The Golf Staff would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We have had a successful year due to your support of the golf operation. The 2011 Tournament Schedule will be available in early February for your review. Please contact the Golf Shop if you are interested in Cross Creek Plantation hosting an event this coming year.

The Golf and Grille Christmas Party for all Cross Creek members will be Thursday, December 9^th from 6:00pm to 8:00m. The Golf Shop sale associated with this event will start at 8:30am on Thursday morning. Please stop by to shop for special discounts on merchandise as well as join your friends and meet new friends during the social that evening. There is no charge for the light hors douevres and a cash bar will be available.

The Golf Staff will be losing a valuable team member in December. Taylor Hoard has accepted a position with Grandfather Golf and Country Club in Linville, North Carolina. Taylor has been an employee for three and one half years and during his tenure he has been a great asset to the Golf Staff. His last day at Cross Creek will be December 22^nd and we hope each member will show their appreciation for his hard work and dedication before his departure.

Happy Holidays!!

Mark Ernst, PGA
