From Small Beginning, Perry Country Club Has Grown to 181 Active Member Families
Golf Course and
Clubhouse Known
Over Middle Ga.
BY LAURIE ANDERSON
This month marks the 9th an
niversary’ of the planning and for
mation of the Perry Country Club.
In June of 1951, a group of men
envisioned the growth of Perry,
recognizing the need of their fel
low citizens for more recreational
facilities. The first incorporators
meeting was held on June 8, 1951.
The 12 original incorporators
were:
Mayo Davis, C. Pi Gray, E. P.
Staples, Wilson Moody, Marion
Brown. G. F. Nunn, Yates Green,
Stewart Richardson, D. J. Jones,
H. E. Weems Jr., L. Gardner Wat
son and Dan L. Grant.
The swimming pool, built by
Harry Griggs, was opened in Au
gust, 1951, and plans were in pro
cess for a golf course. The first
club officers were Mayo Davis,
president; Wilson Moody, vice
president; and Dudley Jones, se
cretary-treasurer.
Golf Course Opened in ’52
The 9 hole golf course was open
ed Labor Day of 1952, a bath
house for the swimming pool was
built and 65 Perryans were on the
active member list. Dudley Jones,
Hubert Aultman and Wilson
Moody served as officers.
The year 1953 proved to be an
other step forward as capital stook
of the Perry Country Club was in
creased from $15,000 to $25,000.
The size of the bath house was in
creased for a pro shop and a lock
er room. Golf Pro Bo Dempsey of
Atlanta was hired. Officers for
this year were Hubert Aultman,
Marion Brown and Stanley Smith.
Sid Clarke of Montezuma was
employed by the Country Club in
1954 for supervising the golf
greens. Jim Lee, Kenson Vance
and Frank Bonner took charge of
the pro shop. Marion Brown, Louis
Harper and H. E. Smith officiated
that year, and under their direc
tion plans were made for con
structing a residence for the golf
pro.
House Built for Pro
In 1955, Sid and Sara Clarke
moved into the club’s new house
built for the pro. Thus began “La
dies’ Year” at the Perry Country
Club, as Mr. Clarke began golf
ing classes for the women. The
ladies began invading the golf
course which had previously been
the men’s domain, and the race
was on. These golfing classes laid
the foundation for the Ladies Golf
Association and spring tourna
ments which were to start a few
years later.
Louis Harper, E. P. Staples and
H. E. Smith were the elective of
ficers for the year of 1955.
In 1956, under the direction of
officers G. F. Nunn, Hugh Lawson
and H. E. Smith, a new dam was
built on the country club property
and plans for a lake were begun.
A well was also dug for supple
mental water supply.
Additional work to improve the
golf course continued in 1957, and
a pump and pipe were installed
in the well. Hugh Lawson, Cooper
Etheridge and Jack Miller were
the executive officers for this
year. i
Clubhouse Plans Begun
In spite of the vast growth of 1
membership and progress made in
the Perry Country Club in 1958, ;
the officers and directors saw that
improvement could still be made.
Under the leadership of Ralph Ta
bor, T. R. Tollcson and Jack Mil
ler, plans began for a new club
house. Bill Coby of Waycross be
came the new golf pro. Mr. Coby
also introduced square dancing

By 1959, capital stock was in
creased to $35,000 and a new club
house was built and opened.
The beautiful building, designed

Big picture windows and a brick
floor are characteristics of the
