You can't take the love of sports and especially the love for the game of golf away from 15-year-old Tri-Valley Central School athlete Rodney "Taylor" Jester.
Prior to the start of the golf season this past spring Rodney joined a threesome who journeyed to one of their favorite stops, the Swamp Fox Country Golf at Florence, South Carolina.
Jester said he heard members of the threesome comment about the reason they liked Swamp Fox and he added that the golf package certainly did provide outstanding golf facilities and economical golf at $77 per night for their motel room, golf with cart and breakfast.
The Florence area also offers some great eating facilities like the Creek Ratz and The Original Shuckers Raw Bar where Rodney commended that "my sister and I witnessed George Korth eating those raw oysters and we wanted to duck under the table when he offered us some."
Besides his love for golf, Jester is very active in Junior Varsity basketball and baseball at the Tri-Valley Central School district and is planning this fall to return to Junior Varsity football which he did not play last year.
Rodney started in athletics at the school in the Saturday morning youth basketball program and played Little League baseball until he reached the seventh grade and entered the Modified baseball and basketball programs. He was one of four Freshman to make the JV basketball team last year where he played the small forward position and was the second leading scorer on the team.
As a member of last year's JV baseball team Jester batted third in the lineup while playing two positions, short stop and pitching. His overall batting average for the season was 524 while his pitching ERA was 5.63.
Rodney is the son of Dina and Rodney Jester and gets to play recreational and some tournament golf during the summer months with both of his grandfathers.
Highlights of this golf trip to Swamp Fox Golf in South Carolina for Rodney was the special educational aspects of the game given to him by former Livingston Manor golfer and now Peducah, Ky. resident George Korth.
Korth took Rodney under his "golfing wings" and gave him golf tips and instruction that Korth has gained over his 40 plus years of golfing experiences.
Rodney noted "I play better now for what he told me and now I line up better, have cut down on my slice and strike the ball better off the tee."
"I enjoy the game of golf as it's an individual sport and requires my best ability for a winning score," Jester said.
He did not that so far the golf game has not affected his baseball swing.
Rodney said the golf courses he played in the Swamp Fox Country Golf package were, "really nice," and that his favorite course was The Players Course at Wyboo, SC.
Making the trip to Swamp Fox Country Golf with Jester and Korth was Golfing Highlights Columnist Ed Townsend from Livingston Manor.
The par 72, 18-hole Players Course is golfer-friendly and accommodates varying proficiency of play. Big, forgiving greens and wide Bermuda fairways make playing the course a joy for all golfers, however, positioning of the tees and the choice of tee box can significantly increase the challenge of play and appeal for the serious player.
Designed in 1992 by Ernest Wallace and kept to PGA standards, the course features fairways of rolling terrain, with undulating greens, large bunkers, heavy wooded borders and water hazards prominent on almost every hole. The golf course winds around the shores of Lake Marion, Lake Arbu and several small lakes and ponds within the property.
Golf on The Players Course at Wyboo is a combination of wonderful play and incredible scenery. The putting green and driving range will help you hone your game and the clubhouse has a full-service pro shop and snack bar.
The course plays 7,007 yards and the course has four sets of tees. The course plays open on the front nine while the back nine plunges deep into the woods.
Tommy Wallace is the Pro and developer of this golf facility and indeed is one of the finest southern gentlemen we have ever met and he admits with a friendly smile on his face that he has been managing this course for some 40 plus years.
Wallace noted very strongly that "Golf Packages" like the one offered by Swamp Fox Country Golf are very important to the economy of his golf course during the months of February through May and September through November. Some 65 percent of his total income comes from golf packages. Wallace says that this course was built so that the golfer could have a good time and he noted that he has a lot of repeat customers which is very important to him.
This course has a fully automated fairway, green and tees watering system which indeed helps the Course Superintendent Richard Peters to keep the course in the excellent condition we found it to be.
In almost the center of this golf course is located the 24-acre Lake Arba which makes play on this course that much more interesting.
The private developer of homes around the golf course is Bill Gregory and the course plays host to many local tournaments.
This course rating/slope is: blue tees 68.8/123; white tees 67.2/115.
Having been around the game most of his life, Wallace grew up in Hartsville, SC but spent a lot of his adult life in Myrtle Beach.

Hole No. 1 is a 550-yard par 5 with a dogleg to the left. Trees to the right and pond on the left closest to the green. One trap on the left of the green.

This Sullivan County threesome noted they have been fortunate and greatly blessed in handing all of their golfing, motel and breakfast requests over to the "Princess" of South Carolina golf, Lisa Haynes Suggs, golf director of Swamp Fox Country Golf in Florence, SC.
Lisa was born into the game of golf, her father was a golf pro, she started playing golf at the age of 5, scored her first hole-in-one at age 6, stayed close to the game through her high school and college years and became Swamp Fox Golf Director in 2004.
The three of us have quickly learned why Swamp Fox Golf has been labeled "Golf's Super Bargain," because when it comes to thinking golf in South Carolina you hear a lot about Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, but in the eastern part of the state you find the best bang for your buck with economical golf packages in one of the most beautiful and unhurried areas of our country.
Southern hospitality is also a big draw for Northeast golfers who get to play spring golf in the Florence South Carolina area which offers golf packages on 32 different golf courses.
We usually check with Lisa in the early fall about courses she would recommend and high on her list was the The Players Club at Wyboo.
We can certainly endorse that statement and enjoyed our conversation with Tommy Wallace following our 18-holes of golf. He was very proud of this facility and the opportunities this golf course offers.
Be sure to put the The Player Club at Wyboo on your list when you call Lisa and Swamp Fox Country Golf at 1-800-845-3538 for your next golf trip to South Carolina. Their web site is http://www.swampfoxgolf.com/ and their email is swampfoxcountrygolf@sc.rr.com
