Haha. That was just iMovie editor on my phone. I just had to add a few pictures. But thanks for the kind words!
 
Now you've got me playing around with movie editors for my Android. I've been meaning to for a while, but with the rain here and trying to stay home as much as possible, I'm now doing it.

LOL That has to be from waaaay back. I can not remember Island Green selling anything near that fancy since I have been here. Of course they ain't selling Jack now because they are closed and have been going on 5 years now. The Dunes one of the older courses here strictly private. Beautiful place overall wonderful Robert Trent Jones design. I have played it some in the past. It takes you back to golf in the 70s in North Myrtle

I’m thinking both from early to mid 90’s. Our kids were out of College when we bought the Condo in Surfside Beach.
Dunes way very nice not sure how I was able to get on there probably one of my friends who lived in MB.
Island Green had the bag with 12 balls, Tees & Divot Tool & Ball Marker for I believe $10. Sure differs from today.

Our pro shop just opened so I stopped by. Our pro thinks we might be open in a couple of weeks if the forecast holds true. The grounds super said course conditions are about 2 weeks ahead of last year and we opened April 15th last year.

Just acquired a near mint Titleist Tour Balata 90...

I now remember why I loved them so much... everyone though it was the forged club that made things like butter... but I am beginning to think it was just the ball.

I would almost put it on the DUO Soft level of Charmin...

It’s no wonder I’m drawn to the lower compression balls, who wants to hit Rocks?... speaking of Rocks I also was given a Top Flite “Tour” Balata from the 1995 Ryder Cup... still a rock.

You are going to drool over this. One of my WRX buds just sent me a box of brand new still in the sleeve PGA brand balata balls. Not the best back in the day but balata by golly in 2020. Been chipping and putting them some with an old Bullseye--- Sheer putting and chipping enjoyment---- But back in the day the Maxfli HT-100 balata was my holy grail ball

I just found one of those not long ago in a range bucket. Had an American Flag on the side of it. I seek to remember finding these on the course when I was a bag boy back in the day...

When I first started playing golf back in 1991, my buddy who was an 25 'cap would only play balata balls.  I never saw the attraction.  I couldn't hit them straight.

yeah....the public schools seem to be behind post-secondary. I work at a University and it's been closed for quite some time now, along with the others in the area.

I think they were better positioned to offer courses online than the public system. My kids schools are just starting to ramp up that capability now....

Things have slowed down at work because of this pandemic which is kind of nice that people aren't wasting my time as they would normally do.

I also missed this place but hated not being able to golf and needed a break to keep from getting jealous of y'all that can golf.

Wow. Just did a few lessons in Hebrew and Greek to see what I’ll be up against in a few semesters... and I though Spanish was difficult.

If anyone is interested, DuoLingo has free lessons for learning pretty much any language you can think of.... if you haven’t heard of it yet.

Two of ours are working on Spanish. The Spanish class I just took used Rosetta Stone, I prefer DuoLingo all day. Much easier to use, and learn from.

Good on your boy for learning 2! On his way to becoming a polyglot.

Once you learn one of the two the second is pretty easy. I was fluent in Italian and conversational in Spanish at one point. I can also speak Russian and Polish at enough of a level to get by. I am down to comprehension of reading in both at this point with Spanish and Italian. Really like that they are starting language for kids much earlier than they did when I was in school. All three of my kids started Spanish in 1st grade.

Yeah, I hear you. My HS only offered Spanish, and it was optional. Which meant to me as “Not Applicable” haha.

Different world. My daughters can handle conversational Spanish due to their jobs . Our Gkids have had Spanish forever in school and 2 of our Gkids conversational Italian due to other Grandparents.
