SHAUNA PAYS IT FORWARD
Shauna Estes-Taylor is passing along the lessons she learned
at Orangeburg Country Club from nearly 1,000 miles away.
She’s the head coach of the University of Arkansas women’s golf
team. Apparently, those were some pretty good lessons because
her team finished #8 in the country last season.
Shauna says the expectations for this coming
season – which starts this month - are high.
Everyone from last year’s team is returning
and they’ve gained a prized recruit from
South Africa. She’s ready to build on her
success and bring a national championship
to Arkansas. “I think we have the people
in place to make that happen,” EstesTaylor said. She says many of the people
who helped her career are members of the
Club. An Orangeburg native, she displayed
tremendous promise on the course as a
junior golfer and was granted an honorary
membership at OCC.
Shauna credits people like Vic Lipscomb, Matt Peebles, Dr.
Bob Varn, Marion Moore and Rion Moore for helping her
learn the game.
“I was able to get better and hone my skills,” she says. “I was
very fortunate to have the opportunity to play and practice
there and build my golf career. It was a tremendous club to
grow up through my junior and college career.”

Samantha Marks and Shauna Estes-Taylor
By Lee Tant
Shauna played college golf at the University of Georgia, where
she was a four-time All-American who helped the Bulldogs win
two SEC titles. She took home SEC Women’s Golf Player of
the Year honors in 1997 and 2000. She went to play on the
DURAMED Futures Tour for three years and had three Top
10 finishes.
In 2003, she signed on to be an assistant coach
at Arkansas. It was there she recruited a player
named Stacy Lewis. Lewis unfortunately had to
redshirt her freshman year because of scoliosis
surgery. Remarkably, once she got back on the
course, she was better than ever under EstesTaylor’s tutelage and won the 2007 national
title. Shauna received National Golf Coaches
Association Assistant Golf Coach of the Year
honors and was promoted to head coach.
Lewis was ranked #1 in the world and went
on to win 11 LPGA Tour titles, including
two majors. “She’s a tremendous young lady.
Hardest worker I’ve ever seen. I’m not surprised by her
success,” Shauna said of Lewis. She was by Lewis’ side when
her former player won the 2013 Women’s British Open at St.
Andrews.
Shauna’s teams have made seven consecutive NCAA regional
appearances and the NCAA tournament four times. The
Razorbacks have also placed second in the SEC tournament

three times. In 2014, she won SEC Women’s Golf Coach of
the Year after her team won three tournaments.
“I feel like I’m living my purpose being around the game I love
so much and impacting young people. I have a really cool job.
I miss home but I feel like I’m in a really good place,” she said.
She’s taken the opportunity to
play OCC since its redesign in
2009. “I can’t thank Mr. Tourville
enough for investing in the Club.
It’s more modern but keeps the
integrity of holes in place. I’m
very impressed to see the change
and commitment to make it a
quality championship course,”
Shauna said.
Looking back, she’s very grateful
for her OCC experience.
“I’m very
impressed
to see the
change and
commitment
to make it
a quality
championship
course”
“It was a great place to play and compete. The support of the
members was tremendous. I really built a great support system
through them. I was able to truly prepare and get in a place to
be successful at Georgia. I am very fortunate to have OCC as a
home golf course,” she said. ■

secrets from the golf pro:
Focus on Hole #1
Many classically designed golf courses present an opening
hole that is fairly simple. The thought is that allows the
golfers to get their round going in a positive direction and
rhythm before the more challenging holes. The layout here
at Orangeburg Country Club definitely fits that description.
By David Lackey, PGA Director of Golf
put the ball in play. Just be sure to avoid the 1.25” rough on
both sides off the fairway.
Hole #1 is a 376-yard, Par 4 that does a great job of warming
up the golfer as a straightaway hole with little trouble.
A golfer who slices the ball can face a slightly larger risk due to
the small grove of trees around the right rough about 75 yards
from the green. A moderately sliced drive will leave the player
in position to use most of the right side of the green blocked
by trees.
This hole is the second shortest Par 4 on the course behind
only #16. The tee shot is played onto what is possibly the
most inviting landing area on the entire course, stretching
approximately 80 yards from the trees on both sides of the
fairway. This forgiving tee shot should allow most golfers to
The ideal tee shot will favor the left side, even if it puts the
rough in play. Landing a tee shot along the left side of the
fairway enables the golfers to use a mid or short iron approach
into a deep green. Club selection is key to be at the same green
depth as the pin. ■

