Where Families Come To Play
WELCOME BACK GOLFERS!
We want to welcome all of our golfers back to the club for another year of great
golf on one of the best courses in Westmoreland County. We are here to serve
you. Chuck and his team in the pro shop look forward to welcoming you back to
the course and getting you ready for another season. Tobin and his staff have
been working on the golf course to ensure that it is in top condition and ready
for play. Make a tee time and come out to play to see the results of our bunker
improvement and tree removal projects that took place over the winter. For
those that qualify, the new forward tee on hole number eleven is now open! We
look forward to many fun rounds of golf with friends and family and a few good
competitions to keep things interesting.
Hello Greensburg Country Club members and supporters,
I would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Brad Ladik, and I am the
new General Manager at Greensburg Country Club! I appreciate you all having me
here, I am excited about this opportunity! I have been meeting with the Greensburg
employee Team my first couple days and greatly look forward to leading and working
with the Team while serving you! I also look forward to meeting all of you in person!
If you have not been to the Club recently it really looks great, the new carpeting is phenomenal, and I am
looking to continue the momentum that the Club has built recently. When the membership, owners, com-
mittees, and management work cohesively together we can make meaningful progress for the Club.
I have extensive experience in working at excellent Clubs in Western PA and am happy to be at Greensburg
Country Club. The past two years I have been the General Manager at Sunnehanna Country Club in John-
stown. Prior to that I was the Assistant General Manager at The Pittsburgh Golf Club for over five years. I
also worked at Oakmont Country Club for nearly nineteen years.
Some of the accomplishments over the years I have been involved in include tournaments such as the 1994
U.S. Men’s Open, 2003 U.S. Amateur, 2007 U.S. Men’s Open, the 2010 Women’s U.S. Open, the Sunnehanna
Amateur, and the 2016 U.S. Men’s Open. I had the opportunity to go to Argentina and Chile to study the
wines of those regions which proved to pay huge dividends when Angel Cabrera won the U.S. Open in 2007.
The Team treated the underdog Cabrera to some of the finest wines of Argentina at the Club during his vic-
tory dinner! While developing my education in wine I obtained the Court of Master Sommelier Certification
and Certified Specialist of Wine Certification. In 2013 I obtained Certified Club Manager Certification which
is a benchmark for anyone in the Club business. This was paid for by first obtaining the Willmoore H. Kendal
Scholarship thru the Club Managers of America Foundation.
But what I bring to Greensburg Country Club is not past accomplishments or certifications, it is most im-
portantly a passion for the hospitality business. One of my beliefs is “Hospitality is a Way of Life”! I also be-
lieve in the TEAM concept (together everyone achieves more). We will be continuing to plant the seeds for
us to continue to grow. We will do this as a Team focused on training, education, attention to detail and
sharing the vision of “Greensburg Country Club Excellence”.
I also am happy to announce the latest easing of restrictions announced by Governor Wolf starting on April
4th. At that time, we will be allowed to seat up to 75% capacity indoors and serve
alcohol without food, while practicing safe distancing. We will continue to require
mask wearing, stringent cleaning, and other health measures here at the Club. But
this is a big step in getting things going in the right direction.
I believe 2021 will be a great year at Greensburg Country Club, and look forward
to meeting everyone at the Club!

Graceful in flight, musical in its pre-dawn singing, this
big swallow is one of our most popular birds. Almost
all Purple Martins in the east now nest in birdhouses
put up especially for them. Martin housing has a long
history: some Native American tribes reportedly hung
up hollow gourds around their villages to attract
these birds. Purple Martins migrate to South America
for the winter, but before leaving, they may gather to
roost in groups of thousands in late summer.
A long-distance migrant, most wintering in Amazon Basin. Returns very early in spring in the
east (often in February in southern states), usually later in spring in the west (mainly April
and May). See if you can spot them around our course, their house is on Hole #1. Source: Nation-
al Audubon
Welcome Back Coach Erdos!
The Greensburg Country Club would like to welcome back Coach Erdos as swim
coach of the Fighting Fish. Coach Erdos is excited to be returning as Coach of
our swim team. Last year, the team was only able to practice during the summer
due to Covid. Thanks to Coach Erdos’ training, the team grew exponentially
throughout the practice season. We are looking forward to resuming swim meets
this season. The tentative schedule includes 5 team swim meets, A Diving invita-
tional at Butler CC, Swim Champs invitational at Montour Heights CC, and a mini
meet invitational to be hosted at GCC.
Tom Erdos was the Head Swim Coach of Peters Township High School and Swim Club from (1968-
1976). Legendary head swimming and diving coach Tom Erdos -- a coaching veteran of 35 years
with the Allegheny Gators (1977-2012). Erdos’ teams
have produced 256 All-Americans, seven national champions and 23 National Top-10 team finishes.
Erdos, who has twice been named NCAA Division III Coach of the Year during his time at Allegheny
College. In addition, Coach Erdos was named Conference Coach of the Year numerous times.
A 1968 graduate of Slippery Rock University, Erdos earned All-America honors in 24 events, the
maximum possible over four years, and was voted team Most Valuable Swimmer for four consecu-
tive years. During his senior year, he went on to qualify for the 1968 Olympic Trials. An active com-
munity member, Coach Erdos also started a “learn to swim” program that has seen over 10,000
community members learn how to swim at the Mellon Pool, Meadville, PA. –
