37 footgolfers to compete in South Baldwin’s first pro tourneyFeb. 18 Kickin’ 4 Birdies at Glenlakes Golf Club has a national drawBy Fran Thompson

Tourney director Bryan Fulling (pictured) does not need socialmedia updates to document the fact that his chosen sport is grow-ing exponentially. He only has to list the states represented amongthe 37 professional players who have signed up to play in his inau-gural Gulf Coast FootGolf Kickin’ For Birdies Tournament on Sat-urday, Feb. 18 at Glenlakes Golf Club in Foley. (More info:251-597-3226).

The tourney will also include men’s, women’s and amateur divi-sions, with the 36 hole pro division kicking off at 9 a.m. The ama-teur divisions start two hours later.“The sport is still in its infancy, but even I didn’t realize how fast

it was growing until I went to Nationals in Orlando and 16 differ-ent countries showed up,’’ said Fulling, who played soccer and foot-ball at Daphne High. “It’s great for me and others who still have anathletic mentality and still want to be physically involved in sport.’’The draw at Glen lakes will include 2015 national footgolf cham-

pion Jordan Godfrey from California and his fellow Californian, vin-ney Matteoli.Pro players representing New Jersey, Miami, Pennsylvania, Geor-

gia, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi and louisiana will also competefor the title on Glenlakes’ par 64 course that Fulling describes aslong and challenging.

Fulling has only been playing footgolf competitively since April,but the natural athlete has already won a tourney in New Orleansand placed 2nd in the recent Southern Regionals.“A majority of the pros are soccer players,’’ he said. “Maybe they are

getting a little older and can’t run for the full 90 minutes. But thisthey can do. It’s also a good sport for golfers, but it’s not out of any-body’s range. My girlfriend and I will go play with a group of 15friends, including some who have never kicked a ball. It’s not out ofanybody’s range. Golf takes more technical ability. This is way eas-ier for someone to transition into.’’The tourney draw party will be held on Friday night at The Cove

in Gulf Shores. The post tourney party will be held Saturdayevening in Orange Beach at The Flying Harpoon II, where Fullingworks as a bartender.

The number of footgolf courses in America has grown from 20 into more than 500 in the past six years, including a second BaldwinCounty course at lakewood in Point Clear. The USA team won thesport’s first World Cup competition in Argentina last year.

“Golf courses can add revenue, and people who don’t necessarilyhave the skill or the equipment for golf can play footgolf for half theprice. It’s hitting a younger demographic,’’ Fulling said.The fraternity that he sees building among the sport’s competitive

players is also refreshing, according to Fulling. “The players cominginto the sport are from all over, and the guys coming up are build-ing a community’’ he said. “It’s a nice thing. When you go to a major tourney it’s almost like afootgolf family. That’s what people are calling it. We’re all competi-tive by nature. But then you see someone like Jordan (Godfrey). He’sjust a young kid, maybe 24 years old and a national champion, buthe is willing to advise others more new to the sport. I give him creditfor that. It’s rare to find in sports and a nice change.’’

Felder Rushing presents “slow gardening’’ program March 9 in FoleyFelder Rushing, a 10th-generation American gardener, will present his

“slow gardening’’ program during a Thursday, March 9 free lecture at 6p.m. at The Foley Civic Center, located at 407 E. laurel Ave.This program is co-hosted by the Foley Public library and the Baldwin

County Master Gardeners. local Gardening Clubswill be providing refreshments so reservations are re-quired. Please call 251-943-7665 to reserve a seat orcheck the library’s website at foleylibrary.org formore information.

