Myrtle Beach Golf News

The team led by PGA Tour star Harris English and musician Javier Colon won the rain-shortened Hootie & the Blowfish Monday After the Masters Celebrity Pro-Am title at Barefoot Resort’s Dye Course Monday.

For the 10th consecutive year, a sellout out crowd of 6,000+ fans packed the Dye Course to watch their favorite athletes, musicians and celebrities compete in the 21st annual Monday After the Masters.

Durham Academy shot a 289 on the Lion’s Paw course at Ocean Ridge Plantation to win the 18th annual Palmetto High School Golf Championship. The Cavaliers finished with a team total of 595, besting Edmond North High School by four strokes. (Final Championship Flight Standings)

Neither the sparkling water nor the bright white sand at Myrtlewood PineHills could stop Charles Howell III. Not when the PGA Tour star was too young to drive anything but a golf club. So probably not now, either.

Then 15 years old, Howell dominated at PineHills on his way to winning the American Junior Golf Association’s PING Myrtle Beach Classic in 1995, the second of eight years PineHills hosted many of the nation’s top junior golfers.

 The odds of making a hole in one are 1 in 12,000 or once every 3,000 rounds, which is more than most of us play in a lifetime. Statistically speaking, if you play 50 rounds per year for 60 years you should have one ace.

For most of the field, the Valspar Championship was just another stop on the PGA Tour, where $5.9 million was up for grabs on a pristine golf course and players were treated like royalty. For Big Break Myrtle Beach winner Jimmy Brandt, the Valspar was much more. Brandt’s appearance was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream and a glimpse at what he hopes his future holds.

Legends Resort is one of Myrtle Beach’s iconic facilities. The resort opened with a flourish in 1990 and in many ways that momentum has never abated. Twenty-five years later, Legends is one of the most popular golf resorts not only in Myrtle Beach but all of America. The Legends family of courses has grown to include Heritage Club and Oyster Bay, two of the Grand Strand’s premier tracks, enhancing the popularity of its golf package offerings.

Pawleys Island is the yin to Myrtle Beach’s yang.

Myrtle Beach offers a more raucous scene and easy access to everything the area has to offer. In contrast, Pawleys Island is a much more understated experience, relying on casual charm and the virtues of a quiet evening.
