Dear Members, Happy New Year

I would like to take this opportunity to review some of the Club’s activities for 2021.

Our membership has grown from 281 at the beginning of the year to 377.
Bill and his staff, Gregg, Logan, Peter, Taylor, and all the grounds staff are a big reason for our membership growth.

The Tennis Program has grown, and the Spanish Wells Dream Team are the overall winners of Team Tennis on the Island, Congratulations. The addition to the tennis staff of Hannah has greatly increased interest in the Club and the number of lessons for Adults and children.

You can see Bill or Logan on the practice tees giving lessons at any given time. The Ladies Day and Men’s groups are very well attended.

Maintenance of the Tennis Courts and the Golf course is ongoing; both are in good shape. There is a section on the 8th green that Gregg is working on. It is not diseased; instead, it is water damage. Don’t forget to sand those divots!

The Holbrook Room continues to serve excellent lunches and wonderful meals at all our Social events, all of which are well attended. So get ready for more in 2022.

We are still working on some of our 2021 projects. The Ladies Room in the Clubhouse was completed, and the Men’s room needs a few finishing touches. Work is in progress on the Course bathroom. We will move on to the Pool Bathroom in 2022. The pumphouse on the 5th and 6th hole is completed, still to be completed is the pump house on 4.

The SWC and the SW POA have a signed Drainage Agreement with the Town of Hilton Head.

In 2022 we are hoping for the construction and the completion of the deck. High Top tables and chairs for the end of the dock and the tennis courts have been ordered. In addition, new golf carts and a new tractor will be arriving. Members of the Board, with Gregg’s help, are exploring additional parking options.

On a financial note, all is positive. The complete financial picture will be presented at Annual Meeting. Notification of the Annual Meeting will be issued once the date is determined.

Thanks again to the staff for their hard work and to the Board for their support, but mostly to you, the members who make the Spanish Wells Club such a great place.
