Managers Notes
What a thrill to see a beautiful swarm of busy-bees at our Annual Spring Clean-Up. There were over 30 people who worked very hard on the Golf Course, Parking Lot, Flower Beds and Ladies Restroom. So much of the labor was flat-out sweaty, messy, back-breaking work and the staff is grateful for this contribution from our members. You made our workplace just that much nicer! Bravo to those members & the HLG golf team! Speaking of Improvements... The Board of Directors approved a few enhancements to the Clubhouse and Property. We are remodeling the Ladies Restroom in phases. The wallpaper has been stripped...and now we only have about 12 more steps to go. Thank you Buddy Tarleton and Mike Mechlin who are both tackling most of the dry wall and electric. A shout out also goes to Andrea Scott who bought/donated the new counter tops for the vanity and make-up table. Other projects that are underway are landscaping the north side of the building, just under the windows of the Garden Room and trenching in a line for both irrigation and electric down to the Club driveway sign. This way, the flowers will get a drink and the sign will be lit, especially during the fall and winter months.
