your Club has been one of
the busiest and most
exciting yet! As the Club’s
management team and
entire staff strive to
improve your experiences
each and every time you
join us, we are overjoyed by the recent feedback
from Members and guests. Following both the
Men’s and Ladies Member-Guest tournaments
we heard comments such as:“I have never been
to a friendlier establishment; everyone was so
nice and treated us with such wonderful hospi-
tality” and “Your club has a wonderful “Old
Florida” feel to it that is hard to find nowadays;
we love it!” as well as,“The course, especially the
greens, are in exceptional condition. The best
I’ve played in a long, long while.”
We thank everyone for their participation
and support of the Club throughout this busy
season and, as we continue to ‘spring forward’,
we look forward to seeing you at the upcoming
Taylor Mason Comedy Night and Mother’s
Day celebration as well as the “Awesome 80’s”

Insect Season
J A Y B O R I N G
G O L F C O U R S E
S U P E R I N T E N D E N T
NOW THAT THE WARM
season is approaching so are
the insects that can cause
damage to the golf course.
Most of the damage, like the course
experienced last year, is due to an insect
called a mole cricket. During the next
couple of months, the adult mole cricket
will lay hundreds of eggs underneath the
turf. The hatching of all of these eggs is
factored by temperature and weather
conditions. It is very important to time
the hatching of the eggs with a wall to
wall application of insecticide. These
insects are extremely easier to control
when they are smaller in size, once they
mature, they are very hard to control. In
the next month, we will be applying
insecticide to the golf course to help
prevent any damage to the turf. Thank
you for your cooperation.
