Plaid Goes Gold: Inside the 50th RBC Heritage

Plaid Goes Gold: Inside the 50th RBC Heritage

It all started with a lighthouse.

Charles Fraser, the developer behind Sea Pines, knew he needed something splashy to draw national interest in the resort he was building on a sleepy sea island in the middle of nowhere. The answer, he realized, would be a golf tournament.

The first Heritage was held in 1969, while construction on the Harbour Town Lighthouse was still underway. In fact, you can see the scaffolding surrounding it in photos of inaugural champion Arnold Palmer accepting his plaque. That plaque would eventually become the signature prize awarded every April in Harbour Town, launching one of many grand traditions associated with the tournament.

One of those traditions…

Wheels Up - Travel To And From The Lowcountry Is Easy

It has never been so easy to get there from here.

Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport has spent the last few years giving its airlift a complete overhaul, courting new carriers and opening up new destinations across the country. The result? It has never been easier to get there from here. 

The “Big Three” carriers have always had their stamp on our local airport, offering plenty of options for seeing the world. And with the airport so close, travel in and out of the Lowcountry is quick and easy. For example, American Airlines offers daily nonstop departures to two major hubs, Charlotte and Dallas/Fort Worth, as well as Philadelphia and Washington – DCA. In June, they began offering a daily nonstop service to Chicago’s O’Hare International…

2018’s Top Tech Picks for the Home - Charter One Realty

Think back to what the home of the future used to look like – the far-flung notions dreamt up by science fiction back when the notion of a computer in the home seemed impossible. Back then, even the most creative of dreamers would not have been able to conjure up anything that holds a candle to today’s reality.

Look at the ultra-futuristic home of the future portrayed in the Jetsons, for example. Then compare it to the smart home of today. Video calling? Old news. Robot maids? Sorry, Rosie, the Roomba may lack your sassy sense of humor, but it clearly does a better job of sweeping up dust bunnies.

While we may not have flying cars, it is clear to see that the smart home of today is light years beyond anything we were expecting. As we enter…
