Aurora, Colo. – Tony Principato was appointed director of golf at the new Jay Morrish-designed Blackstone Country Club, opening in the spring of 2007.
Principato has been a part of the Western Golf Properties team for five years during which time he has been integral in daily club operations and has exhibited the proven ability to balance the goals of the community and developer while building a strong membership base, fostering member programs and activities, and creating heightened member participation.
