A GOLF COURSE YOU’LL LOVE!!!
If your dream is to win a golf tournament . . . First place all by yourself . . . The place to do it is Grand Reserve Golf Club located to your left on a short drive up route one in Bunnell.


Why? Because for six years as an in and outer, I have never seen the green constantly shine in beauty like Grand Reserve does, this golf course is a pretty picture to behold and the staff takes the honor.


Truthfully, I have never figured out how this serving team does it but they do, getting it done day after day, week after week and not a flaw on a blade of grass.

The real story, however, is Mike Pullen, an original owner but now hoping the bank holder will open things up and he’ll be running the show as he does with ownership of the popular St. Augustine golf course and did for years and years at Grand Reserve. The membership had him on a roll to return. They had spread the word that Pullen was back, that the deal with the bank was over and done.

Smiles and happiness were seen everywhere. Members couldn’t wait to tell me and others that Pullen was again running the show. The happy message could be seen in the Wednesday men’s league and in every corner where golf balls were struck including the popular women’s leagues.

Sadly, it was not true. He had his shoes on the wall but the bank still had difficult decisions to make with not just the golf course but the housing surrounding the golf course and other arrangements that must be dealt with correctly.

Yes, Mike Pullen is working with the bank while hoping that both sides can come up with the numbers that will have this very popular leader back where he belongs.
The happiness on a Pullen return was displayed by player after player until they learned erroneously that Mike Pullen was back as owner of Grand Reserve Golf Club. That was enough to tell me that this Alabama grad is the right choice as the owner and the quicker the better.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you will live all the days of your life.
And please don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
So, keep swinging. If it’s a double bogey today, go for the one over par tomorrow. That done, go for the par itself.
Remember, the world is yours. That terrific Grand Reserve that so many love, will make it so.
