Mike Campbell

submitted by Eric Pfeifer his week, Mike Campbell, senior environment specialist from Lee TCounty, spoke to us about the artificial offshore reef system. Among his many duties on the water, diving the reefs is his favorite. Campbell’s available data shows that reefs were first placed in the local waters starting in the 1960s. Lee County took over the program in the 1980s, but they only receive money for the reef program from grants and donations. Campbell currently maintains 20 artificial reefs with over 100 deployments of structure. The reefs are comprised of concrete vessels, steel vessels, heavy gauge steel, concrete rubble, limestone rubble, rock, or structures specifically designed for reefs. Poseidon’s Garden is one such example of concrete blocks screwed together in the shape of a pyramid. Pegasus is an example of an old steel tugboat. Apparently, Kiwanians Billy Kirkland and Tom Louwers attempted to donate their own vessels to the reef system. As they tiptoed out of the house to go fishing one morning, they forgot their bagged lunches and tide charts their wives left out for them.

Founded in 1898 and the home club of Robert Tyre (Bobby) Jones Jr., the Atlanta Athletic Club was bustling all week with professional golfers, their families, media, spectators, and of course – members of the Atlanta Athletic Club. “Executive Chef Eric Karrell called and invited Derek and me to be guest chefs for the PGA Championship and we were honored. We served about 7,000 meals per day – working as an amazing team. Amid the hectic work schedule we had the opportunity to say hello to some of the top-ranked golfers. It was a very exciting experience,” stated Executive Chef Brown. Sous Chef Bryner added, “This was my first time viewing a major golf tournament and my first time as a chef at a major golf tournament. We were able to follow Rory McIlroy’s group and watched him hit it out of the rough on #12. It was a great week – well, maybe not for McIlroy.” Executive Chef Mark Brown and Sous Chef Derek Bryner Find out more about The Sanctuary Golf Club by going to www.sanctuarygc. net or contacting Sheryl Tatum, director of membership and marketing at472- 6445.
