My 2-year-old loves to just sit in his chair and hang out, naming everything he sees out loud to nobody in particular. “Bird… Tree… Squirrel.” I hope his penchant for doing old man things transfers over to an enjoyment of golf.

Private golf club & community rooted in an exceptional golf experience. Opening Spring 2023. Our mission: bring people together through golf.
- The 9th is a short par 4. Here’s a look from the tee, and then another picture looking back from the green. @bschneider126 @Dundee_Golf
- A gentle handshake, it is not. The 1st at OB has lots of, um, visual interest. Particularly on the right side up nearly the entire length of the hole.
- Haven't posted a picture of the course under construction in a while. But I also haven't posted a good dog photo either. Gotta give the people what they want.
- Can’t express how grateful Sarah and I are for this piece on Old Barnwell’s mission. We hope that the nuanced writing of @feedtheball shows that a changing approach towards private golf need not be an indictment of old ways, but instead, an embrace of newer, more inclusive ones.“It is about people and creating a really exceptional golf experience at a place where everyone is welcomed." The mission and identity of this new club in South Carolina will be one of openness and inclusion.
- Though tree removal has started since this picture was taken, it's still fun to imagine how holes 6-8 will drape this landscape.
- I was pretty pumped when these @RushOrderTees were delivered this afternoon. But then Emmett reminded me that looking good is about more than just the clothes you wear (or don’t wear, I guess).
- With all the shaping on 1-5, 16, and 17, it’s easy to forget about holes that haven’t been touched yet. Here is 8 tee shot (with my yellow marker poorly denoting green in the distance), and a second photo of the green site, with 9 tee above and to the right
- Quick trip to Old Barnwell this morning before meeting with potential members in Aiken. The land continues to reveal itself.
- Family Day at Old Barnwell. And then a photo of the one-shot 4th with @GrayCarlton building a true greenside hazard.
- The driveable par-4 2nd hole begs you to take on these bunkers instead of playing it safe to the left. (The skinny greensite is on top of the hill behind the hazards, to the right of the truck.)
