David Vaughn has taken a chance on the future of the Champions Club at Hampton Creek after the club’s shaky past.
Vaughn recently accepted a position as general manager and head professional after five years as an assistant professional at Council Fire.
“I took a leap of faith,” Vaughn said. “There are chances in everything, and I wanted the opportunity.”
The Champions Club, once owned by Toby McKenzie, now is bank property and under the management of HMS Golf, which also operates Moccasin Bend, Canyon Ridge and a dozen other courses in the Southeast.
“They want to see the place flourish,” Vaughn said. “You can see with Moccasin Bend, they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to rebuild the greens, and that has vastly improved that place.
