Blackmoor Golf Club | July 10th, 2026

We made our way south last week to enjoy a summer morning at Blackmoor. Get out and play this week. 🤙 ...

Everyone knows Myrt for golf: the tee times, the shortcuts, the 6 AM tips at the range.

What most people don’t know is where it started, and it wasn’t with a scorecard. It was with a scoop.

In the summer of ‘52, Myrtle Beach had plenty of heat and no relief from it.

Golfers were melting on the back nine and nobody had solved the problem yet.

So Myrt’s grandfather loaded up an ice cream truck and rolled it into the parking lot at Pine Lakes, known locally as The Granddaddy of Myrtle Beach golf. Fitting company, as it turned out.

Myrt was eight years old and already working the window.
His grandfather made the ice cream, and Myrt named it: Birdie Brittle, Sand Trap Sundae, Rough Rocky Road, all still painted on the side of the truck today.

One regular asked the kid if he actually knew anything about golf.

Myrt looked him over and said, “You’re three strokes over par and two degrees from heatstroke.

Vanilla or Rocky Road?” He was right on both counts.

For years that’s how it went, grandfather running the truck and Myrt running the menu, and golfers kept coming back for both. Eventually his grandfather hung up the scoop, put down roots, and opened a storefront instead.

Myrt took the keys and kept the menu exactly as he wrote it.
Every National Ice Cream Day since, he loads up his own truck and makes the rounds:
Grande Dunes, Pine Lakes, wherever the tee sheet takes him that morning.

Nobody knows which course he’ll hit first, so keep your eyes open.

Somebody gets lucky today.

Local knowledge. Local flavors. Local legend.

Let us know your home course below.

If Myrt’s making the rounds today, that’s exactly the kind of tip he’d follow.

Happy National Ice Cream Day ...

Can we get some @bryanbrewscoffee? @bryanbrosgolf ☕️ ...
