MeetBobStarr DirectorofRacquetSports
My name is Bob Starr and I am the new Director of Racquet Sports at ACC. I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA. I played collegiate tennis for Slippery Rock University where I earned a bachelor’s degree in teaching health and physical education with an emphasis in Sports Management.
I have 30 years’ experience as a Racquets Director with a 7-year stint in GA and the last 23 in NC. I am commuting from Durham where I live with my wife Denise. I have two adult children that work in the RTP area. I am the lead guitarist in a super fun cover band, Atomic Blonde. We play gigs all over the triangle area.
I’m excited to join the ACC team and I’m looking forward to boosting the racquets program.
Come out and meet our new Racquet Sports Director and enjoy appetizers and drinks in our updated Pro Shop and patio.

Thank you for joining us!
How it works:
Every member family has their name in the tumbler. One name will be drawn at random. The winner MUST BE PRESENT IN THE GRILL OR
SADDLECLUB LOUNGE!
The gold starts off at $300 in credit. Each week that the name drawn is not present, the name goes back in and the pot grows by $100 (capped @ $2000). This continues until someone wins and then the pot restarts at $300. So make your reservations, bring your friends, and come out to test your luck!
We draw every Thursday Night at 7pm!
Must be present to win and with an open chit to win.
