  • Volunteers needed for kids golf...

    Four years ago, Rusty and Carol Petrea, the founders of The First Tee of Brunswick County, asked me to serve on the board of directors and to help with public relations. It’s been a fun ride since then and I have never, ever been sorry I made the commitment.

  • Newer artificial baits luring...

    January is a great time for boat shows and tackle expos, and if you go to one you will see a bewildering selection of lures available for throwing at inshore saltwater fish. The Bass Pro Shop, Dick’s Sporting Goods, our fine local tackle shops and even the better Walmarts carry most of the same artificial choices. All of them work in the right situation, and you shouldn’t be reluctant to try some of the newer models out there gaining fame for their success.

  • While lowering scores, golfers...

    Nationally and locally, 2008 was a memorable year in sports.

    In reviewing The Beacon sports sections in the short time I have been here, I found myself doing some math and came across what I consider the best local sports story of the year: the generosity of the many, many golfers in this county.

    Readers of this newspaper know golf gets nearly a full section to itself to each week. (I know that firsthand: I edit in the results.) Golf leagues routinely report their scores and we dutifully print the results.

    BOILING SPRING LAKES—The South Brunswick Cougar football team, who missed playing for a state title by two victories, had 12 players named to the Waccamaw All-Conference team. Six were on the first team and six on the second team.

    Coach Gordon Walters, who in three years built a program that saw the Cougars this season reach the third round of state playoffs, was still riding high with what his players had accomplished. It was the first time in 22 years the team was in the playoffs.

  • Make use of fishing gear you got...

    If you are looking to celebrate the New Year by breaking in that fishing gear you got for Christmas, there are still opportunities out there. Water temperatures are a little lower than what they were last year, but that is still warm enough for the area to hold some fish. Quite a few species are still active, with speckled trout topping the list for most winter anglers.
