Local ALTA team captures city championship
It’s never too hot for tennis, as the
Chattahoochee River Club’s C-6 Mixed Doubles
team proved last Saturday.
Playing in the Atlanta Lawn Tennis
Association's playoffs, the team captured the City
Championship at the Dekalb Tennis Center.
It was an absolutely glorious day for tennis,
with blue skies and moderate temperatures, adding
to the setting.
Chattahoochee River Club beat another Forsyth
team Saddlebrook —for the championship.
Chattahoochee River Club is a new growing
community located off Hwy. 20’s intersection with
the river. And the community features its fair share
of interest in tennis, given the Chattahoochee
River Club’s many different teams. And the resi
dents’ interest was even more evident as a number
made the trip to Dekalb to cheer on the local team.
The championship team was very large, with
34 players. The captain was Cathy Gonzales and
the co-captain was Ron Gonzales. The team was
coached by Tennis Pros of Atlanta.
The 34 team members each got a city champi
on bag-tag and a city champion plate, marking the
final accomplishment of a squad that worked its
way from a division title all the way through the
playoffs. Players pictured in the photograph
include John Sadrack, Kim Suplee, Monica
Hampson, Ray Suplee, Lisa Cribbs, Doug
Lofgren, Roland Montalbo, Lynne Montalbo, John
Wikle, Hal Lowe, Bob Cribbs and Deena Wilson.

Teeing it
up at the
Hampton
The PGA Championship
isn't the only tourney
in town this weekend
By Aaron Lorenzo
Sports Editor
Sitting on a veranda overlooking
the first tee box, Sal Arena watches
as waves of golfers head off in their
carts, ready for a 1:15 p.m. shotgun
start Friday at the Hampton Golf
Village.
In town for the PGA
Championship at the Atlanta
Athletic Club, Arena was also
spending time in Forsyth County for
the Golf Course Builders
Association of America’s tourna
ment. The national organization,
which is made up of contractors and
builders in the golf course industry,
holds one of its two annual gather
ings at the same time as the PGA
Championship.
“We get to know new contractors
and new suppliers,” says Arena,
whose son Andy runs the family
business, Florida Superior Sand.
“You get to see so many people ip
two or three days. But it’s also a
get-away.”
The tournament at Hampton was
part of the association’s events,
which also included seminars, class
es and other networking opportuni
ties, not to mention access to the
PGA Championship. And for the
staff at Hampton, it provided a
chance to show off the area’s newest
course, which opened just over a
year ago.
“[This course] is something
we’re real proud of,” says Bill
Kubly, the CEO of Landscapes
Unlimited, the company that built
and owns Hampton. “We hope tha|
everyone here sees that we’ve built 3
course with some real playable cor>;
ditions. And we want to have a good
time.” ♦’
A field of 120 association meni 4
bers had signed up to play the dailjJ
fee course, a par-71 layout
plays to 6,900 yards from the bacl(
tees. Rolling hills meander through
fairways, typical of most courses iri
the Atlanta area.
Another 60-plus members werd
playing at the same tie at Laurel
Springs Golf Club.
“In this industry, we’re a real
close knit bunch of guys,” Kubljl
added. “We compete against each
other everyday, but we’re having fun
at something like this. Then tomor-j
row we’ll be back out there
battle again. There’s just something
about the golf industry it’s just A
great group of folks.”
Just ask Arena, who was sitting
out the round of golf while his soil
played instead. After all, he didn’t
have a bad view at all.
