GolfCommission | 2019-01-29 | 4 | Exhibit "A" January 29th, 2019 Golf Commission Communications - Corica Park has recently received recognition and awards related to the high quality of work completed on the Golf Courses. Golf.com named the MIF ALBRIGHT one of the best par-3 golf courses in America. "firm and fast, and fun for beginners as it is challenging for serious sticks.' https://www.golf.com/travel/2018/12/27/best-par-3-golf-courses-americal Best municipal course renovation of 2018: Corica Park (South) "Fast-running fairways, run-up ramps into low-slung greens, artfully configured bunkers and wispy native fescue grasses grace the layout." https://www.golf.com/courses-and-travel/2018/11/19/best-municipal-course-renovation-of-2018- corica-park-south/ Audubon International Corica Park - South Golf Course has been selected as Ewing & Audubon International's Water & Sustainability Innovation Award for 2019. Audubon's intention is to "recognize and promote the positive impact landscapes and other green spaces have in creating more sustainable communities." The award was open to all landscape projects, public and private, not specific to golf. The notification email said, "Congratulations! This project was an excellent example of focusing on all aspects of sustainability with unique examples of water conservation, material reuse and environmental stewardship." These awards recognize our journey to restore Alameda's golf heritage. But it didn't just happen. A vision was shared, a promise was made, and then a great deal of hard work and investment followed to deliver on that promise. I would encourage City Staff to celebrate these awards and the successful partnership with Greenway that led to them. And I would ask the public and my fellow commissioners to acknowledge these achievements and to take time to say thank all of the hard-working staff at Greenway.
