Golf Beaufort and its surrounding areas have been famous for many things, its warm weather, its connection to American history, and even paranormal activity. Beaufort is also famous for another thing, however, Golf. Beaufort County’s warm climate and recurrently sunny days make it possible to play golf year- round featuring over 120 golf courses. In fact, Harbour Town Golf Links Course is host to a leg of the PGA Tour, one of the largest golf competitions in the world, The Heritage Golf Classic. Many people think of golf as a sport that is boring and uneventful. However, those that participate in the ancient game find that golf is a sport that takes great physical and mental strength, ingenuity and patience. It is a game that not even the experts can master. It is sometimes called a game of mistakes (he who makes the least mistakes wins). Golf has been called a “nice walk spoiled” because of the frustrating nature of the challenges it presents. It is a game of strategy and a game of wits, and Beaufort is one of the best places in the US to play it amongst the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. Where else can you swing a club and watch a pelican fly or a blue heron forage in the marsh? This is Golf country and the spring is the best time of year to enjoy it.

IMPROVING YOUR GOLF SCORE In all sports, it is essential that you warm up properly to attain the best performance. If you go to any professional or even amateur sporting event, you will see competing athletes doing pre-game warm-ups. Golfers, especially those in the professional level, are not different from them. When tour professionals are about to begin their first tee, they would have made full warm-ups to be able to make their best swings. However, most amateurs have their “warm-ups” done by racing from their autos to the shop and check in, then dashing to their first tee, in just about five minutes. Most of the time, this is followed by an unsteady and inconsistent play for the first holes, ending up with another lackluster round. The result: Disappointing golf scores. Here are some tips for you for improving your golf score. - First, go to the golf course as early as possible. You need time in taking care of your matters in the shop, in using the restroom, changing clothes and shoes, among others. It is crucial that you do not feel pressured or rushed, allowing you to get warmed up at a relaxed pace. Remember that your warm-up time sets your mood and tempo throughout the day, so just relax and move slowly. A minimum of an hour or two before you begin hitting your first tee would probably help you get a nice and relaxed warm-up. - Start your warm-up routine at the putting green. By spending some time on warming up on the green, you will be ready for the speed of the greens. More importantly, you will start up your day with a nice, deliberate, and smooth tempo. - Spend about 10 minutes or so trying to hit the chips around the green using a tee as your target. First test the greens’ firmness to see how much or less the golf ball will roll. In general, the ball tends to move more on hard greens than the soft greens. In addition, there are various kinds of rough which make the ball move differently when it touches the green. Spending some time around the green helps you to have some thoughts on choosing the great greenside shots during your round, and also, the spots where you are landing the golf ball on the putting surface. Remember: If you do not get enough warm-up, you should not expect to have an optimal performance, and consequently, a good golf score.
Replace All DIVOTS... I’ve had a good day when I don’t fall out of the cart. - Buddy Hackett I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators. - Pres. Gerald Ford The only thing in my bag that works is the bug spray. - Bruce Lansky The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can’t see him laughing. - Phyllis Diller Nobody ever looked up and saw a good shot. - Don Herold One of the advantages bowling has over golf is that you seldom lose a bowling ball. - Don Carter, pro bowler 8 l Tell Them You Saw It in Sea Island Scene l 2013 April

