30 years of GGC!!!
Thirty years ago today, December 1st, 1994, fellow PGA Member Chris Asbell and I were the principals in a small group that purchased North Fulton Golf Center, which was renamed Georgia Golf Center. Our goal was to provide the finest golf instruction, club fitting and practice facility in our area. Three decades later that is still the goal.
When we purchased the range the trees down the left side were about four feet high and we could see the cows in the neighboring field. The large house to our right was a horse farm. Both the Kroger and the McDonalds had yet to be built. And Rucker Road ended at a vacant lot just short of Highway 9. Yes, it was THAT long ago!
It has not always been easy, but over the years we have done our best to make improvements in the facility to enhance the experience for our patrons. This year's major upgrade was the new and enlarged putting green. Plans are in the works for some more upgrades next year.
Thank you to all of our friends and customers who have been part of this journey. We sincerely appreciate the loyalty and friendship so many of you have shown us over the years.
And thank you as well, to our many employees. It's impossible to name all of them. But I think it's appropriate to mention the first two, Bill Beers and George Lidell. And of course, Wanda Thomas and Dick Grady. And definitely Jake D'Ambrosca, who worked for us until he turned 93! We wouldn't have made it through the early years without their dedication.
Happy Holidays to all, and Best Wishes for a great 2025,
