Michigan Golf Journal February 2020

Michigan Golf Journal A Father-Son Golf Trip (mostly by my Dad) into the several hazards on the hole, we both wondered what made Mr. Palmer so angry that he created a seemingly impossible hole like the 9 th . The entire course had some teeth but was also the most rewarding of the tracks we visited during our trip. I’d gladly tee it up at Rivers Edge again. It’s gorgeous, in fantastic shape, and a most inviting challenge. Later that evening, our unique trip to Myrtle Beach was rounded out when we ate at “Brisket” - a locally owned smokehouse and BBQ joint. True to the theme of the trip, owner Laney Vallancey gave us a unique and incredible tour of the kitchen and meat smoker. She also shared a very powerful story about how the restaurant represents her late husband’s dream, driving her to do whatever it takes to keep the taste of Texas BBQ alive and thriving in Myrtle Beach. I expected to come to Myrtle Beach and experience great golf, incredible food, and warm Southern hospitality. I did not expect to experience all that and so much more, meeting people and hearing stories that will affect my life even outside of this trip. We set out to enjoy a memory-making Father/ Son golf trip and the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail delivered even more than I thought possible.
