The Greenbrier was a truly special place. It exuded old-world southern charm, with impressive grounds and a wide array of activities. The golf courses, The Meadows and Old White, were both beautiful and challenging. The Old Course, where the LIV event took place the week before, was a favorite among everyone. Its tight, tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and strategically placed bunkers provided a real challenge for us. The Meadows, while shorter, had very challenging bunkers with flat, high walls reminiscent of those in Scotland. Some of us struggled to get our balls out of those bunkers, taking multiple swings. We played golf in the mornings, leaving our afternoons free for various activities. Some visited the local brewery, others relaxed in the outdoor pool, enjoyed afternoon tea, or simply relaxed in their cozy robes provided by the hotel. The breakfast at The Greenbrier's Main Dining Room was the epitome of resort dining. A highlight of our trip was the closing dinner at Prime 44 West, a restaurant named in honor of Jerry West, a WV native who played professional basketball (#44) for the LA Lakers. We were treated to a four-course meal at a private table with a view of the kitchen, allowing us to watch the chefs as they prepared their fare for all the patrons. A big thank you to Somin for planning this special trip. Susan Warzecka and Nancy Sheppard IMMERSING IN THE SOUTHERN CHARM AT THE GREENBRIER
