Good NIGHT Irene!
I took this picture this morning while I was riding around DeBordieu, just south of Pawleys Island, checking on my listings and a few of the properties I currently have under contract, in case there was any damage from Hurricane Irene. Much to my delight, there were a few small limbs down, and some beach erosion, mainly on our south end, but nothing too bad. Whew!
On Friday, Jeff and I realized that our son, Joey, was supposed to fly back to Ithaca College on Sunday morning, with a connecting flight in Philly. Hmmmmm. I am so glad we made the decision to put him on a plane mid-day Friday out of Charleston. He moved into his new, improved and much bigger dorm room by 9:30 that night. Joey enjoyed his summer in Pawleys Island, but is very happy to be back at school.
We continue to pray for our friends and family north of us who are currently being threatend by Hurricane Irene.

Good things are HATCHING at DeBordieu!
This is one of the most exciting times of the year for the DeBordieu chapter of SCUTE, which stands for South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts. Now is the time when the baby Loggerhead Sea Turtles, referred to as hatchlings, leave their nests and make their way to the Atlantic! SCUTE volunteers walk the beach everyday to check on the nests, and do all they can to protect the hatchlings from predators. When a nest hatches usually at about 55-60 days, hatchlings make a mad dash to the ocean following the fluorescence of the waves as long as they are not lead astray by onshore lighting. Three days later, volunteers conduct a nest inventory near sunset. A notice is posted at the kiosk at DeBordieu’s main pool at the Beach Club giving the time and location. At the inventory, a volunteer tells visitors about the procedure and printed information is handed out. The nest contents are dug out and data is recorded. Sometimes live hatchlings are found in the nest that weren’t able to emerge on their own. Volunteers put the hatchlings on the beach and let them crawl to the ocean and ‘imprint’. At maturity, 25-30 years, female loggerheads will generally return to the beach of their birth to nest. However, recent DNA studies show some turtles will nest many miles from where they hatched.
There was a very successful inventory at one of the nests at DeBordieu last night. I love the picture of the little bitty tracks in the sand! Click this link to get: SCUTE DAILY UPDATES.
I hope you enjoy these pictures, the video of a rare daytime nester, and visit the DeBordieuScute.com website to get the entire story.
You can help loggerheads!
• Lights Out! Turn off oceanfront lights by 10 p.m. during nesting season. Lights can disorient adult turtles and hatchlings.
• Keep Our Beach Clean! Take your beach items home with you, fill in holes and leave the beach clean and clear at night for sea turtles.
• Avoid Disturbing Sea Turtles! If you see a sea turtle on the beach, crouch down and be still until she has started dropping her eggs. At that point you can move in closer, staying behind her and enjoy watching an age old wonder of nature!

There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu!

PGA Tour Pros to participate in Charity Tournament at DeBordieu
I could never say it better than Alan Blondin of The Sun News, so I’m quoting his recent article below.)
“Champions Tour member Jay Haas and PGA Tour members Bill Haas and Tommy “Two Gloves” Gainey are among the pro golfers scheduled to be at the private DeBordieu Club in Georgetown for the second annual DeBordieu Club Celebrity Pro-Am on Nov. 7-8. The tournament will benefit the S.C. Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, is sponsored by Adams Golf and is not open to spectators.
The event will feature up to 30 teams comprised of four golfers along with a touring pro, celebrity or local PGA club professional. Others scheduled to participate include former New York Yankee Bobby Richardson, Coastal Carolina football coach David Bennett, Nationwide Tour pro Tommy Biershenk, eGolf Tour pro Jay Haas Jr., and 2010 RE/MAX Senior World Long Drive champion Bobby Wilson.
Former PGA Tour pro and current rules official Dillard Pruitt is also committed to the event. Pruitt is the brother-in-law of Jay Haas, who is married to his sister, Jan. In 2008 Pruitt’s wife, Fran, lost a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis at the age of 46.
The event has a Texas Scramble format in which the best drive of the fivesome is selected and each player completes the hole with his own ball from that spot. The team’s best two individual net scores per hole will count.
For an entry fee of $1,000 per four-person team, players receive a tournament gift bag, on-course lunch and beverages, a practice round, two tournament rounds, eight tickets to both the auction pairings party and awards ceremony, and clinics by Wilson and Gainey.
For $2,000 per team, players also receive an Adams driver or two Adams hybrids. Players on teams entering before Sept. 15 receive an additional 20 raffle tickets.
Tickets for the awards and pairings events, including dinner and open bar, are $100 and may be available after Oct. 15. Sponsorships are also available. Visit www.DebordieuClub.com or call the pro shop at 843-527-6000.”
