August News from St. Andrews Country Club:


  • The Board of Governors of the Club have announced the temporary suspension of the Sports Membership for St. Andrews as of a letter dated August 12, 2014.  The only type membership available now is the Full Golf Membership.  This has created some confusion for the members since it wasn't fully explained in the letter and the fact that it's "temporarily suspended" means exactly what.  All the public forums that members are involved with are buzzing about this.
  • I'll keep you posted.
  • Entertainment in the View has been changed to Friday nights along with sushi and it's really been drawing quite a crowd for summer months.
  • Friday night Lobster Specials in the Gallery are also a big hit.
  • We lost three wonderful members in the past month;  all three were friends of my husband Seymour and of me, so it's been tough going.  Too much sadness and all three were buried up north, so it's a reminder of what we all left behind moving down to Boca Raton.  No regrets; Boca Raton's sunshine all year and the fabulous Florida clouds make it all worthwhile for me.  That said, I'm still a Yankee and NY Giants fan with a heavy NY accent.  As the song said, "They can't take that away from me."
  • A tornado touched down briefly not far from St. Andrews Country Club -- in fact just across the turnpike about 2 miles away according to one weather reporter.  According to another weather reporter, it never touched down, so who knows.
  • 57 Homes for sale today - August 19, 2014 - in St. Andrews Country Club according to www.BestOfStAndrews.com which is excellent.  They range in price from high $200s to just over $10 Million.  Funny, but that same home was only in the high eight million dollar range 60 days ago.  Hmmm!  Sometimes, I wonder!
  • That's all the news that's fit to print right now.