Rushing’s colonial and pioneer ancestors settledacross the Southeast, bringing many plants withthem. Rushing's overstuffed, quirky cottage gardenhas been featured in dozens of magazines and Tvprograms - including a cover of Southern living andin the New York Times; the celebrated garden in-cludes a huge variety of weather-hardy plants along

with a collection of vernacular folk art. There is no turfgrass, just plants,yard art, and "people places."] Felder is the international founder of “Slow Gardening,” a highly sat-isfying approach that focuses on finding and following personal gardenbliss, using all senses through all seasons. It is a guide towards payingbetter attention to and savoring what you do, and encourages the culti-vation of locally-adapted plants grown sustainably and shared with oth-ers. Author or co-author of 18 gardening books and writer of thousandsof gardening columns in syndicated newspapers, Felder also hosts a pop-ular weekly call-in garden program on NPR affiliate stations called “TheGestalt Gardener.” Believing that too many would-be gardeners are intimidated by a crush

of "how-to" experts ("We are daunted, not dumb," he says), Felder usesan offbeat, "down home" approach rife with humorous anecdotes andgarden-irreverent metaphors, zany observations, and stunning photog-raphy to help gardeners of all styles and skill levels get past his ownbeloved "stinkin' rules" of horticulture.

The new local brewery opened up to the public in early Oc-tober of 2016 with about four beers on tap and a whole lot of en-thusiasm. Since then, Big Beach boasts a whopping 12 beerson tap, some of which have already gained popularity amongstthe craft beer drinking community in Alabama. Big Beach wasawarded not one, not two, but three awards in the “Best in Al-abama Beer” contest hosted by Beer Guys Radio in December.With Best New Alabama Brewery, Best New Stout, and BestNew IPA in their arsenal, it only makes sense to expand theirhours as tourism season on becomes more eminent. Big Beach will be opening their doors seven days a week start-

ing Monday, Feb. 27, otherwise known affectionately by localsas lundi Gras. The brewery was reserving Monday as a restday by not opening, but now that things are picking up, it’s“time to start accommodating those visitors”, as Jim Sham-burger, co-owner of Big Beach says. Big Beach will also be open-ing their doors early on Fat Tuesday in celebration of theraucous occasion at 10 a.m. Parade-goers are encouraged tovisit the brewery for a pint before and after the festivities ifthey so choose. And to top it all off, midday music from 3-6 p.m.will be provided by Bayou Rhythm, a Cajun zydeco band.

••••••••••AIRPORT AUTHORITY DONATES RESCUE AIR-CRAFT TO GULF SHORES: On behalf of the Airport Au-thority, Chairman Vic Roberts recently presented the City ofGulf Shores with keys and ownership of a dry chemical andfoam first response ARFF unit for airport use. The vehicle sat-isfies the requirements necessary to meet commercial air serv-ice standards. Scott Fuller, Airport Manager, stated “The Cityof Gulf Shores Fire Department does a remarkable job provid-ing equipment and trained personnel for airport emergency sit-uations. However, to accommodate commercial air charterservice we have had to borrow or lease a dry chemical unit toallow for this type of operation.” Fuller further stated, “by pur-chasing this unit we eliminate an ongoing challenge in dealingwith non-scheduled air charters.”

City of Gulf Shores Fire Chief Hartly Brokenshaw gratefullyaccepted this important firefighting apparatus. “Receiving theARFF vehicle was crucial to the safety and support services weprovide at Jack Edwards National Airport.” For more informa-tion visit gulfshoresal.gov.

••••••••••WEEKS BAY FOUNDATION PRESERVES 240MORE ACRES WITH SALE TO FOREVER WILD: Thecitizens of Baldwin County, and the state of Alabama, becamea little more “land rich” February 2 when the Weeks Bay Foun-dation sold 240 acres of land to the state through the ForeverWild program. The acres make up three properties situatedalong Mary Ann Beach Road and County Road 1, south ofFairhope. The three tracts will be added to the state and countypreserve area known as “The Meadows.” The Meadows is morethan 1,000 acres of undeveloped wetland habitat. The propertydrains into both Mobile Bay and Weeks Bay. Within this areaare ecosystems that support numerous plant and animalspecies. Native and migratory birds, small freshwater fish, anda variety of reptiles and amphibians all use the protected for-est. “Baldwin County is growing rapidly,” Foundation Execu-tive Director Yael Girard said. “There aren’t many coastal areasof this size left for our native flora and fauna. By working withForever Wild, we are able to ensure this area will belong to theresidents of Alabama and remain undeveloped.” In keeping with its mission to preserve environmentally-sen-

sitive habitat throughout coastal Alabama, the Foundationhopes to continue growing the boundaries of The Meadowsarea. “We have already nominated another suite of proper-ties—totaling 123 acres—to be considered by Forever Wild forthe next addition to The Meadows,” Girard said.

