I fell those areas requiring improvement are all able to be handled at the committee level,
however without proper implementation of these ideas by management very little traction has
been gained over the past 2+ years.
"Need to increase higher standards & discipline
Need a seasoned general manager"
"Overall we are very pleased with the club.
We appreciate all of the work that is being done to keep this club one of the most desirable clubs

How can prospect new members when the "Turn" house looks like it was last used for target
practice.
We need a real solution.
A turn house with bathrooms.
The ideal location would be off the 10 tee box.
Focus by the board on golf, golf operation and plan for attaining full membership (whatever that
is)
Better and more attentive service in the Grill.
