HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL
Dear Member ,
I hope this newsletter finds each of you happy and healthy . After a couple of years with the crazy pandemic , we had a great winter season seeing all of our wonderful members , many of which hadn ’ t been here for over 18 months . We have a tremendous membership base with so many great people and it was terrific to re-connect with so many of you . It makes working at Sun ‘ N Lake a true blessing to me , my family , and my golf operations team .
Now , with JJ leaving us to become the Head Golf Professional at Country Club of Sebring , we had some large shoes to fill . I am happy to announce that we were fortunate to replace him with an experienced pro in Matt Gesner . He joined our team on May 16th and is busy learning how we do things here . I believe you will find him to be a pleasant and helpful employee . He is going to be an asset to my team and is also a solid player and instructor . Leaving some more shoes to fill , Ann Marie , our former Administrative Assistant , left us in late March . Cindy Reiss who retired and held that position before Anne Marie , was gracious enough to fill that role while we searched for a permanent replacement . After a diligent search and several interviews , we are pleased to have found that person in Dee Petty . She has been with the Club now for several weeks and is proving to be an outstanding employee . Dee is delightful and very good at what does . I believe the additions of Matt and Dee will continue to elevate your experience here at the Club . Make sure to introduce yourself as they are eager to get to know each of you .
Now that we are in the slower summer season , the golf operation will not be employing a starter at the 1st tee . With that said , we ask that everyone check in at the golf shop so that we can account for each player and give you any pertinent information pertaining to the day ’ s play . Please continue to practice the three R ’ s – Replace your divots with sand | Repair your ball marks on the greens | Rake your traps . Kudos to Margy Vogel for suggesting this . It ’ s a great idea and one we will hammer home to all members and guests .
The 2022-2023 Member Tournament Schedule is almost complete and will be released within the next couples of weeks . Be on the lookout for it so you can begin to plan out your golfing schedule . Before you know it , November will be here and all of our wonderful tournaments will be on the horizon .
We have several ladies and men ’ s package golf sets on sale in the shop . The 11-piece Callaway Ladies Reva Set which is normally $ 1299 is now on sale for $ 1099 . The men ’ s Taylormade RBZ Speedlite 13-piece Set normally $ 1549 in now selling for $ 1299 . These are unbeatable prices and perfect for someone wanting a new full set but not wanting to break the bank . We only have a couple of each of these sets so don ’ t hesitate if you are interested .
As always , it ’ s a pleasure to serve you . Should you need anything please reach out to myself or one of the golf shop team members .
Go Bolts !
Sincerely ,

Andy Kesling
