COO/General Manager's Message

(336) 275-8506

Dear Members,

I am excited to share that Greensboro Country Club once again has been honored with the Platinum Clubs of America award for the fourth time in a row for 2023 –2024. The voting body that elects the Platinum Clubs of America are General Managers, Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officers, Presidents, and owners across the nation. Platinum Clubs of America represent the top five percent of Private Clubs nationwide, providing Members a great sense of pride There are seven selection criteria, which include Universal Recognition, Excellence in Amenities and Facilities, Caliber of Staff and Professional Service Levels, Engagement and Commitment of Membership, Governance and Prudent Fiscal Management, Adapting to Changing Times, and the Overall Experience� There are only 150 Country Clubs that are Platinum Clubs of America.

Committed Members understand and accept the responsibilities of Membership. Collectively they are the custodians and the foundation of the most respected and successful Clubs� Members who represent the best quality are those that reflect the values and culture of their Club. They celebrate their heritage and faithfully observe timehonored traditions. These Members are educated to preserve the Club’s legacy by perpetuating the institution to provide for the next generation of Members. Engaged Members endeavor to attract prospective new Members who share the same values, integrity, and commitment� Should you like to learn more about the Platinum Clubs of America, please feel free to contact me�

In addition, Greensboro Country Club has also been awarded the designation of Distinguished Club from Boardroom Magazine for the eighth year in a row� To be a Distinguished Club is to be one of only a few, highly selected private clubs that are recognized as providing a Member experience at a level attained by only the finest clubs in the world. There are only 100 Country Clubs nationwide listed in this category.

We celebrate these awards and distinctions, and we hope you are proud to be a member at a club with such high accolades Please let us not forget that such accolades also come with a responsibility to continuously strive for excellence and continuous improvements.

The renovation project is finally coming to an end, and we are working our way through a very long punch list, which will take some time to complete. We are also very happy that Members can enjoy all the new spaces at the Club� We have received may comments on how much our Membership enjoys the 1909, the Family Grill and Sunset Dining Room� As the spring approaches we will also open the Donald Ross Terrace - as soon as temperatures permits us to do so Please also visit the Farm and join us for our Thursday Night Buffet, Sunday Brunch, or simply for lunch or dinner to experience some new additions to our menus.

Do you have a comment, praise or suggestion? We want to hear from you! Please feel free to send me an email at f eder@greensborocc org and I will make sure to get back with you�

Yours truly,

Welcome, Coach Tyler! About the Blue Dolphins Swim Team

Hello! My name is Tyler Coker and I will be the Head Coach for the GCC Blue Dolphins Swim Team. I am a graduate of Page High School and a current student at UNC. I swam for the Blue Dolphins for 12 seasons, was a Junior Coach for two seasons, and an Assistant Coach for three seasons Over the years, the GCC Swim Team has provided me with endless amounts of joy, friendships and memories I look forward to seeing our current Blue Dolphins swimmers have the same experiences I had - a fun, challenging and sportsmanship-anchored environment�

I can’t wait to see old faces and meet new as we begin the 2023 season� Please feel free to reach out to me at coachtylercoker@ gmail.com regarding Swim Team questions.

GO BLUE DOLPHINS!

Summer is approaching and soon enough, the Blue Dolphins Swim Team season will begin! Our Blue Dolphins swim team is a competitive swim program open to members 5 to 18 years of age, from beginner swimmers to very competitive swimmers. The Blue Dolphins make up one of 23 swim teams in the Greensboro Community Swim Association (CSA). Our swimmers compete in six age groups, male and female, and race in five dual meets beginning at the end of May and culminating with the annual City Meet Swimming Championship July 6th-8th at the Greensboro Aquatic Center (GAC). Our team is all about creating friendships and lifelong memories with “Big Splashes” such as our end-of-season banquet, home meet after parties, friendly intra-team competitions and more. We welcome all eligible GCC children to join our team for a memorable season of competitive swimming as we set our goals and race to win!

Blue Dolphins Pre-Season Swim Clinics

Greensboro Aquatics Center (GAC)

These clinics are available to current Blue Dolphins swimmers as well as potential “new” swimmers who may want to try out for the team� Pre-season clinics are a great opportunity for swimmers to interact with some of the swim team coaches as well as practice strokes needed throughout the season. Kick the season off early with a little practice and team unity!

Member Spotlight: Jane Nickles

Jane Nickles has been training with Zack and Jamie since the summer. We asked her a few questions to get her perspective on different aspects of staying healthy and fit.

Q A Q A

A lot of people struggle with staying consistent, so what are some tips you would share that have helped you stick to a routine?

Signing up for personal training creates that consistency, because you set training sessions and then you don’t want to miss those sessions!

How has your approach, or mentality, to working out shifted over the years, if at all?

My approach has not changed over the years, but I enjoy a variety of exercises including Personal Training, running, yoga, aerobic dance, and pickleball. The variety of exercises always keeps me interested.

Q A

When you are out of town or traveling, how do you like to stay active?

When I’m on vacation, I enjoy exploring the area, and walking and biking for exercise.
