I am writing this on my last official day here at Traditions of Braselton, although it will be over a month from now that you receive this publication, I still wanted to let you know what a pleasure it has been serving as your Community Manager.
Your Community is in great hands with the new Manager, Michael Sortor, and CMA is one of the best companies to work with in Atlanta! I look forward to seeing you all at Shelia Fest in October!

Hospitality Committee
Dear neighbors, if you have had a loss in your immediate family, or you become aware of another Traditions of Braselton family who has had a loss in their immediate family, please let us know. We are dedicated to offering kindness and care when families need it the most. We will send a card offering our condolences to show our neighborhood support during this difficult time. Additionally, if you would like to send a meal to the family, we are happy to help you set up a meal train.
Please reach out to the committee to set up a consultation. Our service is provided to Traditions of Braselton residents only. We encourage you to reach out and contact us at: comfortandcare@traditionsofbraselton.org
Thanks!

Ladies’ Golf Group
Currently, the ladies have standing tee times Monday at 11 a.m. and Tuesday-Friday at 9:20 a.m. Call the pro shop 48 hours in advance to reserve your spot. You can make reservations for up to two weeks at a time. There may not be openings for those without reservations. Do not worry about handicaps since the skill levels vary widely. These women golf for fun. For more information, please contact Pam Poppe at poppepampaul@gmail.com or 706-654-4776.
Senior Men’s Golf Group
The senior men gather to play an organized format of stroke play on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You never know who you will get paired with on these days, so it is a great opportunity to meet your fellow neighbors and make new friends.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, it is just playing with whomever you like (assuming they want to play with you too). Our block of tee times starts at 11 a.m. on Monday and 9:30 a.m. Tuesday-Friday. Call the pro shop 48 hours in advance to reserve your spot. There may not be openings for those without reservations. Play as often or as little as you like; just show up at least 15 minutes before the first tee time. This is a social group with members of varying skill levels. For more information, contact Steve Morrell at shmorrell44@gmail.com, 706-654-6034 (home), or 770-861-6102 (cell).
