Tiki Hut Signs… What is the History?

In 1981, there were 18 holes at the Marina Golf Club, and were designed by Ron Garl. These courses were originally called the East and West Courses, and are now known as Osprey and Pelican. The additional nine, designed by Mark McCumber, and Heron, were built in 1988.

The course, now having 27 holes, needed new tee markers to reflect the new names of the courses. Bill and Corky Anderson, early Burnt Store Marina residents, and parents of Chris Hornak, purchased tee hole sign #7, which is now Pelican 7, and #10, now Osprey 1. Through the years these tee signs were hung outside at their unit in the Commodore Club. Chris and Bob Hornak now live in this unit, and recently did some remodeling. They thought the signs deserved to be back at the golf club.

These tee box signs, donated by Chris and Bob Hornak, are home once again in the Tiki at Burnt Store Marina CC. Thank you, Bob and Chris Hornak, for your thoughtfulness in donating the signs to the community. They are back home, and their history will be shared through the years ahead.
