Apr 17thMyrtle Beach Golf Trip, Day 1

My dad (and mom) grew up in a small town in West Virginia.  A friend of his puts on a golf trip each year.  Last year, my friend CW and I were lucky enough to get an invite.  This year, we all went again, and invited a couple more friends.  The base price of the trip is under $400 bucks, and includes 4 rounds of golf (carts included, coolers allowed), and 4 nights in Myrtle beach, as well as breakfast, and lunch, and an included steakhouse dinner.  Its an unbelievable deal, but similar ones can be found via a quick google search.  If you have a group of golf buddies, you’d be crazy not to check it out.

On Thursday, my dad and I drove down to our friends’ house in Fredericksburg to miss some traffic the following morning.  We sat around and talked late into the evening, played a little piano, and told old stories.  This was the view when I got up and had some coffee.  Then we met up with my friend CW at the waffle house.

My friend C-Note’s Dad, Winn-Dixie, is a regular there, and his banter with the staff was as enjoyable as my biscuit and bacon.  We headed down to Durham to play a round with one of Winn-Dixie’s former coworkers.  He invited us to play at his country club, and even bought us lunch.  Very generous.  He lost an arm, but still plays golf.  I can now say I’ve lost a round to a one armed man.  We also played with a character who’s license plate is featured below.  The weather and company was great, and the trip was just beginning.
