JASONSEEHAFER,PNCC GENERALMANAGER

We were truly honored to host the McConnel Golf Symposium, held at Porters Neck from January 30thFebruary 1st The past 5 years Sedgefield CC hosted this special event and this year we were chosen to be able to welcome our owners, John and Dr Rebekah McConnell, along with over 110 managers from our 15 other clubs

As we always do, we rolled out the red carpet and showed our colleagues what makes Porters Neck special They were all blown away by the experience and fun atmosphere of our club Our goal was to make them feel like a member for a few days and we certainly did with night golf on the short-course, an oyster roast, music on the patio, fire pits, and amazing food from our culinary team We added several “WOW’ moments including the MCCONNELL GOLF sign and PAWS4PEOPLE bringing their new litter of puppies

Special thanks to Porters Neck members, Bob and Noreen Buss! Their support and dedication is incredibly instrumental in making "Operation Semper Gratus" happen!

Robert and our golf team were recognized for the highest retail % growth vs previous year Mandy was 2nd in membership sales with 121 membership sales and a net gain of 71
