Congratulations to Morry and Suki Blutstein for<br />
winning the <strong>2013</strong> Mixed Member Guest. The weather was perfect<br />
for the event and the golf was even better.<br />
The ladies’ tee box on #14 will be moved back during regular play<br />
to help the tee box heal. If we have a major event or championship,<br />
then the tee box will be on the forward tee. We apologize for the<br />
inconvenience.<br />
When playing on the course, please leave it in the condition that<br />
you found it. Rake bunkers, fix ball marks and fill divots. This will<br />
ensure the course will be in the best playing condition.<br />
<strong>Golf</strong> Tip:<br />
When aligning for a golf shot, focus on your shoulders and hips<br />
being in line with the target. This will ensure that you are properly<br />
aligned for your shot.<br />

In general the trees around the golf course are doing well. The<br />
continual rains have been hard on our trees, shrubs and grass. We<br />
have treated the bougainvilleas with fertilizer and fungicides.<br />

the festive<br />
setting of the agency’s resale store in Stuart.<br />
Soon we will be applying root drenching insecticides and<br />
preventative white fly applications to many of the trees in an<br />
attempt to combat the effects of the excessive rain.<br />
The arborist was specifically asked to check the large oak on hole<br />
<strong>March</strong> 20 & 23<br />
10 and the Tabebuia on hole 9. The oak tree on hole 10 is doing<br />
White Hats Championship<br />
well. The tree on hole 9 has a split which has been monitored.<br />
<strong>March</strong> 20 & 27<br />
Unfortunately the split has recently enlarged past the acceptable<br />
Par Tee Niners <strong>Club</strong><br />
threshold. A “bolting” of the split has been performed and the<br />
Championship<br />
tree will continue to be monitored.<br />
