President’s Message
Dear Fellow Greystone Members,
It has been a fun summer at Greystone. I hope you were
able to enjoy great golf and the many activities the club had
to offer.
As we welcome autumn, we can also look forward to a special
milestone for our club. September marks Greystone Golf and
Country Club’s 25th Anniversary! Mr. Porter and his team
are planning several celebration events to mark this great
achievement. I encourage you to make plans to attend! This
25th anniversary is truly a time of great celebration but also
a time of reflection and gratitude. As I reflect on Greystone’s
history, I am reminded how unique this achievement is. Greystone is one of only a few
golf clubs that has weathered the hard test of time.
Each year of these past twenty five brought with it not only great memories, but its
own unique challenges that demanded forward vision and tough decisions. Greystone’s
completely volunteer leadership structure has been honored to have highly sought
after business men, and as of this year, its first business woman, serve in Executive
Leadership. This talent pool of wise counsel and senior oversight of the club’s direction
has been invaluable.
Greystone’s culture of encouraging committee membership also promoted excellence.
Committee members have given countless hours to make thoughtful, researched
recommendations on behalf of the membership.
So, on behalf of all our members, I want to thank all of these men and women in leadership
for their guidance, hard work, and willingness to serve. Their commitment to excellence
has contributed greatly to Greystone’s success.
Twenty five years ago, our Founding President, Mr. Charlie Tickle, realized his vision for
our community and our club. I want to thank him for his forward vision and willingness to
take the inherent risk that comes with such a project. He set a standard with Greystone
Golf and Country Club that continues to be a benchmark a quarter century later.
Most importantly, the backbone of our success is you, our members. Without your
willingness to invest in and support its future, Greystone Golf and Country Club would not
be possible. Whether you are just joining the Greystone family or a long time member,
take pride that you are part of a premiere club that can celebrate the past and look
toward a very bright future.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your President. It is always an honor.
Terry Smith
