Charleston for our guests, and that
means creating memorable moments
both on and off the peninsula. Playing
a round of golf at the stunning Pa-
triots Point Links in Mount Pleasant
with our chefs is a unique and engag-
ing way to enjoy the fresh air, sport,
food and drink up close and personal
with our favorite chefs.”
She called Mount Pleasant “a beau-
tiful part of Charleston County” and
added that the Festival is “delighted”
to offer a number of great events
across the Ravenel Bridge, including
Clammer Dave’s Oyster Roast on
Saturday, March 7 and Toasted: The
Festival Finale, on Sunday, March 8.
Zettler said she’s certain the Golf
Classic will appeal to chefs since it was
created at their request. She predicted
that those joining in the experience
will be a mix of golfers, food lovers and
anyone who wants “one-on-one time
to connect with their favorite chef.” It
is anticipated that 40 players will be
paired in foursomes with 40 chefs.
A little about Patriots Point Golf
Links: With four sets of tees ranging
from 5,100 to 7,000 yards, play-
ers of all skill levels can attack the
Willard Byrd-designed links course.
Opened in 1979, the course fea-
tures perhaps the best par 3 in the
region, the beautiful 17th, which is
perennially awarded “Best Par 3 in
the Lowcountry.” An island green
is poised in the Charleston Harbor
with a backdrop of sweeping vistas
of Fort Sumter, Shem Creek and
the historic downtown Charleston
skyline. The ever-changing winds
that typically sweep across the harbor
can make the course take on a com-
pletely different perspective from one
day to the next. Patriots Point was
rated “South Carolina Course of the
Year for 2001” by the National Golf
Course Owners Association.
To sign up for the golf tourna-
down to the event – or simply search
the event title on the website’s navi-
gation bar. If golfers have a specific
partner they would like to play with,
add his or her name in the “Notes”
field of the ticket purchase.
By the way, for non-golfers, that
“snowman” mentioned at the top of
the story is a term for a score of eight
strokes on one hole. That’s not good,
but there probably won’t be too many
people worrying about their score.
