Accomplishments: 

South Golf Course improvement project including re- grassing was completed on time and on budget and has been well received by golfers.  The short game golf practice area was completely rede- signed in order to provide golfers with a more realistic representation of the golf course conditions and the playing environment in which to sharpen their skills.  Substantially improved the appearance and functionali- ty of the covered breezeway between the Main Club- house and the Pro Shop by replacing the canvas awning with a permanent roof and architecturally designed ceiling. The breezeway runs from the POA office around past the ladies card room.  Enhanced the appearance of the East entrance to the 19 th Hole dining venue by adding a fixed roof Porte Cochere. The new structure provides shelter from the elements and features a complimentary architectural style with the fitness center.  Provided sheltered walkways to the Clubhouse by re- positioning paths on both sides of Pro Shop building to take advantage of the roof overhang.  Eliminated a likely source of water damage to the Clubhouse by replacing the tiles and waterproofing the upstairs walkway from living room entrance around to Sports Bar.  Dramatically improved the acoustics in the East and South patios of the Grille through the installation of acoustic noise suppression systems.  Continued upgrading of our well used conference rooms including the décor, state-of-the-art computer boards, upgraded telephone systems, state-of-the-art teleconferencing systems.
