Club News from Paul
H
oliday greetings from your Sara Bay family. As 2014 comes to a close, it has been
a successful year for the Club. Over the last twelve months we’ve welcomed a
number of new members and also enjoyed the benefits of a very successful summer
program. Sara Bay was selected to host the 100th Women’s Southern Amateur
Championship in 2015, and we will once again host the LPGA Symetra Tour. Our
members overwhelmingly approved the recently completed cart path resurfacing
project, keeping with our mission and vision to be recognized as one of the best Donald Ross designed golf courses
in North America. Thank you for your support and loyalty.
Please join us for Bingo on Wednesday, December 3rd and plan to bring your kids or grandkids to see Santa at our
Annual Family Holiday Party and Cart Parade on Sunday, December 21st. Finally, celebrate with us with a casual
dinner in the Donald Ross Grill Room, or an elegant dinner in the Palm Room on New Year’s Eve, Wednesday,
December 31st. As always, the Club is available for your Holiday parties, we also have an extensive catering menu
for your in home party.
I am honored to be your General Manager and it is very important to me that your experience at the Club is
enjoyable. If there is anything that I can do to make your experience better, or if you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to call me, email me, or stop by on your next visit to the Club.
May the Holidays bring you much joy and the New Year every blessing.
See you at the Club,
Paul

Just a reminder that there is still time to introduce a prospective member to Sara Bay

Golf Pro Shop
I
n the past years we
had designated a couple of hours in the evening
on a specific day to do your
holiday shopping in the
golf shop but because our
schedules are so hectic this time of the year, we are trying a new approach and make this special shopping day
an all day affair on Friday December 12. The golf shop is
open from 7:30 a.m. till 5:30 p.m. and we will be ready
to help you with your shopping needs. Our golf shop
is well stocked, Clubs, Golf Bags, Golf Balls, Clothing,
Shoes and many accessories.
On that same day we will also be hosting the Bridgestone Golf Ball demo day from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. This
will be a great time for you to try out their new golf balls.
Mark your calendar for this special event.
As of this Quips issue there are only 15 days left till
the celebration of Chanukah and 24 days till Christmas.
If you would like to do some secret shopping simply
email me at [email protected] and I will be happy
to assist you. I’ll gladly wrap the gifts purchased in the
golf shop.
Bring your friends along for early Holiday Cheer.
Wishing you all a festive Holiday Season!

From Tee to Green
W
ith the cart path project behind us, now we start the next phase of establishing
the Bermuda sod. Maintenance will fertilize and water frequently until the
sod has rooted in well. Probably the most important part will be to keep cart traffic
completely off all the sod, as much as possible.
Sara Bay’s staff will place flags around the sod as a reminder to stay off these areas.
I know for myself how conditioned I am to drive on the old path areas. This is also true
with golfers. It is very important to scatter your carts where the path ends, so not to wear out the sod.
Now to what really matters, I hope everyone has a happy healthy holiday season and the best to you and yours.
Thanks for your support,
Bob Gwodz, Golf Course Superintendent

FALL MEMBER-GUEST
ith great support
from the Board of
Directors, we launched our
1st Annual Fall MemberGuest Tournament. The intent of the event was to have
all types of memberships interact in a format that was
fun for all. Forty-eight teams, including sixteen Summer
Members and five Associate Members competed in the
two-day Better Ball of Partners “Ringer Tournament”.
The Ringer event allows each team on Day 2 to improve
their Better Ball score on each hole to produce an optimal
eighteen-hole score. The Overall Champion could come
out of any of the four flights.
Mark Papa and his brother Ron opened the
tournament with a score of 67 (-5) and improved
nine strokes during the final round to capture the Fall
Member-Guest Overall Championship by one stroke
over several other teams with a better ball score of 58
(-14). Bill Goshorn and guest Mark Sheffield finished
runner-up in Flight 1 with the score of 59 (-13). John
DiTrani and partner Will Livermore improved ten shots
during the final round to claim Flight 2 with a final score
of 59 (-13). The team of Ken Rice and Paul Clark finished
one shot back 60 (-12) to grab second place in Flight
2. The teams of Brian Fitzpatrick and partner Charles
Polsen and Joel Persky and partner Alan Clark finished
tied in Flight 3 with identical scores of 60 (-12). The
Fitzpatrick-Polsen team made up seven strokes on the
final day and prevailed in the tiebreaker to win the flight.
Flight 4 consisted of eight women teams competing for
the Overall Championship. Pam Macdonald and guest
Ann McLeod 60 (-12) claimed Flight 4 with a three
stroke victory over the team of Colleen Rice and partner
Vickie Clark 63 (-9). The Macdonald-McLeod team
shot an opening round 65 (-7) and gained five strokes
on the final day to finish two shots back of the Overall
Champions.
Thank you for your support in the inaugural event
and congratulations to all of our winners!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Holiday
and a Happy New Year,

W
e had our first meeting and luncheon after the Scramble on October 30th. Not only was it well attended by
our group of ladies, but Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and various other characters showed up as well. Our next
group luncheon will be on December 18 following the Christmas Step-Aside Scramble. This is always a beautiful
luncheon in the Palm Room so try not to miss it. We will resume WGA events on January 8th.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all!
