Thanks for All the Help!
First, a big thanks to the Greenbrier for hosting the 18th National Hickory Championship. Golf Manager Burt Baine has been extremely helpful in the planning for this event and Doug Fox has put in long hours and done a fantastic job of being our venue manager. Hats off to both of them as well as Michael, Rob, Joey and Steven for their assistance and being great grillmasters.
The Greenbrier also hosted the Thursday evening reception with the lasagna supper, and Burt, THANKS for bringing over Lee Trevino.
Next, another big thanks to American Beer Company for their generosity in providing the voluminous supply of really delicious Yuengling products. The unexpectedly hot days only made those beverages taste all the better. Thank you Shirley and Jennifer Runyon. Get your games ready, you’re playing next year!
