Shane grew up in the “mile high city” of Denver, Colorado.

He made a career as being a manger, in corporate security.

Shane and his wife, early this year, decided to relocate from the ‘west coast’. They wanted to move away from high taxes, certain political views, and overall ‘rat race’. The couple visited a handful of ‘east coast’ cities, one of them Myrtle Beach. This was the area that they’ve landed in. In only 4 months they sold, packed up, and moved into a Carolina Forrest community.

He’s still being introduced to our many local golf courses; however, he loves the ‘dogleg right’ fairways of ‘The Hackler’. (he recently scored in the lower 90’s, as his career low). Shane, in his mid-50’s, (about 25 years younger than Don Lovallo), also enjoys playing ‘pickleball’.

Favorite local restaurant…. while they’re still venturing out… “Sole Italian Restaurant”. They enjoy the food, wine and conversation with the owner Frankie Flowers. (sounds like a ‘jail name’)

Favorite movie… the classic – “The Great Escape”

His Bucket List is to experience, the pleasure of buying a round of drinks, for friends after recording a ‘hole in one’

Pete grew up in Lakeville, Ma. He worked in manufacturing before enlisting in the Navy. For 18 months he worked inside a machine shop at a submarine base, in New London, Conn. He then served 1 year on the USS Tutuila arga-4 in Viet Nam, Vung Tau, and An Thoi River Boat Repair. 18 months, USS Orion as 18, Norfolk, Va. Submarine repair. Honorable discharged in 1969. Worked for Instron Corp. for 38 years before retiring, working as machinist, machine shop supervisor and a manufacturing engineer.

In 2021, Peter relocated here to be with his daughter, leaving a huge house and not having to split wood for heating. Escaping the snow, and playing much more golf.

His best score was 80 at the ‘Lakeville Country Club’. Favorite local course is ‘Valley at Eastport’, for its many challenging holes.

Peter’s most memorable golf moment was at an annual scramble event, at which he and his foursome were on the tee box, with 40 golfers watching them hit their tee shots, to an elevated par 3. It was a rowdy group atmosphere, similar to ‘The Waste Management’ event. Pete ‘nailed’ his shot, being the only one to hit the green. This feeling was even better than his 2 - hole in ones and 2- eagles!

He loves the fresh fish at ‘Socastee Station’.

He loves watching ‘spaghetti’ Westerns!

Bucket List…. Doesn’t have one! … Peter appreciates where he is in life. He survived a war, lived through a ‘heart attack’ and 2- spinal surgeries.

Final thought… ‘the middle of the fairway is over rated!’

Bill grew up in Chicopee, Mass. His scholastic achievements took him to graduate from the “University of Massachusetts Amherst”.

Bill made a career as a ‘controller/accountant’, for small businesses. Amazingly, was ‘never’ arrested for either ‘corporate embezzling’, nor, ‘falsifying tax returns!

Bill and his lovely wife enjoyed the ‘beach life’ up north. They lived in Cape Cod, Mass. until 2008, then moved here locally.

Favorite course here is ‘Willbrook Plantation’. True rolling greens and superb layout.

Back at ‘the Cape’ he once shot a 79 at ‘Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds’. We all remember the incredible ‘sleet storm’ in March of 2001 at Hyannis Port, Mass. Well, yes, that was Bill out there, swinging away. Despite getting soaked and ‘beat up’ by the nasty weather, he won his match. Kinda like a scene from ‘Caddyshack’!

Bill loves the ‘clam chowder’ at “The Claw House”, and that says a lot, since he’s from ‘the Cape’

His favorite movie is “The Departed”, or as a ‘Masshole”, (his words), “The DepaHted”.

Bill Noyes (Walt’s - younger brother)

The Noyes family, choose the city of Baltimore, to call ‘home base’.

Growing up in Maryland, a ‘young’ Walt, realizing he needed cash to enjoy the ‘finer things’, (beer), in his life, took his skills to … ‘apple picking’. At $25.00 per basket, he quickly excelled quickly, by using his ‘2 hands and 10 fingers’, to ‘pick’. And by the end of the day, he had almost 2 baskets filled! however, after many long years, he moved on…

Walt became a very successful “professional land surveyor”. In the early 70’s, he was commissioned by a young ‘Elon Musk’, to develop a piece of property, designed for a future “Tesla” factory --- on the ‘moon’! …. Plans were ‘scrapped’ when it was that found out that Walt was ‘too tall’, to fit into a ‘spacesuit’.

While still a ‘part time consultant’, (ask him for a ‘business card’, who doesn’t need a “professional land surveyor”?), Walt still finds time to play local golf. Despite his ‘low handicap’, his ‘favorite’ course is ‘Myrtle Beach National – West’. (he says….“it’s harder to lose my golf ball”).

He worked part time, at the local ‘Top Golf’ as a ‘net repairman’. While working there he realized ‘a love’ for the game. He joined the ‘African Goofer League’ and lowered his handicap to a respectable 23, (similar to Jim Kearny in our league)!

ONE MAJOR MISTAKE…. He was seen, giving himself many, many… “Gimmes”. This was not acceptable! The president of the league, also named Richie, performed some kind of ‘Voodoo’ on him and ‘shrunk his head’!

