Golf, Good Weather, and Good Things at Hacienda Iguana Golf & Beach Club
Rainy season has finally come to Nicaragua. For the month May Iguana received 10.5 inches of rain. Just last Friday night we received 1.3 inches and of course lightning knocked out two cellular towers which was repaired in two days. One cannot complain that the weather Gods have been on our side. During the day time mostly sunny and cloudy in the afternoons to squeeze in a cool round of golf. While I sit here and bring you Iguana Beach updates I look out my window and see four golfers saddling up for a cool round of golf. Rains have been mostly at nighttime! So many things going on that here are a few things worth mentioning:1. I am told “Don Eloys Nica Bar Y Restuarante” is ahead of schedule and is probably ready in August. Furniture is already arriving and windows are days away from installation. Here is a picture celebrating the roof going on the restaurant with both the founder and owners.
2. The roof for the public school is going on. I am told that inauguration is likely at the end of July!
3. Iguana has four resident touring professional golfers. They have been winning a few tournaments and we are planning for a golf school clinic in August.
There names are:
Greg Hays--Sunbelt Senior tour, Florida Senior Tour
Steve Thomas--PGA Champions Tour, Sunbelt Senior tour, Florida Senior Tour
Javier Sanchez--Sunbelt Senior tour, Florida Senior Tour, Tight lies Tour
Derre Owsley--Sunbelt Senior Tour--PGA member
John Mcgough--PGA Champions Tour, Sunbelt Senior tour, Florida Senior Tour
4. Plans are underway for two golf outings. One will be for all realtor friends of Iguana. The other will be for a fundraiser for the public school. More details to come in the follow update.
5. Ground breaking for the Garage Storage Units, called “Garondo’s” commenced three weeks ago.
6.As we turned over the “Old Clubhouse” two weeks ago we held our final employee party at the old Clubhouse honoring Nicaraguan Mothers day by having a wonderful spread. Furthermore, plans were approved for the New Beach Club at Rio Colorado! We are awaiting final bids and expect to commence construction within a month’s time.
7.Villa Las Colinas first townhouse (#1) will be complete within six weeks and we have sold the top unit and have begun the permitting process for all the units now.
8.Cable TV is now being installed all over Iguana so as to bring better channels and also more variety and of course at a lower cost.
9.Membership ID cards have been ordered and for those members in good standing on Property Dues and Golf Course Memberships will receive their cards in a few days.
10. Iguana has begun construction on the main entrance and on plans it looks fantastic.
11. Villa Rio Dulce is now on the fourth floor. We have two full time cranes working away!
