Protect your Investment Since you own the Golf Course and pay for it, protect your investment by keeping your dogs, bicycles and non-golfing children off of the course, by taking care of dents on the green with a divot repair tool (available in the score card box at the first tee) and by filling the huge rents in the turf on the tees using the repair mix available by almost every tee. The condition of the course affects its playability and YOUR PROPERTY VALUES. Remember that all garage bays but one must be used to park automobiles before any additional automobiles may be parked on your driveway. If you experience a short term parking problem (such as a visiting family member or guest or a contractor storing material within your garage) please call Audrey at Mauzy Management (888) 513-9945. Do not wait until you receive a “Call to a Hearing Letter” to explain a special situation.

August had a net surplus of $14,387 compared to a budgeted surplus of $12,512. Insurance and Facilities Maintenance/Repairs were below budget accounting for the overall favorableness from budget. Year to date we have a deficit of $30,659 compared to budget. Nearly half of that occurred from spending on the new display garden area by the tennis courts. Landscaping added $6k, Extra Golf Maintenance added $4k, Collection Expense added another $3k and miscellaneous added $4k. Money transferred to the reserves is for the replacement of major assets already acquired but eventually needing rehabilitation or total replacement.

Year to date we have added $93,388 and we have spent $15,749 leaving a balance on August 31st, 2012, of $939,061. using more lights and electricity.
