Chef Oliver

 Just heard that Chef Oliver Peters is leaving MGCC.

I was on the board when Chef Oliver was hired. The three people who had the most influence in the hiring were ( as I recall) George Keelty - house chair, President of MGCC at the time Dave Campion and Dr. Madho Sharma.

Being a chef at a country club with its limited membership might be the toughest job, try making everyone happy nearly impossible.God knows he tried.
 
Oliver ran events with a passion 

Oktoberfest , MGCC Invitational, One Day Member Guests, Surf and Turfs, Thanksgiving dinners, Holiday Events ( Halloween a family favorite), Year end brunches,  and parties - Oliver always present. Most memorable has to be the MGCC Centennial - Packed house, using the total facility (Pool area for cocktails, transition to dinning area, keeping everything moving what a great job. 

A job too demanding - food too hot, too cold. Not seasoned correctly. hiring staff, training and discipline doing the total package. 

I truly wish you the best in the future and hopefully a long and prosperous life. 

Thank you for the memories.
