I guess the first thing I should do is introduce myself. I’m Rocky Brooks, your new Director of Golf I’ve been fortunate to meet many of you over the last 3 weeks and would like to thank you for such a warm welcome to Wakefield I spent the bulk of my career as the Director of Golf at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, where I had the opportunity to host some of you during your travels to various McConnell Golfproperties MywifeDebbieandIhavea

26-year-old son, Dylan, who like me is an avid Carolina Hurricanes fan (Debbie won’t go to a game. She says it’s too cold! ��). I went to high school and college in nearby Wilson, NC, but moved to the Greensboro area soon after starting my career as a golf professional. After 37 years as a golf professional, I still love the game as much as I ever have and truly love seeing people enjoy golf and the camaraderie that comes with it. The game of golf has provided so much enjoyment to me and my family and we sincerely hope we can bring as much gratification to you and your family. That’s enough aboutme Let’stalkaboutwhatiscomingupinthegolfoperation

On July 4th, we will be hosting our annual Red, White, and Blue Tournament. Wecurrentlyhaveawaitlistforthiseventandwillconfirmentriesonceweget closer to the tournament. If any spots become available, we will email the membership and take as many entries as we can accommodate Also, the golf operation will be open on Monday, July 3rd with tee times beginning at 8:00 AM

Congratulations to our recent Tuscarora Invitational Champions Walt Tuttle & Spencer Tuttle and Tim Hilton & Tyler Hilton. Both teams displayed class & sportsmanship in winning and are very deserving champions

Congratulations!

In closing, I would again like to thank everyone for an incredibly warm welcome to Wakefield. As I told many of you when we met…I knew Wakefield was good, I just didn’t know it was this good! You have a great place at Wakefield and we are thrilled to be a part of it. We look forward to getting to knowyouandhopewecanmakeyourgolfmoreenjoyable
