sad day in April Sound......
STAFF CHANGE
It's with a great deal of regret that I must inform you of a change in our club's senior staff. After a review of our F&B department results and our plans for the future, Chef Darren Reed and I have come to a mutual agreement that in the best interest of the Club, he will resign his position. In lieu of working out a notice, he will vacate the position immediately in order to pursue new opportunities, both within ClubCorp and outside the company. Over the past three years, Darren has greatly improved the quality and presentation of our food and we'll be forever grateful of his service to our Club. We truly appreciate all Darren has done for us and wish him only the very best in his culinary quest.
Following the fire, Darren assumed the additional responsibility of supervising the service personnel and unfortunately we are not in the position to hire a new F&B Director at this time. We do need to look to the future opening of our new clubhouse; the planning, staffing and training that must begin now. As a result we had to find an individual with experience as both a chef and F&B director. Beginning tomorrow, we will welcome Rich Popovich as that person. Rich is coming to us from Kingwood C.C. where he is currently an assistant director of food and beverage. We hope everyone will welcome Rich to our Team and we look forward to his new leadership.

Boats
Chris Craft Stinger 390 used during the first season of Miami Vice.[43]
Throughout the entire series, Sonny Crockett lived on an Endeavour 42 sailboat named the St. Vitus' Dance, which in 1986 cost $120,000.[44] However, in the pilot episode, Crockett is seen on an Endeavor 40 sailboat.[44] The allure of the sailboats was so much that the Endeavour 42 used for the 1986 season of Miami Vice was sold to a midwest couple, while the Endeavour 40, the pilot's sailboat, was sold to a chartering service in Fort Lauderdale. At the same time, Endeavour was building a new 42 for the 1987 season of Miami Vice.[44]
Crockett also pilots a 39 foot Chris Craft Stinger 390 in the first season,[43] and a Wellcraft 38 Scarab KV for the remainder of the show.[33][45][44] The Scarab 38 KV was a 28-hued, twin 440-hp boat that sold for $130,000 in 1986.[44]
As a result of the attention the Scarab 38 KV garnered on Miami Vice, Wellcraft received "an onslaught of orders", increasing sales by 21% in one year alone.[44] In appreciation, Wellcraft gave Don Johnson an exact duplicate of the boat as a gift. Afterward, Johnson was frequently seen arriving to work in it.[44] Altogether, one hundred copies of the boat (dubbed the "Scarab 38KV Miami Vice Edition") were built by Wellcraft.[46] The Miami Vice graphics and color scheme, which included turquoise, aqua, and orchid, could have been ordered on any other Scarab from 20-38 feet.[33]
Don Johnson also designed the Scarab Excel 43 ft, Don Johnson Signature Series (DJSS), and raced a similar one as well.[47] The Don Johnson Signature Series was powered by twin 650-hp Lambourghini V-12's, which caused some problem to the design of the boat due to their size.[47] Overall the boat cost $300,000 with each engine alone amounting to between $60-$70,000.[47] Furthermore, the thrill of boat racing would lead Johnson to startup his own Offshore powerboat racing team, called Team USA.[48] Joining him were other Hollywood stars like Kurt Russell and Chuck Norris, and eventually Johnson would win the Offshore World Cup in 1988 and continue racing into the 1990's.[48]
In total, six real-life Scarab 38KV TV-boats were built, including the one given to Don Johnson.[citation needed] The latter boat has been confiscated twice by the IRS in Finland and currently is restored by a caring owner. Three others are located in New Jersey, (2nd season boat) "the Camera boat" in Norway, and the last one, which can only be seen for one still clip during the 5th season, is currently in Germany.[citation needed]

Either that, or he is taking the true high roller route where he is finished in a couple minutes, hands them the money and tells them where the front door is.
