As a social member, as well as the son of a former member from the 70's and 80's, I have been impressed with the amazing progress and development of the club compared to when I enjoyed the club as a child. For years the rumored subject of a pool has come up, and we are definitely on board with wanting a pool to enhance our membership benefits on par with what is available at other clubs. The addition of a pool will not only benefit those with families, it will increase the desirability of the club to new prospective members. Golf Widows are an archaic throwback to a different time. A pool would allow the whole family to enjoy the club as well as bring in additional F&B revenue (understanding added labor costs as well), but the point is to continue to have the features that will benefit the whole family as well as bring in new members to help ensure the viability of the club for the long term.

Whether you want the pool or not, it should still be up for a membership vote!

I went to a focus group, but I think we should get input/opinion from the whole membership.

Although I think the location as presented in focus groups has challenges I think the full membership should have a vote.

I attended a focus group and it was less about qualitative research than it was a presentation of options with a slant towards the recommendation. Relative to the other options, particularly clubhouse renovation, a pool by the dog kennel is not attractive in my opinion. But the decision should be made by the full membership.

I was not aware that this was the point of the focus groups. I wanted to participate as I am sure others did but had commitments with the kids, as I am sure many of you did.
I would also like to include that I was not aware that this was the purpose of the focus groups. I was under the impression that their had been a committee in place who had already put together the initiative and it was ready to be voted on by members???
Has any discussion ever taken place on buying the cohasset pool and redoing the facility there-just a thought.

We feel as though a pool is very important to us and our family. I think it will engage A LOT more families in club events!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to consider this important matter further. Although a pool next to the dog kennel, as proposed at the focus groups, does not make sense for the club, perhaps there is another location that would garner more support.

While I am a relatively new member of the club, I am a lifelong resident of the south shore and I understand that the addition of a pool has been debated for decades. While it may still be true that the collective membership is not in favor of adding a pool, it seems to me the issue deserves more discussion. With strong opinions on both sides of the issue, I would advocate for a direct discussion on the pool without being prejudiced by other long-term club improvement plans. I think many of us in favor of a pool would reactive favorably to a long-term improvement that still prioritized improvements to the club house, golf course, etc., provided there is clarity as to whether or not a pool will ever be supported by the membership. In the case of an affirmative vote for a pool in the future (but not now), I would encourage the Executive Committee to consider specific timeline for when the pool would be viable.

It makes sense to address the pool as we evaluate all other club projects.
