The tall fescue has been received very well from people who are enjoying the course. The conditions are at an all time high. The course has been received really well and patrons have only said positives. A big thank you needs to be given to Aaron Web and Julie Jenkins for their dedication and work ethic to make The Legends the best they can. 2. The Club Legends: The “Deli” and “Cart” is going well for this time of year, weather permitting we are having some solid days pushing products. The employees are doing a good job with customer service and the patrons are really appreciative of the changes that we made with the staff, hours and customer service. The “Banquet” aspect went well in May we had contracted out with a local caterer and the events we had were very well received. We are still trying to secure more banquets. 3. Outings: Still working on inviting as many outings as we can. We are finding it much easier to attract potential outings because we are operating the food and beverage aspect of the course. 4. Tee Times: Times are being scheduled and picking up for the middle of summer and later in the year. 5. Revenue: We are slightly behind this year for the same time last year, mostly due to the weather that we have received, we closed the course twice during the month. Expectations are that we will recover in June, unless the weather is an ongoing issue.