Blitzes will continue to start at 8:30 a.m. until November.
Recently, the topic of allowing faster groups to play through
was brought into question.
busy days ahead
In September, the fall golf package season will ramp up.
We will have some busy days this month. Please be sure to
plan ahead and call the Golf Shop to reserve your tee times.
We will always try to accommodate last-minute traffic, but
there may be some days where it is simply not possible.
October Cart Traffic
The annual fairway overseeding will occur next month. Effective
Tuesday, October 6, carts will be restricted to the rough and cart
paths only. Cart traffic will not be permitted on the fairways.
This will allow for a proper, clean and even germination of the
Rye seed. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

OCC play-through policy:
If any group is being held up by the group ahead, the
faster group will be allowed to play through. Golfers are to
play each shot with as minimal delay as possible. A delay
will cause a group to forfeit their position on the course.
For example, if a group stops at the Snack Bar during
the turn and doesn’t make it to #10 tee before the group
behind them, then the next group shall have the tee. If a
group refuses to let a group play through when requested,
then they may be removed from the course.
How to play through on the course:
When a group plays through on the course, many golfers
are under the impression that they must pull aside to
let the other group pass by. There’s a more efficient way.
Imagine a car passing another car on the interstate. The
lead car doesn’t come to a complete stop in order for the
faster car to pass. The same applies to the course.
The lead group should wave the approaching group to hit
up. Both groups should then play their next shots together.
Then, the lead group would allow the faster group to
continue independently. This method ensures both groups
are minimally impacted by the transition.

2015 PARENT-CHILD
GOLF TOURNAMENT
We had 13 teams participate in the 2015 Parent-Child
Tournament on Saturday, August 15. The teams featured a great
mix of family members with a mom and son, granddads and
grandsons, and dads and sons. The format for this tournament
was nine-hole captain’s choice. Jim Holstein and Harry Mims,
III have been friends since childhood. They both brought their
sons, Harris (Holstein) and Walt (Mims), out to the competition.
The father-son duos shot the winning score of 34 to tie for the
title. There was also a tie for third place (36) between Scott
and Charlie Habakus and Chris and Graham Wilson. The
closest-to-the-pin winners were Harris Holstein (7-9 years-old)
and Andrew Hunter (10-12 years-old). Thanks to everyone who

THE OCC GREENS REPORT
As we enter September, the Turfgrass will start its
preparation for winter time. The plant will start to slow its
growth with cooler night time temperatures and shorter
days. We will also help it out with a fertilizer application.
This application will allow the plant to store carbohydrates
for next spring.
Last winter, golf courses in the Carolinas were hit hard with
winter-kill. This is a broad term used for any turf that does
not survive the winter. We cannot control the weather, but
we can control how the plant enters into dormancy. This
is one step we take to ensure we do everything within our
power to have a successful season next year.
Graham Wilson, Chris Wilson, Price Wilson, Blythe Weaver,
Colin Weaver and Grant Weaver
We will also apply our fall/winter pre-emergent in the rough
areas. The application will provide weed control until next
spring. The overseeded areas were pre-emerged in August
and a second application will be applied in December.
We will continue to topdress the greens every week. Solid
tine aerification and light vertical mowing was performed in
late August. We will do this again in mid-September. These
practices will help smooth the surface so our overseed will
germinate evenly. Our seeding date for greens is Monday,
September 28.
If you ever have any questions or concerns about the golf course
or grass in general, please ask. See you on the course!

