I like to keep abreast of what's going on, even if it's just to reassure myself that we haven't blown ourselves up yet. The West Course, designed by Chen King Shih, opened in 1994. The East Course was designed by Lee Trevino and opened in 1997. The club presently serves more than 5,000 players per month. To handle this demand, VGCC has 10 full-time golf operations staff, three caddie masters and 368 caddies.
Lunch is anytime a free moment appears, usually after the noontime rush.
For the staff and myself, speed-eating has been developed into an art form. But honestly, I'd kill for a pizza. Fortunately, the staff is well trained and more often than not we pull it off without a hitch. Unless, of course, it rains and then all bets are off. This crowd is a bit finicky, so keeping them happy is a major challenge, but we seem to be doing something right because complaints are seldom heard.
