I get the impression that you have more of a transient crowd at that place. I like that about this biz .... fresh faces, new stories. I love my regulars, but it's nice to meet new people too.


Quite right Dave, but it's interesting because some of my out-of-towners are now "regulars" too. We have a big time-share community here so people come for specific weeks/months out of the year regularly and they come back to see me play. But equally often I am playing and meeting visitors for the first time. That's the great thing about living and working in a tourist destination area like Hilton Head, SC - a steady supply of fresh faces who are usually in vacation mode and ready to relax and have a good time. It helps that we are just below the snowline so we have year-round golf here (it was 73 degrees here yesterday). I am fortunate to be able to play through all seasons - it's the "slow season" here now but that's just a metaphor for "slower than summer" because we're still busy enough... just not quite AS busy as in other times of the year.
