  • Christmas is visible even in the sky

    A Christmas sky show from east to west, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
    A learned stargazer can see a manger with two donkeys, three kings following a bright star and two shepherds. If those images were not enough, a cross is visible and with the help of a telescope a Christmas tree is visible.
    All you need is a star chart and a constellation book about the culture beliefs of star images. Remember Greek and Roman mythology are not the only narratives about the stars.

  • Ocean Ridge plays Bah Humbug Tourney

    The Ocean Ridge Men’s Golf Association played its sevent annual Bah Humbug Tournament Dec 14 at Panther’s Run. The event was a four-player shamble. The lowest two net scores per hole counted for the team score.

  • A Christmas wish for you

    Writing this column every week is both a job and privilege. I have been The Brunswick Beacon golf columnist since Sept. 12, 2002. That’s 483 columns.
    It’s hard to believe, because time flies when you’re having fun and I love being your golf columnist. I’ve assembled an idea file about 2-inches deep in the drawer next to my desk, thanks to you. People email me ideas, they buttonhole me in Walmart and they call me on the phone. I could write columns for the next six months without straining to find a topic.
