Don't Forget About This South Carolina Golf School Destination

2005-09-26T19:36:00.000-04:00

Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head attract most golfers looking for a South Carolina golf school. Who can blame golfers for planning the majority of golf school vacations to these two great South Carolina golf destinations.

Myrtle Beach is known as the "Golf Mecca" and Hilton Head as the "Golf Island". With reputations that garner such nicknames in the golf world, it is no wonder that many people forget about Charleston, South Carolina.

However, this South Carolina golf school destination should not be forgotten.

Golfers coming to Charleston for a golf school vacation can experience the world-class luxury of the Kiawah Island golf resort or head further north for a relaxing golf school vacation at the Wild Dunes Golf Resort on the Isle of Palms.

With its world-class golf courses, world-reknowned restaurants, first-class accommodations and amazing history: a Charleston golf school vacation takes a back seat to no city - even Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head.

Next time you plan a vacation and are looking at South Carolina golf schools don't forget about visiting the "Holy City". Now if that isn't a golf nickname, I don't know what is.

Learn more about Charleston golf schools.

PGA Might Move SFB Classic and Site Update

2005-09-07T15:27:00.000-04:00

The AP is reporting that PGA Tour officials are looking at options for what to do about the Southern Farm Bureau Classic in Mississippi. The tournament is scheduled to take place Oct. 6 - 9 at the Annandale Golf Club.

The Mississippi golf course was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina.

``They have over 1,000 trees down on the golf course,'' Henry Hughes, director of operations for the PGA Tour, said Tuesday. ``They had disease in some of the greens, and they were going to re-sod four greens, which is obviously delayed now.''

Even if the course can be brought back up to playable conditions, because of the destruction and need for shelters there really is no where for people to stay.

Site Update - New Charleston Golf Store Page

We just added a new page of information in the Charleston, South Carolina golf section.

Need golf equipment or golf club repairs while on a Charleston golf vacation?

No problem. Now you can find a Charleston golf store quickly and easily with our new directory of Charleston golf stores and map links.

Ocean Isle Beach Golf Club - Closes For redevelopment

2005-08-18T08:58:00.000-04:00

Another Myrtle Beach area golf course has closed its doors. On Monday August 15th the Ocean Isle Beach Golf Club closed for golf and according to sources will become a new housing development in the near future.

Could this begin a new trend in the Myrtle Beach golf community?

Since 1999 eight golf courses have closed in the Grand Strand area. Both Calabash Golf Links and the Belle Terre Golf Course will also close soon. Other courses not closing entirely, but closing holes and redeveloping the land.

Why is this happening?

Many courses are seeing a drop in profits because of the oversaturation of golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area.

Also, the housing boom and real estate market offer golf course owners a way to make a lot of money by selling to developers.

Golfers shouldn't worry too much. Myrtle Beach golf still offers plenty of great courses and because of the competition you will still find great rates up and down the Grand Strand.

Golf Fitness - A Short Rant

2005-08-06T07:31:00.000-04:00

I promise not to rant as much as I want regarding the growing number of "golf fitness" programs, gimmicks and equipment bombarding our market.

Surely, you would become bored.

As a former trainer of golfers and now a part-time golf improvement consultant, I just can't get over all the junk that is hitting the golf fitness market.

It really reminds me of the diet industry. People see an opportunity to make a lot of money and really don't care if their programs work.

There is always an out. If it doesn't work, blame it on the consumer. They didn't follow the program correctly or "not all promised results are typical".

In the past month, I have received multiple press releases from companies regarding their golf fitness programs.

The one that caused me to write this entry - the so-called straw that broke the camel's back - promised fitness club owners a turn-key program that will give consumers "quick and measurable results" and bring the clubs a lot of new revenue.

Sound familiar?

Diets promise quick results and make the businesses loads of money.

The fact of the matter is that most golf fitness programs can increase your yardage on drives. But, in turn, you also ruin your ability to reproduce a consistent, accurate, golf shots. You also change your body in a way that invites injury.

They focus on "quick and easy","one-size-fits all", "core training", and bodybuilding techniques that just don't translate to the complexities of the golf swing.

In fact, some programs are built around expensive machines and really the whole purpose is to sell the machines to fitness club owners not to improve your golf game.

One of my clients was amazed when I improved their yardage on all shots - drives by more than 20-30 yards - while drastically improving his accuracy on all shots including putting by only using stretching techniques, a stability ball, and a dowel rod (a stick) that I bought at Lowes.

To wrap this up, remember that if it is promised to be quick and easy and uses only certain equipment along with no individual assessment - you should really just walk away.

I really fear that the onslaught of "miracle tonic" golf fitness scams and scammers is only going to increase from this point forward.

Don't fall for it. Demand better.

If you ever have any questions, please contact me through my contact form on our website.

Also, keep an eye on our golf improvement section where we will continue to point you to golf fitness providers and programs that really work.

Get Rid of Golf Glove Grunge

2005-07-22T17:29:00.000-04:00

How many times have you rolled up to the first tee, reached into your golf bag to get your golf glove and pulled out a stiff, wadded up, unrecognizable object.

I've even had a few occasions when I finally uncrumpled my glove, began sliding in my fingers and watched the leather rip and disintegrate right before my eyes.

Here's something I ran across the other day that every golfer can benefit from. Its called the G3 Golf Glove Guard.

This product clips to the side of bag, costs next to nothing, and will preserve your leather golf glove for many more rounds of golf.

Here's a testimonial I pulled off of the G3 website.

"I am a product tester, and tested your product through the PGA Tour Club about six months ago. I like it so well that I purchased two more for my gloves. I live in Deep South Texas where it gets hot in the summer time, and I soak a golf glove up in two holes, so I switch gloves that often. The G3 helps keep my glove in shape and allows it to dry natural, allowing it to keep its shape and softness. I've recommended it to my golf buddies."
- Rev. Gerald E. Parks, Lyford, TX
