I would like to thank everyone for participating in yesterday's Turkey Shoot-out.  I hope everyone had a good time playing & thankful that we had the opportunity to experience the BEST weather ever during the play of this event.  Congratulations to the Overall Medalist team of Gregg Brooks, Alan Donhoff, Ben Jansen & Johnny Jansen with a scorecard playoff win posted on the holes of #10-18 to secure the victory.  Also, congratulations to the winning net team of Merle Hogan, Kevin Fallahay, Mark Collins & Marc O'Daniel with their score of 55 & a 1-stroke margin of victory over numerous teams in the field.

With the conclusion of the golf calendar for the year, I would also like to recognize our Golf Course Superintendent, Mike Coy, & his staff as well as our Executive Chef, Jess Hatchett, & his staff for their efforts in servicing the membership and enhancing the playing experience.  We look forward to enhancing the member experience and make all events at your Club better for the upcoming year!

OCC Clubhouse & Golf Notes

I would like to inform the membership that our Clubhouse Maintenance Manager, Bill Taylor, is "retiring" from his duties & responsibilities after 16 years of service to the membership.  It has been a tremendous honor to have had the opportunity to work aside Bill as a department manager & I can attest that his passion, dedication & professionalism for our Club is something that I've always admired. It is without question that his trade & Club knowledge will be greatly missed but the beginnings of his next career, spending quality time with his family, is why we all work & I wish him the best.  Please make sure that if you see the "Mustache Man" (named by my daughter) the next time you are at the Club to give him a handshake & a thank you for his service!
