We just got back from a very enjoyable long weekend with our good friends, Jasper and Eve, at their place on Kiawah Island. Kiawah is a barrier island on the Atlantic about 25 miles south of Charleston in South Carolina. Named for the Kiawah Indians who lived in the area, it is primarily a beach and golf resort. On its 13.5 square miles, there are no less than seven golf courses, including the prestigious Ocean Club that has hosted numerous PGA tournaments, including the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships. We rode bikes over to the Ocean Club, which sits beside the beautiful long beach that spans the length of the island. The wind was very very strong and playing golf must have been extremely difficult. Nevertheless, there were lots of golfers on the practice range getting ready for their rounds. Fortunately, we weren’t there to play golf. Rather, Jasper led us on a walk along the empty beach to the tip of the island. Here are some photos from along the way.
