Hello from Highlands -- the Height of Happiness!  SGA Homecoming 2022 June 5, 6, 7, & 8, 2022 Old Edwards Club • The Saddle • Cullasaja Club The Inn at 200 Main • Highlands, North Carolina Thumbs Up for Winners Gus Neville, Sarah Young, Diane Bruner, and Wayne Dadetto Dry Falls photo by Pam Dadetto -- magnificent! Tom, Nancy & Gus Jane & Jim SGA Celebrates Homecoming    The Senior Golfers first held its summer event in the majestic North Carolina mountains in 1976. This year the event was in the "Height of Happiness" town of Highlands. The event began with a delicious dinner the Cullasaja Club, hosted by longtime SGA members and Highlands residents Millie and Tom Coleman. The lovely new open-air dining room overlooked the dramatic mountain course, and participants felt they were part of the beautiful natural environment. SGA newcomers Pam and Wayne Dadetto were introduced, and details were given out for the week's events.       After the three days of golf, Chapel Hill's Gus Neville was winner for the men at Highalds. "Nancy and I have had a wonderful time here, but now, I must inform everyone I will be moving on to join the LIV tour," quipped Gus jokingly, as much buzz during the week centered around the controversial news in golf. However, there was big news in SGA also, as Diane Bruner surprised her husband Jim not only by emerging as winner for the ladies, but also by re-leading him down the aisle at the delightful On the Verandah and going through special vows pronounced by preacher-for-a-day Ken Young to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.  For readers who wish to see just how stately and dignified the ceremony was, a video is attached below. Be sure to notice the Maid of Honor's Elvis headdress, a very nice touch.       Click here to see the exciting golf wedding video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbZ1QhvSXcw.       Gross Runners-up were Jane & Jim Harrenga.
