NEWS NEWS FROM FROM THE THE
GOLF GROUPS
COUPLES GOLF
This group has three consecutive tee times every Sunday morning. In Spring, Summer and Fall, they begin play at 9:30 AM. More tee times can be added depending on how many couples wish to play. Please contact Lynn Kolb at 706-824-0247 or galynn20@yahoo.com for more information. Every Tuesday, Lynn sends a text to interested parties asking for a response by Saturday morning. All are welcome to join in and they look forward to adding more couples as the weather warms up. *Couples on Sunday – Noon during winter.
LADIES’ GOLF GROUP
Currently, the ladies have standing tee times Monday through Friday in the morning. If you are interested in joining the Ladies Golf Group (even occasionally), please email Pam Poppe at poppepampaul@gmail.com. Each Friday, Pam sends an email to the group asking which days you are interested in golfi ng during the coming week. She only asks for a 48-hour notice so she can add or cancel tee times. Do not worry about handicaps since the skill levels vary widely. These women golf for fun!
SENIOR MEN’S GOLF GROUP
The senior men gather to play an organized format of stroke play on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You never know who you will get paired with on these days, so it’s a great opportunity to meet your fellow neighbors and make new friends. On Thursdays, it’s just pair-up and play with whomever you like (assuming they
want to play with you too). The course is closed on Tuesdays. Currently, our block of tee times starts at 9:30 AM. You can play as often or as little as you like; just show up at least 15 minutes before the fi rst tee time. This is a social group with members of varying skill levels. Once the virus is behind us and the expected updates are made to the restaurant, every spring and fall the men will again gather with their signifi cant others at the club for a fun evening of dinner and fellowship. Currently with the virus, we will continue to play as we are able. With respect to social distancing, there will be a one per person per cart. To ease the crunch for cart that this is causing, the Club has waived the rule against driving your persona; cart as long as it does not have studded tires or is a high rider. For more information, contact Steve Morrell at shmorrell44@gmail.com or at 1-706-654-6034 (h) or at 770-861-610 (c).
MEN’S GROUP (MGA)
Come out and meet your neighbors in a fun and welcoming group. The TOB men have weekly organized games on Wednesdays at 1:00 PM and Saturdays/Sundays starting at 8:00 AM. We also sponsor diverse and fun monthly tournaments throughout the year. The MGA has neighbors of all skill levels and ages.

Membership Information
CREATING YOUR CLUB
Traditions Golf and Country Club is becoming the club the community has always desired – beginning with a multi-million dollar renovation to include improvements to the course, facilities, and practice area. There’s never been a better time to join!
THE COURSE
Already widely known as the best golf layout in the area, and the best is only getting better. The first of several course improvements will include removing our current bunkers and replacing them with the Capillary Concrete Bunker System. A concentrated effort to create better air flow for our bent grass greens will provide better putting conditions throughout the year. Additionally, each hole will be addressed to create a more enjoyable round while maintaining the original layout.
THE MEMBER FACILITIES AND RESTAURANT
The facility improvements will contain a completely new members facility and restaurant run by the area’s best, Jack Ansley. The new restaurant, Twenty7, will have a 200-seat capacity, a full bar, a beautiful outdoor area which overlooks a nine-hole putting course. The lighted putting course and patio will provide an inviting atmosphere that you and your fellow members will want to be a part of! The creation of a members-only facility will provide spacious areas to mingle with other members, grab a delicious meal, or just relax and enjoy your club.
THE PRACTICE FACILITY
The driving range upgrade will provide better range balls, aiming greens, targets, and the ability to receive insightful instruction. The addition of a dedicated short game area will give you all the tools needed to improve your game from 50 yards and in to lower your handicap.
INVALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS
We offer far more than just golf! While many were drawn here by the course, the discovery of friendship and camaraderie quickly redefined our greatest asset as that of the membership itself. Member social activities include but are not limited to: End of Month Theme Party, Twilight Golf, Golf Leagues, cookouts on the patio, and Holiday Parties. The restaurant will offer breakfast on the weekends, with lunch and dinner daily. There will be the always popular Happy Hour with live entertainment and much, much more! All making Traditions the place you want to call home.
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR GOLFING AND SOCIAL FUTURE! Contact us via e-mail at memberships@traditionsgcc.com or give us a call at (706) 363-9963. We will answer your questions and get you started with the enrollment process.
