General Manager’s Message
We welcome you back home to Tiburón Golf Club and we have an
exciting season planned for you! It’s exciting to see Members back
and enjoying the amenities at Tiburón Golf Club.
The CME GROUP Tour Championship is the finish line for the LPGA
season points race, the Race to the CME Globe. The tournament
will once again be played at Tiburón Golf Club November 1922. Two weeks later, the Club will host the PGA TOUR’s Franklin
Templeton Shootout on December 7-12. Both events will be held
on the Gold Course, which is sure to challenge the best lady and
gentlemen golfers in the world.

Employee Holiday
Fund
In your October statement, we
included a voluntary employee
holiday fund contribution form in
order to thank our front-line team
for their hard work throughout
Rick Rainville, General Manager
the year. Please follow the
directions provided on the form
to increase, decrease or remove
this contribution at your discretion. We thank you in advance for
your generosity and support of our employees.
Angel Tree Program
Please help us to make this holiday season special for local
children! Tiburón Golf Club has again teamed up with the Boys &
Girls Club of Collier County to support the Angel Tree Program.
Starting the week of November 23, the Club will have a Christmas
tree decorated with ornaments symbolizing gifts needed for local
children.
All you have to do is:
1. Select an ornament tag from the Angel Tree
2. Note your tag number on the sign-up sheet
3. Purchase an appropriate gift using the guidelines on the
ornament tag
4. Return the unwrapped gift to the Club by Friday, December 4
Your local Boys & Girls Club will handle the rest by making sure the
gifts are wrapped and delivered to each child!
We work very hard to make your time spent at Tiburón enjoyable.
If we succeed, please tell your friends. If we don’t, please tell me.
We look forward to seeing each of you at the Club soon and often!
As of October 31, 2015, we have a total of 248 Golf Members and 189 Signature Members for
a total of 437 total Members. Since January 1, 2015, approximately 20% are new Members
to Tiburόn Golf Club. Since WCI Communities had its last condo sales closing within the
Tiburόn community, the focus of our marketing within Tiburόn is now with resale residences
and upgrades to Medallion Membership. In addition, I am targeting new and existing nongolf club communities with opportunities to visit Tiburόn Golf Club and experience the
lifestyle of our amenities.
Our Facebook page continues to grow as we now have 15,257 Likes, compared to 14,862 last
month at this time. We have 1,288 Twitter followers. We will be launching Instagram and a
blog in the next 60 days.
During our two golf events coming up, the LPGA CME Group Tour Championship and the
Franklin Templeton Shootout, many of our top prospects will be invited and entertained at
Tiburόn Golf Club.
