Monday morning April 16th, 2012, marks the start of the much anticipated Greens and Tees Renovation. Many hours of planning and detail have been carried out during the last three years to ensure quality success with the project. As you have seen, the proposed renovation areas have been killed thoroughly (besides the putting surfaces) and the final few pieces of contractor machinery will be on property this week. The irrigation materials required have arrived and all facets of the preparation are complete. There is certainly a buzz in the air around the Golf Course Maintenance Department and our team is well prepared and eager to begin. Our primary goal is to exceed all member expectations and present the membership with a magical product upon re-opening. During the renovation, you will be informed and educated constantly as to the progress of the work. E-blasts with accompanying pictures will be the primary means of communication. Please also feel free to me if you have any questions or concerns in regards to any area of the golf course throughout the summer. This historic time at Pelican Marsh is about to begin. In the Golf Course Maintenance Industry, it does not get any better than this!!! 3 Queens & King

From the Club Manager Club Manager, David May There was a recent survey given to Private Club members across the country.

The number one answer, by an almost 3 to 1 margin, was a sense David May of belonging, of feeling welcome when you walk through the door.

It begins with assembling a staff who understand that they are in the service business, what it means to deliver exceptional customer service, and who enjoy doing it.

You don t have to have it to be a world class architect. But in the hospitality industry, especially in the private club industry, it is.

And that is what I believe the staff assembled here at Pelican Marsh has, and it is what sets them apart from other clubs. It s what makes them the best. I believe it begins with the hiring process.

It is also very important that when you do find those people, you make sure to keep them.

That more than anything is a testament to the team here at Pelican Marsh; who enjoy working together; and to the respect that they receive from the membership.

A variety of food stations set under the stars with terrific entertainment wound up what has been a fantastic winter for all of us!

6 From the Club Manager Club Manager, David May There was a recent survey given to Private Club members across the country. One of the questions asked What is it that you regard as the biggest reason that you dine at your club as opposed to a local restaurant? with five possible responses. The number one answer, by an almost 3 to 1 margin, was a sense David May of belonging, of feeling welcome when you walk through the door. This is something that we always keep in mind and discuss as we go about everyday operations at the Club. And we have to ask ourselves, how can we best make you feel like you are in your second home? It begins with assembling a staff who understand that they are in the service business, what it means to deliver exceptional customer service, and who enjoy doing it. I have often referred to it as a server s heart. It is something that sets this group of individuals apart from some in other industries. This server s heart is not a necessity in other careers. You don t have to have it to be a world class architect. But in the hospitality industry, especially in the private club industry, it is. If you want to be the best, you must want to make people feel at home and that you are providing an atmosphere of comfort and sense of belonging. And that is what I believe the staff assembled here at Pelican Marsh has, and it is what sets them apart from other clubs. It s what makes them the best. I believe it begins with the hiring process. You hire the right people, people with personality; people who can deliver the members with the experience that they have come to expect. It is also very important that when you do find those people, you make sure to keep them. We are very fortunate at this Club to have assembled a staff that looks forward to returning year after year, especially in a SWFL environment that can be somewhat transient. That more than anything is a testament to the team here at Pelican Marsh; who enjoy working together; and to the respect that they receive from the membership. From the Chef Executive Chef, Marv Messenger I hope that you had the chance to join us at our End of Season Dining Under the Stars event. A variety of food stations set under the stars with terrific entertainment wound up what has been a fantastic winter for all of us! Attendees sampled sushi, Marv Messenger enjoyed giant cocktail Shrimp, Asian style barbecued ribs, rack of Lamb, and roast tenderloin of Beef just to name a few of the delights that were served. Members can finish out the month of April by coming to our Happy Hour events each Wednesday, our Prix Fixe dinners on Fridays, our Sunday Breakfast Buffet each Sunday, and of course our Café Dining Sunday evenings. As we get into the month of May, remember to bring your mother to the Club for our annual Mother s Day buffet on May 13 th. Our hours of operation will shift a bit after that point. We will continue to offer, on a rotating basis, our Wednesday night Happy Hour and our Friday evening Prix Fixe dinner for your enjoyment. Watch for a few menu changes as the summer progresses, as we may change our offerings throughout the summer to keep it fun and interesting!
