After I got back from NYC, I drove straight to Myrtle Beach for the Memorial Day weekend. What I didn't realize was it was also bikers weekend during the time I was there. I saw literally hundreds of tripped out crotch rockets and exotic car everywhere. I guess it was blind luck that I didn't hit one of them by the way there are riding. I still don't understand why people don't wear helmets when they ride. In California, you need a helmet just to ride a bicycle!
I checked into a two bedroom apartment in Myrtle Beach and it was nice to be able to cook my own meals for a change. Haven't really done that in a while and eating out all the time does get a bit tiring. The extra space was definitely a nice alternative from the hotel rooms I've been staying at.
I had originally planned to play 2 rounds while I was in Myrtle Beach: TPC Myrtle Beach and Caledonia Golf and Fish Club. Both of these courses are in Golf Digest Top 100 Public Courses. On my visit to Caledonia, I was paired up with Tim and John, two coworkers from Tennessee producing Uranium for the US Govt...they joke that they glow in the dark. Given the Ricky Fowler clothing Tim was wearing, I wasn't sure it was the clothes or it that was actually true (that one's for you John, you can make fun of Tim for that one for me.) They were kind enough to invite me back to their place after the round and have dinner with play Cornhole in the backyard while throwing back a few cold beers. Gosh, how I miss southern hospitality! We had so much fun that we decided to play True Blue Plantation Course the next morning.
I think I'm finally finding my golf game with the 3 rounds I played in Myrtle Beach. I shot TPC Myrtle (85), Caledonia (84), and True Blue (90.) Two record lows for me on two Top 100 Courses!! My drives and approach shots were good and my short game and putting is finally coming together. Not bad at one of the golf meccas in the US. The courses were just in absolute perfect condition with the lush fairways and glass like greens. There were even turkeys and alligators on the courses (a bit unnerving seeing a 8ft gator before you tee off.)
Anyway, here are the pictures from Myrtle Beach. Hope you enjoy these. My next stop is PINEHURST!!!!!!!!
