If you missed last week’s meeting, you missed a good one. We had extended networking with Member Introductions. Everyone had a few minutes to discuss who they are and what they do. Basically, It was a one minute spotlight speaking opportunity promoting your business. We will bring this introduction networking back again in the future as I believe that it was beneficial to members.
I would like to thank one of our own, Karen Mathis, who stepped in at the last minute and gave us a condensed update on things that are happening around the city. There is a lot going on downtown with city hall, the Ed Ball Building, Brooklyn and the Shipyards. The old Times Union Building was discussed in detail as well as the indictments relating to JEA. As we all know, there is a lot happening with home sales and development in NE Florida as well.

Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at Jacksonville Beach Golf Club!
Owned and operated by the City of Jacksonville Beach, Jax Beach Golf Club has been a staple in the golf world of beach life. There are 50+ years of history in these greens and fairways, starting out as a private 9-hole course and evolving into 18-holes when the City of Jacksonville Beach acquired the facility. Over the years, Jax Beach Golf Club has had many transformations, but none as extensive as the latest renovation that began in January 2018.
More than a facelift, the new course was designed to delight and inspire long-time club members and newcomers alike. Golfers will enjoy a fun, playable yet interesting design by acclaimed golf course architect, Harrison Minchew. Among the improvements are lush fairways of 419 Bermuda grass and greens planted with salt-resistant Platinum Paspalum turf. The drainage and irrigation systems have been modernized and use 100% reclaimed water along with reshaped and reconfigured holes that enhance playability. Golfers will appreciate more par-4 holes and fewer water hazards. The biggest change is in the finish with the reconfigured 16th, 17th, and 18th greens.
