Greg Norman visits East Tennessee

Greg Norman was in Loudon County Thursday for the opening weekend of the Tennessee National Golf Club he designed.

Norman played the new golf course Thursday, then met the club's 120 or so members at a social event.

Norman's Medalist Developments worked with Chattanooga businessman John Thornton on the project. There are home sites along the course, with plans for a marina and an upscale restaurant.

The Tennessee National will hold an open house on Sunday, September 10.
