The Shivas Irons Society cordially invites our members to join us for two days of golf and camaraderie at Chechessie Creek Club in Ocatie, SC, on Tuesday October 17 and Wednesday October 18. Plan to arrive for lunch and introductions. Following we will play golf and then gather for a wonderful dinner in the dining room.
Our host is longtime Shivas Irons Society member Charles Mitchell. Society Executive Director Ben Kline will also be attending. This event is limited to eight members.
Golf at Chechessee Creek is a very special experience. Redesigned by the Coore-Crenshaw team, Chechessee is between Beaufort and Hilton Head, SC. Included in this event is exquisite dining and on site accommodations in the main lodge.
Join us for golf and camaraderie at Austin Country Club, home of beloved golf instructor Harvey Penick and former host of the WGC Dell Matchplay Tournament. Hosted by SIS and Austin Country Club member Jeff Bowden and SIS Executive Director Ben Kline, this event will be limited to 12 golfers. We will commence on Thursday evening, October 19, with a welcome gathering to include a few golf swings at the Butler Pitch and Putt in downtown Austin along with refreshments and conversation.
The courtyard at Butler is open for biscuits, burgers and cold beer and sundry other appetizing offerings. Three-times James Beard-finalist and Butler regular Michael Fojtasek (Olamaie, Maie Day, Little Ola's) and his team provide the culinary talent.
The Main Event
The following day will start with a group lunch in the Harvey Penick Room at 12:00 noon and tee times beginning at 1:30 on Friday, October 20. If you are interested in joining, please register online.
