Golf News

A Note From Ken Kavanaugh
As our club has completed new ratings for both our courses, we are now looking at the allocation of handicap strokes on both holes. This process is done primarily by looking separately at scorecards of lower(1-10) and higher handicap(20 and above) golfers and comparing difficulty of holes. This methodology is recommended by the USGA. In addition, we are asking male golfers to complete a survey to help us confirm and assist in this process. An explanation and the survey can be picked up and returned to the pro shop. If you are out of town, send Ken Kavanaugh an email at kenrkav@aol.com and I will email back to you. Thanks for helping our effort to improve the golfing experience on our two excellent courses.




The rest of your life begins in five days!!

If you have ever thought about picking up a club, either again or for the first time, you can make golf your sport for a lifetime. The Get Golf Ready program is designed to teach individuals in five short lessons everything they'll need to know to step onto a golf course and play with confidence. Lessons will include on-course activities guided by trained professionals who will make sure they have fun each step of the way!!!

Our second session of "Get Golf Ready" runs Monday through Friday, June 22nd -27th. Space is limited and there are only a couple of spots left available for this session, so if you or someone you know is interested, please sign up as soon as possible.

We'll begin each morning at 9:30 and end at 11:00. The cost for the entire week is only $99.00. Sign up today by calling the Pro Shop at 768-2529.

Frequently Asked Questions About The New Facilities

What are the hours of operation for the facilities? ·Seabrook Shoppe: Monday~Thursday 9am~5pm &
Friday~Sunday 9am~7pm ·Pools: Monday~Sunday. Opening at 7:00am for lap swimming and closing at
8:30pm. ·Pelican's Nest: Monday-Sunday 11am-9pm.
Will the Pelican's Nest menu be the same as last year? ·Not really.The menu Chef Randy is developing
will consist of sandwiches, salads and pizzas, but we will also have dinner entrees available after 5:00pm in
addition to daily dinner specials.
Will we still have the weekly Seafood Buffet? ·Yes, except it will be much more casual and moved to
Sunday evenings. The Sunday Fish Fry will begin the first Sunday in June and continue through Labor Day
weekend. The Sunday Fish Fry will be at the Pelican's Nest.
Will a menu be available on Sunday nights during the Fish Fry? What about Members' Nights?
·Only the buffet will be available on Sunday evenings, beginning at 5:00pm. ·Members' Nights will have to
be put on hold during the summer months, but is planned to return when we move into the new Island House.
Will the Pelican's Nest take reservations? ·Because we predict such high demand, we will not be able
to accommodate a reservation system this year. However, we will be taking reservations for The Sunday Fish Fry in order to help our kitchen better prepare.
Will the weather affect the hours of operation of the Seabrook Shoppe or Pelican's Nest?
·No. We're committed to being open rain or shine. Only if severe weather threatens the safety of our
members, guests and employees will we close or alter the hours of operation.
Will there be live entertainment at the Pelican's Nest? ·Yes, each Friday and Sunday night from 5pm~9pm.
Will the international service staff be returning this summer? ·No. Due to the variations that often
accompany a construction project of this magnitude, we did not feel that it would be responsible to commit to
this program, though the results in the past have been very positive. There are a lot of expenses associated
with the H2B's and we did not want to be found in the position of having to fund this staffing program if
there were significant delays with opening the facilities. This is one of the reasons we've chosen to close the
Island House and transfer all food and beverage staff to the Pelican's Nest. Most likely this program will
return in the future.
What will happen to the fitness center? ·The fitness center equipment will transition to the new Lake
House facility this summer. The existing fitness center building will become a support building for the Ocean
Terrace, housing restrooms, changing rooms and storage for banquet furnishings.
