  • Ocean Ridge Plantation: It’s not just golf

    Contrary to popular belief, golf course communities are not just about golf. I’ve heard people say, “Why would I want to live on a golf course? I don’t play golf!”

  • Hope Harbor Home Tournament: Women helping women

    Irene was my best friend growing up in a small Maryland town. We spent nights at each other’s houses, went to the same youth group at church, played endless games of Monopoly and talked on the phone for hours.  
    She got married and moved to Florida. I got married and moved to New Jersey.
    When she was 24, Irene was stabbed to death on Christmas Eve by her husband. To make matters even worse, he did it in front of their two young children.
