This month we’re shining the spotlight on one of our talented bartenders, Tommy Thomas. Known for his easygoing personality, great cocktails, and sense of humor, Tommy has become a familiar face behind the bar and a valued part of our Woodbridge family. Let’s get to know him a little better!

Q: What’s your current role at the Club, and how long have you been part of the team?

I’m one of the bartenders, and I’ve been at Woodbridge for 3 years and 9 months.

Q: What originally brought you to Woodbridge Golf & Country Club?

My good friend Zach in the Golf Shop told me about some openings, so I came in for an interview on the food & beverage side.

Q: What’s your favorite part of your job?

I love learning how to craft new cocktails, working all the fun events we have throughout the year, and being around such great coworkers. The members and staff really do feel like an extended family.

Q: Can you share a memorable moment from your time here?

Every Tokay Tournament I’ve worked has been unforgettable—the energy and fun are unmatched. Karaoke nights have also been a blast!

Q: How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

I enjoy playing golf and softball with friends, poker nights, trips to the beach, and skateboarding—one of my all-time favorite pastimes.

Q: Do you have career aspirations outside of the Club?

Yes, I’m currently working on getting my Realtor’s license.

Q: Do you have a favorite event or tradition at the Club?

Definitely the Tokay Tournament—it’s always a highlight of the year.

Q: What’s your go-to meal or drink from the Club menu?

I can’t resist a good Arnold Palmer, our street tacos, and the junior club sandwich.

Q: Who or what inspires you in your work?

My boss, Kelley Mori. He’s an incredible mixologist and makes the best cocktails, but beyond that, the relationships he has with members and staff show how much he cares and how respected he is at the Club.

Q: If you could switch roles with anyone at the Club for a day, who would it be and why?

Any of the members! From the 18-Hole Ladies to the Cigar Club guys, just seeing the fun they have golfing and enjoying time with friends makes my job that much more enjoyable.

Q: What’s one fun fact about you that members might not know?

Some may know this already, but my full name is Thomas Thomas. I was named after my late grandfather, Dr. Thomas Thomas.

Q: What do you enjoy most about being part of the Woodbridge community?

The members and staff. The members treat you like family, and my coworkers are truly an extension of family. I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of such an amazing club.
