Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. Service your air conditioner… Central air conditioners consume a lot of electricity and without regular service, your air conditioner’s efficiency can fall by as much as half. Call for servicing now before the temperature spikes. Our Home Service is offering a special price for the month of May, for more information please call 775-6453 or read more on page 19. Mother’s Day May 11 This year, do something a little different by showing your mom how much she means to you with a very special day. This Mother’s Day, treat her to a celebration. If your mom is always running around, going to that meeting and making this appointment, get her to slow down with a massage and facial at our Spa. Or treat her with a gourmet brunch at our five-star restaurants. May 26, Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates

Fresh flower arranging… Whether you take a course for fun or gather ideas from magazines, now is the perfect time to brush up on the art of flower arranging. Think of creative containers, mix unexpected elements and play with texture and color to give your centerpieces unconventional flair.

TRAFFIC CRASH ETIQUETTE by Mark Hall, Director of Security

I would like to address a circumstance, although it happens infrequently, is nevertheless very important. If you find yourself in a situation where you have been involved in a traffic crash, regardless of how minor, please stay at the scene of the crash until security has arrived. This also includes incidents where there has been physical contact between two golf carts and golf carts and bicycles or pedestrians. It is common courtesy to stay at the scene until security arrives and is able to properly document the situation. It does not matter whether the other vehicle or cart is occupied or not, Security should be called and the incident documented. If you abide by this simple rule you can avoid the perception of a being a “Hit & Run” driver or trying to flee from the incident. Although the incident can be embarrassing, it’s not nearly as embarrassing as being perceived as someone who does not take responsibility for their actions. Many times, when the incident is properly reported to security, and there are no injuries, a law enforcement report can be avoided and the parties involved can resolve it amongst themselves. When one person leaves the scene of the crash without calling or waiting for security to arrive, local law enforcement may be required to respond. It is my responsibility to create and maintain the safest environment possible for all of you to live and play. I take this responsibility very seriously and ask for your assistance in eliminating the situations described above.

? DID YOU KNOW ? Why you should not play on wet tennis courts? Beware of spring showers. A clay court is safe after 15 minutes of a light drizzle except for its lines which can get quite slick. Experienced players even have a tough time trying not to slip while crossing over them while at play. If a group decides to play on a court prematurely to it being completely dry, the players can in return ruin the court by digging up the surface with their shoes and this will leave grooves and “pockets” on the court. For your overall safety during these spring shower months, please be aware and listen to the tennis staff as to when the courts will be available for you and your partners to play on.

You are looking at the golf course maintenance department’s most recent purchase. This is a Ditch Witch RT-40 and the maintenance staff will use it to make drainage enhancements and to make minor adjustments to the irrigation system as part of the south course improvement project. The south course will close Thursday, May 1st. In the last few days it is open, the last Roundup treatment will be applied, the maintenance staff will get a jump on projects and the contractor will start mobilizing some of their equipment.