Changing of the guard?
PGA championship reflections
It was a great year for the majors in golf. Each event brought
its own storylines. For the first time in a long time, the story
lines did not revolve exclusively around Tiger Woods (though
that is not my basis for describing this year as great). There was
always a “Tiger-watch” to see if he would play better. When
that did not happen, there was solid subject matter to replace
it. That was not always the case in the past;
although Tiger rarely faltered. I say this not
because I am anti-Tiger. The golf industry
owes Tiger a huge “thank you” for growing
the sport. I am not declaring Tiger’s career as
being over, but there is much work ahead for
him and the clock is ticking.
The majors were great because several
players emerged to demonstrate that if
the guard is changing, then they are ready
to toe the line going forward. Jason Day
played well and contended in three of the
four majors. His gutty performance in
the U.S. Open, where he battled through
a severe bout of vertigo, illustrated his determination
to do well. Then his performance at last month’s PGA
Championship finally brought him the reward he has long
sought. On the back nine, there were a few shots that
could have brought him back to the field, which included
the formidable Jordan Spieth. Day steadied himself,
executed the “make-up” shot when necessary, and won
with a record low score of 20 under par. Given his play
ALONG THE EDISTO: Orangeburg country club magazine
By David Lackey, PGA Director of Golf
throughout the majors in 2015, I cannot say that we were
surprised to see him win.
Why were the majors great in 2015? Jordan Spieth made a
legitimate run to win the Grand Slam. That made every event
fun. Jason Day charged hard with his worst event being The
Masters. Rory McIlroy, until taking a detour
with his injury playing pick-up soccer, was
steadily present on the leaderboard.
These young players, the “new guard”, made
the year fun. Mix in Rickie Fowler, a favorite
among younger golfers, who has really
improved his game through hard work, and
golf looks to be interesting for many years.
Even better, the display of sportsmanship
and camaraderie that these men exhibit sets
a great example. Spieth, even when trying to
come back to win the PGA Championship,
was complimenting Day on his play. They
were sending each other complimentary and
joking tweets the next day.
They understand why in stroke play, the Rules of Golf calls
the other players fellow competitors, not opponents. These
young men understand that their opponent is the golf course
itself, and they all have the same goal of beating that common
opponent. They have fun playing the game, and playing it
well. Next year’s first major is only eight months away… ■

2015 college football preview
College football season is finally upon us. Here are a few
of my predictions for the coming year:
South Carolina - The success of the 2015 Gamecocks
campaign rest on two factors: the ability of QB Connor Mitch
to effectively run the offense and the improvement of last year’s
much maligned defense under first-year coordinator John Hoke.
On offense, USC has a strong offensive line and a mixture of
talent and experience at running back with Brandon Wilds and
David Williams. TE Jerrell Adams needs to step up to make up
for the lack of experience at receiver, except for All-American
candidate Pharoh Cooper. The defense looks to get a boost along
the line with a strong recruiting class led by four-star JUCO
transfer Marquavius Lewis. Jonathan Walton and Skai Moore
should be the strength of the defense at linebacker. The young
secondary will be a year older and benefit greatly in learning
from the former NFL coach Hoke. The schedule is brutal with
trips to Georgia, Missouri, Texas A&M, and Tennessee. If the
Cocks can somehow split these road games with an upset win
over Clemson, then an 8-4 or even 9-3 season is possible.
Clemson – The conversation on the Tigers begins and ends
with the health of their Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback,
Deshaun Watson. He’ll be throwing to a dangerous trio of Mike
Williams, Charone Peake and breakout sophomore, Artavis Scott.
RB Wayne Gallman will run behind an experienced o-line with
three redshirt seniors and a junior. Aside from Watson’s health,
the other big question in Tigertown is replacing many members
of last year’s #1 ranked defense, including NFL first rounders
Vic Beasley and Stephone Anthony. Fortunately for the Tigers,
many players on this year’s squad played significant and effective
9
By Lee Tant
reps in 2014 such as Shaq Lawson and Jayron Kearse. Clemson
has three of their toughest games (Notre Dame, Georgia Tech
and Florida State) in Death Valley, but a trip to Louisville this
month is a big barometer for their aspirations. If Watson stays
healthy and the defense finds its form, a 10-2 or 11-1 season with
an ACC Championship and a ticket to the CFB playoff isn’t out
of the question.
Playoff Predictions
1. Ohio State – No matter who plays QB for the defending
champion Buckeyes, it’s hard to imagine any team on their
schedule stopping the battering ram of RB Ezekiel Elliot on
offense and a loaded defense led by All-American Joey Bosa.
This is a burgeoning dynasty waiting to happen as Urban Meyer
aims to tie Alabama’s Nick Saban as active coaches with four
national titles.
2.TCU– The Horned Frogs looked like they could have given
the Buckeyes a run for their money after destroying Ole Miss
in the Peach Bowl. However, they were playing in the Peach
Bowl because they got snubbed from the playoffs. Dynamic QB
Trevone Boykin leads 16 returning starters that are determined
to get their playoff ticket punched this season.
3. Auburn – What do you get when you combine a Gus Malzahn
offense with a Will Muschamp defense and blue chippers up
and down the depth chart? You have the SEC’s 13 other coaches
scared to sleep at night. The Tigers are the favorites to bring the
SEC title back to the Plains.
4. Southern Cal – The PAC 12 South will be a gauntlet this year
and the Men of Troy should be the survivor behind Heisman
candidate QB Cody Kessler and a talented, deep roster on both
sides of the ball. They’ll have to beat conference power Oregon

