Papa’s World – Barefoot Landing – visited again.

When we moved to Ocean Keyes in North Myrtle Beach at the beginning of the Pandemic –

One area we loved to go to and walk was Barefoot Landing – NMB!

During this time it was almost deserted – hardly any people although a lot of the stores remained open.

A ghost town with water – boardwalks – stores and only “US”!

From the open walkway across the lake – a view of LULU’S – a favorite place of ours to just go and have a drink while people-watching at the bar.

Today – it is still with only a few people in the off-season – yet all the restaurants are open and mostly full of people.

We still go there to just walk – getting in our steps.

A bunch of turtles huddled together by the shore –

There are gators here – although I seldom see them.

During this off-season they have done a lot of work replacing rails – floorboards along the entire Barefoot Landing – that decks look fantastic!

It can be a bit windy walking these walkways across the water-

but it also provides the wildlife you see!

The outdoor covered bar area of CROOKED HAMMOCK provides views of the water

while sitting in BAR SWINGS!

This day was chilly and not open to the public.

It was during that first year of 2020 that in October

we began our nine-month lease of a condo

in Ocean Keyes that during our walks here –

We saw this enterprise being built –

now when we visit –

it is here that we most often come for food and drinks!

CROOKED HAMMOCK has their own onsite Brewery and tasting room along

with large indoor and outdoor seating.

Firepit and a large stone fireplace.

A lot of games to be played and a big area for children to play.

In this picture, the Brewery and tasting room is to the left and the restaurant is to the right.

PAPA’S WORLD – BAREFOOT LANDING – VISITED AGAIN!

Papa’s World – first round of golf – some good – some bad !

Last week – I said to Sherry –

why not use Monday morning –

And go to the Par three course at Sterling Golf Course !

GOOD MORNING !!!!

We did not have to go early

as she had a video conference at 9:00 AM.

And I had some things to do –

retirement has a way of being busy –

Wondering

” HOW DID WE EVER WORK ” !

Even though we belong – we do not rest !

10:15 AM. We headed out –

I had loaded the clubs –

it was going to be a beautiful day –

HIGH 74 – Sunny – blue skies – white clouds

Sandra and Sherry

Sherry knows the owner –

Sandra through her net working

and GIRL BOSS !

She met us at the desk –

the course was open on the front nine –

The STORM

( hail and high winds and downpour )

that came through Sunday

Had brought down some trees on the back nine –

they were cutting them up

and removing them !

First hole

No problem – we only wanted to do nine as we were walking –

and it was our first time out !

Sherry first hole

No rust for Sherry –

she BIRDED THE FIRST HOLE !!!!

That is why when we play a scramble with

” GIRLS VS. GUYS “

NO STROKES GIVEN –

this goes out to my good friends

” JIM – STEVE – BUCK ” !

And Sherry’s playing partners

” ELAINE – CINDY and DOTTIE ” !

Tom

There are some long holes that if you tee off on the back tee –

you can use driver !

The course was in good shape

We had no one in front of us –

and one guy behind us –

So – we just played and walked –

A really nice breeze –

sometimes hitting into it –

and – I NEVER LOST A BALL !

Came close but I found it –

and it was playable.

The course – is good to practice your short game –

Most greens are hit able – with obstacles –

You have to FLY this one

All in all – we had a very nice round –

walking – pulling the cart –

would go back in a heart beat –

This is the second time we have played this.

Being together

” HOW DID WE EVER FIND TIME TO WORK ” ?

When you have a hobby to share –

When you are with your best friend –

When you do not care who wins –

( SHE DID BEAT ME )

Then – you know – you are in your best place !

Tom & Sherry

I hope you enjoyed our little trip –

Just another day in my life –

Welcome to Papa’s World
