Rice Planter's Chic

Southern Chic Weddings and Events was proud to be a corporate sponsor of the 2011 Rice Planter's Amateur Golf Tournament. The tournament was a wonderful success that we were proud to contribute to. The tournament week began on Monday, June 20th with a practice round for the players. Monday ended with a party under the tent on the 18th green with food, drinks, and live music by our friend, Patrick Norris. The Pro-Am was played on Tuesday and was a good time had by all - including Tim. The tournament began on Wednesday morning with players from all over the world fighting the heat for the title of Rice Planter's 2011 winner. While the heat got to some of the players, the top players finished strong with scores in the mid 60s. Wednesday night wrapped up with the annual Rice Planter's kick-off party which was a blast with skills competitions, Carrabba's catering, drinks, a simulation truck for games like Tiger Woods golf, live music, and much more. Thursday's rounds were mush like Wednesdays with lots of good scores. Things got serious on Friday as the players prepared for Friday afternoon's tournament cut. There were birdies and eagles galore on Saturday - even a Dan Marino spotting - as the player's completed their final round. Austin Cody, a Charleston local and Duke college golfer, took the prize fairly easily when it was all said and done. Overall it was a great week for all involved and a wonderful experience for Southern Chic.
