Tis the Season at AAC Season's Greetings from Our House Chair

Dear Members, The holiday season is always such a special time of year at AAC. There are so many great events to enjoy alongside your family and friends! The food and beverage team is working

December is packed with great opportunities to celebrate and enjoy time spent with family and fellowship with friends. We kick off December with our Ugly Sweater Brunch on December 7, followed by the holiday lunch buffet beginning December 9. There’s a wreath workshop on December 10 and gingerbread house making on December 14. The club will come alive for our annual Christmas Spectacular, “Christmas in the City”, on December 19 and 20. Registration for the event opens on November 6. There is a Christmas countdown brunch on December 24, then we end the year in celebration with our New Year’s Eve event, 'Midnight in Paris,' on December 31! Tish, Nick, Alex and I are truly thankful to call Atlanta Athletic Club our home. We are so grateful for our amazing Senior Leadership Team and our Team Members. Lastly, we are grateful for each and every one of you that make AAC so special! Cheers!

hard to ensure every event is memorable. I hope everyone has had the opportunity to meet and welcome our new Restaurant Director, Anthony Appie, who comes to us from the Ritz Carlton. November has several special events scheduled to kick off the season! Our “Going Coastal” dinner is scheduled for November 7, combining the former seafood spectacular and oyster roast! On November 12, we are hosting a very special wine dinner featuring Hundred Acre wines, truly rare and highly sought-after wines from Sonoma and Napa. No doubt Chef DaRin will have an amazing dinner scripted to accompany these beautiful wines. To get you in the mood to entertain this holiday, a Holiday Mixology Class is scheduled for November 21, leading up to our Thanksgiving Day Buffet on November 27. We round out November with our annual Christmas Tree Lighting on November 29!

Ryan and Grant made a joint presentation to the Duffers on Thursday August 21, 2025. We learned the GSGA was founded in 1916 and that AAC was one of the 16 founding clubs. Bobby Jones at the age 14 won the inaugural Georgia Amateur. The GSGA currently has a full time staff of 22 and 250 volunteers who are focused upon achieving its Mission Statement which is: “We serve and advance the game of golf by providing opportunities for everyone to play, through promoting its best interests and in celebrating its storied history.” The GSGA benefits its community of 100,000 members and 350 member clubs by maintaining the handicap index, golf genius tournament software, course measuring and rating, education seminars, advocacy of turf grass research, foundation scholarships, etc. GSGA hosts over 30 competitions, has a program to make golf more affordable for junior golfers, and manages the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame and Induction Ceremony each year at AAC. The Duffers really enjoyed the presentation and were appreciative of a sleeve of golf balls with the red, white and blue Play, Grow Lead motto.

Gary Laney won the longest drive on #18. Welcome New Duffer CHRIS AGUILAR
