PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Looking Back

By Whit Taylor

The end of my term as President of Peach Tree Golf Club is coming soon It has been a journey that has taken many turns. However, I believe the journey with the board members I have served with has brought the Club to a much stronger place and ready to continue growing with a positive purpose Our goal has been to make the Club the best value that we could for our members.

When looking back at my time on the board, it reminds me of when I joined the Club and, more importantly, why I joined the Club

I used to think Peach Tree was a great golf course but not something I would ever be a part of as a member Thankfully, I took a chance on trying to join Peach Tree and was welcomed by many I knew from the community as well as some new friends I did not know I had My entrance was hrough a Christmas gift of golf lessons with the golf pro at the time Pat Gould Through Pat, I met the general manage Nate Pomeroy Both encouraged t me to join and finally convinced me to be part of the Peach Tree experience The why for me was the golf course and the people

Every time I play Peach Tree or spend time at the Club practicing, getting a meal or being involved in an event I am grateful for them pushing me to join I have enjoyed the best golf course in Northern California, being around a group of very nice members and working with a dedicated staff of people who care about their job and the Club they make a better place

Having been given the honor to serve as President of the Club is something I will not forget The board members care very deeply about the club and our debates always revolved around how to keep making it better Tracy and his crew are phenomenal in giving us such a consistent and well-maintained golf course to play Luke and company make sure we can play when we want and help us to improve how well we play. Becky is the glue that keeps things humming Casey and Rachel do an incredible job with the food and making our event business shine. Our entire support staff spend many hours making sure we see and get the best club experience And, of course, our general manager Jeff keeps everyone focused on making Peach Tree the best club for all of us.

As spring starts to break into our rainy, cold days I hope that you spend more time at the Club while enjoying the benefits of membership I cannot go without saying we still need your help keeping things nice Please fix your ball marks, rake the bunkers, and put sand in your divots
