December 19, 2013, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Myrtle Beach area golf instructor Mel Sole has been awarded “Master Professional” status by the PGA of South Africa, a designation reserved only for ‘legends’ of the game that have made significant contributions to the PGA and to the game of golf during their career.
