LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER SHILES' STORY Summertime is here and our team is working hard on projects to improve the golf courses and the clubhouse. At the time of this writing, the North Greens have been newly planted for six weeks and our Regional Agronomist made the comment that this is the best greens grow-in he has ever seen. I would like to give a big thank you to our Superintendent, Rich Osgood, his assistants, Jesse Lopez and Mike Morrell and their entire crew, for the hard work and dedication they have put into the North Greens renovation project this summer while also maintaining the South and East courses for daily play. Brad and his team have been helping with on-course projects as well. Their current big undertaking is edging the cart paths on all three courses. They are also doing some tree work as well as eradicating weeds in the many beds around the course. You may have noticed the on-course bathrooms have a different look recently. We replaced the roofs on the East and South courses and cleaned the roof on the North course. All three-bathroom exteriors have been painted and the 4 corner posts on the East and South have been replaced. The floors will be painted inside and out on the North and on the outside on South and East. Before the summer ends, we will replace the door vents, paint the interior and install new lighting along with exhaust fans. We took shipment on our new banquet tables as well as banquet chairs we purchased as a temporary fix until we complete the planned renovation on the entire upstairs of the clubhouse. These two items will make the execution of banquets, weddings and private parties much more efficient. Tim and his team have done a great job with the extra cleaning and sanitation measures as they continue to provide you with a safe place to enjoy lunch after golf, during your card games or for special events and dinners. I want to remind you that we are open for lunch each day, except for Monday. We encourage you to call for take-out or dine-in with us if you are comfortable doing so. On July 4th we had 80 folks join us for the Independence Day BBQ. The dining room was set up with social distancing in mind and we had about 20% take their lunch to-go. On July 15th we tested the waters with our first evening dining opportunity | 4
