The 2022 - 23 season for our food and beverage operation has been the biggest challenge in the history of Frenchman's Creek. Fortunately under the direction of our CEO, Miles Tucker and David Kent (Director of Food and Beverage), and many other strong supporters, all of our venues were up and available for our "very full house" at holiday time. Even as the new year began, the challenges of our new 10 North pavilion, included great opportunities for our new management team to be creative and efficient. The pool cafe has grown into a comfortable space for lunch and dinner, with a cabana bar tucked away for members. Another great "happy hour" spot was established at Tavern on the Range, with plans to be a fun daily meeting place for members and guests. The beach club, has really continued to our "Diamond in the rough " offering a host of special events, and has accommodated the additional needs of the community during this time of transi tion.

The committee (with management support) has worked to dis seminate comments, concerns, and suggestions from our mem bers, in an effort to meet community preferences. There is a dai ly and ongoing effort to make our "Frenchman's Creek In Transi tion " wonderful for everyone. Management remains focused on this goal The immediate accommodations and change that oc curred thus far, promises to soon become a really comfortable and wonderful series of venues for our " dining pleasure " Chuck Sonsteby, Sandi Hoffman and I feel privileged to have had a committed and supportive committee. We cannot thank you enough for all of your time and hard work. We are also thankful for our wonderful Chef Ernesto, Chef Alex,, and the entire Management and staff who work tirelessly to serve us.

One of the golf committee ’ s primary efforts was the enhance ment of the practice facilities. Part of the golf enhancement pro gram, was the upgrade of the practice facilities, which included the replacement all bag stands, the replacement of the golf ball pyramids (which could be untidy) with a new golf ball dispens ing box. Additionally, new trash receptacles, club cleaners, ice chest, a teaching mirror, and all the fairway hitting matts on the South range tee have been replaced with new matts. The most significant upgrade has been the installation of GPS yardage unit on each bag stand that gives exact yardages to each flag. The committee is very pleased with practice facility upgrades, and firmly believe it has enhanced the golf experience. The committee developed and planned a full golf calendar for the year. When planning the calendar, the committee took into con sideration, member feedback from previous years, that there were too many golf events within a short period of time. There fore, the committee made a conscious effort to spread all the golf

events throughout the season. This was accomplished by starting the golf event schedule in the later part of October 2022, running it through mid - April 2023. Both of which are respectively earlier and later than past years. The adjustment in dates, has not had any negative affect on participation, in fact, quite the contrary as we have seen an increase in participation. Also, pertaining the golf calendar, the committee introduced a new golf event this year called the “ King of the Tee ” which is a season long, single elimination bracket event. For the inaugural event, there were (30) two - person teams that participated, which far exceed our expectation, and is a great stepping stone for the event ’ s future success. As a committee, we continue to evaluate all the golf events conducted, to make sure that they are relevant, competitive and fun.
