PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – (February 2, 2017) – The 90 miles of what has become known as the Grand Strand, or the Greater Myrtle Beach area, has a number of different vacation personalities.
There is the bucolic setting of the northern locations, in the North Carolina towns of Calabash, Sunset Beach and Shallotte. There is the relaxed Low Country charm of the far-south areas of Murrels Inlet, Litchfield and Pawleys Island. And then, there is the non-stop action of Central Myrtle Beach.
This is the happening strip of golf courses, hotels restaurants and clubs – close to the airport, close to the major highways of 501 and 17-Bypass … and close to all of the entertainment and shopping. For those who want an action-packed golf-and-beach vacation, this is the spot … and that will become evident to all who watch the February episode of the Traveling Golfer television show.
Golf courses such as Pine Lakes International – the first golf course in Myrtle Beach – Wild Wing and Grande Dunes are feature, not only for their outstanding quality but also for their convenient locations in the center of America’s Golf Playground.
“I live in the Central Myrtle Beach area,” says Steve Mays, director of marketing for the 22-course Founders Group that dominates the local golf management scene. “It’s just so convenient to everything. And that’s why golfers stay in Central Myrtle Beach – not only to have the great golf, but also to have all of the great nightlife and restaurants.”
Show host Tony Leodora has been visiting Myrtle Beach multiple times each year for the last 30 years. He has seen the evolution of this seaside destination and enjoys each of its varied atmospheres. “When I want an action-packed golf vacation, Central Myrtle Beach is my choice,” explains Leodora. “It is great golf during the day … and great fun after the sun goes down.”
The episode from Central Myrtle Beach began airing February 1 and runs throughout the month on the Traveling Golfer network of websites … including The Golf Director Network (see full list of sites on travelinggolfervideo.com). It also will air on Monday, February 13 as part of the Press Box television show in Myrtle Beach, 5 to 7 p.m. on HTC Ch. 4. The Traveling Golfer also airs as a scheduled weekly feature show on Comcast SportsNet and The Comcast Network throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Comcast SportsNet airings are 10:30 a.m. Sundays and 4:30 p.m. Thursdays. The Comcast Network airs the show at 6 p.m. Mondays and Fridays.
As part of every Traveling Golfer show there is the additional feature, “Tech Talk”, hosted by Tour Edge Golf experts, such as President Dave Glod. With years of experience as a club maker, Glod presents an inside look at the research and development of high-quality golf equipment.
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 trips to some of the most exciting golf locations. The show repeated for the second straight year as the No. 1 Golf Television Show in America in the prestigious International Network of Golf Awards, presented at the PGA Merchandise Show in January.
The Traveling Golfer is a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 16 years of experience in televised golf. The featured destination stays on the website for one month, before being replaced by a new show. The old shows are archived for continued viewing on home website, www.travelinggolfervideo.com.