club happenings
teammates past, present and
future: The Story of the Swaims
Sometimes, love begins in the most surprising ways...
Years ago, Mandy Mims was asked by her friend to play in a
co-ed softball league. She thought about it, but wasn’t sure.
At the last minute, Mandy decided to play. Unknowingly,
her decision would prove to be life-altering.
There was a guy named Ryan Swaim on the team. “He didn’t
have too much to say,” Mandy said of Ryan.
On a Tuesday night, their softball team won the league
championship. To celebrate, the team decided to go out for
some drinks. Normally, Ryan wouldn’t have gone out on a
Tuesday night. That decision also changed his life forever.
“We sat together and started talking,” said Ryan. “We decided
to go out to dinner later and that’s how it started.”
Both admitted they really didn’t know each other well before
that night.
“The rest is history,” says Mandy.
The matrimonial chapter of their history was forged on
Saturday, August 8 at the First Presbyterian Church in
Orangeburg. They held their reception, which featured more
than 200 guests, a band, a carving station and a chocolate
fountain at OCC. “It was a blast,” Mandy said.

Originally from Florida, Ryan had family from the Sunshine
State and Indiana at the festivities. Their wedding colors were
orange and gold because Mandy graduated from Clemson
University while Ryan went to Wake Forest University.
Mandy has fond memories of the Club from her childhood.
Her grandfather, Alexander Bryant, has been a member for
decades. She would often go to the driving range, play golf
and tennis, and swim in the pool. Mandy and her friends
used to float down the Edisto River nearby.
“When I think about home, I think about the Country Club,”
she said. Now, Mandy and Ryan are making new memories.
They will live together in Charlotte, NC. Ryan works in the
trade office for Bank of America and Mandy is a consultant
with TAPFIN/TIAA-CREF.
The couple loves sports. Ryan played soccer at Wake Forest
while Mandy is a former basketball player. They also enjoy
hiking in the mountains with their dog.
In fact, hiking was part of the original plan for their
honeymoon. Mandy termed their honeymoon as a
“staycation” around the Charlotte area that included a day
trip to hike around Asheville. “I’m tired of planning. I’m
about planned out,” Mandy joked on the eve of her nuptials.
Fortunately for Mandy, Ryan did the planning for a surprise
honeymoon to Key West for some relaxation, paddle boarding
and fishing instead of their staycation. “She has no idea,” he
said a few hours before their rehearsal dinner.
It’s only fitting their marriage began with a surprise. ■

