Venetian Golf Club Newsletter December 2018 | Page 2

On behalf of the staff at Venetian Golf Club, we would
like to wish everyone a happy holiday and thank the
Membership for their continued support throughout
the past year. It has been a year filled with change and
the new year brings with it uncertainty. Through it all,
you have been wonderful in how your treat and look
out for the hard-working staff that works at Venetian
Golf Club.
As the magical month of December is upon us, let your
hearts be filled with joy and happiness. An example
of our Members’ giving nature is the Club’s Angel Tree
Program. The Angel Tree, sponsored by the Sarasota
Boys & Girls Club, is a holiday assistance program in
which a Venetian Member may fulfill the wishes of a
child in need by purchasing the holiday gift that the
child has asked for. The many angels that adorned
our Club’s holiday tree with wishes of children in
need, were claimed within 10 days by our generous
Members. A look at the bounty of gifts already
dropped off in Beverly’s office will make your hearts
warm. Please remember to return your unwrapped
gifts and tags to Venetian Golf Club by Monday,
December 10.
On another note about giving, a warm and sincere
thank you to the Membership for your support of the
Annual Employee Holiday Fund. Monies from the
holiday fund are shared with all the hourly staff at the
Club. I have witnessed reactions from our staff upon
receiving this gift from the Membership. All of the
staff at Venetian Golf Club, thanks you for your warmth
and generosity.
Some changes in golf will begin in December. The
Monday shotgun is being replaced by tee times
beginning at 10:03am on Monday, December 10. The
purpose is to provide the golf maintenance team a
better opportunity to keep the golf course is great
shape. Also, the Adopt-A-Hole program, aimed at
assisting in maintaining our golf course, still has
openings for this program. This voluntary program
allows our Members to
pick a convenient hole
to do a “little extra”
in helping to maintain
good playing conditions.
Please call the golf shop
at [phone] for
information on available
openings.

Thank you to those
who participated in the Town Hall meeting held on
November 28. It was good to see so many of you in
attendance. Your participation was much appreciated
and the dialogue between you, Tony Burdett with
Lennar, and Dennis Colletti with ICON Management
was informative.
I would like to remind all Members that your 2019 dues
have been billed to your Member accounts and are
due to be paid in full by December 31, 2018. You may
make dues payments online, by mail, or by contacting
Beverly Wilson at [phone].
December brings an abundance of activities and
events for all to enjoy! The Club has its traditional
holiday tournaments, Candy Cane Classic and the
Ladies Holiday Scramble, while the clubhouse is filled
with festive seasonal events. Please view more details
of upcoming events in this newsletter!
As I near my first year at Venetian Golf Club, I want
to let you know how impressed I am with the care
and concern you display to the staff at the Club. You
truly personify my idea of what makes a Golf Club
successful—its people!
As a last reminder, my door is always open. Please feel
free to stop by for a visit, offer a suggestion or share
your Club experience with me. Your feedback is always
welcomed and appreciated.
Please Welcome
