What happened? Surely you cannot expect me, you most humble servant, to answer such a question. The GM  marches to his own drummer. For example:

• Hey board of directors. Don't outsource the YC. Allow me to continue managing the Yacht Club along with our terrific food and beverage manager Joe Reinhart. A year later he fired Joe.
• Hey board. The Yacht Club pool is cracked after Hurricane Sandy but not because I emptied it in winter. It had to be empty for safety. Some months later -- Hey board. The pool was actually filled when it cracked. I don't know why I told you it was empty. A month later. Hey board. The pool really was full, and here is the photo to prove it. (except the photo was not at the time of the storm that caused the pool to crack due to being empty)
• Hey board. I hired this really great experienced guy to run the Yacht Club. Ooops. Had to fire him at the end of the first summer.
• Hey board. Golf operations are really looking exciting.
• Hey board. The YC banquet facility is booked through next year.
• Hey board. Golf bookings will be down this spring but I'm not gonna tell you how I know that. And a GM direct quote to the board at a public board meeting: "I'm not going to debate my General Manager report."

Now we can add your discovery to the list. Thanks.
