | M AY/J U N E 2 0 2 1

membership increasing by a net of 75 since that time and the pandemic contributing to many families staying at home, usage has increased considerably. In response, we have capped the membership at 1,100. While we believe that activity will decrease as members start to travel, the Board will continue to review this overall cap for any necessary adjustment, and would consider incrementally reducing the membership cap size as needed.

With improvements to the pool and Pow Wow Room, as well as ongoing progress in service and programming, the Board feels that TCC is in a position to command a higher initiation fee. The initiation fees were increased 15% in January and will be reviewed annually. With a pending closure to the golf course in 2022 to replace irrigation and green complexes, the natural time to review another increase in these fees is early next year, ahead of the Founder’s Day Annual Meeting.

Q: With the growing number of young families, will you offer more opportunities for childcare or consider adding a childcare center?

A: We are exploring a childcare facility as part of our overall long-term Master Plan. Unfortunately, this will not be an immediate fix. Currently planned renovations include the golf course and remaining interior areas of the clubhouse that need a refresh. Future plans to expand the fitness or tennis centers, where a likely addition of childcare facilities would most likely be housed, is still a number of years away. The Club will continue to offer Treehouse on Friday and Saturday evenings and expanded childcare for certain Club events.

Q: We love the new Pow Wow Room design, but service promptness is still less than desirable. How is this being addressed?

A: Yes, it is true that service at times at opening were longer than anticipated. That was in part due to volume with most nights averaging between 75-125 more diners than normal. Chef Lew and management are working to streamline the menu, add occasional buffets and are keenly focused on staff development. With The Grove now open, we believe this should alleviate the high and condensed volume of diners in Pow Wow. Additionally, the Club is experiencing significant labor shortages that are impacting restaurants and clubs locally, regionally and nationally. Recent stimulus payments, tax refunds and extended unemployment benefits are impacting the hospitality industry and TCC is not immune to these challenges. The Club will continue its ongoing efforts to recruit and train top talent but does ask for the members' patience as we may be short staffed at times.

Q: We wish there were more transparency from the Board on its activities and the Club’s financial performance. Where can I learn more about the governance of the Club?

A: In 2019, the Board added a Board of Governance page to the website. In this section, members can find the Annual Report, Member Opinion Survey results, Master Plan information, Navy easement updates and use of funds, and a monthly Board Meeting update. In the Board update, we provide a narrative of the key points of the Club’s financial performance and impactful line item explanations.

Q: It seems like members are not following important policies such as dress codes or watching their children. It does not seem like the Club’s staff is empowered to enforce the rules.

How is this being addressed?

A: We agree that we need to do a better job in this area.

Last year we sent a letter to all members addressing these concerns, and reiterated the importance of being held accountable for our behavior and those of our family members and guests. The Club’s staff is working on

discussing these important policies during new member orientations, and they are included in our New Member Orientation Guide. We will continue to communicate these policies and take any disciplinary action necessary for ongoing issues. While Greg and his team will work more diligently to enforce the rules, we need to take it upon ourselves as members to follow the policies.

Q: Why isn’t The Grove open all year round? We often see great weather in January and February and we would love to use the firepit in the cooler months.

A: The Board and management staff will review this summer season to see if it is economically viable to do so. Currently The Grove is open from March 1–October 31. The four-month off season is often very unpredictable for weather and, more likely than not, The Grove would go unutilized (which is often the case in late October and early March). We understand that there are often streaks of a few good weather days. These are equally tough to staff as the Club doesn’t carry extra staffing for such varied use, and prepping product often results in a lot of waste. The firepit does operate year round by simply asking a manager to turn it on for you. We are thrilled the membership enjoys The Grove as the terrific amenity it is, and yet we need to ensure its opening makes sense operationally and that our staff are used most efficiently.

With the coronavirus vaccine distribution accelerating and life for many returning more to pre-covid norms, we believe much of our overcrowding concerns will be alleviated. However, we do understand the sensitivity of being able to enjoy TCC at the times you want to enjoy it and at the service level you expect. I can assure you the Board and management team have the same goal. As always, I welcome your feedback at any time.

With sincere appreciation,

Michael Muldoon 2021 - 2022 President

MEMBERSHIP & MARKETING Following the Founder's Day Annual Meeting in March, the Club enacted a number of changes to the Bylaws. These changes were proposed by our Board of Governors and Bylaws Committee, and were voted on and approved by our Founder and Honorary Life members. One of the most significant of these changes, was capping the membership of the Club.

Membership Cap & Wait List With all of the growth Timuquana has experienced over the past few years, the Board of Governors recognized the need to preserve the membership experience for everyone here at TCC. With that in mind, our voting members approved a cap to the overall membership of the Club at 1100.

For the first time in our Club's history, we have officially moved to a wait list.

Can prospective members still apply?

We still encourage current members to refer their friends, neighbors and colleagues to TCC. Prospective members will go through all of the same steps to apply for membership and seek full approval. Once fully-approved, their names are then placed on the wait list. As space opens up those on the wait list will be invited to join, based on the parameters outlined in the Bylaws.

How long is the wait list?

