Golfer Receives Ultimate Golf Vacation for Himself and Three Friends, October 1-6, 2009
September 30, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Bill Sturm has overcome many obstacles in his life; stage 4 bladder cancer, a shattered hip from a car accident and divorce but coordinating a tee time in Myrtle Beach will not be a problem for the Douglasville, Ga. resident.
Sturm won the six-day Ultimate Road Trip to Myrtle Beach vacation by entering Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday’s Ultimate Sweeps contest during the spring of 2009. As the winner of the sweepstakes, Sturm and three friends arrive in Myrtle Beach on Thursday, October 1 and will receive four nights of accommodations at Anderson Ocean Club; a half-day of instruction at Classic Swing Golf School, one of Golf Magazine’s “Top 25 Golf Schools in America;” customized golf clubs and a gift card from PGA TOUR Superstore; dinner and golf with GOLF CHANNEL personality Charlie Rymer; airfare; a rental car; meals and a spa treatment,
In addition, Strum’s group will play four rounds of golf at The Love Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf; Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, True Blue Plantation and Heritage Golf Club, all of which are ranked among “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses,” by Golf Digest.
“I have played golf in Myrtle Beach probably one hundred times and can honestly say that Myrtle Beach is the best place in the country to go on a golf vacation,” said Sturm. “I am looking forward to the trip as I haven’t been to the area for a few years, due to health complications. I look forward to seeing old friends and playing with Charlie Rymer. Thank you Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday for this first-class sweepstakes.”
“We’re excited that Bill Sturm and his friends will be coming to Myrtle Beach as the winner of the Ultimate Road Trip to Myrtle Beach sweepstakes,” said Bill Golden, president of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. “Sturm has faced adversity in his life and we’re happy that such an avid golfer is the recipient of the ultimate golf vacation in the ‘Golf Capital of the World.'”
