President’s Message
David Dew, CCM, CCE
I would like to introduce and welcome our new golf course superintendent, Mike Smith. Some of you may have already met Mike, as he has already been here in Lake Toxaway throughout our aerification process and croquet tournament. He says that he is looking forward to meeting everyone and having his agronomic and management experience make an immediate impact on Lake Toxaway Country Club. Mike certainly knows what tournament conditions mean, and I feel confident that his expertise will benefit our course and our club.
Mike has worked in the golf course maintenance industry for 17 years, with 12 of those years as a head superintendent. His experience includes courses in middle Tennessee, north Georgia, and north Alabama, as well as volunteer work at the 2007 U.S. Open and 2008-2010 and 2013 Masters tournaments. Mike spent four years as the assistant superintendent and five more years as the golf course superintendent at The Farm Golf Club in Rocky Face, GA, where they hosted an Annual Intercollegiate Golf Championship and the 2005 United States Senior Amateur Championship. Most recently he worked as the superintendent at Huntsville Country Club in Huntsville, AL. “I am so excited to be a part of the Lake Toxaway family!” Mike said. “I can’t thank the club enough for this tremendous opportunity. I am looking forward to working with Lou and the entire staff in our effort to make Lake Toxaway Country Club the best that it can be.” Mike’s family is also excited to be coming to Lake Toxaway. He brings his wife of 23 years, Penny, and their 12-year-old son, Zachary.

I am happy to have Mike join the Lake Toxaway team, and I know that all of you will give him a warm welcome.
