The number of people at the pool or playing rounds of golf each day has increased even though fewer people are members.

Pool and golf memberships are down this year, but both members are using both more than they did a year ago because of this summer's nice weather.

Thus far, the Millers are 3-0 and have 21 more matches left on the season.
