City-owned Gainesville golf course to add assistant pro as business ticks up
0518golf3
Chattahoochee Golf Club pro shop assistant Ed Pallo works late Wednesday afternoon as golfers make their way through the shop to the course. With business on the rise, the Gainesville-owned golf course is about to add an assistant pro to assist pro Rodger Hogan, who has been in charge of the Chattahoochee Golf Club for eight years.
After many years operating out of the rough, business at the city-owned Chattahoochee Golf Club is picking up and back on the fairway. Golfers teed off for 27,125 rounds in 2016 at the lush 18-hole course, and play this year at the Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed layout is ahead of last year’s pace by 425 rounds. The upward trajectory in rounds played over the past few years is welcome news for Rodger Hogan, a veteran PGA pro who’s been in charge of the Chattahoochee Golf Club for the past eight years.
