NOVEMBER PRESIDENT'S LETTER

SEABROOK ISLAND CLUB ACTIVITIES - NOVEMBER 1

Since the last report, the Club has been a very busy place. At the end of September, the Club hosted the 2011 Men's Golf Member-Guest Tournament. The next week, the Club hosted the annual Alan Flemming Charity Tennis Tournament, raising $37,500 for the Charleston Hospice. The annual Women's Golf Member-Guest Tournament was held on the weekend of October 23rd. All of these events were great successes, show-casing the Club's facilities and services and providing a great time for our Members and guests. Thanks to our staff and volunteers for a great job! By the time you read this, we will also have celebrated the opening of the Equestrian Center's refurbished barn and new office and waiting area with a special event and a entertained our Members with a Friday night dinner-theater featuring Seabrook Island Club Members in a specially written play.



Membership:

The Get Golf Ready program, the golf clinics and the individual instruction offered by our highly skilled golf professionals have been very well received over the last two years. As a result, more individuals and couples are starting to enjoy play on the Club's two courses and may be considering upgrading their membership to increase their access to more rounds without paying greens fees. The Board of Governors approved a reduction in the joining fee for the Full Membership category, effective 11/1/2010, reducing it from $36,000 to $30,000, with new Members selecting the Full or Social Membership category at the time of joining enjoying an additional 20% discount. For existing Members, a promotion encouraging membership category upgrades was approved for the period of 11/1/2010 through 2/28/2010. During this period, a Community Member can upgrade to a Social membership category for $4,000, which is half of the current upgrade fee, or to a Full membership category for $12,000, which is a savings of $6,000 from the standard upgrade fee. Social/Sports Members can upgrade to a Full membership category for $4,000, which is also a $6,000 savings from the standard upgrade fee. There is plenty of capacity on our two beautiful courses, so consider taking advantage of one of these offers and enjoy golf with your friends and neighbors even more.



Board of Governor Nominations

The Board received the following report from the 2011 Nominating Committee, chaired by Chuck Fox:

"The Seabrook Island Club's Nominating Committee met on the 21st and 22nd of October to review seven candidates to serve on the 2011 Seabrook Island Club's Board of Governors. The members of the 2011 nominating committee were: John Feldman, John Haberern, Bing Gilardi, Sue Holloman and Ed Puckhaber. Chuck Fox served as the Chair for the committee in a non-voting position. The Nominating Committee was charged with recommending to the Club's membership five club members in good standing to fill five vacancies. The committee was very impressed with the qualifications of all of the candidates and their strong commitment to the Seabrook Island Club.

The Nominating Committee is recommending that the following Club members be approved by the membership to serve three year terms on the Board:

Bob Scott, Bill Greubel, Dan Sutton and Barbara Condon to 3 year terms.

The committee is nominating Jim Newton to serve a one year term on the Board."



We are all grateful for the good work of the nominating committee and to those who are willing to serve on the Board.

Introducing the Casual Golf Group at Seabrook Island - we will begin playing 9 holes on Friday afternoons at 3 pm. The golf shop will arrange pairings and you may also request to play with someone.



To make Friday afternoons even better after golf, Bohicket's will begin a Friday Happy Hour to follow golf from 5 - 6:30 where all cocktails, beer and wine will be ½ price. Does it get any better? Remember - casual, no pressure or expectation - just play golf.
