HS Sportsmanship is the best.

Porter-Gaud & First Baptist-separated by 5.8 miles. They have to travel 107 miles to Sumter to meet in the playoffs.

First Baptist's bus broke down on I-26. Porter-Gaud's bus saw them. They stopped.

Rivals, rode together to the game. The story.

It’s that time of the year - oyster cracker making process has begun🎅🏻🎉. Due to supply chain issues, I’m using a New England bakery for the crackers (the first demo batches were good!). Happy holidays everyone🎅🏻. Hope you’re on the Nice list and receiving some!🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

@ScottMichaux Given Mike Young was my neighbor for 17 years in Spartanburg, I have to say the best team won the ACC tournament. Go Hokies🦃

@IanSymmonds @LaurelSchool Love Laurel School!

Happy, happy to my snorkeling, sun setting watching, shark chasing, iguana loving beach buddy🏖🐠🐡🦈🦎. I love you!🎉🎉🎂🎂

AD heading to Copenhagen. Safe travels to her and the Sewanee students going abroad for the semester. Fingers crossed Covid allows them to stay for the semester. We’ll miss her (although she won’t miss the current construction at our house!). Notice how she did with 50lb limit!

One down, one to go. Taylor is happily moved in at Clemson. AD leaves Friday for Copenhagen. That leaves Michael and me for the next 6 months by ourselves with a kitchen and 2 bathrooms under construction. Wish we could go with them to escape the construction chaos🤣

Bought the Sequoia when Taylor was 1 year old. Today she takes it to Clemson for her Sophomore year🐅🚗😘

Closest I have ever come to a hole in one. 14th hole at the Country Club of Spartanburg. And yes, I made the birdie putt. A “2” on the scorecard does look nice⛳️

When in Vermont, you go to Ben and Jerry’s. We also visited the Graveyard of former ice cream flavors with an ode to one of my favorite SNL skits.

ABOIS meeting in Adirondacks - boat tour of Lake Placid last night and Michael’s 60th birthday. Kayaking with Taylor tonight! Beautiful scenery!

Taylor Ball - this is how it started - 1st day of school in 2 year old class. This is how it’s going - Debutante Ball at age 19.
She sure likes sticking her tongue out!

[Rob DiMartino @robdimartino]

Well done!

I had the opportunity to tour Hilton Head Christian’s new campus recently and I was blown away by their innovative learning spaces. Cool new campus! Congrats to Doug Langhals, Rachel Bagenstose, Dona Wood and their entire team for this exciting new campus and learning spaces.

Phil’s first major was the Masters, not the PGA

[PGA TOUR @PGATOUR]

The longevity of legends.

[Palmer Ball @PalmerBall]

Just like Augusta, our tickets didn’t make the Covid cut. We’re now 0-2 for majors we had tickets for this year😢. Your April Covid experience should mean you are good for May. BTW loved your article on what Sunday at the Masters meant for your year. Loved that annual issue!

There are 3⃣7⃣ days until @PGAChampionship starts. The Ocean Course at Kiawah was shaped by Hurricane Hugo, which devastated the low country in 1989. Pete Dye used the opportunity to bulldoze and reshape dunes he never could have manipulated without the disaster.
