PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – (March 3, 2014) – The Traveling Golfer television show, coming off the coveted Outstanding Achievement Award from the International Network of Golf at the PGA Merchandise Show in January, is off to another exotic destination. This time theTraveling Golfer teamed up with the event management experts at The Golf Connection for the Admiral’s Cup Pro-Am on the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis in the West Indies.
The Marriott Beach Resort and Casino and scenic North Frigate Bay are home to the acclaimed Robert Trent Jones-designed Royal St. Kitts GC, which hosted two rounds of the Admiral’s Cup Pro-Am. A short ferry ride across the blue waters of the Caribbean lies the island of Nevis, which hosted one round of the tournament on the Four Seasons Resort course.
The Royal St. Kitts course is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, sometimes giving it a links-style playability with wide driving areas. “It’s enough challenge, but it’s not too much to make it unplayable for the average golfer,” says Tom Jaronski of The Golf Connection. The Four Seasons course on Nevis is much hillier and provides spectacular views of the island and the Caribbean.
“St. Kitts is an emerging golf destination that will quickly rise in stature, as more golf course development takes place,” explains show host Tony Leodora. “Expect many more golfers from the Mid-Atlantic region to find their way to St. Kitts in the next five years.”
The Traveling Golfer also takes time to visit a junior clinic run by PGA Professionals for children on St. Kitts. “This is how I grew up playing,” explains Scotland native and teacher Neil Lockie. “I think golf in St. Kitts is growing and something they should be very proud of.”
The episode began airing March 1 and runs throughout the month on The Traveling Golfer Network (see list of sites on www.travelinggolfervideo.com). It also will air on Monday, March 10 as part of the Press Box show in Myrtle Beach, 5 to 7 p.m. on HTC Ch. 4, and as part of the Inside Golf television show on Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia and Comcast SportsNet in Baltimore/Washington during the last week of March.
Responding to golfers’ never-ending demands to learn more about interesting golf courses and golf resorts across the country and around the world, well-traveled host Tony Leodora created the Traveling Golfer so he could take viewers on video golf trips to some of the most exciting golf locations.
The Traveling Golfer appears as a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 15 years of experience in televised golf shows. The featured destination stays on the website for one month, before being replaced by a new show. The old shows are archived on the home website, www.travelinggolfervideo.com.
