05.05.2023.FINAL ANNUAL REPORT

This year the golf committee along with the golf professional staff worked together to developed a mutually agreed upon set of goals for the upcoming year. The objective when creating the goals, was they be clear, specific, measurable, and they have an impact on the golf experience. Part of the goals pro cess, was the committee ’ s continued updating and refinement of the golf rules and regulation, to ensure that they closely re flect our evolving golf environment. The revised golf rules have now been submitted to the Board of Governors for final ratification. As part of the new Clubhouse construction project, the golf shop, retail operations, and outside golf hospitality program, were relocated just adjacent the South end of the practice facili

ty. The transition to the new location has been smooth, with little affect on the retail program, or the golf related hospitality services. Adjustments will be made a necessary, to create the optimal golf service environment. The golf professional staff is commitment to servicing the membership and creating an enjoyable golf environment. We encourage our fellow members to acknowledge or golf profes sionals and golf related staff, for the efforts they have made this year.

The Green Committee would like to thank the golf maintenance team for their efforts in keeping the golf courses beautiful. In addition to their normal responsibilities, the maintenance depart ment have played a monumental role addressing the many logis tical needs stemming from the clubhouse project. This list in cludes but was not limited to the widening of the service road, modifications within the maintenance complex to accommodate construction traffic, the temporary cart charging facility, keeping numerous generators topped off with fuel daily, modifications to the north practice tee, relocating 10 north tees, relocating numer ous large trees, the construction of a 100 space temporary park ing lot, the construction of a cart staging area, disturbance from the fitness water line installation and locating or relocating vari ous existing underground services. We would also like to recog nize the membership for taking better care of the courses, most notably by following the cart rules more closely. Last year, the Green Committee and the maintenance department made recommendations to the board in areas where our golf courses would benefit from additional maintenance requirements. It is important now more than ever to make the golf courses the best they can while our clubhouse is under construction and to help make us south Florida ’ s premier club. The operating and capital budgets were boosted significantly as a result of those efforts and here is quick review of the progress we are making. Landscaping: The twiggy wood chips used in the past have been replaced with high quality brown mulch and pine straw. Several plant beds have been completely overhauled and there are plans for several more this season. Overall Detailing: The features of the courses are better main tained by more frequent attention. A special nutrient program is aimed at improving the definition between the different height of cuts. All of our sprinkler heads will be raised and leveled before the end of the season.

Better Bunkers: Daily hand raking of all the bunkers have greatly improved the presentation and playability of our sandy hazards. Dedicated bunker captains on each course helped make this happen because they are personally responsible for the bunker conditions. Better Weed Control: The results of the maintenance team ’ s efforts were noticeable heading into the season. Although there were many thin brown spots, primarily in the roughs of the north course, there was a sizable reduction in the number of visible weeds. The maintenance team looks forward to making bigger gains next summer when being aggressive is crucial. At the end of the summer there will be fewer brown spots and the maintenance team is already planning a strategy to greatly im prove the appearance of the turf prior to next season. Competitor Analysis: Our Club conducts an annual operating and capital budget survey with similar clubs in our area. Alt hough the staffing levels, operating expenses and capital spend ing was augmented substantially, Frenchman ’ s Creek spends much less on the upkeep of their courses than other similar clubs in the area. To be competitive, we will continue to col lect this information and make budget recommendations ac cordingly. We would like to finish by saying it is a pleasure serving on the green committee and that we always welcome feedback that leads to a more enjoyable golf experience. We would also like to thank the entire committee for their service on behalf of the community.
