All World Amateur Participants Will Receive A Year Subscription To One of Golf’s Premier Publications
August 3, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Continuing a long partnership, Golf Magazine is again an official sponsor of the PGA TOUR Superstore World Amateur Handicap Championship. The World Am, which will be held August 31 through September 4, is the world’s largest single-site amateur golf tournament, attracting golfers from 45 states and more than 20 foreign countries.
Golf Magazine will provide each of the tournament’s 3,000 participants with a complimentary one-year subscription to one of the game’s leading publications. The magazine is also the presenting sponsor of World Am Live, the event’s wildly popular entertainment venue.
“PGA TOUR Superstore World Amateur Handicap Championship golfers are some of the game’s most avid players,” tournament director Dave Macpherson said. “Given their love for the game, Golf Magazine is the ideal publication for them to receive.”
A 72-hole stroke play tournament, the World Amateur attracts golfers of all skill levels, grouping them in tightly -bunched flights based on handicap and age (there are six different divisions). Players play under PGA Tour-like conditions, though carts are allowed, competing to win their flight and a spot in the World Championship Playoff at the famed Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
At night, players gather at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, better known as the World Largest 19th Hole. All tournament participants and a guest can attend the 19th Hole where free food from some of Myrtle Beach’s best restaurants, free drinks and live entertainment are provided.
The 19th Hole is also home to a golf expo, demo areas, instructional clinics from some of the game’s leading teachers and more.
