GCM Welcomes New Assistant

It is my pleasure to introduce Mr. Colton Jones (Right). He is replacing Drew Hensley, 2^nd Assistant, who left our management team to join Quail Hollow earlier this summer. Colton received his Bachelor of Science in Plant and Soil Science and Minor in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee-Martin.

Colton joins us most recently from working at Pinehurst Resort #2 where he experienced historic back to back U.S. Opens and the putting green conversion from bentgrass to ultradwarf bermudagrass. Colton has previously worked at Charlotte Country Club, Callawassie Island in Hilton Head and volunteered at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. He has also interned with the USGA Agronomic Turf Advisory Service under Chris Hartwiger and Patrick O’Brien.

We are happy to have Colton join our team. When you see Colton on the course please welcome him to The Peninsula Club.
