The U.S. Senior Open was held at Del Paso Country
Club in Sacramento, CA in late June. In preparation for
it, Marion played many practice rounds at OCC. His
mindset was to focus on three areas: ball striking, mental
preparation and handling adversity. “I wanted to win in
all three areas,” he said.

reflections from marion
dantzler’s first US SENIOR open
Every player who plays in a USGA championship experiences
that sink or swim moment. Mounting pressure and difficulty
of the course combine forces at a given point in the tournament
and leave a golfer on the precipice of failure or glory.
During his practice rounds, he quickly took notice of
the 4-inch rough that would swallow errant shots and
vanquish the title dreams of many competitors.
The fairways were also damp, which put a premium on
distance and caused the course to play even longer than
its prescribed 6,839 yards.
However, as Marion traversed the course, he found that
many holes called for his natural shot shape – the draw.
The jitters of senior golf ’s most prestigious championship
reached a crescendo as he
walked from the clubhouse to
the range on the first day of
tournament play. “I realized
the magnitude of what I was
about to do,” Marion recalled.
“I always
dreamed
of walking
up 18 on
Sunday
at a U.S.
Open...”
The range allowed Marion to
collect his thoughts and shift
his mood from anxious to
excitement. “I wasn’t missing
a shot,” he said of his time
on the range. “I can’t ever
remember hitting the ball like
that. It certainly helped to calm me down. I felt I prepared
well. I said, ‘Let’s go see what happens’.”
Marion’s first hole of the tournament was on the 10th, a
322-yard par 4. “I hit it right down the middle and birdied
my first hole,” he said.
Playing in his first U.S. Senior Open, Marion Dantzler had his
moment during the second round after bogeying the 10th hole
to fall to 6-over for the championship. He was in real danger of
missing the cut.
On the first day, he shot a 2-over par 72, followed by a
3-over par 73 the next day to finish 5-over overall, making
the cut on the number heading into the weekend. Through
two rounds, he ranked second in the field in greens in
regulation and tied for sixth in fairways hit.
“I felt like I needed two birdies (to make the cut),” Dantzler said.
“Then, I played the last eight holes at 1-under to make the cut
when my back was against the wall. That’s something I can always
look back on.”
Marion attributed his success to the three following
tenents: ball striking, mental preparation, and handling
adversity. These three actions secured his spot in the US
Senior Open.
ALONG THE EDISTO: Orangeburg country club magazine
LABOR DAY OPENING
The club and course will be open on Monday,
September 7th in observance of Labor Day. The Men’s
Blitz at 8:30 a.m.
He got off to rough a start during the third round, but managed
to birdie the last two holes to finish 5-over for the day (10over for the championship). Sunday was the crown jewel of his
performances in northern California, an even par 70 in the final
round. “That was pretty special. My state-of-mind didn’t change,
but I just played very solid. It was sort of surreal. I always dreamed
of walking up 18 on Sunday at a U.S. Open. I just thought ‘Wow!’
I was able to accomplish that.”
What’s next for Marion?
Given his recent play, which includes a few wins on the Sunbelt
Senior Tour and an appearance at a Champions Tour event,
he’s excited about the possibilities. Right now, he’s continuing
to play in some Sunbelt events and will try to make the field in
more Champions Tour events.
Another likely goal is to be among the competitors at the 2016
U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, OH.
“After getting there and experiencing that, it makes you hungry to
get back and keep working hard,” he said of his performance at
the Open.
BUSY DAYS AHEAD
With Fall just around the corner, please be advised that
our course gets busier. When you wish to play a round
of golf, please remember to call the Golf Shop in advance
to schedule a tee time. Here are a couple of days next
month with limited tee times: Friday, September 18 and
Thursday, September 24.
FALL MERCHANDISE
New Fall merchandise arrives mid-august. The Golf
Shop inventory* includes collegiate apparel from Under
Armour ®, outerwear from Foot Joy ® and Mizuno®,
and sweaters and pullovers from our Private Label
Collection. If you see something you like that’s not
available in your size, we may be able to order it.
* Some items are seasonal and offered in limited quantitie.
If Marion manages to get to Ohio next year, he will certainly
summon the specter of his previous U.S. Open moment during
his second round. He answered the challenge then and - with
every fiber of his being - believes he can do it again.
“I can always look back on that moment. I was challenged and I
was able to meet the challenge,” said Marion.

occ junior summer
golf/tennis camp
We had a great group of 14 children at our last Junior Golf
and Tennis Kids Camp of the summer. Over four days in late
July, the kids received instruction in golf and tennis with a little
friendly competition mixed in. To beat the heat and humidity
of the South Carolina summer, the children also splashed and
swam in the pool. Each child left with a memento for the
week, a framed picture of the group. Thanks to all the parents
who allowed their children to participate and learn these great
sports. We look forward to next year’s camps.

