We would like to bid a fond farewell to Jimmy Green. Thank you for all you have done over the past 3 years. We wish you and your family all the best!

With the golf season fast approaching and with the help of the Men's Golf Association, we are launching a "Keep the Course Beautiful" campaign. We will be focusing on the importance of fixing ball marks, sanding divots, and raking bunkers. You can help by doing all of these things as well as making sure everyone around you is also. Furthermore, by joining the MGA, you will help contribute to the purchasing of many items necessary in keeping conditions up to par (pun intended)! Annual dues are $50. If you are interested in joining, contact Kevin Lauderdale at transtara@bellsouth.net. Thank you for doing your part in keeping our championship golf course in great shape!
