It was 2003 and Stewart’s job was to work with the famous golfers as they created the course.

Witt said Stewart is also skilled at making people happy.

Stewart, the head of golf at Talis Park, said it was an amazing experience to be part of the beginning of such a special golf course.

After the course was done, Stewart Taylormade R11 driver turned his attention to personal customer service. The community, which was owned by WCI, then a foreign bank and now Kitson and Partners, currently has only 30 homes and only about 70 golf members.

Stewart said that even when Talis Park is built out at 585 homes, he plans to maintain that personal touch with each golfer. This will be possible because he’s not a general manager who sits in an office. He’s out there helping his staff do everything from wipe tables to prepare drinks for golfers as they come off the course.

“Pete Dye and Greg Norman, they flew in Pete’s helicopter and landed right here,” Stewart said as he pointed to Taylormade R11 irons the Talis Park golf course. “I would pick up sandwiches at Subway and we would sit by the helicopter and eat and discuss plans. It was unbelievable. Then Greg and Pete would jump in my truck and we would drive around.”

“He always has the ability to tell somebody no and they would still walk away happy,” Witt said.

“Our uniqueness is all our guys know everybody’s first and last name and their children and their pets,” Stewart said. “It gives us a more personal ability.”
