I have
been a slacker with the Caravelle Golf blog since its inception the first of
the year. I will be the first to admit that. I attribute it to two things: 1.) We are right smack in the middle of Myrtle Beach spring golf season and we have been very busy taking care of all of our Caravelle golfers. 2.) I have been playing like a pig.

The second
annual Caravelle Cup was recently completed and after enduring a driving rain
in the best ball format of round one at Arrowhead Country Club and testy winds in the Texas scramble format of round two at Wild
Wing Avocet, the team of Lance Trent and Robert Glance came away victorious.

I
played Prestwick Country Club, Pete Dye's first in Myrtle Beach, a few weeks
back in January. The course was in
pretty good condition overall. The
greens rolled true (as well as they will when I putt anyway) and the fairways
were manicured so the ball generally sat up well for a good lie when I hit it
in the fairway. This time of the year
Prestwick keeps the rough dormant so the lighter colored rough provides a great
look against the green fairways.

Having
lived here in Myrtle Beach for a little over four years now, I've had the
opportunity to play about half of the golf courses so far. When I get the
chance to play one for the first time, it fills me with a sense of anticipation
that I used to get on Christmas morning...ok I admit it, I still get the feeling
on Christmas morning. So, it was with an eager sense of anticipation that I set
out to play Caledonia for the first time.

Chip and I got to play at Blackmoor with a couple of friends last Sunday and got involved in a heated two man best ball grudge match against each other. Blackmoor is a great golf course designed by Gary Player that is set in the "low country" of South Carolina, which really just means that it's on the south end of the beach on a great piece of scenic property. We had a perfect golf day with temperatures in the high 60's, though that it was apparently a little bit too cold for the alligators that are normally out on nice days on the pond that separates the 14th, 15th and 16th holes. I have seen as many as three gators on that section of the course, but they generally come out when it's about 10-15 degrees warmer.