SECRETS TO
SUCCESSFUL TAILGATING
It’s that time of year again, as the blistering heat gives way to
autumn. Football season – otherwise known as tailgate season
- is upon us. Even if you’re not a football fan, everybody loves
a good tailgate party. The awesome smells from the grill, the
fantastic Bloody Mary bar, and all the chips and dips make
tailgating the home of finger foods and appetizers.
It takes an army of people to pack the family truck, drive
to the stadium, unload your mini cul-de-sac, and claim
your space. Tents, fans, tables, chairs, coolers, and whatever
else you can think of (or fit) makes the trip. Within your
newly formed community, you can see how each “neighbor”
marches to the beat of their own drum.
Team branded jerseys, tents, and even chants dot the mutual
spaces you share and (hopefully) harmoniously root for the
home team. Matching table linens and cups, fancy crudité
trays, chocolate fountains… have all been seen and enjoyed
with pride.
With so many choices, it may be hard to determine what kind
of food and beverage will work for your game day festivities.
Think of it like camping out with a dozen of your closest
friends, but without the sleeping bags. Although during those
November games, the weather may compel you to bring out
the cold weather gear.
The easiest way to feed everyone, while remaining social, is to
make things that you can eat with your hands. Things that don’t
ALONG THE EDISTO: Orangeburg country club magazine
By Jay Barbour
require utensils and allow you to stand, yell and cheer with
your free hand…or have that favorite adult beverage in it!
Foods such as sliders, brats, burritos, kabobs, wraps, and
wings are great examples of easily eaten game day grub (these
are all easy to experiment with numerous flavor combinations
to please the whole crowd). Doesn’t pulled pork sliders with
a vinegary slaw and smoked brisket quesadillas sound like a
great combo for a Carolina/Texas A&M food rivalry?
It’s a lot of work to pull off a successful tailgate. Indeed,
it is daunting for many of us. If you don’t have the time
or personnel to make this happen, why not have the
Orangeburg Country Club cater your tailgate?
You can pick your order up at OCC or have it delivered
anywhere within the tri-county area (Orangeburg, Bamberg,
and Calhoun Counties). You can’t beat having the hard work
checked off your tailgate to-do list.
OCC has a wide array of buffet packages, such as our BBQ
Buffet, featuring: pulled pork, Southern fried chicken, or
blackened catfish plus scrumptious sides like creamed corn,
rice and gravy and mac and cheese. There are many more
options and custom menus are available upon request. ■
Please call Private Event Coordinator Lauren Gray at

Simple recipes to liven up
your next tailgate
Here are two sure-fire ways to impress your tailgating crew
with simple, creative, and delicious recipes.
First is the bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper. This flavorful
selection is a salty, spicy, and cheesy appetizer that is sure to be a
hit. It doesn’t get any easier than jalapeños filled with your favorite
cheese and wrapped in bacon. The recipe calls for a few twists to
set it apart, like: the addition of smoked Gouda and a pinch of
brown sugar on the bacon to complement the spicy pepper.
Next is grilled lemonade, a unique twist on the classic thirst
quencher. Caramelized lemons and fresh herbs elevate this
drink for a fresh and unique flavor that is delicious on its
own, or used as a mixer. Grill sugar-dipped lemons over some
smoky charcoal to enhance the natural sweetness. Adding
fresh rosemary to your simple syrup will brighten the lemons
and make them pop with unique herbal notes. Mix the lemons
and simple syrup, and then pour it over ice. This gives you a
great drink by itself, or you can mix it with unsweet tea for a
refreshing Arnold Palmer.
The bar at occ
For those away games, we have a fantastic place for you
to enjoy the game at the OCC Bar. Cheer on your team
as you enjoy menu options like wings or our shaved prime
rib sandwich while drinking your favorite cocktail. We
have several HDTVs so you watch that epic game-winning
drive in style with your family or friends.
Whether you pull for Carolina, Clemson or another team,
everyone can agree that the OCC Bar is the place to be
when your team is on the road. Stop by when you want a
great environment to watch college or pro games or for a
night cap after Friday high school action.
Grilled lemonade also makes for an outstanding mixer for
your favorite spirit. If you have some leftover, it also makes a
fantastic marinade for lemon chicken or pork. All you need
to do is just add garlic and olive oil. It is very versatile anyway
