Myrtle Beach Golf - Quantity & QualityWritten by Ernie Horning
Myrtle Beach is best of both worlds for every golfer, QUALITY and QUANTITY. The Grand Strand has over 120 courses designed by best in game: Dye, Jones, Nicklaus, Palmer, and Fazio to name a few. Over 1 Million golfers played there in 2004. You will find largest assortment of quality courses to test your game, both mentally and physically.Ten years ago, our group of relatives, friends, and friends of friends, began our now yearly trek to this golf capital of world. Although our line-up of players and courses alters slightly from year to year, one constant remains, that is great golf bargains we have found in this golf mecca. Planning for next years trip begins even before we putt out on 18th hole of our final day. We don't want it to end, and we can't wait for next trip to begin. Living in northeast, we play some great courses in PA, MD, and VA throughtout year. But to us, it is all is just a warm-up to our late August mini-tour of this South Carolina beach town. With most of us approaching our late 40's or early 50's, it's one time of year wives let us indulge in a week of golf heaven, and we really get to be boys again (it pays to have picked right mate). Since we have already fulfilled our families' summer vacation obligations, and yard work is winding down, late August is perfect time for our trip to paradise. Playing Myrtle Beach in late August finds courses 1/2 to 1/3 of their premium peak season rates. Along with lower hotel fees for this late season visit, we easily justify trip. Crowds are low, most kids are back in school, and there are times when we are literally only golfers on course. Play is fast and cheap, so we have to go 36 holes! We play combinations of "related" or "sister" courses like True Blue & Caledonia. Or, Tidewater & Grande Dunes. Many combinations like these provide substantional discounts for same day play, some even offer discounts for playing both in same week. Complexes like Legends or Wild Wing, have numerous courses on same property where after a quick shower and lunch at their fantastic facilities, we are well tuned for a second 18 holes. Tee Times are in abundance for most of these top quality courses, we rarely run into a problem getting on a course. These are some of best courses in world. Where else can you play a TPC course for a replay rate of only $40-$50? The fee includes same friendly accommodating staff, cart, practice range, full use of facilities, locker room, restaurants, bar, and of course, COURSE! All for a fraction of peak season rates!

This enables both male and female golfer to swing club with ease, without experiencing a loss in power. The ERC Fusion Driver looks and feels great! How many times has your foursome stood on tee box waiting to hit, and you start comparing each others drivers? You compare grips, weight, feel, take a few practice swings, trying to get an overall feel for one anothers clubs. Put ERC Fusion in your bag for your next round, and you will be envy of your foursome. I started playing with Callaway ERC Fusion driver in spring of 2004. I had previously played Callaway C4, Biggest Big Bertha, Great Big Bertha, and Big Bertha Warbird. Although I liked my previous drivers, and hit them fairly well, none compare to success I am
