Golf

Maintaining a golf course during the dog days of summer is a daunting task for all our superintendents.
These guys and gals are not just grass cutters. They are highly educated, trained professionals who know agronomy, plant identification, chemicals, biology, botany, design, management and business.

On Independence Day, we remembered those who have served our nation to keep the freedom.
We have joined forces with The First Tee of Brunswick County. Why? For a number of reasons. We are still serving and volunteering our time, talents and energy to an organization that builds on character development we can use for a lifetime through the game of golf. What a wonderful concept: having fun and learning life skills our children in Brunswick County can take and build on.
