GOLF

Dear Members,

Thank you all for allowing us to have a nice competitive golf season, and congratulations to all the champions of the various events! A big thank you to all who participated this year. Just because the season is coming to an end, doesn’t mean that there won’t be golf played this summer. In fact, we have several holiday events planned, like summer sunset 9-hole events, and play with the pro events, plus skills games and complementary clinics. First on the list is our annual Kentucky Derby nine-hole event, followed by the viewing of the Kentucky Derby. Contact the Golf Pro Shop at 561-622-1620 for additional information. We will communicate the dates and formats for all the summer events under separate cover. Mr. Jim Anchin has been appointed to serve as the new Golf Committee Chair and a new committee has been appointed. The tasks that have been given to the committee are: improving our golf event programing, enhancing services, integrating our newer members into golf games, and actively encourage those that are new to golf to take up the game. Therefore, if you have any suggestions or ideas, please don’t hesitate to share. As most of you have probably noticed, we have started the North course greens re-grassing project. The elimination of the existing turf has begun, and additional spraying applications will be applied throughout the month of May. The North course, along with the North course practice putting green, will close on June 1. It is anticipated this project will last four and a half months, and we hope to reopen in mid- October. We will keep you update as this project progresses. Normally we would have a full area club reciprocity program in place for our summer residents, however, due to Covid-19, we do not have any reciprocal club agreements in place this summer. If some clubs do open up to outside play this summer, we will let you know, just in case you need a change in scenery.

If we can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a great summer.

Health and Happiness,

J.R. Congdon Director of Golf (561) 6 22-1620 jrcongdon@frenchmanscreek.com

Prepare early for HURRICANE SEASON

• Should you need to evacuate, prepare a “go kit” with personal items you cannot do without during an emergency. Include items that can help protect yourself and others from COVID-19, such as hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, bar or liquid soap, disinfectant wipes (if available) and two masks for each person. Masks should not be used by children under the age of 2. They also should not be used by people having trouble breathing, or who are unconscious, incapacitated, or unable to remove the mask without assistance. • Find a safe place to shelter and have several ways to receive weather alerts, such as National Weather Service cell phone alerts, NOAA Weather Radio, or (@NWS) Twitter alerts. • Find out if your local public shelter is open, in case you need to evacuate your home and go there. Your shelter location may be different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. • If you need to go to a disaster shelter, follow CDC recommendations for staying safe and healthy in a public disaster shelter during the COVID-19 pandemic. • Follow guidance from your local public health or emergency management officials for when and where to shelter. • Make a plan and prepare a disaster kit for your pets. Find out if your disaster shelter will accept pets. Typically, when shelters accommodate pets, they are housed in a separate area from people.

• Your planning may be different this year because of the need to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. • Give yourself more time than usual to prepare your emergency food, water, and medicine supplies. Home delivery is the safest choice for buying disaster supplies; however, that may not be an option for everyone. If in-person shopping is your only choice, take steps to protect yourself and others’ health when running essential errands. • Limit in-person visits to the pharmacy. Sign up for mail order delivery, or call in your prescription ahead of time and use drive-through windows or curbside pickup, if available. • Pay attention to local guidance about updated plans for evacuations and shelters, including shelters for your pets. • When you check on neighbors and friends, be sure to follow social distancing recommendations (staying at least 6 feet from others) and other CDC directives to protect yourself and others.

• Follow safety precautions when using transportation to evacuate. If you have to travel away from your community to evacuate, follow safety precautions for travelers to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. If you will be staying with friends or family outside your household to evacuate from the storm: • Talk to the people you plan to stay with about how you can protect yourselves from COVID-19. • Consider if either of your households has someone who is at higher risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19, including older adults or people of any age who have underlying medical conditions. Make sure everyone knows what they can do to keep them safe from COVID-19. • Follow everyday preventive actions, including covering your mouth while coughing and sneezing, washing your hands often, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Consider taking extra precautions for people living in close quarters. • Plan what to do if someone in your family or in the household you are staying with becomes sick with COVID-19. STAYNG WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY

In addition to following guidance for staying safe and healthy after a hurricane, note that: • You should continue to follow preventive actions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19, like washing your hands and wearing a mask during cleanup or when returning home. • It may take longer than usual to restore power and water if they are out. Take steps to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning if you use a generator. • If you are injured or ill, contact your medical provider for treatment recommendations. Keep wounds clean to prevent infection. Remember, accessing medical care may be more difficult than usual during the pandemic. • Dealing with disasters can cause stress and strong emotions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is natural to feel anxiety, grief, and worry. Coping with these feelings and getting help when you need it will help you, your family, and your community recover. • People with preexisting mental health conditions should continue with their treatment and be aware of new or worsening symptoms. Additional information can be found at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration page (www.samhsa.gov). • After a hurricane, it’s not unusual for rats, mice, and other pests to try to get into your home or building. Be aware that with restaurant and commercial closures related to COVID-19, there are already reports of increased rodent activity as they try to seek other sources of food. Follow recommendations for keeping pests out of your home. STAY SAFE AFTER A HURRICANE
