PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Members,
Allow me to open my letter with heartfelt appreciation for allowing our club to host the prestigious Regions Tradition Golf Tournament. I was honored to serve as your representative. I am proud to share that the tournament was a great success for our community, our club, and most of all numerous Alabama charities. This success is due in large part to your sacrifice and commitment to excellence. The clubhouse and grounds accommodated record crowds. We provided a meticulously groomed course for the players. Our staff provided superior service to our guests, and all our members displayed generous hospitality. Viewers from across the country were able to see Greystone via the Golf Channel’s televised coverage. The course and the clubhouse were as impressive on television as they are in person.
A great benefit of our drive to excellence, is increased interest in memberships. I am very pleased to report we have reached a major milestone of over 800 members. We are well on our way in our campaign to “reach 1,000”. I encourage everyone to push forward in our efforts to introduce friends, neighbors, and business associates to the Greystone experience. Let’s celebrate Greystone’s 25th anniversary by giving away a beautiful Mercedes from our partner, Mercedes Benz of Birmingham.
As part of our commitment to excellence, we continually look for ways to enhance value and services for our members. Mr. Porter has launched several new member services that I hope you will utilize and enjoy. Again, thank you for allowing me to serve as your President during this exciting time. I hope to see you this summer on campus.
Sincerely, Terry Smith TerrySmith@edgarsbakery.com (205)910-3917

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE Dear Members,
We are right in the middle of the hot Alabama summer! Many of you are off to the beach or the lake, but we are ready for you when you want to use the Club. The staff continues to focus on raising our standards of service for your daily use and push the creativity and quality for special events. We recently launched several new Member Services for the membership. I hope you will be able to enjoy the convenience. They include: haircuts for gentlemen, tailoring, wine by the case sales, car wash, private shopping experience and golf club trade in to name a few. We will be adding pizza delivery and transportation in the near future. I hope you are able to take advantage of these services. Click here for brochure.
I’d like to share a few updates on items in the Food and Beverage department: Cellar 91 will be open on Tuesdays 5-9pm only. Our signature flat bread pizzas will be served in addition to full bar service. Pizzas will also be available for take out. We will remain open Wednesday-Sunday for lunch and dinner. Just after July 4th we will be unveiling a new lunch menu at both clubhouses and empower each sous chef to create their own lunch specials. We are repairing the outdoor smoker/grill at Legacy and will soon be offering a special item on Saturdays at the turn. The staff is working on planting an herb garden and we have begun investigation on creating our own bee hives for house made honey, as well as inventorying how many black, red and sugar maples are on course property to make our own maple syrup. Bob Ford will be working with Mark Blackburn to utilize his swing technology to work on baseball swing mechanics. Bob is an accomplished amateur player and his brother, Curt, played for the Cardinals and Phillies. He is also close with Bernard Gilkey and Jack Clark, so he will bring those gentlemen in periodically for camps. We are expanding the use of our facilities and utilizing our team talent to expand the coaching available to your young baseball players at home. The Executive Chef search is progressing nicely with several highly qualified candidates coming forward with interest. The process will take another 30-60 days with someone in place by October 1st. Our Sous Chefs are doing a fantastic job and will are making positive progress with the team approach in the meantime. We have started an Employee Roundtable consisting of at least one employee from each department made up of mid managers and key line staff. The group is chaired by Director of Administration, Mallory Bobba. The focus is to make Greystone the best place to work possible. They have sub- committees working on employee events, cross training, safety, incentives, birthday/condolence program, and new employee orientation. They are already making a huge impact and hearing from their co-workers about improving our culture. Mallory meets with me following each monthly meeting so we can take action.
Thank you for your continued support with all the exciting changes we aremaking. The staff is extremely enthusiastic and dedicated to making you proud.
I hope to see you around campus or at Happy Hour with Dave! Best regards, Dave
David Porter, CCM General Manager dporter@greystonecc.com (205) 986-5148
GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE
Dear Members, We were very pleased with the conditioning of the Founders Course for our first Regions Tradition! The tournament proved to be a great learning experience for myself and my staff. We will utilize the things that we learned to make the course even better for next years’ tournament as well as for everyday play. The Founders Course will be closed July 5 – July 21 for the aerification of greens, tees, fairways, and roughs. Green and tee aerification will be comparable to the past several years. Fairway aerification will be ramped up this year, with an increase in the amount of sand topdressing to nearly double what we applied last year. This will help us to more rapidly improve the health and playability of the fairways. With the addition of some new aerifiers this spring, we are now equipped to aerify roughs and will be doing so during the closed period as well.
We are now in the summer stress period for the bentgrass greens at the Legacy Course. To help combat the stress, the greens fans are on and the staff is out wilt watching greens on a daily basis. This will continue until fall greens aerification on September 6. I hope that you enjoy your time on our two wonderful courses this summer! Jason Jason Miller Director of Golf Course Operations jmiller@greystonecc.com (205) 980-5215 MEMBERSHIP NEWS Dear Members,
Thanks to the Members who have brought all the families to the Club this summer. Have you seen all the new faces?! Exciting times at Greystone and so grateful to be a part of a club that is growing! Greystone truly is a special place, that’s for sure! For the first time in our Club’s history we have hit 801 Members! That means only 199 Memberships remain to reach our capacity of 1000 Members. With a full Membership Roster comes a waitlist and with a waitlist comes greater exclusivity and the money to do a lot of great things around the Club.
Hope you will join us! Ashley Ashley Fuentes, CMP Membership Marketing Director afuentes@greystonecc.com (205) 986-5146

As always we are having a fantastic time at the pools this year. We had a few setbacks with the unexpected departure of our new Aquatics Director, Emily, but that fortunately brought us to having two of our veteran guards being promoted to management. Evan Russell and Hannah Kate Thompson have been doing a wonderful job of managing the staff and facilities and we appreciate them stepping up to the task. The Mushroom Pool’s filtration system received a new pump and our Family Pool’s diving board was resurfaced for better traction. We hope you have enjoyed all the new landscaping as well.
