HORIZONS MARCH | APRIL 2021 - Sawgrass Country Club
FROM THE
 GENERAL MANAGER
                                       It’s hard to believe how much has changed in a year’s time–not
                                       just from the perspective of the pandemic, but also with our
                                       construction of the Members’ Clubhouse, etc. At this time a year
                                       ago, we had just started structural steel on the main level and now
                                       we find ourselves only a few weeks away from completion of the
                                       largest capital improvement project in the history of Sawgrass
                                       Country Club. It’s amazing to think how far we’ve come over the
                                       last year!

                                      There’s no doubt that COVID certainly has created change in the
                                      world around us. Change is something that can often create fear
                                      in people. It can feel uncomfortable and, at times, exhausting.
                                      However, change can also teach us new ways of doing business,
which reveals opportunities to learn and grow. That is what you’ve witnessed over the last year from
many of our staff as they constantly juggle to provide exceptional offerings and new ways to deliver an
effective Sawgrass Experience, no matter what challenges they are faced with.

As we now are settling into our new clubhouse environment, we’re working to ensure the staffing and
service of these new areas meets your expectations. Nowhere in our club has the impact been greater
than that of our Human Resources team of Karen Livengood and Sage Bologna. Nonetheless, they
have also risen to the occasion as change has created a way for them to reach more potential
candidates. With the utilization of multiple online platforms such as Zoom and LinkedIn, we have
ultimately expanded our outreach and have been sourcing some amazing talent. The pool of available
talent is changing, and we’re trying to make the most of it.

Chief among these, is a chance to hire talented people at a time when they might have trouble finding
or keeping jobs elsewhere, as many other companies in our area have been forced to let go of staff for
survival. While it’s sad to think of the trauma that many have faced in these uncertain times, it feels so
good to discuss with our new hires how much we care for our members and they care for us. Therefore,
we’re intensely focused on trying to get the right people and provide them the tools and resources to
be successful. This will not only serve our needs for now but will better position us for post-pandemic
recovery and growth as a club.

On behalf of our team, thank you for making Sawgrass an amazing place to work!

SAWGRASS GOLF ACADEMY
Without a doubt, the game is more fun the further you hit it. Swinging hard can get
you there on occasion but knowing where to hit the accelerator can get you there
consistently. A gain of 5 mph can net us 15 to 20 yards in distance, That’s almost 3
clubs! In the video below, I try to explain where to step on the gas and finish the golf
swing! See you around the practice facility!
D.O.G TREATS
                                      As 2020 concluded, I took the opportunity
                                      to reflect on how fortunate we are to be
                                      here at Sawgrass and also how fortunate
                                      we are to enjoy playing the game of golf.
                                      As a PGA Professional one of the areas
                                      that we focus on is creating strategies
                                      and opportunities to introduce the
                                      game of golf to potential future golfers.
                                      Who would have thought that a global
                                      pandemic would have the ability to create
                                      the largest spike in golf participation since
                                      the early 2000’s. In the state of Florida, the
      participation rate in the game grew 37% according to statistics provided
      by the National Golf Foundation. That increase was more than evident
      inside our gates as rounds were just shy of 65,000. With Spring right
      around the corner and our tournament season underway, I expect play
      to remain consistent. Please follow the basic course etiquette guidelines
      and do your part to provide excellent playing conditions for your fellow
      members.

      With the cooler months behind us, the Sawgrass Golf Academy is excited
      to continue providing new clinics and programs to help you improve your
      game, keep an eye out for the new Golf Academy website. We are excited
      to get our Junior Golf Program back on to our schedule beginning on
      Sunday, March 21st. We are planning for a full schedule of Junior Golf
      Events, instructional programs and the ever-popular PGA Junior League
      season which begins in April. Finally, I am excited to announce that in the
      coming weeks you will have the opportunity to experience the Sawgrass
      Full Swing Golf simulator. This addition to the clubhouse will serve as
      not only an indoor club fitting and golf instruction simulator, but a great
      entertainment space for private functions, birthday parties, indoor league
      play, and tournament competitions. Just think how nice it will be to play
      St. Andrews from the comfort of our clubhouse. Thank you as always,
      we are looking forward to a lot of fun and exciting times ahead!

TENNIS TIPS
Gday
      With the challenges we all faced in 2020, tennis has
      shown much strength amid the pandemic with data
      showing increased participation, and racquet sales
      across the board.
      Participation increased 11% in the third quarter of 2020
      and a whopping 50% over the third quarter in 2019. This
      is all due to the steps that were taken at the beginning
      of the pandemic to keep tennis viable and now we are
      seeing tennis surging.
      Here at Sawgrass, we are off to a flying start to 2021
      and our Sawgrass ladies’ teams are entering the
      second half of the season and making their run for the
      championships. We are competing in A1, A3, B2, C1,
      D1, Beaches and First Coast leagues, and are having
      some terrific results. At this time, we are in first place
      in several divisions and in position to make a run in
      several others.
      Our Men’s teams are competing in the United States
      Tennis Association and First Coast leagues with
      distinction coming off a District Championship and
      finalist appearance.
      We are all looking forward to a great year of tennis here
      at our club.

      Cheers

TRAINER HIGHLIGHT

                                 Exercise       Specialist,   Kaila
                                 Wright, to the Sawgrass
                                 Fitness Center team. Kaila
                                 just moved to Jacksonville
                                 from Orlando. Kaila recently
                                 married    in     October     and
                                 shortly after her husband
                                 accepted a position as a
                                 Clay County firefighter which
prompted their move up north. It has been their desire to
move closer to the beach for quite some time and they took
this as the perfect opportunity to make that happen.

Kaila’s passion for living a healthy lifestyle and pushing
others to be the best versions of themselves influenced
her to pursue a career in the exercise science field. In 2016,
she became a certified 200-hour yoga instructor through
the Yoga Alliance and in 2018, she received her bachelor’s                THE IMPORTANCE OF A
degree in exercise science from the University of Central                 DYNAMIC WARM UP AND
Florida. Kaila’s long-term goal is to become a physical                        COOL DOWN
therapist that specializes in geriatric care.
