Coharie Country Club and the larger community had the pleasure of celebrating George Williams’ 103rd birthday on Saturday August 29th. Led by his longtime friend Tommy Tucker, a line of cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and golf carts rode by George’s house as he and his family sat out front. It was ironic that George’s birthday coincided with the first round of this year’s club championship given that he has won the tournament 20 times. The Club presented to George a flag signed by all of the competitors in this year’s event.  Brent Parrish successfully defended his championship, but had to fend off three young challengers barely half his age. Hearing this George would chuckle and say “get used to it Brent, I had to do that for decades.”

We officially have one more weekend at the pool this summer…Labor Day Weekend. The pool will be open at the usual hours on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (September 5-7).  There is an outside chance we may be open on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) through September, but that remains to be decided. We'll keep you posted!

I'm so glad that Covid-19 affected the pool operation only minimally and that we were able to offer "something to do" for so many. Thanks to all of you who came out to enjoy the pool…we had great attendance this summer! Thanks also to the lifeguards who made sure everything was clean and everyone was safe.  I heard many compliments about the lifeguards this year, and we all appreciate them. They have done a great job!

If you have any suggestions in reference to the pool, please let me know.  Have a great - though different - school year, and we’ll see you next summer for fun ‘n’ sun at the Coharie pool!
