Happenings HAIG POINT JULY 2016 We Proudly Proudly Salute Salute Our Our We 30 Years JULY HAPPENINGS at Haig Point Happenings from the Chief Happy 30th Anniversary! I know the front cover’s photo has been seen by many, and you are likely to see it as you come and go during your day. To me, it signifies what Haig Point is all about—a land rich in history, tradition and progress. The 1873 Lighthouse is the beacon of our community, and the American flag waves as representation of our great country. By the time you read this issue, our celebration of Haig Point’s 30 years is already underway. While the partying may come to a close after the Fourth of July festivities, I wanted to take a moment to honor Haig Point’s past, talk about the present and set the stage for the future. Our history dates back to 1735 when George Haig I purchased 500 acres on Daufuskie Island. In 1986, International Paper set up extensive infrastructure, restored the lighthouse and hired Rees Jones to build the initial golf course. Also at this time, the Strachan Mansion was moved from St. Simons Island, Georgia to Haig Point. Doug Egly Chief Executive Officer As for the present, I hope you’ve had the opportunity to try out the new Beach Club and Adult Pool furniture. The lounge chairs, umbrellas and cabana seating were chosen for their comfort, durability and appearance. Our ferry and water taxi system are of utmost importance to us as your mode of transportation, and we appreciate it as the place to catch up with friends or simply have downtime at the beginning and end of your day. The Board and Transportation Committee have been working on a 10-year plan to prepare our fleet for the next 30 years. The cart path replacement project has begun and looks fantastic. The completion of the paths are the final touches in restoring the Signature Course to its great national status enjoyed over our history. Over the next 30 years, we may not know what the future holds, but there are things we know for certain. The streets will continue to be safe for kids to play; our neighbors will be our close friends; the golf will be extraordinary; the clubs will be places to relax and enjoy great food; and we will live in the ultimate location. Cheers to the next 30 years, Doug Egly page two JULY HAPPENINGS at Haig Point Golf JUNE GOLF SHOP HOURS OF OPERATION: Tuesday – Sunday, 7:30 am – 5:00 pm instruction on all fundamentals of the golf swing, the Rules of Golf, course etiquette and on-course play, and it concludes with a tournament and awards luncheon on the final day.

TOUR Saturday & Sunday, July 9 – 10 Saturday: 1:30 pm Shotgun Start | Sunday: 9:30 am Shotgun Start We will once again host the HJT for our third year. The HJT is considered one of the premier Junior Golf Tours in the country, and they consider Haig Point as one of their best host sites all season. The field is expected to consist of 80 juniors from all over the country. Please note we will have limited morning tee times on Saturday with only afternoon tee times available on Sunday. Please contact the Golf Shop staff if we can be of assistance in planning a tee time at another local club during this weekend. MERCHANDISE SALE OF THE MONTH With hot summer days come sweaty palms when playing golf; having a golf glove becomes a must this time of year. During July, all in-stock Titleist and Foot-Joy gloves will be offered at 30% off their retail price. So stop by to pick out a new glove to help you “keep a grip” on your game during the hot humid days! GOLF TIP OF THE MONTH Practice like you play! Every wonder why we get on the practice tee and hit so many good shots; then we go to the course and become a completely different player? Reason is that most of us go to the practice tee and take a 7-iron for example, stand in the same spot with a perfect flat lie every time and grove the swing. When you are playing on the course, it would be very rare to hit two 7-irons in a row. So the next time you go out to practice, take that same 7-iron and hit no more than two-three shots to a middle flag, then two-three shots to a left flag, and then two-three shots to a right flag. Next, hit your hybrid and then your driver no more than three shots in a row for each club followed by some wedge shots to three different targets. The key is to practice like you play by NOT hitting the same shot over and over. If you can make this habit part of your practice routine, you should see your game more consistently transfer over to the course.

