How many times on a family vacation have you heard the words, "Honey, why don't you go play golf and have a good time"? Here's one way you can make it happen on a Myrtle Beach vacation; take him/her to Brookgreen Gardens in Litchfield Beach. No matter how your golf game turns out, you will score points at home.
Brookgreen was the home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, a wealthy couple who collected art and, in Mrs. Huntington's case, produced it. In 1931 they created a foundation to protect and display their vast collection of sculptures and other works in a natural setting of equally sculpted gardens. I have not met any first time visitors to Brookgreen who are unimpressed. Most are shocked that such a place exists in the Low Country.
I took a few photos yesterday during a four-hour stroll with my wife through the gardens (see below). And today, she kissed me goodbye and wished me to have a good time during my two days of golf in Charleston. See; it works.
I'll have reviews of Daniel Island, and its Tom Fazio course, as well as Briar's Creek (John's Island) in the coming days. In the meantime, you can follow my brief comments about my trip at Twitter.com. Search for HomeOnTheCourse.
