Golf at Pawleys Plantation: 7 '22

Today, Bruce and I decided to play a round of golf at our favorite course:

  Pawleys Plantation.  

To beat the midsummer heat, we started at 10:30 am and played the Back 9 holes before the ground temperatures of the fairways heated up.

That strategy worked out well for us.

In addition to being my favorite part of the course.  The Back 9 holes are adjacent to the Pawleys Island marsh which makes for some of the most beautiful views on this course  ( and some of the most technically challenging holes on this course).

And, being adjacent to the wide open spaces of the marsh, brings the additional benefit of a cooling ocean breeze.

That certainly helped when the air temps reached the mid- 90s

But not enough that I wanted to play more than my usual 9 holes,

 while Bruce wanted to coninue on to play all 18

After checking the sky, Bruce assured me he would be fine play the front 9 holes as a single, 

while I went off shopping  for plants at my favorite local nursery ( Culinary  Inlet Gardens in Murrells Inlet)

I am pretty sure who got the better end of that deal.

The sky  opened up on hime amost as soon as I drove out of the plantation

But he did manage to finish all 18 holes

While I got a whole box full  of tropical plants for our yard.

So we both were happy with the day.
