It’s hard to believe the tall man with a spring in his step has been working at Charlotte Country Club for 50 years. In fact, his history with the club goes back even further. Mack Ferguson worked as a caddie when he was 14 and 15 while in high school. He left Charlotte to serve in the Army for several years and then returned to his home town.

Besides summer employment and the Army, Mack’s only other employer has been CCC. He has seen a lot in his 50(+) years - generations of families, dramatic facility changes…he remembers the days before golf carts. Mack has worked in several areas of the Club over his years. He loves working with the golf operations and still enjoys his job.

Mack has been married for 37 years to his wife Janie. They have two daughters, Wanda and Tonya, and two granddaughters.

Mack said he enjoys working and staying busy, both at work and home. He has a routine of waking early, but not going to bed too early. He recalls an old physics teacher saying, "sleep is a habit". Mack loves professional football and perpetually roots for the underdog. And for those that know Mack, this probably wouldn’t surprise them.

In recognition and appreciation of Mack Ferguson’s incredible service to Charlotte CC, the Board of Governors have arranged for Mack and his wife Janie to enjoy a wonderful week long trip.

Many thanks to Damon DiOrio, CCM, for providing this information.
