  • Tommy Roehm charity golf tournament set for Sept. 8

    By Frank Richardson
    Special to the Beacon
    CALABASH—Tommy “Two Feathers” Roehm faced horrors no person should face during his time in Vietnam, but he made it back.
    Perhaps he smothered the memories of Vietnam with his boundless energy that he displayed in the business world and in his membership in Post 7288 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. There was no project he would not tackle, even sleeping at the Post on occasion so he could get an early start on the task the next morning. He worked hard and played hard.

  • Sea Trail: Seething with questions, hoping for success

    I remember playing at Sea Trail years ago before we ever moved to Brunswick County and it was always one of my favorite venues. Its immaculate courses were designed by three of the most famous golf architects in the world (Willard Byrd, Rees Jones and Dan Maples). We looked forward to playing them each time we vacationed on the Carolina coast.

    The Ocean Ridge Ladies Golf Association played its annual member-guest tournament on July 23 at Lion’s Paw. The theme of the tournament was “flip-flops and fairways” and many teams came dressed in bright-colored beach-themed outfits and decorated flip-flops.
    There were 38 teams and each member-guest team recorded the best gross score and best net score per hole. In both divisions, each team member had to contribute at least three holes per side.

  • Corvettes, Corvettes everywhere: Car club stops in at Brick Landing

    On June 21, I pulled into the Brick Landing parking lot and saw a sea of Corvettes.
    Red, black, white, maroon, yellow, blue and silver Corvettes glistened in the noon sunlight. I felt a kid in a candy store.
    Several people had stopped on Goose Creek Road. Most had had their cameras and cell phones out and were taking pictures.
