Toasting to MOTHER’S DAY with good friends – Bob and Pam and Sherry! CHEERS!
We had planed this little get together for some time now.
They had been in Florida for the winter in their RV.
Moving around down there and then working their way back North.
They were in a campground eight miles from the condo’
So for three whole days – we gave them a tour – but the first day was Mother’s Day.
After their arrival we went down and joined them – sitting around – talking – and we stopped and brought them salads.
Then it was for a very quick walk on the beach where they were camping!
It was so WINDY – we took this picture and headed back to the campsite.
A lot of self control in not staying on the beach for a walk! LOLThe next day we picked them up – toured our new home and discovered the drywall had been installed!
Here – we are at Oyster Rock on the ICW in Calabash N.C. where we had reservations for dinner.
A walk along the boardwalk outside of Oyster Rock – here is where the fishing boats return with their catches!Charter and fishing boats – they provide fresh catch for these places – including Oyster Rock – on their menus.Fresh catch – Flounder – broiled!Fresh catch – Mahi-Mahi! Catch of the day!And of course – down here – HUSH PUPPIES!Pam Sherry Papa Bob – a wonderful Mother’s day dinner with good friends!

A Sunday morning sunrise from our condo – in Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach – S.C. WELCOME!
On this Sunday morning we decided after church service at the new church we will be attending –
We decided to visit Ocean Isle Beach – which will be less than ten minutes from the new house!
We need to explore this area as most likely it will be where we go to.
They have a summer concert series of live music beginning the end of May.
So we checked out the stage and open seating area – it is bring your own chairs and maybe food and drink!
We walked to the community center which sits right on the beach – has bathrooms (clean) and outdoor showers plus covered picnic tables.
Beach access and a volleyball net and court. We found where the public can park for free –
and it will be a great place to take family and friends.
Close walking distance to bar and grills and shops!
One of the two walk ways to the beach from the community center – the other is a long ramp for handicap access! Well thought out and it is open from 10:00 am. to about 5:00 pm.

Thank you for reading Papa’s World – the next blog will be of The Fish Market bar and grill!
We found Sharkey’s also but will return to try that one!
We have now golfed our second course since we moved to S.C.
THISTLE A SCOTTISH THEMED COURSE WITH LOTS OF WATER
We had a chance to grab tee times at this sought after course.
The whole theme is of Scotland
with the club house and grounds
and the road onto and into the course.
This part of N.C. close to the ocean is rather flat
but they molded this course into bunkers
with six tee boxes on each hole!
I was impressed at just how much they changed the landscape.
Plus – there is a lot of water hazards here!
And something you do not see in Scotland – GATORS!
This big one was sunning itself on the back side
of a raised green – and from the fairway
you could not see it!
Good thing no had hit long
because as I walked back to line up my putt
there it was!
Sherry and Cindy also saw another one when then went to find a ball
next to a water hazard
and carefully got out of there!
It was a great course – and because of the tees we played
we avoided a lot of water where they were!
A look at one of the many many water hazards!Gator laying on the bank sunning itselfSherry hitting from the fairwayCindy hitting from fairway – they both are never in trouble always down the middleClimbing the bank to the elevated green Getting ready to tee offAnd the dawn breaking of the day we went golfing from our Lanai
We always have fun golfing with Cindy and Buck
now that we are down here – they live about 40 minutes away
so we make tee times to play
this being the fourth time we have played together
since we came down late September and stayed with them for 5 days!
Good morning Of course – part two of why we are all together Guys vs. Gals GOLF
That is what we do – and this has been on going for years !
This time we only played nine holes –
On Sunday morning – as we also had to hurry home-
change and rush to a PIRATE BAR to watch the “BILLS ” !
That is my next blog – but today – we gave strokes !
As much as I did not want to – we did ! LOL
Buck Dottie Jim Sherry discussing the course before we had to be there at 8:00 AM.Sherry putting green at Magnolia Greens golf course Buck and Cindy have lived here for I guess 15 years or more !Cindy Dottie Jim Buck greens were fast even with dew on them !While every one else was putting Sherry was chasing ducks ! LOL
The match was nine holes –
We had to give them THREE STROKES !
And two replays ( do not know about that )
Jim made that deal !
Me – after all these years
know better
they will kick your butt !
Plus – we had to use everyone’s drive at least once
Ended up using Bucks four times – mine three times and Jim’s twice.
They started us on the back nine of 27 holes The Azalea course which the 24 th. fairway runs right behind their house ! View of the 24 th. fairway behind Cindy and Buck’s house in Magnolia Greens
The gals went out first –
and we could tell if they were playing good
The antics on the green we could see and hear !
The three of us that are retired keep telling the youngsters that this is what you have to do ! YEAH RIGHT !!!!
The course was in really great shape –
and we never saw anyone until the 24 th. hole
a two some playing behind us !
Cindy Sherry Dottie selfie before they started off
The gals played well – we could tell that this was going to be tough !
We watched them tee off – all three right down the middle-
That is their game
US – it is right or left !
They took a picture on one of their drives
all three balls were right beside each other
in the middle of the fairway !
Buck Tom Jim The three amigo’s friends Jim and I go back to playing softball in the late 70’s early 80’s Buck and I 39 years We watched as all three hit this island green par three – with water on three sides they were putting for birdie!
We were sailing right along – one under par after six holes!
We were getting ready lots of chatter
We were playing good – actually making putts !
One putted first three holes !
Jim checking score That is when we started to sweat
Those THREE STROKES were going to be big in the end !
DON’T GIVE STROKES they will kill you they never lose balls and are always in middle and on the green most times in regulation ! Sherry Dottie Cindy

Jimmy – on 24th. fairway with Buck and Cindy’s house in back ground across the pond !
We had boggy’s on the last three holes
and they were watching and waiting for us on the last hole.
Giving them the three strokes
we ended up winning by ONE STROKE
and if we had not one putted those first three holes
well – as always – luck plays a role !
