ORENDER SERVICE AWARD
The Orender Service Award was created in honor of the man who founded Hampton Golf, Mr. MG Orender. Back in 1999, MG saw a need in the golf industry for a management company that does more than just manage but provides a level of care, skill, and service that is unmatched. Hampton Golf was therefore established, and the goals and values that started it all in 1999 are the same goals and values we have today. Please congratulate our most recent Orender Service Award recipients listed below!

WELCOMING JOSEPH BRAGG
Join us in welcoming our new Director of Food & Beverage, Joseph Bragg. Joseph brings more than a decade of hospitality experience, including leadership roles within Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond environments. Throughout his career,
he has focused on creating memorable dining experiences, developing strong teams, and delivering hospitality that feels both elevated and genuine.
A bonus for our Members? Joseph is a Certified Sommelier with a deep passion for wine education, beverage programming, and engaging Guest experiences. “Passing my Certified Sommelier exam is one of the proudest moments of my career. One of the components involves opening a bottle of champagne tableside — candidates can actually fail if the cork pops too loudly or the bottle is handled incorrectly! Completing that portion successfully and learning I had passed was a moment I’ll never forget.”
Joseph also attended the Niner Experience at Niner Wine Estates in Paso Robles, CA. “One of the most fascinating moments was tasting two Pinot Noirs grown in the same vineyard just feet apart, yet expressing completely different characteristics based on growing and winemaking choices. It was a powerful reminder of how much intention and craftsmanship goes into every bottle of wine.”
Great hospitality starts with a genuine curiosity about what is being served and shared with Members. Over the years, that curiosity led to the pursuit of several beverage certifications: Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers, Level 2 in Wines with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), Certified Bourbon Steward through the Stave & Thief Society, and Level 1 through the Cicerone Certification Program for beer. Together, they have helped build a wellrounded understanding of how beverages can complement the dining experience.
“My goal is to create programs that are both educational and enjoyable for our Deerwood Members, while crafting experiences that feel personal. In a club setting, you’re not just serving Guests once — you’re getting to know Members, their families, their preferences, and the moments they celebrate here. I look forward to seeing you at the club!”

Guests were then served a grilled peach, prosciutto, and burrata salad with arugula and champagne vinaigrette, complemented by warm honeybutter glazed croissants. Before the main course, attendees enjoyed a refreshing lemon sorbet intermezzo garnished with fresh strawberry. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Charles Jackson, alongside Sous Chef Marvin and Cook Linda, the Culinary Team prepared an impressive selection of entrées: 81 Beef Wellingtons, 32 Chicken Cordon Bleu with béchamel sauce, and Ratatouille for our vegetarian Guests. The evening concluded on a sweet note with a beautifully prepared crème brûlée, followed by coffee service. Feedback on Teamwork, food quality, and service has been outstanding, and we couldn’t be prouder of our Banquets Team. We are excited to carry this momentum into our next event, Mother’s Day!
