Hats Off to Parley Petersen
Hats Off to Parley Petersen
Our hat is off today to Parley Petersen, 75, the general manager of Riverside Country Club for the last quarter of a century and 
then some. He has announced that he is retiring at the end of the year. Parley has been the face and voice of Riverside Country Club to the members, the broader golf community, and to the people of Utah Valley. He has personally greeted thousands of visitors to the club and made them feel welcome and comfortable.
Parley’s charm is in his courteous, graceful style. Never in a rush, but always on time. Never in a panic, but always prepared. Never flustered, Always immaculate in dress and manner. His quiet, gentle tone of voice (radio quality) and reassuring smile calm all ruffled feathers.
He is keenly observant of the needs of others, many times before they even realize their need. He fixes distractions without distraction, and turns unease into comfort with a kind word and an inclusive wink.
He has been the consummate general manager and helped make Riverside CC a beautiful, comfortable, relaxing places to be in the midst of a world in too big of a hurry.
Parley, thanks for your service to others in so many ways.
