From the General Manager
Barry McDonald
Is Sawgrass Country Club at a Turning Point?
Several years ago I recall my Horizon’s article suggesting that Sawgrass Country Club
was at a turning point. As I reflect back to the beginning of 2010 we were certainly facing
several challenges at our club and it gives me relief and pride to know that we weathered
those challenges quite well.
In 2010 the club was effectively adjusting to a significant drop in membership due
largely to the economic downturn that was happening at that time. Many of our facilities
and much of our equipment was in need of attention. We were paying off our $4 million
debt, our resources had been shrinking for several years, and we were reducing our services
where possible to respond to the difficult times.
This is when the club introduced the operating capital dues that today provide our
club adequate resources to address the operating capital needs of your $25 million asset.
As we enter 2016, the club has seen significant improvements to the way we respond to
the needs of our facilities, programing, and services and I believe you can all be proud of
the planning and leadership of our Board of Governors and our committee volunteers that
have provided the vision and dedication to bring us to where we are today.
We fully subscribed to a Strategic Planning effort that outlined our members’ vision
for the next five years. Through this, the management team got their marching orders and
our leadership established their priorities for our club of the future. We completely rebuilt
our fitness center, renovated all 27 holes of our golf courses, and are now completing a
renovation of our Beach Club.
Our progress doesn’t stop there. This planning effort also identified the members’
desire for a casual and high value dining venue which resulted in an investment in the
Sandbar Grill at the Beach Club Pavilion, we decided that the club should be appealing
to younger families too and the Tarpon Room became our dedicated facility for children’s
programming. We did all this without adding long-term debt and retiring the previous
Beach Club loan from 2004 two years early in 2012.
In addition, we have established and have operated at our membership cap of 1450
membership families for most of 2015 and plan to be at or very near our cap for 2016.
This doesn’t mean our recruitment effort is over because we will always need to replace
about five percent of our members that leave our club each year. It is a sign that we have
realized our intent to be relevant in the lives of our membership and to the members of
the future.
Last month our Board of Governors participated in a Strategic Retreat to help us
revisit our strategic vision and evaluate where we are headed. Although we have accomplished a lot in the past five years, we understand well that our work is not finished.
The major themes included our remaining facilities and evaluating the results of our
completed projects, renew and improve our commitment to facility maintenance, review
and make adjustment to non-member activity or access to Sawgrass Country Club, and
to make an effort to strengthen the relationship between the club and the Sawgrass
Master Association.
Ken Veney is perhaps the newest addition to our team but marks an important commitment to our club’s desire to continuously improve. Ken has taken over as our Director
of Tennis and will help us establish the direction of the tennis program at Sawgrass.
Magnus Berglund will remain our Head Tennis Professional and Tim Majure will continue his roles as a Department Head in overseeing operations in fitness, recreation, and
aquatics. These are all important leadership positions for our club and we are all committed to the successful new program.
We have been reviewing our club’s communication channels and practices for hopes
of improving our performance in this important area. We have decided that although
our communication is not bad, there are areas that we need to improve. We will further
embrace technology to help us support a more effective approach to keeping our members
HOURS OF OPERATION
informed. We are now fully engaged in social media, we have introduced a new
website last month and this month we will be introducing an improved Sawgrass
App to our membership. The new app will provide a quick reference for club
activity but will also allow our members quick access to dining reservations, tee
times, tennis court reservations, and reserve some fitness activities.
You probably are aware that communication is paramount for ensuring
successful club events. Participation is a very important gauge by which we
measure successful programming, and our club’s overall success for that matter.
This makes communicating these events one of our most important responsibilities and consistent, timely, and clear delivery is what helps make strong
participation possible. Your newsletter is just one resource that outlines club
events to help you plan your club experience. Here are a few suggestions that
will keep you more informed:
1. This newsletter is published for the purpose of keeping members informed
about club activities and events, hours of operation, happy hour schedule,
entertainment schedule, newsworthy items, contact information for departments, new member announcements and more…..The newsletter is e-mailed
to each member and is available for pick-up at various locations around the
club. It is also posted on our club’s website.
2. Read informational postings around the club that are intended to remind you
of important events.
3. Visit our club’s website online at www.sawgrasscountryclub.com There is no
single resource that offers better information regarding our club including,
governance, activities, personnel, and other pertinent information. The website is updated daily and has the latest information. You now have the ability
to make a suggestion, check on your account statement, make reservations,
schedule a tee-time, view course layouts, weather and course conditions.
4. If you are not currently receiving our weekly e-mails, there is no stronger recommendation I can make to you than to provide your e-mail address to Club
administration. It will enhance your knowledge and understanding about
what is going on at our club.
5. Each submission to our comments and concern section is e-mailed to the
department managers, our membership department and to me personally.
These submissions are reviewed weekly by all department staff and we confirm
that a response has been provided. These are additional ways that your club
is gathering information about our members’ perceptions for consideration
while we implement programs and events for our members’ enjoyment.
Communication is a two way street. Your club puts a great deal of resources
into getting the word out to you as members. Please use these forms of communication to ensure you are informed. It will make your club experience better.
Turning points are easy to see looking in the past, but when looking in the
future, they may not be so evident. Your club intends to promote and perform, act
and react, and to deliver to you the best possible member experiences. Some will
work better than others. Some may not work at all. Your Board of Governors,
various committees, and your management team will continue to expand our
offering and try new programs. It is refreshing to really feel that the membership
is behind us and supportive. Sawgrass Country Club is a wonderful place to be.

Dog Tip
It is such a pleasure
to say that we have
all three nines “open”
for play! The South
Nine has had very few
changes with the exception of the bunkers.
The new bunkers will certainly present
some challenges to even the best golfers!
We opened with a short game skills competition on the Par-3 7th on Wednesday,
October 28th. Everyone enjoyed the festivities and we appreciate your support of
the event.
The “Ed Seay” Men’s Member Guest
kicks off the month of November with the
38th playing of our Annual Gala Event!
The field is full and we are looking forward
to another fantastic event!
We need your help! Each year through
member tournaments and other golf activities including major pools, pick-a-pros,
and hole in one’s, thousands of dollars in
Golf Shop credit are issued to the membership. These events create a lot of excitement and activity throughout the club, and
in return provide the members the ability
to use these credits toward purchasing
new merchandise and equipment from the
Golf Shop. After a few years of accumulation, the total amount of credits has grown
to an amount large enough, that we must
ask those who have Golf Shop credit to
use it in the coming months.
With the holidays fast approaching,
between now and the end of the year is a
great time to reduce your personal account.
Most clubs require members to use their
credits in the calendar year or forfeit them.
We would prefer not to create a deadline
to use it by, but we need everyone to use it
hopefully by the end of the year. A recommendation has been made for all credits
issued prior to 2015, have to be used by
December 31st. The Golf Shop is fully
stocked and we look forward to your visits
in the coming weeks. We really appreciate
your cooperation and understanding.
2015 has been another year of great
things happening all over Sawgrass
Country Club. All of us in the Golf Shop
who serve you and your guests and family
want to wish you a warm and fun filled
holiday, and best wishes for a healthy and
prosperous New Year.
