Steven Grayson Harrop (TCPalm)
Steven Grayson Harrop, 41, could face up to 30 years in prison if he is convicted on charges that he pocketed profits from selling unauthorized golf passes at Hammock Creek’s golf club and falsified dozens of bank statements from 2005 until December, according to Martin County Sheriff’s Office arrest reports.
Harrop confessed to his boss, George Elmore, who fired him in February after an internal audit revealed the discrepancies, the reports said.
Elmore on Friday described Harrop as a warm and friendly man who seemed trustworthy up until the last couple of years of his employment.
“I’ve been in this business 56 years and this has only happened to me 3 times,” Elmore said. “I like to think I’m a good judge of character, but Steven, he really surprised me.”
Elmore said he believed Harrop used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle. Records show Harrop and his wife April, who filed for divorce last month, bought a half-million dollar home south of Hammock Creek in 2007. A Palm City rental property Harrop owned is now in foreclosure.
Harrop, who was released on $50,000 after his arrest last week, could not be reached for comment Friday.

Just another fellow who felt the good life was owed to him. Too bad he didn’t realize that he threw away a job most would kill for, and skrewed over people whos friendship most would value.

Enjoy getting sued Red Bull. IP addresses are easily obtained if those people file a civil suit against you. You can not post stuff like that, even if you had the evidence to back it up.

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[ S E E K C O U G A R (C 0 /M)_]—a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

“This has only happened to me 3 times”. Geez, no offense but after the first time I think I would put security measures in place to prevent it from happening again.

Before you get started you need to pick what clubs that you need to purchase. Six times you have completed this, then you can start pricing them out. It is important to note the type of clubs that you are shopping for, you will also need to take note of the make & model that you are interested in purchasing. Next, you can search the net to price your clubs.

Regarding the accusations of Red Bull & Smith,,as a Mizner owner and resident, this is such BS. First of all finances and funds are not controlled by Mitch Kessler nor any other Board member. We have an active finance committee comprised of very experienced financial people. We also have a full time controller and accounting staff. As far as the even dumber comment of Peter being Anti-Semetic, he really would be working in and for the wrong community and membership if he was….and he is neither that dumb nor Anti-Semetic This is like saying the Israeli cabinet has hired Akminijad to be their new PR manager.
We recently had several members sanctioned and disciplined after hearings by the Grievance committee. It is not surprising that this BULL is flying around.
FOR THE RECORD, I AM NEIHER ON THE BOARD NOR ANY COMMITTEE.

I have tried almost any golf club brand and have decided these types of golf clubs are the most suitable there may be,having the newest versions getting in the field as of late it sure is difficult to settle on exactly what to have. Think I most certainly will buy a few of them collectively in order to get accustomed to using those to notice if, perhaps they’re worthy investing in a total new set.

Ive worked with almost every golf-club model and thus have decided these sets are now the most effective there is,through the brand new styles coming in the market recently it sure is tough to figure out what to get. Think I most certainly will invest in several of them along in order to get accustomed to playing with them to notice if they are seriously worth purchasing a total package.

Surely the primary golf gear makers are making steady enhancements to their gear and there is continuously space for this, the custom made grips truly aids me to help control the actual accuracy,this web site has some great information that being said continue to keep publishing up to date enhancements which major golf specialists come forth with for some might help our golf game and also other people in various strategies. A tiny not noticed enhancement to a club can help a certain player in a major manner for you that being said keep submitting what you can find that can help increase the game. many thanks
