Dear Valued Member,
It’s crazy that March is already here! What a busy season it has been so far and it seems like all of you are
enjoying the Club. All of the member tournaments and events in the Island View have been a tremendous
success. In addition, our February demo days were very well attended with record sales. I know many of you
have participated in some or all of these activities and I hope we have met or exceeded your expectations.
If not, please see me to give feedback on how we can improve. We are always striving to ACE your member
experience.

A couple weeks ago, in one of our weekly Club emails, I send out an updated version of our local rules. I
wanted to touch on the two major changes to them that pertain to how the crushed shell areas are played.
First, the Turtle Run penalty areas will no longer include the crushed shell areas. These areas will now
be a part of the general area. Secondly, all crushed shell areas, including all beginnings / ends of the cart
paths, will also be included in the general area and the ball must be played as it lies. Should you have any
questions on these changes please stop by the golf shop to see me.
In closing, I’d like to thank the many member group leaders we have at our Club. These folks spend many
hours throughout the season coordinating their group’s golf. It is not an easy job dealing with the many
phone calls / emails they receive. These group leaders also do a great job working with the golf shop keeping
us updated on their group’s needs. With that said, please ensure that you are doing your part, planning
your golf schedule in advance, and updating the leaders of the groups you play in. This will help our Club
continue to run efficiently.
Regards,
