A Round of Events Shawn Costello, Director of Golf W ith the passing of yet another year, I hope you had the opportunity to spend the Holidays with family and friends, reminiscing of joyful times. On behalf of the entire Golf Department, we wish you a very healthy and prosperous 2020. This past Fall season we had some record turnouts and saw terrific event participation. We thank all of you who

have attended our clinics as well as our Sips n’ Tips series which began in November with Pina Coladas & Putting. These social and engaging activities have helped create a great sense of camaraderie while introducing and forming new friendships amongst those who joined in. Our upcoming schedule includes Tee Shots & Tito’s in January, Short Game & Sangrias in February, and Course & Cocktails in March. As we look forward in our tournament schedule, we have some wonderful events around the corner including the Men’s One Day Member Guest, the Men’s Ryder Cup, the Super-Bowl Mixer on Super-Bowl Sunday, the Plantation Partners, the WGA Valentine Scramble, and the Women’s Member Guest on February 27. Additionally, this year’s Men’s Invitational which is scheduled for March 12 – 14 still has spots open, and after last year’s success of the event, this is one you will not want to miss! Our Multi-Vendor Demo Day is scheduled for Friday, February 21 and will feature different vendors showcasing their latest and greatest offerings. If you are interested in new equipment that can help improve your game, or if you want to spend some time on the range learning from your favorite Professional Staff as it relates to the equipment offerings, please do come by and spend some time with us. With the arrival of 2020, comes the World Handicap System, which officially began on January 6, 2020. Thank you to all who attended the World Handicap and Rules of Golf seminar we conducted in December. We were glad to see somany faces at this and trust the new handicap systemwill be a fairly seamless one for all of you. I would like to take a moment to share a truly incredible experience with you. Over the last few years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to serve in varying Committee and Chair roles within the South Florida PGA, and am currently serving as the Awards Chairman for the Southeast Chapter of the South Florida PGA. With this, I have been able to get involved and give back to somany great causes and efforts, but none more so thanhelping the children at the PalmBeachChildren’s hospital over the last twoHoliday Seasons.

Secretary and Junior Golf Leader have spearheaded a fund-raiser and toy drive throughout Martin and Palm Beach County to benefit the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital and their patients. These efforts to put a smile on a less fortunate child’s face during the Holidays is an incredible and touching experience; and one that reminds me toalways giveback, bekind, generous, and grateful for what one has. With that, I would like to thank all of you for the tremendous support you have shown me and our Staff as we continue to push the operation forward to create an environment built on hospitality with positive, engaging experiences that make you proud to call Boca Grove home.
