Leopards-Chase.jpg
The road into Calabash, N.C., is a narrow, two-lane strip of pavement, surrounded by trees and a small town coastal charm that many miss without ever realizing it was there. A two-story building qualifies as a sky-scraper, and the word corporate is as foreign as John Daly in an etiquette class. Less than 10 miles away in North Myrtle Beach are 5-star accommodations, high-rise condos, and entertainment galore.

So, for the benefit of all, here are a few thoughts and suggestions that should help everyone get around the course just a little bit faster.
