To earn the award, the CCDI hosted a fantastic event, complete with the women dressing in period costumes, the gentlemen in their dapper best, and presentation of a “high tea” court side. The tea was followed by a friendly game of golf croquet on Dataw Island’s championship croquet lawns.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>
