Meet the Chef Harvey Miller Born native of Wichita Falls, TX, Chef H.L. Miller has accumulated over 15 years of culinary experience. He is a graduating student of the Art Institute of Dallas and Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, TX. He holds a degree in Applied Science in Culinary Arts and a degree in Business Management, as well as a Teacher s Certification in the States of Texas and Georgia. Between 2002 and 2005, Chef Miller began his career as Banquet Chef here at Wichita Falls Country Club. He had his hands in training, concepts of banquets and catering, and learning budgeting and accounting, all with the help of Senior Chef, Christian Freeman. His later career consisted of Personal and Executive Chef at the famous Blueberry Plantation Inn & Country Club in Alma, Georgia. There is where he developed the bulk of his craft in culinary arts and his love of Southern Cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. Chef Miller specializes in French Cooking, but has learned over the years to adapt to the surrounding region and embrace a multitude of cultures in his cuisine. Since August 2002, he has occupied the position of Executive or Sous Chef throughout his career. Chef Miller s favorite thing about cooking is making people smile. We are very excited to have him leading our kitchen and encourage the membership to come out and try his cuisine today.

Small Field/Small Scores Make For an Exciting Club Championship! The 2017 edition of the WFCC Club Championship and Senior Club Championship, although small, produced exciting and highly skillful golf as well as worthy champions in all flights. In the Championship Flight, Tony Ford started hot with a tournament low 75 in the first round. Trip Long and Steve Burross were close behind heading into the final round. After bookend birdies on the front nine of round two, Tony seemingly had the tournament wrapped up, then a disaster on #10 let Trip and Steve back in the mix. But then just as quickly as he lost his lead, Tony birdied 12 and 13 to take control once again and bring home the title. Steve played a great back nine in the final round to take second place from Trip Long. Charlie Gibson played very consistently to win the Net Championship by 8 shots over second place Ricky Chavez, and Gary Grimes won the Senior Championship while Mike Koen took home the Senior Net Championship. Please extend your congratulations to these players for a tournament well played! We look forward to even a better Championship next year! Jared Hotchkiss HEAD GROUNDSKEEPER This is my favorite time of year! It is the perfect time to correct some things on the course for the upcoming golfing season. Please be patient with the mess as we re-shape and define some bunker edges, and, as we repair some cart paths, as well. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed some time off with family and friends! I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy New Year from the Grounds Department. Follow us on Twitter: @JaredHotchkiss @ntfilloon December 17th 11AM - 1PM Santa will be here to take professional photos with your family and little ones!