Because of the variable nature of monthly attrition, it is difficult to predict the average wait time for prospective members. At this time, we expect the wait time for new members to be a minimum of three to four months; however, the actual wait time may be longer given the high volume of applications we are receiving.

Important Process Changes Approved Bylaw changes also include updates to our processes for reinstatement and category transfers. We encourage everyone to visit the Bylaws section of the "My Club" tab on the TCC website to see our latest copy of the Bylaws. A limited number of printed copies are also available upon request from our Concierge.

If you have questions about these changes, need assistance with your membership, or would like to sponsor a new member, please feel free to contact me at any time.

GOLF NEWS The 2021 tournament season is off to a great start!

Congratulations to our Men’s Club Champion Sam Geise, Senior Club Champion Mike Vallencourt, Sr., and Super Senior Champion John Hannon. In March we saw another successful Pow Wow Tournament where Jason Kuder and John Donaldson defended the title, while Jim Furyk and John Roberts won the Pow Wow Gross Championship. We would also like to congratulate Kelly Varn, Beth Pulignano, and their guests, Sarah Edwards and Mindy McCann, for winning the Ladies’ Member-Guest. Allison Vogt, Margaret Gibbs, and their guests, Marion Detlefson and Becky Rood, were the Ladies’ Member-Guest Gross Champions.

Driving Range Renovation Beginning May 3, the Driving Range will be closed for renovation. Work on this area is expected to continue through August 31. While the range is under renovation, we will have two practice nets available for warming up prior to your round.

The plan includes shifting the teeing ground back closer to the fence line, reshaping the direction of the range, and clearing out and extending the area to the left of hole eight in the background, creating a new back tee. The short game area will be expanded and recontoured to provide more ability to hit shots that would mimic those on the golf course.

Men’s Four-Ball Championship The Men’s Four-Ball Championship will be played Friday, May 14 – Saturday, May 15. The course will close to noncompetitors on Friday, May 14, and will reopen on Saturday, May 15 at 2:30 pm.

Couples’ Wine & Beer 9-Hole Tournament On Friday, May 21 couples will have the chance to play 9 holes while tasting wine and beer along the way. This event will be a shotgun start on the front 9 at 5:30 pm. Cost: $45 per player.

Spots are limited so be sure to sign-up soon! To register, contact the Golf Shop at 904.389.0477.

Memorial Day Tournament On Monday, May 31 the Club will be hosting its annual Memorial Day Tournament. There will be a shotgun start at 8:30 am for members only. There will also be a 1:30 pm shotgun for spouses, dependents, and members with guests.

Golf Course Aerification As we have done in years past, the golf course will be closed from Tuesday, June 1 through Monday, June 14 for annual 1 2 | M AY/J U N E 2 0 2 1

course maintenance. During these two weeks, Alan Brown and his team will aerify the greens and fairways. The course will open for play and normal operation on Tuesday, June 15.

Guest & Caddie Policy Our new Guest & Caddie Policy is now in effect. All groups with two or more guests, including family guests, will be required to take a forecaddie or walking caddie. Requiring caddies to assist our guests will enhance the guest experience by upholding the traditions of the game with a proper pace of play, care of the course, and overall course and Club etiquette. We ask that all members bringing guests please notify the Golf Shop 24-hours in advance so that we may reserve a caddie for you.

In April, our weekend guest policy was put into effect. Only family guests and non-resident guests may play on Saturdays and Sundays. A non-resident guest is one living outside the following counties: Duval, St. Johns, Baker, Clay, and Nassau County. Please also remember that a guest may only play six rounds annually at TCC.

GOLF DEVELOPMENT

SUPERSPEED TRAINING Adding speed to a golf swing can be an effective way to add more yards off the tee.

When golfers try to add swing speed, they typically swing harder, not faster. The solution is “Overspeed Training” and SuperSpeed Golf.

TENNIS NEWS The cooler spring weather, along with a packed social and competitive calendar, made this spring at the Tennis Center very active. We wrapped up our second major of the 2021 calendar, the Member-Member, in April, had a jammin’ turn out for the Reggae Social, and watched some of the best juniors at the Club as they competed in our annual USTA junior tournament. The spring was also a busy time for the ladies’ leagues as they wrapped up their ’20–21 seasons. Our ladies' B and C First Coast teams took home the city-wide championships this year in both their divisions. Our B team has won this championship two out of the last three years.

A big congratulations to them both! We will be adding an additional team this fall as we introduce a full-time D team into the mix.

As we move towards summer, our schedule stays very busy.

May 21–23 we'll launch our inaugural Men’s Pro-Am. Twenty pros from around the southeast are coming to Timuquana to play with twenty of our members. Come out and cheer on your favorite tennis players in this action-packed event!

Starting in June, our junior programming shifts from afternoon to early mornings as we beat the heat. During the week, both Red and Orange Ball programming will start at 9:00 am. Check with the Pro Shop to schedule your clinics. Summer tennis camp will run the week of June 21–24 from 9:00 am–1:00 pm.

Lunch, prizes, and awards are given out to each of the campers.

Spots are filling fast, so please be sure to sign-up early.

We are excited to bring back a summer tradition for the ladies.