THE OCC GREENS REPORT
It’s August, which means the aerification process to our
fairways, tees, approaches and greens is complete. These
cultural practices are a necessary evil to maintain the
playing conditions we all expect. Our goal is to have these
areas healed as fast as we can so we don’t disrupt play.
The fairways, tees, and approaches should be well on
their way to recovery after the aerification in late July. The
greens recovery will be completed before the MemberMember Tournament. We want to have the healthiest
plant possible just in case we have another cold winter.
When the fairways, tees, and approaches are completely
healed, we will apply our fall pre-emergent. The timing of
the application is important because of our overseeding.
making new friends
We are always planning for the seasons ahead. What
we do now impacts how the grass reacts and survives
growing conditions. We started the season at ¾ inch; it
was later adjusted to one inch in June. The rough height
will be raised to 1.25 inches the first week of August
and we will end the month at 1.5 inches. Cart traffic
and normal maintenance traffic on dormant Bermuda
grass can cause the turf to get thin and matted down, in
turn causing the turf to come out of dormancy late and
promote a good environment for weeds. By increasing
the rough length, we protect the grass and prevent
weeds. If you ever have any questions or concerns about
the golf course or grass in general, please ask. See you
on the course.

2015 men’s club
championship
The Men’s Club Championship was held on July 1819. The field featured 34 competitors competing in three
different divisions: Men’s, Seniors (55+), and Super Seniors
(65+). Prizes were awarded for Gross and Net scores. After
36 holes in some of the year’s hottest conditions, we were
able to crown three Club Champions.
In Men’s Championship, there were 20 players and two
flights. In the Championship Flight, Ford Blanchard
claimed the title with a two-day score of even par, 144
(73+71). This is Ford’s second Men’s Championship title.
He also took home the trophy in 2010. The runner-up was
Rocky Reed at 152 (78 + 74) who edged out Dr. Bob Varn
(75 + 77) on a scorecard playoff.
Daniel Smith won Low Net with a score of 142 (70 + 72),
while Second Net went to Ben Twilley who won a scorecard
playoff at 144 (73 + 71) over Lee Gronkiewicz (71 + 73).
Ties were broken based on final round scores.
Tim Dupree won Low Gross in the Men’s First Flight with
a score of 162 (86 + 76). Second place belonged to Mike
Crandall with a score of 168 (86 + 82). Low Net went to
Jeremy Sanders at 152 (78 + 74), while Sam Belcher was
second Low Net at 161(78 + 83).
In the Senior Flight, Rusty Shealy and Leonard Blanchard
claimed the top prizes. Rusty had a two-day score of 152

(75 + 77) to win the Championship, while Leonard’s 145
(72 + 73) earned Low Net. These two are no strangers to
victory, as Leonard was our 2012 Senior Champion, while
Rusty earned Low Net just last year.
Finally, Jake McGinnis successfully defended his title as
Super Senior Champion with a score of 160 (82 + 78) to
hold off Mike Withrow at 163 (84 + 79). Low Net was won
by Harry Mims with a score of 141 (72 + 69).

Drive, chip, and putt
qualifying
The Drive, Chip, and Putt Competition is conducting local
qualifiers for its 2016 Championship. Those who advance
through local, sub-regional, and regional competitions will
earn a spot at the national championship held at Augusta
National the Sunday before the Masters. OCC members
Guy Watkins Best and John Wren Best both recently
competed in a local qualifier held in Augusta.
Although neither advanced to subregional qualifying, John Wren came
pretty close finishing in fourth place,
missing the next stage by one point!
He did earn third place ribbons in
the putting and chipping contests.
However, as we often experience, his
driver let him down. Congratulations
on your success, John Wren, we wish
you the best of luck in the future!

