re: Golf around Atlanta area

The Capital City course at Crabapple is next to Atlanta National, it's not Settindown, that one is still around off Cox Rd

You're correct; Ansley GC bought Settindown Creek, not Capital City Club. Got the downtown 9 hole private clubs confused.

Settindown Creek is a tough course. It's a sleeper in that area, not many know about it. I think one course was the Trophy Club of Alpharetta and another one was off Densmore, can't remember the name. I past my PAT at trophy club way back in 1993. I too was a PGA pro at St Ives, but got out of the business in 1999

We've probably met then. I was an assistant at Rivermont from '95-'99. Passed my PAT down in Savannah at what is now Savannah Country Club (used to be the Wilmington Island Sheraton Resort). The first pro at Settindown was Craig Hartle; he was the pro at the Sheraton Resort in Savannah before he left to go to Settindown. I'd known him for years and it's why I picked there for sectional qualifying. I've played the Trophy Club at Alpharetta; as a matter of fact, I was playing there the day Payne Stewart died and one of the pros there left in tears because he had known Payne for years and was understandably distraught.
