Dear Brookstone Members,
As 2014 draws to an end and we
start a new year, I want to reflect on the numerous improvements that
have been made to our golf course and club facilities this year:
· Complete Greenside
Bunker Renovation
· Cart Path Renovation
· Resurfacing of Several
Teeing Areas
· Tree Removal in
Several Areas
· New Artificial Driving
Range Mat
· New Pavers for
Amenities
· Geese Removal
· Large Percentage of
Contamination "Yellow Dog" Removal from our
Greens
· Resurfacing of Tennis
Courts
· Outdoor Fire Pit and
Seating Addition to the Clubhouse
· New Golf Cart Fleet
Along with these improvements we welcomed our new General
Manager, Mark Turner, in June of this year. Mark has made some tremendous
strides in making improvements to the club, and we greatly appreciate all of
his hard work.
Another major accomplishment was that our Class A Golf Course
Superintendent, Joey Franco, became a
recipient of not one, but two, very prestigious national honors
this year. The Golf Course Superintendent
Association’s highest designation - CERTIFIED GOLF
COURSE SUPERINTENDENT (CGCS)....Please
congratulate Joey when you see him, as this is a highly
earned honor. Joey Franco was also interviewed by the Marietta Daily
Journal for becoming a recipient of the MELROSE LEADERSHIP
ACADEMY
Academy provides Golf Course Superintendents the wonderful
opportunity to attend the organization's
national show, to network and improve management and developmental
skills. Please feel free to contact
With our new GM, Mark Turner and his staff, our Head Golf
Professional, Mark Avery and his capable
assistants, and the grounds crew/maintenance staff led
by Joey Franco (CGCS) 2015 is looking very bright
for BROOKSTONE COUNTRY CLUB and its members.
Sincerely,
Bob Visentin
Greens Committee Member