THE PRO CIRCUIT
Reflections on
the british open
The third leg of golf ’s Grand Slam, the British Open, was
held in mid-July. Our resident golf columnist Lee Tant
shares his take on the stories which emerged from the Old
Course at St. Andrews as well as those shaping up for this
month’s PGA Championship.
• Zach Johnson’s triumph at the Old Course places him on
the short list for Hall of Fame consideration. There are few
who have a Green Jacket and an Open win at St. Andrews
to their credit (Tiger, Seve, Sir Nick, Jack and Sam Snead are
the others). Now that’s rarified air!
ALONG THE EDISTO: Orangeburg country club magazine
By Lee Tant
Zach displayed his trademark composure and short game prowess
in dispatching a world-class field on the game’s grandest stage.
That 30-foot bomb on the last hole to get in the playoff was epic
and he was clutch in the extra session. His birdie-birdie start
in sudden death proved fatal to the hopes of fellow contenders
Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman.
At 39 and without the length needed to compete at many major
championships venues, it’s hard to say if Zach can win another
one. However, this win places him in a different historical strata.
Zach Johnson is a client of our very own Dr. Morris “Dr. Mo”
Pickens. Dr. Mo is a sports psychologist from Orangeburg.
He’s given several presentations at the Club over the years.
Zach often thanks/credits Dr. Mo for his success after
tournament wins. The two-time major winner approaches
his career like he was running a corporation. Zach’s support
team includes Dr. Mo, his swing coach, and a statistician.
They meet annually to critique the previous year, crunch data
to identify strengths/weaknesses, and plan for the coming
season. With that meticulous attention to detail and a strong
team behind him, it’s no wonder Zach has found major success
yet again. We should all take time to assess our game the way
Zach does - David Lackey, PGA Director of Golf
• Jordan Spieth had one hand on the Claret Jug after his
incredibly well-timed long birdie on 16. I wasn’t alone in
assuming Jordan was ¾ of the way to the grand slam after
that effort. Unfortunately, a bogey on the Road Hole 17th, a
poor drive, and approach on the 18th derailed his bid.
He would have joined fellow Texan Ben Hogan as the only
players in history to capture the Masters, U.S. Open and
British Open in one season. Jordan came as close as humanly
possible without actually getting there. Don’t worry, Spieth
will be back in contention very soon, probably at the PGA
this month.
• South Carolina native Dustin Johnson’s major
championship woes continued again this year. Looking
to discard the heartbreaking three putt that cost him at
Chambers Bay, DJ shot out to the 36-hole lead with rocket
drives that overpowered the Old Course and the field.
Then, the weekend came, and with it a rapid descent from
being the prohibitive favorite into a footnote.
What happened? It was a remarkable transformation in the
wrong direction for the star-crossed golfer. He will win a
major someday; he’s too talented, but you have to wonder
how many chances he can squander before joining the likes
of Sergio and Colin Montgomerie in major purgatory. The
flipside of the argument is that Phil didn’t major #1 until
33 and now has five to his credit. I could see it going either
way for DJ.
• Please don’t play the PGA, Tiger! His game is simply not
in any shape to compete in major championships. It’s hard
to watch golf ’s once dominant force in this light. Shut it
down, regroup and try again next year.
whistling straightS country club
PGA Championship Preview
The PGA returns to the gorgeous lakeside links of
Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. In 2010, Germany’s
Martin Kaymer beat Bubba Watson in a playoff. But
the lingering memory from that tournament was the
controversial decision to assess Dustin Johnson a twoshot penalty for grounding his club in a “bunker” off
the 18th fairway. Without the penalty, DJ would have
made that playoff a threesome.
Here are my top 5 for the Wannamaker Trophy:
1. Jordan Spieth – There’s absolutely no reason to
imagine he won’t be in contention come Sunday.
2. Rickie Fowler – He’s won twice this year,
including the Players. While Rickie hasn’t matched his
incredible major record of 2014, he’s due to contend.
3. Dustin Johnson – The venue is more than
7,500 yards and he is the longest driver in the game.
The question is can he exorcise his past demons at
Whistling Straits and elsewhere?
4. Jason Day – Another great player who has come
tantalizingly close to glory in recent years and has two
tour wins already in 2015.
5. Phil Mickelson – A sentimental pick here, but let’s
not forget he finished T-2 at last year’s PGA and the
Masters.

food stories
shrimp and grits
A lowcountry tradition
The origin of Shrimp and Grits has Native American
roots, and is synonymous as a Southern staple dish. A
simple preparation that many believe started as fisherman’s
breakfast food has morphed into a chef ’s expression of a
blank canvas to create unique versions of this amazing
comfort food.
Grits refers to a ground-corn food staple of Native American
origin, while modern versions contain treated hominy. The
word “grits” may have derived from the Old English word
“grytt,” meaning coarse meal. The early American South’s
ALONG THE EDISTO: Orangeburg country club magazine

combination of influences: West African, British, Cajun,
and more lent their unique flavors and techniques to
develop it into what you and I know today.
What started out as a mixture the consistancy of medieval
style porridge, is now a smooth and sometimes creamy
vehicle that can be used for any meal of the day. Grits can
soak up a range of flavors; savory or sweet. Early renditions
were as simple as shrimp cooked in bacon grease served
over a neutral plate of grits. Now there is no limit to the
style of grits or the protein, and don’t forget the sauce!
The Lowcountry of South Carolina is particularly famous
for its shrimp and grits. Many consider the Charleston
area to be the inspirational epicenter of the traditional
dish’s beginning. Charleston-style grits are boiled in milk,
resulting in a creamy consistency. Somewhere from there,
cheese was introduced, and that brings us to how shrimp
and grits got a famous Southern reputation.
In the mid-1980s, Chef Bill Neal’s version of shrimp and
grits at Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, NC was written
about by Craig Claiborne of The New York Times. Neal
was adding cheddar and parmesan cheese to the grits with
jumbo shrimp, mushrooms and bacon. This propelled the
simple dish into the stratosphere of popularity around
the country.
Because of its versatility, there are now unlimited
variations. So much so, Nathalie Dupree (a prominent
Southern food writer from Charleston) came up with a
cookbook dedicated to the dish, justifiably making shrimp
and grits a dish for all palates.
the freshest ingredients
Here, in our backyard, The Blackwater Grille uses only
local Anson Mills® grits. Their version consists of onions,
tomatoes, bacon, and shrimp in a cream sauce. Anson
Mills is known for their certified organic antebellum sweet
Carolina corn grits. It’s one of
dozens of historic grains that
are gathered from antique and
heirloom seeds that have grown
crops for generations.
“The

This attention to detail and local
sustainability is what attracts
many chefs from across the
region to utilize Anson Mills®
grains. It makes the difference
in the dish, building a texture that is unmatched, creating
a consistently delicious local staple.
