Welcome to HILTON HEAD!

Hello!

Welcome to the Best Little Island on the East Coast. Hilton Head is that perfect mix of small town charm, incredible coastal history, world class dining and entertainment, outdoor pursuits, water sports, family fun and more! Plus, you’re gracing our fair 12-mile-island at the perfect time of year, when average temps are in the 70s, the sun is warm enough to enjoy the beach and the summer crowds have yet to arrive. This is our perfect slice of paradise!

Here at Island Events, we take special pride in being cued-in with our community! Hilton Head is a destination for golf lovers with more than a dozen public golf courses and nearly as many private courses. In this May 2024 issue, we examine the simplicity of golf with Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy instructor and former PGA Tour player Doug Weaver.

Also in Island Events this month we’ve got everything you need to truly enjoy your stay; entertainment, shopping and restaurant listings, safety information, maps and more. Flip those pages for dos and don’ts for interacting with wildlife, navigation tips for Hilton Head’s roads and paths, a few easy rules to remember, a guide to our beautiful parks and beaches, a schedule of HHI tides and even your May horoscope! We’ve also got our “Highlights” for the month and the Calendar of Events. Still want more?

• Obey all traffic signals and pathway markings. Stop signs must be obeyed for safety. Bicycles are vehicles and must obey SC traffic laws.

• Travel the pathways at speeds that allow for the safety of pedestrians and other users.

GOLF: Keep It Simple

The Simplicity of Golf is Amazing when learned correctly.

Ilove this game of golf! It’s been part of my family for generations. My grandfather taught his five daughters to play so well that not only were they competent, they were comfortable playing with nearly any of their peers.

His influence taught me the subtleties and simplicities of golf. He kept his instruction light and fluid. My friends usually knew more about golf mechanics, but I performed better because I knew the simplicity, the feel of the swing.

Jack Nicklaus has said, “If you learn to putt correctly your driver will improve.”

My students are often skeptical when I share this lesson, but they come around. Once they master putting, I have them write down which action items have helped. Several days later I ask them to write down the action items that helped them improve full swing. When we compare the

two, they’re always surprised to see similar thoughts.

· Relaxed grip

· Proper posture

· Alligator arms

· Close the car door

· True swing – feels like a pendulum

· Let the club do the work

Here’s an example. A relaxed grip allows the club, putter, iron or driver to do what it is engineered to do. Many golfers hold it tight and restrict gravity, restrict muscle activity and redirect the club to the wrong places.

The saying goes, “One swing and 14 clubs!” Want to improve your swing? The golf professionals at Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy can help! Come see us!

North Carolina and South Carolina PGA Teacher of the Year, Doug Weaver is the Director of Instruction at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. He conducts “Where Does the Power Come From?” a free interactive clinic and demonstration every Monday from 4-5 p.m. at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course. Volunteer for a free lesson and some will win prizes! Call (866) 455-6890 or go to palmettodunes.com for more information.