Following the tennis, our traditional luncheon of strawberries and cream will be served. Please be sure to wear your best Wimbledon whites. Entry will be limited to full courts. Entry fee $10.00 per person, member charge. Please contact the Haig Point Tennis Center for more information at 843.341.8114. DON’T GET WET During these warm summer days, the idea of playing tennis in a swimming pool sounds pretty good. Playing in a pool will cool you off, but it will also improve your volley. Too often when players hit their volleys, their racquet drops down to their feet on the way to the ball. If they were in a pool, their racquets would be getting wet. To make sure your racquet takes the shortest route to the ball, keep your racquet above the water. TENNIS SHOP MONTHLY SALE Prince Textreme Tour 95 The Prince Tour 95 feels solid at impact, delivering an extremely precise response with an impressive level of accuracy and comfort. Prince has created a very impressive player’s racquet that does not skimp on speed or feel. Be sure to stop by to try out the latest from Prince. Remember, members receive free stringing on all new racquets! WATER AEROBICS Water Aerobics classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 am – 12:00 pm at the Tennis Center pool. This is a great way to stay in shape on those hot summer days! THE SPORT OF A LIFETIME Tennis has been called the sport of a lifetime for good reason— it’s easy, fun and a great way to spend time with your friends. The Tennis Center offers a great “Back to Basics” program designed just for returning or new tennis players. Contact the Tennis Center for more details.

This month, we feature Sean and Maureen Devine. Sean and I are what we jokingly call ourselves “Irish Gypsies.” Both of us are military brats, and in our adult careers we continued to move about the country and even lived overseas. Our longest stay ever found us residing in the Bay Area, but even then we lived in three different areas over the past 10 years. So when we decided to move closer to our children and grandchildren who live in the D.C. area, finding a place to settle was an overwhelming task at first glance. Recognizing all the wonderful places we have lived, finding someplace so unique and inviting seemed like a daunting challenge. We eventually narrowed it down to a vision that would include a place where we would be happy, as well as having our children view the location as a destination they would long to visit. Since Sean and I both grew up moving around, never close to relatives and barely knowing our grandparents, it was very important that we find an environment, an experience if you will, that would give our grandchildren enchanting memories for years to come. We wanted poignant, soulful memories that would be shared with their own children as to what it was like visiting Grandma and Grandpa in a day gone by. It needed to capture the essence of life that remarks to us all the true value of the human experience lived in joy and love. Sounds like a tall order, but life sometimes moves us in mysterious ways. One day a year ago March, while on a Discovery Package, we found ourselves standing on the shores of Daufuskie Island. We breathlessly took in the pristine beauty of nature at its best, awing us with a show of color, scents and aliveness of otherness. We were humbled. And yet the island kept giving, as we met others who welcomed us with genuine hospitality and graciousness. The community outreach was something we had never experienced in all of our travels. Everyone here is interesting and unique in his or her own right, and we believe the richness of their collective lives has been instrumental in creating this unique community. We have not even touched on the activities that abound, never allowing us to even once announce another boring day! One feels alive and captivated by this small island, a place of refuge and solace that can unexpectedly capture you in a moment of transcendent peace and overwhelming activity. We love being outdoors, and for us life on Daufuskie Island is like living on a nature preserve. Maureen, son Brendan, Sean and daughter Sarah In case you are wondering, our children and grandchildren love it here. Quinn, who is three-and-one-half-years-old, told me the other day she had a dream about Fawn, one of the horses at the Equestrian Center. Even though she won’t be here until July 1, she has already packed her bag! Maggie, four, and her sister Ella, two, are in the process of moving back to the States after a couple of years of living in Japan and are ready to explore in wonder Daufuskie and Haig Point. Dillon, Quinn’s two-year-old brother, is fascinated with machines. Every time we talk to him he says “new cart” because we got a new golf cart during his last visit. They were here at Easter, and he can’t wait to get back and ride on Grandma and Grandpa’s “new cart!” In August of last year, we bought a homesite with the intention to build a home, but then an existing home on Lighthouse Court caught our attention. We moved in about a month ago and truthfully it feels as if we have always been here. That must be what “home” feels like. page seven JULY HAPPENINGS at Haig Point Dear Members, Message from Membership Our Discovery Experiences continue to grow with the “experience” constantly being fine-tuned and enhanced. We now have had or have booked over 40 visits with an additional 15 pending. Great job Staff and Ambassadors! Real estate activity as a direct result of the Discovery Experiences include six offers on resales with one closing, two offers being accepted, one turned down due to financing and two offers coming soon. We also have two hot leads for club-owned property and three hot leads for resales all coming from these prospects. An update on non-Discovery Experience tours (usually a few hours to a half-day) includes over 40 real estate and membership prospects coming from a variety of sources. Great to see the on-going activity and interest in our amazing community! Affiliate Club update: the McMahons from The Union League of Philadelphia were here for a long weekend. They are pictured here heading to the pool before the Equestrian Ride and Wine event. They said they had an incredible time here and can’t wait to spread the word about Haig Point at their club. We are in the planning stages of an Affiliate Club golf event this fall, and we will keep you posted on dates, format and how to register. Please welcome the following new members to Haig Point: Robert & Jennifer Spencer; Dr. Felicia & Johnny Bustle; Robert & Julianna Lauvetz; and Michael Sherman and Cherry Camacho.

