Summer Family Tournaments Feature Fun Golf Outings for the Entire Family with Kids Playing Free All Summer
May 12, 2006, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday has announced its Summer Family Golf Tournaments schedule for the 2006 summer season. The single-day events are designed for all ages and ability levels in a family-friendly environment. The Summer Family Golf Tournament series runs Tuesday through Friday, June 6 – August 25 at the 36 participating Grand Strand courses. The single-day events are ideal for the beginner or scratch golfer, young and old alike with no minimum age limit, or handicap needed to participate.
To celebrate the 19th anniversary of the Summer Family Golf Tournaments, all children 16 years of age and younger play for free with a paying adult this summer. Participation in a tournament costs $35 for adults (unless otherwise noted on the schedule) with the fee including a cart and the chance to win one of many contests. Each Summer Family Golf Tournament features a closest-to-the-pin and long-drive contest with prizes awarded to the winners. The Summer Family Golf Tournaments have three divisions – open, couples and adult/youth – and feature a captain’s choice format.
"We’re excited to host the 19th season of the Summer Family Golf Tournaments," said Steve Mays, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday tournament director. "In the 18-year history of the Summer Family Tournament, more than 65,000 golfers have participated in our family tournaments during their visits to the Grand Strand. The Summer Family Golf Tournaments are a great way for families and friends to spend a day on the course while they are here on their summer vacation."
