Grove Life Winter 2020

Love at First Sight By Jennifer Jolly W e all wear many hats here at Boca Grove. Having Marketing, Membership and Food &Beverage as my top three, I feel very fortunate as I get to see our membership at it’s very best. For instance, today I had the privilege of giving three tours of our property. Three sets of people interested in relocating toBocaRatonwithBocaGrove on their short list of places to live.

The first couple, currently living in Weston and members at Grand Oaks, will soon be empty nesters when their final child graduates high school in June, heading for college in the fall. The next couple are in their 70s looking to move out of the hustle and bustle that is now Aventura but still want condo living on a golf course similar to their current membership at Turnberry Isle. My third tour is a family, with a sweet young boy who is “on an adventure” today exploring Boca Grove and all that we have to offer … and we have a lot to offer, an extraordinary amount of people, places and activities that encourage falling in love at first sight. Our people are our best assets, hands down! And not just the team that serve you every day with joy in their hearts and an eagerness to please. I have found, on my many tours, that running into each of you shows the beauty that is Boca Grove. Today provides an excellent example of what I often find … from Mrs. Nickerson’s welcoming smile and conversation in the porte cochere on her way to cards to Mr. Zevy highlighting his experiences while getting fit at the Fitness Center to Mrs. Trachtenberg enjoying a bagel poolside while educating all of us on our lush landscaping to watching the glint in our prospective member’s eye while Mr. Gillman hit a home run when he was able to discuss our slope, green complexity and number of tee options that allow any skill level to enjoy the game. I assure you, every group left here feeling the love. Love is not necessarily something we openly discuss at a country club but the reality is that’s what it is all about. Those of us in the service industry chose it because we feel special when we make you feel special … we give love by showing love. Most people who join clubs join for the camaraderie with like minded people who share similar interests … whether it’s the love of a game, a social activity or simply sharing a meal with friends and family. So I encourage each of you to take a walk around the property over the next few weeks while the weather is still a little brisk and remind yourselves why you fell in love with Boca Grove in the first place. What is the first thing you remember on the day you built your new home, bought your home or joined the club as an extension of your home? Home is where the heart is and our hearts are all firmly planted here at Boca Grove. Please share your stories so I may add them to my repertoire when touring potential members. Lately I’ve been sharing one of a non-resident golf member (you know who you are!) that not only bought at Boca Grove but then went on to get engaged and married here plus just threw a bash and half celebrating a milestone birthday and his adoration of his wife. Now THAT’S LOVE! Special thanks to our cover couple, Katie and David Perilstein for allowing us to share in their special occasion by hosting their wedding at Boca Grove. I hear it truly was love at first sight.
