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 Club President 2016 terrysmith@edgarsbakery.com (205) 910-3917
