Announcements

Welcome Robert & Kathy Mohl

Robert and Kathy Mohl recently moved to Austin Walk III and are excited to be here. I first met them a few years ago when they were spending most of their time in Naples Florida where Robert served as Instructor in Florida Master Naturalist Program in the western Everglades and Kathy spent her time playing bridge with girlfriends. Kathy and Robert spent the family years in Ohio where Robert practiced medicine as a gastroenterologist. During football season they spend their Saturdays cheering for their Ohio State Buckeyes. They have three children of which two live in Atlanta.

PHP Partners with Golf Croquet Nationals

We’re excited to announce that Peachtree Hills Place Croquet Club is a Development Partner and Sponsor of the United States Croquet Association (USCA) Golf Croquet Nationals that starts May 15th in Highlands/Cashiers, NC. Two of our Peachtree Hills Place Members, Dick Boger & Wade Coleman, along with Dallas Denny, son of member Dick Denny, will participate in the Nationals. Dick and Dallas in Championship Singles and Doubles and Wade in First Flight Doubles. Dick currently ranks 53rd and Dallas 37th in the nation for Golf Croquet.

Golf Croquet is played on a flat golf-green like surface and is often called a combination of strategy, like chess, and putting the ball as players do in golf. 

 

“The best players in the country will be at the Nationals and I am honored to participate,” Dick says. I’ll be one out of a field of 34 people in my flight.” The First Flight has an equal number of participants. Dick, Wade and Dallas, and these top players from all across the United States and Canada, will be competing for the national singles and doubles titles in Golf Croquet.

The USCA will stage the 2022 National Championships at High Hampton, the Chattooga Club, Country Club of Sapphire Valley, and Highlands Falls Country Club on May 15 – 22, 2022. Spectators can watch the play at any of the four host venues during the week of Monday the 16th through Sunday the 22nd of May. This is the 3rd time the Highlands-Cashiers region of North Carolina has hosted the Nationals, once in 2015 and another in 2018. It is considered to be the most active Golf Croquet locale in the U.S. with over 16 clubs and nearly 2,000 participants.

Peachtree Hills Place is proud to be a member club of USCA and an event sponsor of this event. The mission of the USCA is to promote the awareness, development and enjoyment of Croquet in America, providing resources and governance for the sport at all levels. Through USCA membership croquet players and approximately 300 clubs across the country support the organization to further these shared goals and promote the sport and healthy lifestyle.