For devoted fans, soft shell crabs are just about the most bliss-inducing food on the planet. During the season (which begins in early Spring), soft shell fanatics eat them pan fried, broiled, grilled, and deep fried. Soft shell crabs aren't a separate species; they are just regular, hard shell crabs (most often blue crabs in the US) at a particular stage of growth. When buying fresh soft shell crabs, buy them live if at all possible from a reputable seafood market. Live softshells will move very little and very slowly. Their shells will be very pliable. Don't hesitate to examine them closely; their claws are harmless in the soft-shell stage. Avoid any crab - live or dead - that has a strong smell of any sort; a fresh crab, like a fresh fish, smells of little more than the water it came from.
Oriental Crab Cakes
SautĂŠed Soft Shell Crabs
1 lb crab meat, cartilage removed 2/3 cup bean sprouts, slightly chopped 1/4 cup water chestnuts, chopped 3 tablespoons scallions, chopped
8 soft shell crabs 1 cup milk pepper to taste salt
3 tablespoons celery, minced 1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce 1 large egg about 1/2 cup bread crumbs or enough to hold together
DIRECTIONS: Mix all ingredients together. Shape into patties and fry until brown. Makes about 12.
Crab Wedges 2 8-ounce cans crescent dinner rolls 1/2 pound fresh backfin or lump crabmeat 2 tablespoons finely chopped green peppers 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seafood Seasoning 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup mayonnaise
DIRECTIONS: Cut each cresent roll in half, making 32 triangles. Combine all of the ingredients. Mix well. Top each triangle with one teaspoon of the mixture. Fold over to form triangles. Moisten the edges and secure them by pressing them together with a fork. Arrange the triangles on a cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until golden brown, or for approximately 20 minutes. Serve with cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
Crabby Pizza 1/4 cup onion, chopped crab meat 1/4 cup melted butter
1 tortilla 1/2 cup shredded cheese
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the crab meat with the melted butter and place on a baking pan in the oven at 400 degrees F for 510 minutes. While baking, mix the pizza sauce and cream together in a bowl. After the crab is finished baking (it should have a slight golden tint to the outside), place the tortilla on a baking pan and let it bake until the edges are a little crisp and brown. Once the tortilla is finished baking, spread the pizza/cream sauce over the tortilla evenly. Sprinkle the onions, tomatoes, and crab meat over the sauce, and then top it off with cheese. Place the pizza in the oven for 5-10 minutes (or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling). Remove pizza from oven, allow to cool for at least a minute, serve and enjoy.
1/2 cup flour (all purpose) 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons of minced garlic lemon wedges
DIRECTIONS: Wash cleaned crabs well. Mix milk, salt and pepper, soak crabs in mixture. Dip the crabs in flour shaking off excess flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the garlic in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until it sizzles. Saute 4 of the crabs until golden brown for about 4 minutes on each side making sure that they don’t stick. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and crabs. Serve with lemon wedges. Serves 4.

Stir in the crab and pimiento. Slice off the top of the bread. Scoop out the center of the loaf to make a basket. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Fill the center with the crab mixture. Bake about 45 minutes at 350 degrees, until very warm. Serve with crackers or fresh vegetables.
Softshell Crabs Grilled in Soy Sauce 1/2 cup soy sauce 3 cups white wine 2/3 cup olive oil
12 drops hot pepper sauce 4 cloves fresh garlic, chopped 8 soft shell crabs

EARTH DAY is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. April 22 corresponds to spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day. “It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.” - Rachel Carson excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Day courtesy of www.wikipedia.org
Tucked in the heart of the South Carolina Sea Islands between glimmering marshes and deep water, nestled beneath the silvery moss draped limbs of massive live oaks, you will find the Penn Center on St. Helena Island the site of one of the country’s first schools for freed slaves and one of the most significant African American historical and cultural institutions in existence today. One of the most beautiful and historically distinct of the South Carolina Sea Islands, Penn Center sits at the heart of Gullah culture, a culture that has preserved more of their African linguistic & heritage than any other AfricanAmerican community in the U.S. The 50 acres of the historical campus of Penn School. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974, it is a part of the Penn School Historic District which is comprised of nineteen buildings related to and used by Penn School—Brick Church, Darrah Hall, one of the oldest buildings on St. Helena Island, old burial grounds, Gantt Cottage where Martin Luther King Jr. lodged, a Nature Trail, Chowan Creek, acres of pines, native flora and fauna. On behalf of the Penn Center Board of Trustees and the Sea Island Community, we welcome you to our family and look forward to your visit. For, in the words of the Gullah people—“when oonuh dey yuh, oonuh dey home”—when you are here, you are home.
