GOLF

Dear Members, Recently, I have received several comments and some photographs from members, regarding other members driving too close to greens, tees, and in some instances, dangerously close to bulk heads and lake edges. I have also heard from many members about the lack of respect for the dress code policy, which normally refers to members wearing workout attire on the putting green and practice facilities. I agree that these policies, along with a few others, need to be more tightly controlled. This summer a significant capital investment is being made by the membership to improve the North Course, and inappropriate cart usage could jeopardize that investment. Therefore, the golf committee and the professional staff will be meeting this summer to strengthen the written policies and the established expectations, in order to facilitate change this upcoming season. The entire thrust behind this effort is not to take the enjoyment out of playing or practicing golf. It is to protect the turf and the playability of the golf courses, which can be adversely affected by inappropriate cart traffic. As a reminder, our stated policies regarding golf cart use and appropriate dress are recapped below: Use of Golf Cart: Golf carts must be operated in strict accordance with the posted instructions for the day. Our typical cart traffic rule is the scatter policy. Carts should be kept on the cart paths whenever possible, and should not be driven any nearer than 10 yards from greens and tees. Members with medical flags should use the cart path when it is feasible, and should not be any nearer than 5 yards from any tee or green. Under no circumstance should a golf cart be driven between the green and a greenside bunker. Golf Carts are not permitted on the South range tee at any time. On cart path only days all carts must remain on paths at all times, including those with disability flags. Dress Attire: Proper attire is required on the golf course and practice facility at all times. Clothing that is not permitted on the golf course or practice facility for both men and women would be: Tank Tops, Jeans, Tennis or Short shorts, and Workout Clothing. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important matter.

SECURITY

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. The Clubhouse wil be open for Frenchman’s Creek members. 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
