We went to Southport, N.C. before going to Caswell Beach on Oak Island – to meet friends!
We wanted to explore it a little bit more the Southport area!
What we found was the waterfront with all these places to eat and sit and watch the boats go by!
We had the best view while having lunch – and this bay is very wide – a warm breeze – a drink –
living life to the plus in retirement in N.C.
Sherry has now a collection of seashells that she has made a place in a container in the living room.
It is a stand with an old fashion metal suitcase on it and coral and driftwood under it.
On the wall is a black cursive metal sign that says “HOME”!
We can get to all three beaches here in less than thirty minutes!
This one is the farthest away.
But – we chose this one to come to because we wanted to have lunch at the Provision Company!
They do not keep track – any kind of drink!
There is a soda fountain – a bar and a beer cooler.
You just grab what you want – or get a mixed drink – then when you check out –
you pay your lunch bill and TELL them what you had to drink!
The whole place is covered in license plates and dollar bills – with names on them.
You order as you come in and give them your name.
Then grab a drink and wait outside on the deck.
They already have your order and you grab a drink and when they call your name – the table.
Then you get your food within minutes of sitting down.
If you want another drink – just get up and in our cases – grab it out of the cooler.
When you go to leave – you stop at the cashier – tell them your name –
she asks what you had to drink – you tell her and then you pay for the drinks and meal!
Simple and on you HONOR! I LOVE IT!

This really is a vista view golf course – sitting on the marsh – between Oak Island and Holden Beach N.C.
They hit it well off the tee – a 30 yard advantage –
which means we have to have a drive 200
yards or more down the middle –
a slice right was the best we could do –
but we were even with there drive – and once again – their second shot was close to the green – we had our work cut out for us!
If only we could putt!
Three putting is going to make this awful close!
Thanks to Steve – it was not his drives so much – I was matching him –
it was his ability to hit his second shot – and we would putt for birdie
only we could not putt and were taking boggie!
All we could do was try to stay even to where they hit their drives – the second and third shots saved us!
Then – all of a sudden – we started to two putt and me – of all people – sank two one putts!
GAME ON – we were coming after them!
We wasted that front nine – and we knew it would be close – and it was!
They ended up with a 85 and we beat them by two strokes!
They are just so good that they need no strokes!
so at the end I asked them about the putts and what holes they used them on?
Remember in the previous bog I said they could have two extra putts each nine!
WHAT PUTTS Elaine and Sherry said?
Did not you hear me at the rules?
You got two extra putts for each nine holes!
Well – they remembered Cindy saying something about PUTTS they said!
Yes – you might have – so next time you only get two putts!
But then you have to remember to use them! LOL
