In 1986 they bought a summer home on Evans Street and lived there until 1993. They are now in
their permanent residence here in Pine Knoll Shores.
Their home in Greenville has been turned into the corporate offices of Sunshine Gardens, Inc.
Both work fulltime and are looking forward to more free time soon. Both have hobbies in gardening,
gourmet cooking, tennis and golf. In their time off, you'll find them working in their yard or garden.
If you see them there, feel free to stop by and ask any information you'd like to know about
gardening. They'll have an herb and veggie garden and a rose garden.
They really love Bogue Sound and all the coast of North Carolina. Nothing prettier. If you want
to see a collection of nut crackers, they have at least 80 or 90.

It was my pleasure to interview Sharon Austin whose husband, Jeff, is the new golf pro/manager
of the Bogue Banks Country Club. They moved into 158 Hawthorne Drive several months ago when
Jeff accepted a position with the Club. Two kittens. Bud and Bandit, complete their household.
Sharon was born in Burlington, North Carolina, but was raised in Valdosta, Georgia. Jeff was born
and raised in Valdosta, Georgia. Most recently they lived in Ocala, FI, where Jeff was the golf
pro/manager for the Golden Ocala Country/Golf Club. Through Jeff's efforts, the Club now ranks
among the top 75 golf courses in the country.
While living in Ocala, Sharon kept busy as a docent in a science center, a member of the local
garden club, most recently the president, and an active member of the junior League. Besides all
these activities, Sharon worked for Jeff as his administrative assistant.
Although offered a position with another golf club, Jeff drove up to Pine knoll Shores to look over
the BBCC course as soon as the golf pro/manager job was announced. Subsequently he interviewed
for the position and was offered the job.
Sharon tells us that Golf is Jeff's work, hobby and pastime along with his love of the Atlanta
Braves. Sharon reads constantly, (anyone want to swap books with her?), does needle work, of
course plays golf, and takes long walks on the beach. She has already joined the PKS Women's Club
and has attended a meeting of the PKS Garden club.
Sharon says they love it here in PKS; the ocean and beautiful beach, the people and the wonderful
"safe" feeling that they get. We certainly welcome them. Judy Poit