In 1993, International Paper installed 25 Wood Duck boxes at Haig Point. By 1996, a survey conducted by the South Carolina Waterfowl Association found 288 ducklings in the boxes, an increase of 40 over the year before and more than double the number of ducklings in the boxes just two years earlier. Those original boxes, most of which you can still see today around Haig Point, provide a nesting place for the ducks similar to the tree cavities and crevices in which they naturally nest. The metal baffles below the boxes provide protection for the eggs and ducklings from predators such as raccoons and snakes. Unlike most ducks, the Wood Duck, AIX SPONSA, has strong claws that it uses to perch in trees. The Wood Duck lays six-16 eggs that incubate for about 30 days. It is the only North American duck that regularly produces two broods in a single year. Chicks hatch with a full coat of down and leave the nest a day after hatching. Wood Duck populations have increased since the 1990s, although we have seen a decrease in the population at Haig Point and probably on Daufuskie Island generally. The decrease in the population at Haig Point is likely due to development around the original sites of the nest boxes and a lack of regular maintenance.

The Food and Beverage staff is very grateful. Your continued support assists us in improving our services to you throughout the year. Please follow your weekly and monthly communications for the announcement of new programs coming on the horizon. This year is already shaping up to be the “Year of the Member” here at Haig Point, with venues being restored for bigger and better purposes. There will be a “Dinner for Pick Up” at the Grill Room/Mansion with choices such as three assorted pizzas, two flavors of “Roasters” whole chicken and fried chicken, as well as a casserole of the day. Also, we are adding “It’s All in Your Basket” grocery shopping program through our existing Club food and beverage inventories. You will be able to purchase those hard-to-find or forgotten grocery items through your Club (cost plus 10% and 6% tax for food/cost plus 15% and 8% tax for beverage), which you may pick up at the Grill Room or ask to have it delivered. Think of it as a “Boat-to-Door” service as we like to say here at Haig Point. To enjoy the grocery program, simply call the Grill Room during operating hours at 843.341.8152, and we will do our best to fulfill your order. (For specialty items, please allow two-three days’ notice.) For those of you choosing to eat in, you are able to order from any (or all three) of our menus for takeout (during operating hours)! Onto a slightly more important subject--reservations. It almost goes without saying that making reservations for dining and special events is the most productive piece of information we can get from you as our Members! It provides us with the knowledge to be ready for your arrival; to serve you; prep and prepare food for you in proper quantities; and have the proper amount of staff available to serve you at the highest level you deserve. It truly gives the staff and myself the BEST opportunity to create memorable moments for you and your guests, for each and every dining experience that you will share with us. Please assist us in providing you with amazing services by letting us know when you will be joining us to dine. Things to look forward to--new Menus in the Grill Room for breakfast and lunch; at the Calibogue Club for dinner; and for seaside dining at the Beach Club. Lots of great things are on the horizon for our Members, and none of it would be possible without you. Your unwavering commitment and support to all that is great here at Haig Point is exceptional, and through you we are going make the rest of 2016 full of amazing services, special events and great social and community times for all to enjoy.
