Board Book 2023

Golf and Grounds: Lukus and his team have done a nice job getting the courses in better shape each month. A temporary team of workers came in to remove the Poa Annua on Riverside and parts of Highlands, where we could not use Spectacle to kill it this year, and it has really made a difference in the appearance of the courses. He and his team are also implementing the GCM Standards for the summer season now and it is evident of the work they are performing on the golf courses. What he needs now is warmer weather, where the high and the low temperatures add up to 150 degrees or more, and the grasses will really begin to grow in. There are several areas where sod has been laid on Riverside, by the Board meeting they will have laid three truckloads of sod and many areas are growing back in with the warmer weather. They will continue to lay more sod as they can get it from the sod farms. Bud Taylor and his team continue to do a great job handling the increase in play on our courses and at the practice facilities. The Sargent Member/Member was very successful tournament, and our guests play continues to be strong in May. The Golf Team did a wonderful job running the Camp Kudzu and the very large Northside Hospital Golf Outings, which was Northside Hospital’s 30 th year of hosting the Charity Tournament. Athletics: Jonathan Lee has been able to hire more lifeguards than the past two seasons, and Neil is confident we will have what we need to operate the pool this year. Neil also plans to have Craig Jolley spending some time at the Aquatics Center this summer to assist in overseeing the operation. Craig has a great attitude and he will be a positive influence on the team. The Spa continues to stay busy with treatments and services. Stefanie Arrington and her team did a great job providing crafts and entertainment for the Mother Daughter Tea and the Mother’s Day Buffet. The Summer Camps that Stefanie offers are filling up quickly again this year. T ennis : Jeff Chandley and the Tennis Team continue to stay busy with the ALTA play with several teams making to the playoffs. He continues to see increased junior tennis participation since the Patrick Aubone has taken over the program. Pickleball also continues to grow in popularity with our members, and Jeff is looking at what the cost will be to spruce up the stadium with new paint and other maintenance needs.

The Club’s n ew CHRO will be Joel Myers and he will arrive on June 1 st . Please take a moment to welcome these two gentlemen to the AAC!