“land preservation is not about limiting access or stoppingdevelopment,” she noted. “More, it’s about protecting the mostcritical conservation areas—the coastal lands and waterways—from all the factors that threaten them. In addition to preserv-ing habitat for important native species--flora and fauna—theyare also controlling erosion, acting as a storm buffer, and serv-ing as a filter for pollutants and runoff.”“So much of the growth in Baldwin County is due to its coastal

beauty, its farmlands and pasturelands, and access to miles ofwaterfront,” Walter Kirkland, chairman of the Foundation’sland Acquisition Committee said. “Rapid unregulated growth,however, is not a friend of land and water protection.’’

According to Kirkland, the Foundation seeks out areas andpieces of property where the landowner might be open to sell-ing or donating the land for preservation purposes, or, mightbe open to granting the Foundation a conservation easementon the land.

I walked into my sister's kitchenand found my nephew having asnack. "Where's your mother?" Iasked."She is upstairs, said she was going

to take a shower. Hang on, let mecheck."

He stepped into the nearby bath-room and flushed the toilet. A second

later a sharp yell came from up-stairs.

"Yep, she's in the shower," said mynephew.

•••••••••When I am told, "You'll regret that inthe morning," I don't let it bother me.I just sleep in till noon.

••••••••••A guy placed an ad on a local Af-

fairs website: "I have two tickets forthe 2017 Super Bowl, both box seats.I paid $2500 for each ticket, but Ididn't realize last year when Ibought them that it was going to beon the same day as my wedding. I amlooking for someone to take my place.The wedding is at St. ThomasChurch, Providence at 3pm. Hername is Amanda. She's 5'6", about130 lbs. She is a good cook, too. She'llbe the one in the white dress."

••••••••••A lawyer named Strange passed

away. His friend asked the tomb-stone maker to inscribe on his tomb-stone, "Here lies Strange, an honestman, and a lawyer." The inscriber insisted that such an

inscription would be confusing, for apasserby would tend to think thatthree men were buried under thestone.

However, he suggested an alterna-tive. He would inscribe, "Here lies aman who was both honest and alawyer." That way, whenever anyone walked

by the tombstone and read it, theywould be certain to remark, "That'sStrange."

••••••••••A woman goes to a psychiatrist and

says, "Doctor, you've got to do some-thing about my husband -- he thinkshe's a refrigerator!"

"I wouldn't worry too much aboutit," the doctor replies. "lots of peoplehave harmless delusions. It willpass."

"But you don't understand," thewoman insists. "He sleeps with hismouth open, and the little lightkeeps me awake."

"Gentlemen, I will tell you the se-cret to my success," he cackled. "Ihave been in the open air day afterday for some 75 years now."The celebrants were impressed and

asked how he managed to keep uphis rigorous fitness regime.

He replied, "Well, you see my wifeand I were married 75 years ago. Onour wedding night, we made asolemn pledge. Whenever we had afight, the one who was proved wrongwould go outside and take a walk."

••••••••••I was having lunch with Bobby Fis-

cher, the former world chess cham-pion, and the table had a checkeredtablecloth....It took him two hours topass the salt!

••••••••••I was stunned last night when my

wife told me I was too wrapped up inmyself.....When did I get a wife?

••••••••••A woman from New York was get-

ting her affairs in order. She wroteher will and made her final arrange-ments. She had two final requests.

First, she wanted to be cremated,and second, she wanted her ashesscattered over Bloomindgales.

"Bloomingdales!" her lawyer said."Why Bloomingdales?"

"That way, I know my daughterswill visit me at least twice a week."

••••••••••“Grandpa, do you mind if I play my

new harmonica in here?” asked littlePhil.“Of course not, Phil. I love music. In

fact, when your grandma and I wereyoung, music saved my life."“What happened?” asked Phil. "Well, it was during the famous

Johnstown flood. The dam broke andwhen the water hit our house itknocked it right off the foundation.Grandma got on the dining roomtable and floated out safely.”“How about you?”“Well, I accompanied her on the

I was visiting my daughter lastnight when I asked if I could borrowa newspaper.
