Good morning,
I hope everyone has had a great week and is enjoying the unseasonal weather for Florida and that everyone had a nice Valentines Day.
I know that I have taken numerous questions on the Golf Course this week about the conditions and what the team in doing on the Golf Course. They were very aggressive with the greens and trying to fix the bad spots on the typical holes that have issues – 3,5,7 & 16. They have taking plugs out of better greens to fix these areas on the bad greens, and I have gone out to all the greens and have asked today to fix other spots and make sure they are smooth and taken care of properly. We also need to remember that with those two (2) weeks of unseasonal weather the grass went dormant, and grass doesn’t grow, and we need temperatures in the 60’s at night for the soil to grow and it will come back with all the fertilization we’ve done in the past two weeks. I meet with Todd daily and also ride the course daily as I have the same concerns as every else does and have a very short window, I’ve given to get these items corrected.
Next week the team is only working on the areas I’ve asked Todd and his team to work on and we do have a punch list for all 18 holes with deadlines and goals to accomplish.
As, I said last week the Golf Operations team continues to grow and have brought in some new employees and we are excited to see new faces and excited to be on the team. There will be some mistakes made and we will continue to work with them so we eliminate them as fast as we can.
Appreciate everyone that played in the Mixed Couples event last Saturday and Congrats to the winners and glad everyone had a great time.
