Where good news shines

Cherry Hills Country Club selected PGA club professional Bryan Nicholson to become just the eighth head pro in the club’s 102-year history.

Nicholson will oversee golf operations, including tournaments, events and outings, membership programming, instruction and merchandising.

Nicholson comes to Cherry Hills directly from Sahalee Country Club near Seattle, where he was the PGA of America director of golf.

“I am thrilled for this opportunity to be a small part of the historic lore of Cherry Hills,” said Nicholson in a press release. “With its century-long legacy of hosting major championships, incredible golf course, clubhouse, and esteemed, welcoming membership, Cherry Hills is one of the finest clubs in America. I look forward to meeting all the members, working closely with the staff, and continuing the traditions that have made this club uniquely special among the top historic clubs in the country.”
