In Loving Memory of Chuck Dudleychuckstree 18th August 1950 – 12th February 2008
Chuck Dudley was passionate about life and especially Orleans Country Club. Chuck‘s great loves were his family, his faith, sports and GOLF! As a continuous member of OCC for over 50 years and as our treasurer for over 25 years, Chuck gave unconditionally of his time and expertise to our club. Orleans Country Club’s financial well being was always Chuck‘s utmost concern and his willing spirit and loyalty were absolute.

Fall Scott Tournament Dedication
In honor of Chuck Dudley, September 13 & 14, 2008
The board of Directors and the Tournament Committee honored Chuck for the many years of dedication and service he gave to the club at the Fall Scott Tournament. Chuck spent over 45 years as a part of the "Orleans Country Club family."
Thank you Chuck, for everything you did for us, and for being our friend.
Don’t be surprised if a "fifth player" joins you somewhere on the course. Golfers know that fivesomes are NOT allowed on the course, but more than once during the 08 summer a "fifth player" joined OCC members during a round of golf.
Chuck . . . thanks for everything. This one’s for you.
In Loving Memory of Dennis Jenkins
18th October 1938 – 15th December 2007
Dennis had been a director since 1982. He served in many capacities over the years including past president of Orleans Country Club and was always an active member of the board. Golf and OCC were great passions of Dennis. He was a tremendous asset to the board of directors and always had the best interest of the club at heart. He will be missed greatly by his friends at OCC. He was born in England and after earning a degree in Engineering he immigrated to the US to work at Space Research Corp. Dennis later started his own business Phoenix Engineering Inc.
