Jean McAfee

McAfee is a golf industry veteran, having worked for Izod Club Golf Apparel for 14 years. McAfee’s first day on the job was Aug. 29.

“When I walk out of the clubhouse it’s like stepping into our own little heaven – not haven, but heaven. The course is absolutely gorgeous,” McAfee says. “And everybody has been fabulous and welcomed me with open arms.”

McAfee’s duties will include increasing the membership base, working with existing members on events and activities, and marketing National Golf Club as a whole. She plans to get members more involved in club activities and create more children-oriented events inside the private, gated community.

McAfee takes over for Mary Smithson, who held the position for almost three years. “Everything is headed in the right direction and I plan to keep things on course,” McAfee says. “I will definitely be spreading the word about National.”
