A Round of Events Shawn Costello, Director of Golf I t’s hard to believe the year of 2020 is finally behind us. While it posed many challenges, it was nice to see so many of you have upbeat and positive attitudes. In fact, last year was actually the busiest year on recent record for the golf department. I would like to thank the entire membership for their support and participation in so many of our events, programming, and merchandise efforts throughout the year. Although

this special time of year during the holidays is often the busiest, I would like to take the time to wish all of you a wonderful New Year, filled with good health, prosperity, and of course, long drives and low scores. The start of this season featured terrific turnouts including the WGA Opening Day which was pushed up one week due to election day, as well as the MGA Opening Day on November 7. We would like to thank all of you who have participated in not just the Opening Days, but so many of the events throughout this past Fall. Many of you have had the opportunity to meet Melissa Rath, LPGA Apprentice who joinedus inOctober. She has helped conductmany of our player development programs including our Women’s Only Clinics and our Sips n’ Tips series, which featured Pina Colada’s & Putting in November, followed by Bunkers & Brews in December. Looking to future events, we have a great lineup of continuing player development programs, and we invite you to come out and enjoy them! Next up is Tito’s &Tee Shots on January 6, aWomen’s Only Clinic on January 14 and February 11, and a Short Game &Sangria’s on February 17. These types of events have helped people get involved in golf and create relationships between new members (those new to the game) and current members. I would also like to highlight the junior programming, which has fostered growth and enjoyment for the game from a number of juniors in the community. Currently, we are in the middle of our tournament season with both WGA and MGA season long match play events going well. We also have some marquis events around the corner including: the one-day Men’s Member Guest on January 13, the Couple’s Guest Day on January 24, the Women’s Member Guest on February 25, and the Men’s Invitational March 11-13. We continue to see high turnouts in these events, so if you have not already signed up, please do so. We have had successful demo days this past Fall and look forward to our Multi-Vendor Demo Day scheduled for January 22. We will have Cleveland, Srixon, XXIO, and Callaway here, and, for the first time, we will also have the ever popular ECCO shoe company here to feature their latest footwear.This exciting and popular event cannot be missed so please check out the latest and greatest from these vendors! Please note, club fittings will be by appointment only. Make sure to sign-up through the invitation emails that are sent out. Special demo day pricing will be available that day. I would also like to remind everyone the golf course is scheduled to be re-rated by the Florida State Golf Association (FSGA) this upcoming Spring. Once the course has updated ratings, the GHIN APP and tournament software will be updated, and new scorecards will be ordered to reflect the updated ratings and slopes. We look forward to continuing the positivemomentumwe’ve built from the Fall season and hope that the rest of the season is filled with fabulous events and activities. Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for your support as we continue to create and build exceptional member experiences that make you proud to call yourself amember at Boca Grove.