Harry’s next acting job was in the classic movie, “Beetlejuice”. (sad news – don’t look for Harry in the upcoming movie, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”, [Sept. 6, 2024 release]. He demanded to be paid in Bitcoin)

In the early 90’s, Chalie was approached by a Hollywood producer to ‘drive a bus’, in the movie “Speed”, starring Keanu Reeves. Chalie choose not to be part of the movie, as he needed to die his hair black and lose 75 lbs.

Bucket Lists… * “Live… till I die” - (Yogism?)

Early years, Walt grew up in Philly. He and his wife raised their family in Cherry Hill, N.J. Retired and relocated to Cape Coral, Fl. --- Luckily, Cape Coral didn’t ‘stick’, so they moved here in 2013, avoiding ‘Hurricane Ian’- 2022!

Walter was a ‘quality control’ manger, early in his career. Ever so ‘handy’ around the house, he soon opened up his own ‘home improvement’ company. This led to an opportunity to cash in by ‘flipping houses’!

Favorite golf course is, like many….. ‘Arrowhead’

Walt once logged an 84, at the ‘International’.

almost, almost, almost…… a ‘hole in one’ (missing by only 4 inches!)

When it’s time for ‘tender ribs’, it’s ‘Greg’s Cabana Bar & Grill’

Locking into a movie….. ‘Jurassic Park’

‘Bucket List’…. traveling with his wife, across the U.S.A. / visiting his grandkids in the ‘Cayman Islands’ / and finally, a ‘hole in one’ – even with the Goofers, from the ‘front tees’. [some have scoffed at that accomplishment… yeah you - Lovallo!]

After graduating from High School in Bethesda, Maryland, Gordon enlisted in the U.S. Army. While serving 3 years he was ordered to Germany, on a troopship, to keep personnel records for 1st Bu, 7th Inf., 3rd Inf. Div. (Army stuff)

He returned to ‘the states’ as a Director of the Patient Unit of the ‘Washington Hospital’, for the next 20 years. ‘Gordo’ finished his career as a ‘big shot’ at Fed Ex, supervising the filming of “Cast Away”, with Tom Hanks.

He and his wife moved locally in 2013.

Richie, (our ‘Goofer’ commander), was looking for an honest “Treasurer”, to handle all of the event payoffs. Gordon, between jobs, worked as a ‘mutual clerk’ at a local Greyhound Racetrack. He proved that he could add and subtract, and so…. ‘perfect fit’, the rest is history.

Three - ‘challenging’ courses, that he adores… ‘Heritage’, ‘Litchfield’ and ‘Legends - Moorland’.
He enjoys the memories of (3), Hole in Ones!

Growing up in Maryland, his ‘go to’ meal has been ‘crabcakes’. “Hippie Hen House” and “Bonefish”, both excel at serving them.

Gordon Garrett is a ‘stout’ conservative. You might have seen, on many courses, golf balls with, written boldly in Red - “TRUMP / 2024”……. “R. R.” (Ronald Reagan) tattooed on his neck! ….. he bleeds in RED.

One, of only a few…. he No Longer has a ‘Bucket List’. He and his wife have enjoyed ‘81’ cruises, visiting ‘54’ countries. The trick is to ‘stay healthy’ and drink plenty of “Kendall Jackson Chardonay”.

Grew up in Enfield, Ct., graduating from Enfield High School in ‘69’, digging the sounds of “John Cougar Mellencamp”. He enlisted in the Naval Reserve, serving 6 years, (remember… Viet Nam era), spending 2 years of active duty on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (1971-1972).

Ray began a career working for Southern New England Telephone. His first job was ‘collecting’ from ‘pay phones’. He progressed to ‘installations’, at first ‘residential’, years later, ‘business’. After many years of ‘industry mergers’, he settled in as a ‘sales support technician’, for Verizon Business, retiring in 2012.

He moved here, from Vernon, Ct., to Myrtle Beach in 2015, with his lovely wife Anne Marie. Escaping the snow and high taxes.

His favorite ‘local’ course… ‘Blackmoor Golf Club’. It happens to be the closest golf course, to where he lives. He also enjoys the ‘right-handed’ dog legs, favoring his ‘carved’ tee shots.

Ray once shot an 84 at Founders Club. Another highlight, an ‘Eagle’ at the difficult 13th hole, at ‘Whispering Pines’. (The airplanes flying from the nearby airport, never ‘broke his concentration’.)

He loves the food at “J Peters” - however, they don’t serve, Budweiser! (the good ole one – in the red can). So, ANY restaurant that serves “Bud” is his ‘favorite’!

Ray enjoys watching the “Top Gun” movies. It reminds him of his years on the carrier ‘FDR’.

Bucket List… enjoying his first ‘hole in one’

Bob Lohmeyer

Phil has NO favorite course down here. He appreciates, the challenger, of every course, in the
area.

“Burning Ridge” once had a golfer log, ‘6 pars in a row’! … scoring an 84 ! - YES… you guessed
it!.... It was Phil!

Hole in One…. (not yet), but he has ‘holed out’, from beyond 150yds., multiple times in the
‘Goofer’ league.

Phil can eat at ‘Dagwoods”, breakfast, lunch and supper. They bake their own bread and rolls.
(the staff recently taught him how to ‘knead’ the bread. Just in case they need a day off).
