Club Business

Dear Member,

Another Fourth of July celebration is history. As always it was great to see so many Members, family and friends gather together for such a memorable Haig Point Holiday! Every year the fireworks, the music, the food, and the activities get better. I know the team has already begun to plan next year’s extravaganza!

On a more serious note, COVID infections are on the rise here on Daufuskie Island. We ask that you help protect our community if you have been exposed or become ill by wearing a mask when traveling on our ferries. Our community still has many vulnerable Members.

As I discussed in a recent CEO letter, I would like to remind everyone of our Club Policy that all non-traditional golf carts must receive approval before use within the Haig Point Community. The new Kandi Car is NOT approved within Haig Point at this time. I also ask everyone to follow our road rules, especially going the correct way around the Lighthouse Circle and no under-age driving.

I urge you to please consider our club-owned real estate agency if you or a friend are considering buying or selling property. Premier Properties by Haig Point is the most successful brokerage on Daufuskie Island, with the highest total sales volume in 2022. At Haig Point, our team has represented 23 clients for a total sales volume of $12.7 million, more than all the other agencies serving Haig Point combined. And of the eleven properties currently under contract, our company is representing both the buyer and the seller in nine sales for an additional $10+ million in total sales volume pending, $700,000 of which is on Club owned lots. Three of these pending properties have gone under contract since July 1st and include the purchaser paying the new $50,000 Membership Contribution. When you utilize one of our real estate agents you are supporting the club’s development business, the proceeds of which will help fund future Haig Point capital projects. Email info@haigpoint.com for an honest, straightforward and comprehensive property analysis.

I urge you to consider supporting all the Club’s business lines, whether it is real estate sales, merchandise, cart maintenance, Food & Beverage Outlets or landscaping and tree removal. Every retail transaction made by the Club puts money back into the clubs revenue. Member usage of Club Services is down and this has a dramatic effect on budgets and cash flow. In fact, a small number of our Members contribute the vast majority of our service revenues. If we have not earned your business in the past, I ask you to give us another chance. Tim Richards and Michael Clarke have transformed our Food and Beverage operation. Juan Rodriquez and the Facility Maintenance Team are ready to assist you with your home repair projects. John Edwards and his team in the golf cart repair shop is ready to help with your cart repairs. The Mansion Mercantile Shop is full of unique gift ideas. The Club is ready to serve you and supporting the Club benefits you and your fellow Members in the long run.

As you might have seen, Haig Point was recently featured in an article in Travel and Leisure Magazine! https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/golf-vacations/places-to-retire-with-best-golf-courses. It is truly something to be proud of when a world-class media outlet recognizes the value and uniqueness of our home Community.

Thank you for being Members and for making this such a special place to live and work. Enjoy the summer!

Doug
