WELCOME
Welcome to Sea Island !
Cherished times with friends and family — whether that be at football tailgates or holiday parties — are hallmarks of the season . At Sea Island , we are excited to watch the marshes turn bright golden-amber and enjoy some of our favorite annual events , including the RSM Classic , Reindog Parade and counting down to the New Year .
Golf is a long-standing tradition at Sea Island . In this issue ( page 26 ), we help you improve one of golf ’ s most exacting shots : the putt . Putting is about skill , like any other stroke , and our experts at the Sea Island Golf Performance Center share tips on how to improve your technique for accuracy on the green . On page 46 , we turn the focus to another crucial piece of the game — the golf ball . Take a deeper look into the science and art of how golf balls are made and learn which is right for your style of play .
If you ’ re entertaining at home this season , we ’ ve included a recipe for a delicious homemade cocktail sauce ( page 14 ), which pairs perfectly with local Georgia shrimp . This easy-to-make appetizer is a crowd pleaser .
After all the celebrations , it may be time to relax and cozy up with a good book . The Cloister Library has many options for members and guests to explore . The stunning setting and thorough selection , including just about every genre found in a public library , will inspire and satisfy even the most enthusiastic reader . If you ’ re interested in starting or joining a book club , we share some ideas for doing just that on page 52 .
Whether you are part of our community or visiting for the first time , we are thrilled to have you with us . We hope the moments you spend at Sea Island become treasured traditions for generations to come .
Sincerely , Scott Steilen President and CEO , Sea Island
