The 18th Hole on The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island.
She knows the course better than most people, and she knows all too well that a windy day will pose a difficult challenge even for the best and most experienced golf- ers on the PGA Tour. More than two decades after the fact, most golfers and golf enthusiasts still remember the epic “War by the Shore” Ryder Cup match hosted by the Ocean Course.
“I think it will be fun just to see what the pros can do with the course,” said Dennis. “Either they will play the course or the course will play them.” Being up close and personal with
the pros offers a bird’s eye view of the action, but Steve Segall, a ranger at Charleston National, has no illu- sions that he will be able to imple- ment any of the pointers he may glean from the pros while handling his marshaling duties.
“Teir horrible game would be better than I could ever hope to play my whole life; they just play a dif- ferent game,” said Segall. Te PGA Championship will
provide an opportunity for golfers from all over the world to shine, but it also will give the fast-growing town of Mount Pleasant the chance to show off. With 27,000 people per day expected to converge on Kiawah and its environs, there is little doubt
that Mount Pleasant won’t disap- point those who choose to visit other parts of the Lowcountry. As for the local volunteers, their passion for golf is matched by their passion for the community in which they live. It’s as if they feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful area that they are compelled to pay it forward. “If it’s local, I definitely try to
volunteer. It’s hometown,” said Dennis. “Tis is just my way of giv- ing back to the community. It’s nice to see the area and the course get the recognition it deserves.” While working at Charleston Na-
tional, Segall has the opportunity to meet golfers from all over the coun- try. He has heard them express many times how being in Mount Pleasant is like “living in a postcard.” Segall, who is a real estate at- torney as well, knows a thing or two about prime locations and echoed their sentiments. “It’s just a wonderful lifestyle
here,” he said. “I did a lot of re- search before I moved, and this was the greatest place I found.” “Tis is big stuff for the Charles-
ton area,” Piontek agreed. “Tis is a really nice way to showcase our life- style down here. Not that we want any more people. We kind of like it the way it is.”
Children will be taught all of the fundamentals of tennis including stroke production, match play, scoring and strategy.
