Golf 2.0



It has been 40 days since golf was played at Aldarra and in less than 48 hours we will be back in business.   Nothing could have prepared any of us for what the world is going through or the challenges we face ahead.  


Our goal(s) have been clear since the 'Stay Home, Stay Safe' order was issued:

               1. Provide a safe, social distancing work environment for                     the health and safety of our staff.

               2. Provide a place for members to enjoy the outdoors and
                   the game they love.

Our operation will continue this approach for the foreseeable future.  Safety has always been a pillar of our operation, but the safety we are focusing on now is vastly different.



The golf course might look the same as before, but the operations of how it is maintained is drastically different.   Tasks that took 20 minutes, now take up to twice as long, due to social distancing and cleaning procedures.  The picture above shows the last project we did as a team before the Governor's order was issued.  The days of these work environments are in the distant future with no clarity as to when they will return.


Golf, like life, will be different in 2020, no rakes, no water coolers, modified cups, but maybe there can be a silver lining in all of this. Maybe the simplicity of the game we love can return and the joy and escape it provides can be our focus.  



I am excited to see golf return.  It is a small step on the path our world will navigate in the days and months ahead.  Our staff will be here, as we have been over the past month, focusing on what we have known through the years, while also focusing on what has changed and how to adapt.  Your patience and support is appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you!
