Every once and a while we like to drop a few words about something strange that happens on the golf course. I’m talking about something stranger than my swing. Here’s one your going to love.
July 4th was a great day for our family to play golf. The weather at the beach was perfect with unseasonably pleasant temperatures, clear skies and a slight breeze. We called Myrtle Beach National first thing in the morning and made a 2:00 PM tee time for Kings North.
It looked like we might have this premium course to ourselves! No other players were checking-in, the range was vacant and the starter said we were wide open. We played the front nine without seeing another golfer until we got to No. 9 and noticed a single on the green.
We made a quick stop at the clubhouse for a drink and some crackers and went directly to No. 10. Just getting out of their carts at the tee box was a foursome! They were not in the clubhouse. They were not behind us. They were not in front of us. Where did these guys come from???
I asked, “Did you just finish the front nine? Are you sure you’re on the right course?” There are three 18-hole layouts at MB National. They assured me they had just finished the front nine on Kings North.
We watched as they teed off. They were all over the place. We immediately headed to No. 11 with plans to play No. 10 at the end of the round. We tend to play quickly and had some fun dinner plans for that evening. I did not want to wait one minute on our mystery foursome.
Writing this I still have no idea where these guys came from. In fact it’s almost comical, but they must have belonged there. As they teed off on No. 10 there wasn’t any question from the ranger. However, once we finished No. 18 and headed to No. 10 tee, he was right there asking where we were headed. We quickly shared the story, had a good chuckle and finished our round.
No, I do not believe alien golfers invaded Myrtle Beach!
