History of the Hunt

Start Year:	1988
End Year:	N/A
History:	Established 1988. Registered 1991. Green Creek Hounds, founded in 1988 by Peg Secor, is known for its fine sport and welcoming atmosphere. Peg’s husband, Dick Secor, joined the effort in 1989 and John Burgess in early 1990. Seeing the need for a skilled hunter for the varied terrain, the team invited Jefferson "Tot’ Goodwin to help the three Masters. In 1990, Goodwin became the Green Creek Huntsman, and Green Creek Hounds was accepted by the MFHA. Green Creek’s Charter extends over thousands of acres through Polk and Cleveland Counties in North Carolina and Greenville and Union Counties in South Carolina. John Burgess and Dick Secor served until the mid-nineties. Mike Sheils joined Green Creek Hounds as a Master in the 90's. When he resigned Nan Hull and Pat Hale became Masters. Peg Secor named Tot Goodwin Master in 1997 and he served as both Huntsman and Master for 21 years. Nan Hull resigned in 1999 and Peg Secor stepped down in 2000. Tom Jackson came on board as a Master in 2000. Roger Smith, the hunt’s largest land owner, joined the group of Masters in 2007. Tom and Roger served until August, 2011. Pat stayed on until the end of the 2011/12 season. Kem Ketcham, Christi Fowler and Deborah Bundy were appointed Masters in August 2011. In March 2018 Jefferson "Tot" Goodwin retired as Master and Huntsman and David Raley was appointed as huntsman. The original kennels on Sandy Plains Rd were replaced with a new facility at 6689 Poors Ford Rd Columbus NC, in Green Creek. At the end of the 2018-2019 season, Kem, Christi and Deborah retired Recognized 1994. Hounds went out 63 times last season.
