    On Nov. 3-4, men’s and women’s golf club champions in Brunswick County will compete in the 2012 Tournament of Champions at Sandpiper Bay. They qualified for this event by winning the gross-score championship at their clubs.
    The tournament began nine years ago as a suggestion from several club champions. They wanted “just one more tournament” to determine the best of the best for that year.

  • Steve White: Running golf courses, running Ironman races

    I love talking to enthusiastic, optimistic, dedicated people and, quite frankly, there’s a bunch of them right here in Brunswick County.
    Many of our retirees have second careers and whole new outlooks on life. Some have gone back to college; others are in the creative arts working in oils, pastels, pottery, sculpting and photography. Others write novels, memoirs and poetry.  
    Many folks, old and young, settle on the Carolina coast after living and working in other parts of the country, even other parts of the world.

  • Coastal Carolinas Golf Association: Moving right along

    I first met Jim McFadden when he owned and operated Mac’s Caddy Shack in the Old Southport Village Shops on Howe Street.
    Jim has been immersed in the game of golf since a boy. During the years, he caddied for golf legends like Arnold Palmer, Payne Stewart and Steve Stricker at the Kittansett and Myopia clubs in Massachusetts. He worked in private club management, ran tournaments, worked in retail golf sales and was a senior account executive at a regional golf magazine.

  • For a change of pace, plan a golf trip

    One of the best things about golf is the travel aspect of the game because all golf courses are different.
    Whether you play in the mountains, the desert or the Carolina low country, every golf course has its own identity. Each golf course architect creates his own spin as he routes the course through a particular terrain. The golfer experiences different views, grasses, yardages, lakes, rivers, creeks, ponds, salt marshes, elevations and challenges as he plays the round.
    Travel golf adds a fabulous dimension to the game, especially if you go with a group of friends.
