2016 has been the first full spring - summer
season in the Greystone Performance Center.
Our amazing facility allows us to coach players
year round. This has yielded some amazing
performances from our students.
We kicked off the summer with Spain Park winning
the boys State Team Championship with 75% of
the team either Greystone members or part of
our Elite Junior program. The Club Match Play
Championship was again won by Academy
student, Dr. Todd Reaves. One of our students
won the AGA State Match Play Championship,
while our elite junior girls contend in regional
and national tournaments. Our ladies programs
continue to grow under Liz’s guidance with over
140 ladies now engaged in either instruction or
regular play days! We are well on the way to our
goal of reaching 200 by the end of 2016.
September 9th -10thwewill host our Kickoff Classic
Golf School featuring the renowned Carl Lohren
as our guest Instructor. This School is open to
members and guests. It will cover all aspects of
the game, utilizing both Legacy and Founders for
on course simulations. During the school, Carl will
be sharing his “One Move to Better Golf” approach
with members and their guests. The school is
structured so you can drop in for specific sessions
or attend the entire two day experience. This is
a wonderful opportunity to see how old school
and new school teaching can blend together
seamlessly for the betterment of the game. Please
