Hilton Head Island has hosted the Verizon Heritage in Sea Pines since its first tournament in 1969. That year, Arnold Palmer won and Sea Pines was introduced to the world. This PGA tournament continues to be a highlight of the year for both Sea Pines and Hilton Head and brings our little piece of paradise to the forefront of the international stage. More than $84 million is pumped into the South Carolina economy annually and the tournament has provided almost $20 million to those in need, as well as scholarship money to college-bound students and support to area non-profits. 

The Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors has awarded Bill True the Silver Service Award for his 25+ years as an Island Realtor.  True is co-owner of Lancaster Real Estate Sales and specializes in home, villa and lot sales in Sea Pines, Forest Beach and Palmetto Dunes.  True graduated from the University of Texas and earned an MBA from Texas State.  He has been an island resident since 1985.
