For the month of August, the course did 2,606 rounds of golf. Total sales for the club in August were $115,000. It was Budgeted for $58,000. Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather we are approximately $130,000 below year-to-date budget. September so far has been very good, so I am sure we will make up for the deficit.
Despite the weather the course is doing a great job. Cash balance as of September 13th, was $153,239.82 in addition to a Money Market Investment of $250,000. As of this writing all accounts payable were paid in full.
The Bridge Project has been completed. I’d like to thank Adam Dalton, CDD Board Member, for his diligent and extensive work on getting this done within budget and a bit longer than expected but the bridges are excellent. Thank you, Adam.
The Pro Shop staff is working with Golf Now to improve access to golf tee times for the residents of the community. To ensure that residents are properly input into the system, we will be asking residents who play golf to complete a form, have it verified by the HOA at the community center. The reason for this process is we have found that many golfers were listed as residents, getting the resident rates and were not residents. This negatively impacted the revenue for the course. This will be for both residents and renters. We will be working with the community center staff to work through this process. This process has started so please make sure you complete the form and get your updated file at the Pro Shop.
For the golfers there will be an ice machine at the bathrooms at hole 14 similar to the one on hole 66. This will only be opened when the golf course is open. Also, an ice machine will be installed at the 14th hole with the same restrictions. So, we will now have 3 ice machines for the golfers to use.
The Board approved the purchase of a new Ball Machine with an improved and updated Point of Sale (POS) process. This POS will integrate with the Golf Now system to improve service, budgeting and data, and give us the ability to staff accordingly.
We encourage all golfers to be environmentally proactive, and to bring their own cups. In the rare occasion that someone has not brought their cup, there will be biodegradable cups available at the concession stand. We still encourage everyone to bring their own cups. Let’s do what we can to improve the environment and for Stoneybrook Golf Course and the community. We have hired Kyle Schute as the new Stoneybrook Golf Pro, Tyler Renaud as the Assistant Pro.
Stop into the Pro Shop and see how this has been updated and repainted. A new electronic board has been installed to update allthe pertenint information for the course with updted pictures. Stepehn tone installed the letters over the board and will bedoing additional work with the staff within the Pro Shop. Also stop by the concession stand. This has also been updaated and a new counter istalled by Lloyd Sebby. The concession staff has done an outstanding job under the guidance of Tyler Leon. Sloane Brady is working for the earl morning golfers to get them started for the day! It is a great pleasure to have all these employees, especially the ones who live here because they truly want this course and commnity the best it can be. Thanks to all of you who have participtied in this renovation and upgrade.
I’d like to also thank John Vuknic Golf Course Superintendent and Todd Hoffmann, Assistant Superintendent and their staff for the fabulous job they have done over the summer to have the course in amazing condition. The bridges look great and for those of you who golf, hopefully you will be pleasantly pleased with the change in the sand bunker on 13. It is now 3 bunkers with grass bridges in between. Yes this will help us all with the speed of golf. And maybe just maybe hit the grass and not the sand.
