I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. The Club had another record turnout for Easter brunch with the bunny festivities being held in the Bistro. We served over 600 people and the weather turned out to be beautiful. Thank you to all the members who chose Bogey Hills to celebrate Easter with their families and friends. Also, a special thank you to the anonymous member who left a nice chocolate basket for the staff to enjoy. It really made their day.

 

May is the return of seasonal staff and the onset of new staff. Managers will be busy training new and returning staff for the upcoming season for the pool, dining, bag area and grounds crew. We appreciate your patience during the training process over this month.

 

The pool cover is now off, and some repairs were made to the bottom and seams. The diving board base was replaced, and the main drain will also be replaced. Trees will be trimmed back significantly this year. We get a lot of fruit droppings from those trees, and they create a lot of mess and stains on the pool deck. Additional umbrellas have been ordered for the pool deck for additional shaded areas. Val and her staff are gearing up for a fun summer at the pool.

 

For the golfing members, I am sure you have seen the construction fencing on #14 fairway and the halfway house gone. Work has begun on these areas and mother nature has not fully cooperated. The halfway house now has a foundation poured along with all the plumbing. The halfway house will have 2 ladies restrooms and 2 mens restrooms. There will be a comfort area with the ice machine and complimentary snacks. I am looking at a new vending machine that Westborough Country Club just installed for beverages. I will be going to see that machine in the next month so see how they like it and how the application works with their members. Stay tuned on services at the halfway house.

 

Progress made so far on the maintenance area:

• VIP restrooms onsite - #14 tee box

• Excavation work is ongoing

• Demo of existing utilities is ongoing

• Concrete flatwork at the halfway house is completed

• Site utility work is ongoing at the maintenance building

 

Upcoming:

• Door frames for halfway house

• Electrical and plumbing rough in work for halfway house

• Lumber package to arrive for halfway house

The projected timeframe for the halfway house completion is the end of June (hoping for both ladies and men’s member guest events) all weather driven on the timeline. Main maintenance building is scheduled for completion mid-October weather depending.

 

Bogey Hills New APP

 

I am super excited to announce that we will be coming out with a new Bogey Hills app. The new app is sleeker in appearance and has more added functions such as:

•Daily course conditions

•Links directly to golf genius links

•Dining Reservations and Tee Times are main screen

•Calendar of Events to easily click through for dates

•Much more….

 

Please be on the lookout for the update which should be seamless on your end. If you have any issues please contact Heather Schadt for help.

 

I also want to note that we have received many calls about members not getting their statements via the mail. We all know how poor the mail service is these days. Email is one way to get your statement in a timely manner. Please call the office and let them know if you would like to start receiving your statements via email.

 

I look forward to a great summer season at Bogey Hills.
