I’m just sitting here drinking my coffee and introspecting about this past weekend; all that I can say is that my cup is full. I had close friends & family around me, I had Gamecock fans & athletes around me, sunshine & rain, good & bad golfers….and whiskey. We saw the highest scoring team leave with $200 worth of prizes, the best team name with 4 donated “Bourbon” hats from Chicken Cock Whiskey, and the lowest scoring team take home 4 incredible local bottles from High Wire in Charleston with their trophies. The BBQ lunch was on point with the timing, but the flavor of my sandwich (I got the original sauce) was as good as I can remember. I want to thank Brian and Tammy from Big B’s BBQ for coming through and providing us with such quality while on the course. I would say that my favorite part of the day was hearing the cheers from a team whose teammate just chipped in or dropped a bomb for Eagle. I know I heard at least 4 and screamed myself a couple times with great shots from my team. Being born and raised in Aiken, or 20 miles from the Augusta National, I’ve had the privilege of hearing those loud cheers echo off ages old Pine trees during tournament play at the Masters. There were glimpses of those echoes off our Pines on Saturday, and the former athlete in me loved hearing the pure enjoyment from the team that owned those echoes.
