COMMUNITY NEWS AND UPDATES

Garden Club Events at Callawassie

garden
Callawassie Island, SC: Garden club shares techniques.

> Callawassie Island, SC looks toward its fall calendar of member events with a number of new initiatives, including detailed planting and tending guidance from its Garden Club leadership. For residents who have spent most of their lives in Northern climates, the emphasis on autumn planting in the Lowcountry takes some getting used to.

Recommendations from the Garden Club include October planting of snapdragons and dianthus, which will bloom all year long. Also in the region, fall is the best time to plant shrubs, ferns, and shade plants, as well as such perennials as cone flowers, coreopsis, asters and cenna. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!

 

Quail Ridge Co-Hosts Championship

garden
Quail Ridge, FL: Hosts event on redesigned course.

> Quail Ridge Golf & Country Club, Boynton Beach FL recently co–hosted the 74th Florida Open Championship on its prestigious South Course, which was redesigned by architect Bobby Weed. The new South Course was in pristine condition for the event, which was won by J.C. Deacon with a 54-hole total of 206.

Central to the South Course redesign project was a reduction in irrigated, maintained turf, which was replaced with coquina-like screenings and pine straw. The striking visual contrast orients golfers on each tee as they contemplate the ribbons of emerald turf winding through the lighter screenings areas. Send me more information about Quail Ridge!

 

Desert Mountain Holds Benefits, Fundraisers

Desert Mountain, AZ: Helping first responders, hospitals.

> Desert Mountain, Scottsdale AZ  has responded in spirited fashion to the challenge issued by Jack Nicklaus in the name of ClubsHELP, which benefits frontline hospital workers, first responders, food banks, and nursing homes as they continue in the fight against COVID-19. Nicklaus is working with ClubsHELP to marshal the resources of affluent golf and country clubs in this cause.

Desert Mountain has funded a program of healthy, balanced meals delivered to three local hospitals—The Mayo Clinic, HonorHealth, and Banner Health, as well as to the first responders of the Scottsdale police and fire departments. Send me more information about Desert Mountain!

Callawassie Island Looks Out For Bluebirds

ecology
Callawassie Island, SC: Tracking nesting habits and more.

> Callawassie Island, SC  continues its annual Bluebird Monitoring Program this spring, relying on advice and volunteer service from the Callawassie Ecology Committee. Residents who participate receive guidance on maintaining and monitoring bluebird boxes.

Metrics tracked by the committee include number of nest sites, number of nesting attempts, total number of eggs, total eggs hatched and how many fledglings leave the nest.

Individuals who get involved will have a team leader assigned to them who will help ensure consistency and timeliness of monitoring. Increasing the island’s bluebird population, the program’s goal, is highly likely to realize success thanks to these efforts.  Send me more information about Callawassie Island!

The Cliffs Helps Golfers Stay on Course

ecology
The Cliffs, SC: Staying home doesn’t mean losing your skills.

> The Cliffs at Glassy, Landrum SC and its director of golf instruction, Sean Kennedy, recently distributed a program of unique golf tips for use by golfers at home, as practice, lessons and rounds of golf remain on hold due to the pandemic.

Featuring learning tools like mirrors, yardsticks and pool noodles, Kennedy’s in–home tips reinforce the important fundamentals of grip, posture, swing tempo and alignment to the target.

Tour professionals have used these techniques for generations, to prevent the small errors in pre-shot technique that can easily creep into a golfer’s game.  Send me more information about The Cliffs at Glassy!

Dataw Island Publishes Ecology Guide

ecology
Dataw Island, SC: New guide for nature lovers.

> Dataw Island, SC  has published a comprehensive, 60-page Ecology Guide, intended to educate residents and visitors to the complexity of the 840-acre community’s ecosystem.

Researched, written and illustrated with mainly volunteer contributions, the book is a field guide to community surroundings, which consist of tidal marshland, Jenkins Creek, the Morgan River and many freshwater lakes and ponds.

Callawassie Island Celebrates Anniversary

callawassie island golf
Callawassie Island, SC: Celebrating a year of the River Club.

> Callawassie Island, SC will soon celebrate the one-year anniversary of an amenity that has dramatically enriched community life there. The Callawassie Island River Club had its grand opening in April of 2019 and became an immediate hit with residents and their guests.

Members appreciate for providing the best river view of any spot inside the gates, with most tables overlooking the river. A new screened-in porch has added still more river-view dining. A river-front swimming pool is heated in the cool months and cooled in the summer. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!

 

Woodside Cares for Bluebirds, Others

> Woodside, Aiken SC recently received word from the South Carolina Bluebird Society that the community would become a Designated Bluebird Habitat. Woodside was also given the Society’s Nestbox Award for its continued cooperation with efforts to build and place dedicated bluebird homes.

The SCBS has aided in the fledging of over 20,000 bluebirds, including nearly 6,000 birds last year alone. The SCBS also aids and monitors Wood Duck, Screech Owl and Kestrel nest boxes across 88 trails in South Carolina and East Georgia. Send me more information about Woodside!

 

New at Colleton River Club

Colleton River Club
Colleton River Club, SC: Featuring Tacit Cup Cutter.

> Colleton River Club, Bluffton SC has put into service a new and superior golf maintenance device called the Tacit Cup Cutter. Developed in Australia, this new hole cutter offers many advantages over traditional cutters. They include increased efficiency, improved hole quality and enhanced consistency of the hole depth irrespective of the operator.

The device’s vented housing eliminates the vacuum effect created by traditional cup cutters, reduces plug compression, and virtually eliminates the dreaded “volcano effect,” i.e., that slight rise along the outer lip of the hole so often created during the cup–setting procedure.  Send me more information about Colleton River!
