We were very sorry to learn about the death of George Archer. As the 1969 winner, George attended the Champions dinner and he will sadly be missed. At this time, our thoughts are with the Archer family.

If you feel compelled to resign, we will certainly understand. I hope, however, you will continue to respect the rights of the rest of the membership.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Charlie Yates. Charlie was an outstanding amateur golfer and a member who was linked to Bobby Jones and club's history, attending every Masters through 2003. He will be greatly missed.
