Recently the Grand Strand hosted the Masters National ProMiniGolf Championship for as many as 90 people, some from all over the world: Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and eight people from Japan. Though rules stipulate that players must be a member of the U. S. ProMiniGolf Associating, they may be men, women, and/or children. Ages range from youth to retirees, and why not when first place pays $3,000!

Located about an hour and a half north of The Grand Strand, plus a ferry ride across the channel, Bald Head Island is home to relaxed residents, gorgeous dwellings, and content wildlife who bask in a protected environment. The island also features a premier golf course. However, beginning November 1st, it will be closed to “re-naturalize” until May, 2010. Nevertheless, it’s worth the ferry ride over to the island to take a look.

So-called “sandbar” sharks visit our area every so often (attacks to humans are rare, usually when the animal is trapped in low tide). Recently this one drifted into view just off the edge of the Cherry Grove Pier, brought in by wave action and plentiful food supply. Shark sightings occur every so often, and usually the stretch of beach where they appear is closed to swimming and wading during their visit.

On October 3rd, the First Annual “Salute to Disabled Veterans” occurred at Cherry Grove Pier. Coincidentally, this was also the national “Make It Happen” day when those things people talk about doing actually become a reality. Its purpose was not only to promote saltwater fishing and conserve our local fishing waters, but also an opportunity to pay tribute to veterans, in particular disabled veterans, who sacrificed so much for our country and its citizens.
