Myrtle Beach Golf Trip '08



For the second year running London Ident had our winter golf in South Carolina. The same crew, myself, Kim (retired), Tom (the boss), Andy, Judy and Teri. Stayed at the same hotel, Long Bay, and played four rounds. Most of us agreed that our favorite course this year was Legends Heathland. They have two other courses in the same area- I forsee going back to try one of those.
The weather was not as kind as last year, a little colder and we got to see some rain. Our first day was very wet- we gave up on the 14th hole, but they were very good about it and gave us all a nine hole rain check and we came back the next day at 3 after we completed 18 at another course.
I can't beleive the amount of food thats served at all of the resteraunts there. Seems like there was twice as much as normal- and twice the amount thats deep fried, just fried or re-fried. I tried to keep breakfast small and have fish or salad or both at dinner. Had to save some calorie room for the "occasional" beer.
The refreshment cart lady on day two told me I won the award for least dressed on the course. I was in golf shirt and shorts- most had pants and long sleeve- she had three jackets, hat and mitts! This is Judy on the Wednesday-she decided to start the day off warm. That doesn't look like a "golf hat"!
Heres another pho of the happy crew- minus the photographer, and Jude had left to meet her hubby in Florida for the next couple of weeks. The drive back was a little better this year- we stayed over the Thur night and left fresh Friday morning...probably safer for the other cars on the road!
FORE!

February '08....Three of the girls.

I know, it's been too long. It seems every opportunity to bring a camera to a holiday or event the last couple of months I either forget to bring the work camera home, or just plain forget to bring the camera from the house. It's always easier to remenmber things in hind sight. If I could learn to get my hind sight forward...
I have to give Ian credit for the photo of Molly. She looks so small sometimes- comparing her to Larry I guess, but she sure fills this chair. What a good puppy.
Speaking of great pictures, how about these two beauties. Hailey's down for her reading week and she's just so happy and fun to be with. She wanted to have a picture taken wit her sister- which I have to admit was something NOT on her agenda the past few years. I love the way that all of the kids are growing and maturing and are becoming friends as well as brothers and sisters.
It'll still be a couple of days to get golfing pictures added- I can't add photos at work for some reason so I have to fix them up there, email them home, then add them, blah blah blah. Later.
