Off-the-Course Escapades
Dinner with Greg Norman... Just another day in Myrtle Beach
Shawn -- Woodstock, ON (6/8/2006)
As a child I spent a great deal of time visiting Myrtle Beach on family vacations. We always had the best time, but it had been years since I had returned. It seemed like the perfect destination to take my wife for our first wedding anniversary. As an avid golfer, I also wanted to try to pursuade my wife to take up the game. Two birds with one stone was my objective. We made the trip and had the best vacation we have ever had, before and since. It was magical. There was so much to do, we never did get to play any of the world class courses in the area, but we did hit almost every other attraction on the Grand Strand. On the day of our anniversary we played EVERY mini-golf course on the strip, and we swam in the ocean, we shopped and we visited the Aquarium. It was a great, GREAT day. The food, the people, even the weather was second to none. For our anniversary dinner we went to The Greg Norman Austrailian Grille. It is worth noting that I am a huge Greg Norman fan, and I was anxious to smaple the fine dinning this amazing spot has to offer. It was perfect. The meal, the atmosphere, the service. It was on par with our acctual wedding day. We did not think that it could possibly get any better. But it did. After dinner we strolled the boardwalk and overheard a local merchant say that Greg Norman himself, would be dinning at his restaurant the very next day. Not ones to pass over a chance of a lifetime, we put our departure plans on hold for the next day. We arrived at the Grille at noon the following day, and spoke to the staff to confirm that Greg would infact be at the Grille as we had overheard. They confirmed that he was enroute, and that it might be possible to meet with when he arrived. Not only did we meet Greg Norman, but we enjoyed a bite to eat, and had a great conversation with my golfing idol. What a thrill. Our Myrtle Beach experience was a trip of a life time, and we still talk about it all the time. Never in my wildest dreams could we have imagined that our first anniversary trip could have been so flawless. We will never forget Myrtle Beach, and we'll be back for sure. Who knows, maybe we'll go back for our next anniversary.
