FROM THE CLUB PRESIDENT TODD HALL
as we continue to build on our successes and plan for the years ahead. If you want to contribute more but don’t believe the Board is the right place for you, there are numerous opportunities on committees like Human Resources, Financial Operations, Marketing & Communications, Golf, and Grounds. If you have desire and expertise, we’ll find an opportunity for you. Just email TVGCBOD@TontoGolf.com. Thank you for considering an important opportunity to serve TVGC. Now, for a few less pleasant but needed reminders for all of us: HOLE-IN-ONE PROGRAM We absolutely love to celebrate members who have hit the amazing, pure shot that finds the bottom of the cup from the tee box. In the past, I’m told, we’ve had members asking to opt-out of the $20 charge and not participate in the program; to clarify, this is not an optional program… if you are a member of TVGC you have agreed to the programs, and fees, we have set for members. Soon, you will see a $20 charge per member ($40 for dual memberships) on your statement to replenish the HIO fund due to the amazing, talented ball-strikers we have roaming the fairways at TVGC this season. UNREGISTERED GUESTS We value you bringing your guests to play at TVGC and introducing them to what, I believe, is the premier Golf Club in the East
Valley. When you do so, it is an expectation that you register them on ForeTees and/or notify the Golf Shop that you have guest(s) playing. It does not matter what time of day you play or how open the tee sheet may be…failure to register your guest in an attempt to avoid our guest fees is akin to walking out of the Golf Shop with a pair of shorts and a shirt without paying for it. Please don’t be that person. DIVOTS, BALL MARKS & BUNKERS Travis Blamires and his team have delivered us an amazing canvas to play the game we all love this season…why would we treat it like a rental car? Enough said. Please, please, please, when you see a member of your group forget to fill their divot, fix their pitch mark, and/or properly rake the bunker (and return the rake to the proper location), gently and if appropriate firmly remind them that it's our job to leave the courses better than we found them. Pointing out these opportunities to your playing partners makes you part of the solution…so please don’t be part of the problem. I hope your first month of the season has been as rewarding and fun as mine has been…please be the member everyone says, “we need more like them.”
Todd Hall, TVGC President Todd Hall
