Greg Norman "at the beach"

Greg Norman aims to launch a string of golf academies headquarted at Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach.  He flew into and out of NMB on Tuesday for the grand opening of the Greg Norman Champions Golf Academy facility at Barefoot Golf Resort's driving range. The 10,000 square foot clubhouse is believed to be the second largest academy in the US.  It houses a gym featuring Cybex equipment, 2 classrooms, 1 meeting room, boys and girls locker rooms, 3 covered indoor/outdoor hitting bays, 6 offices and a club repair and storage area. The practice area includes a driving range that has a hitting area approximatley 75 yards long by 25 yards deep and 14 measured target greens.  It also includes an 8,000 square foot putting green, a 1,000 square foot flat putting green, a 6,000 square foot chipping green and 3 practice bunkers.  Greg Norman also has other interests in the Myrtle Beach area,  Greg Norman's Australian Grille at Barefoot Landing plus 2 golf courses, the Norman Course at Barefoot and the private Reserve Club at Pawleys Island. 
     For my readers back in Lancaster, I want to again thank the folks at The Ohio Glass Museum for their help with my book signing.  Also anyone in the Lancaster area wishing a signed copy of my book, MURDER ON THE FRONT NINE, the Glass Museum has books available for sale.
     The real estate market is still flat down here but activity is picking up.  There are a lot of bargins and cash is still king.  Come on down y'all, we're dealin!  See ya, Steve & Bev

Goodbye EG, Hello Google

 The Eagle Gazette, in it's infinite wisdom, has decided to charge for people to read the online paper and my weekly blog.  Since I figured the majority of you were not going to pay to read my blog and look at my pictures, I'm moving to Google.
     I have been trying to "make hay while the sun is shining" before all of the tourists leave town.  That means doing book signings each night at Harborview (2 18 hole Putt-Putt courses, full driving range and an 18 hole lighted par 3 course)  I am also getting ready to do book signings at the 19th Hole at the The World Amateur Golf Tournament at the Convention Center in Myrtle Beach.  That will be the 27,28,29 & 30th of August. 
     Speaking of Harborview, on Sunday the 12th of August, I was doing my book signing and a family from Cleveland bought a book from me.  He asked where I was from in Ohio, I had a hat with OHIO STATE on it, and I said Lancaster.  It's a small world!  The gentleman I was talking to was the agent of Joey Ogilvie.  Isn't that a "hoot".
     The real estate market is still fairly flat and as usual, cash is king.  Come on down, we're dealin! See ya, Steve & Bev  My website - www.stevenmcmillen,com
