2 Letter From the General Manager Hard to believe that it s already September! The year is just flying by, and I hope that you have enjoyed the year thus far at the club. As Labor Day ends another summer, the beginning of another school year, the Fall Member / Guest, and the eagerly anticipated College Football Season offer many of you renewed opportunities to utilize your Country Club. The staff is ready for another exciting fall. In planning ahead, please mark your calendar for the upcoming events such as Movie Night at the Pool and the Haunted House and Pumpkin Carving! Don t forget to sign up for the Club Christmas party on December 8th, because this event sells out quickly! The employees of Greenville Country Club would like to take this opportunity to thank all those members who plan to support the Annual Christmas Fund this year. Your generosity is appreciated. The fund benefits all full-time and part-time employees on the Club's payroll in all departments of both Clubhouses (with the exception of the General Manager). You will have the opportunity to contribute on your October statement. It truly means a great deal, especially to those whom you may not see every day working hard to make your Club great! As always, your suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. Please do not hesitate to contact me at willdavis@greenvillecountryclub.com, or just pick up the phone and call. See you around the Club!

At the championship meet we finished in 4th place overall, which was incredible given the number of swimmers that we took to the meet. We had around 86 swimmers signed up this season and took around half of them to the meet. Some of the standout swimmers from the championship meet were Sarah Fountain, Grace Fountain, Emma Hastings, Asher Lowry and Corry Eason.

13 Club Championship Club Championship The Club championship will be held October 6th and 7th. Saturday's round will be held at the Greenville course, and Sunday's round will be held at the Brook Valley course. Sign ups will be at both clubs. Message from the Superintendent My how the summer has gone by, we have had our hands full with storm cleanup and mother nature providing us with plenty of rain fall. We have successfully planted champion Bermuda on the greens at GCC. Hopefully, everyone has had a chance to play. We are getting geared up for a busy fall season with a member guest outing in September and the Lady Pirates Invitational in October. I am hoping for an uneventful fall with no hurricanes. We are still in the process of finding the best route on taking care of the bulk head on hole 7 at BVCC. We will be installing artificial grass matts at both driving range tees. By having these matts, we will be able to provide a better hitting surface throughout the year. We will have days where you will be asked to stay on the matts when you practice on the range. When we over seed the tee, we will be on the matts for at least 10 days so that we can make sure that we will get a good stand of rye grass. We are glad to have both courses back open to accommodate all of our members. I hope to see you out on the course soon.
