LINES FROM THE LAKE
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2016
A NOTE FROM
YOUR CLUB MANAGER
Everyone here at Hampton Lake is looking forward to the fall! The
pool area was the most popular amenity over the summer and the
changes to the pool deck and better access to the Tower Bar proved
to be very beneficial.
We encourage you to join us for September activities beginning with
Labor Day weekend. The staff has a full line-up of events planned for
the long weekend.
September 17th is the Tiger Bass Race, an event we are very proud
of and showcases the best in our community. Hundreds of volunteers
work together to host a race for 300- 500 runners in order to better
the lives of some less fortunate in the Lowcountry. BJVIM, Memory
Matters and Soles 4 Souls are charities that will benefit from this year’s
event. We would like to thank all those responsible for making this
event what it has become!
The Lakeside Village Market will take place October 1st. The event
is free and open to the public. Talented members, small businesses
and local artisans will display their wares. Additionally there will be face
painting, the Bluffton Fire Department Fire
Truck, local honey, sweet treats, kettle corn
and more for all to enjoy.
The Captain’s Cup, our premier memberguest fishing event, will take place October
21st - 23rd. We are anticipating for one of
the largest to date.
Bryan Rhame
General Manager
We hope everyone has a fantastic fall
season and we look forward to seeing you at the Lake!

FISHNETS TENNIS TIP
Hand Signals: As many of you progress in
doubles, you and your partner may start
using hand signals when serving. The key to
using hand signals with your partner is to be
on the same page and keep things simple.
My advice is to use a close fist signal to stay,
an open hand signal to poach, and a single
finger to fake. Make sure you practice with
your partner before you use them in a match!
-From Tennis Pro Mike O’Regan

“HAMPTON LAKE MASSAGE THERAPISTS ARE SKILLED AND
LOOK TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE TARGETING ANY ‘PROBLEM’
AREAS BY OBTAINING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BEFORE THEY BEGIN. MASSAGE THERAPY IS GREAT WAY
TO ELIMINATE PAIN AND DECREASE TENSION WHICH
ULTIMATELY LEADS TO A DEEPER AND LONGER SLEEP,
IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY, AND REDUCES THE POTENTIAL OF
INJURIES DURING STRENGTH TRAINING. LASTLY, YOU
CAN’T BEAT THE CONVENIENCE OF HAVING A SPA RIGHT

A NOTE FROM
THE DEVELOPER
Summer has quickly come to an end and Hampton Lake is
on pace for a record setting sales year. The opening of the
Concept Homes Collection this past July has driven interest
in Hampton Lake up over 30% from last year. If you haven’t
had a chance to walk through these beautiful homes, please
come by. With so many unique architectural details, rest
assured you’ll leave with some great ideas for your current
or next home.
The next 49 homesites in Phase 3 are under construction
with an expected delivery date of January 2017. These
homesites will boast some of the longest views on the Lake
and the 23 lake and wooded homesites on The Peninsula
will also feature beautiful hardwoods on each homesite. As
always, we will reach out to our current membership first
before releasing these to the public. Be on the lookout for
more information later this fall.
Thank you again for being such an important part of our
community and I look forward to seeing you around the
Lake!
