Charleston is the home of America's first golf course and private golf club. Established in 1786, The South Carolina Golf Club came into existence and the associated course, Harleston Green, was completed. No longer in existence, the prominence of the Charleston coast in the golf world began with Harleston Green and the 1991 Ryder Cup on Kiawah Island's Ocean Course cemented Charleston's place in golf lore. Check out this complete list of golf courses in the Charleston area for more information.         The North Charleston Lowgators Basketball   Part of The NBA's newly formed farm system, The National Basketball Developmental League, The North Charleston Lowgators came into existence in 2001. The Lowgator's claim to fame so far is that they were part of an ESPN miniseries/documentary that followed the team for several weeks detailing the hardships of minor-league athletes striving to achieve the next level in their profession. The Lowgators provide an affordable night out for an entire family. For more on the Lowgators, including their schedule, visit www.nba.com/nbdl/ncharleston/.     South Carolina Stingrays Hockey Hockey is alive and well here in the Lowcountry, and the Stingrays are establishing a tradition as a winner. With two Kelly Cup titles as East Coast Hockey League champs since the establishment of the franchise in 1993, the Stingrays provide an exciting way to spend a mild Lowcountry winter evening. It may be colder in the rink than it is outside! For more information, visit www.stingrayshockey.com.     The Charleston Riverdogs Baseball   The Charleston Riverdogs came into existence in the 1994 under the colorful and creative ownership of Michael Veeck. Veeck is renowned for his ability to make minor-league ball clubs financially viable and for keeping the ballpark atmosphere fun. Some of his promotions include one dollar admission night, Tania Harding autographed baseball night, and zero attendance night, which featured a party in the parking lot and guards at the gates denying admission until attendance was officially recorded in the sixth inning. The Riverdogs ballpark, Joe Riley Stadium, is a wonderful facility that is not to be missed. For more on the Riverdogs, including their schedule, visit www.riverdogs.com.     The Charleston Battery Soccer   The Battery came into existence in 1997 as a new team in the USISL outdoor league.

Oyster roasts are a popular late fall and winter past time and are commonly held as church functions or for charity. Individual harvesting of oysters and clams for personal consumption is a great local pastime. Harvesting is done by hand at low tide at designated Public Oyster Grounds. A stamp is required from the South Carolina Marine Recreational Fisheries. Harvesting oysters between May 15 and September 1st is unlawful as that is a critical time in the breeding and maturing cycle for oysters. Maps for the Public Oyster Grounds are available from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (803-734-3888).     Blue Crabs The Blue Crab is a treat with meat that many describe as sweet. The most common device to catch blue crab is a crab pot. This trap is set with a chicken neck or fish head. To while away an afternoon in peace and catch your crab dinner, sit alongside the a tidal creek with your bait tied to a string. The crab is lured in by the bait caught with a net. Crabbing is legal all year, but it is most productive in late spring and summer.     Shrimp Individuals can start their recreational harvest of brown shrimp by cast nets and seines in early June. White shrimp are first caught late in July or early August and are generally gone by mid October. The shrimp official baiting fishery is set by law to last 60 days and must start between September 1st and 15th.     For more information on license fees, hunting and fishing rules and regulations, contact the Department of Natural Resources 1000 Assembly Street, PO Box 167, Columbia, SC 29202, 803-734-3888 or visit their website at www.dnr.state.sc.us.           Ashley Marina Address/Phone:   33 Lockwood Drive, Charleston, SC (843) 722-1996     Bohicket Marina Address/Phone:   1880 Andell Bluff Boulevard, Seabrook Island, SC, (843) 768-1280     Bristol Marina   Address/Phone:   145 Lockwood Drive Charleston, SC (843)-723-6600     Buzzard's Roost Marina   Address/Phone:   2408 Maybank Highway, Charleston, SC (843)559-5516     Charleston Harbor Marina Resort   Address/Phone:   24 Patriots Point Blvd, Mt.
