February welcomed us with snow! So much that we have not had much opportunity to get out and play golf. In addition to mostly unplayable courses, February also brought some frigid temperatures that kept us inside as well. But as we know, snowpack is good for the turf, so we take it. As we are partially open now, Glenn and his crew are tasked with plenty of wildlife cleanup which is time consuming. As March gets underway, hopefully green grass and more golf is near.
Our proshop remodel is near completion(as I write this on 2/23/22). As usual, we had a few setbacks that made it a later date. As you read this piece, we should be operating in our new shop! Going through this rigorous process, we learned that there are many other issues or additional projects that can “pop up”. We are in the middle of these as well. We will be continually working on many “finishing touches” between now and Memorial Day; hopefully sooner. Some of these are window replacements, door replacements, trim matching, painting, staining, and decorating. As this transition is here we are learning our new digs and space use. Just know that we are working hard to get these final touches completed while still dealing with supply and labor issues.
As you know we are using Golf Genius registration for all tournaments this year. Again, FORETEES will remain in place for tee times as normal. As far as events, they will simply be listed on the respective tee sheet. All associations will be given a link very soon to be able to access registration and the respective portals for each association. This link will be sent out be each organizations communication chair first. It will also be on the club website under the respective association(ALGA, AL9GA, AMGA, Couples Golf). This information is very soon to go out. We are still finalizing some minor details.
The PGA Merchandise Show was very beneficial and really spent some quality time exploring, buying, and discovering some neat things. As deliveries are coming in frequently, we think you’ll see some new and different looks! We are still experiencing some supply issues that are backing up deliveries but making headway. Golf bags are still difficult, but we hope to be stocked with them soon. Since we’re on supply talk, our 2022 fleet carts will not be delivered until the first quarter of 2023. Those of you that are on the list to purchase a 2018 cart from us please note that. We will be forced to operate these 2018’s until the 2022’s arrive. We are working close knit with ClubCar in getting this fleet thoroughly checked for faulty battery replacements under our warranty.
We have undergone the interview process for our H2B program employees for 2022. We have made our offers and will see who we get once the process is complete. We feel we have some really qualified individuals to join us here and can’t wait for you to experience their service skills.
