BLUE RIDGE TRAIL GC FEATURED ON SEPTEMBER TRAVELING GOLFER

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – From humble beginnings as a 9-hole golf course in a remote area on the western edge of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, to a 27-hole facility that is heralded as one of the finest daily fee complexes in the country, Blue Ridge Trail Golf Course has forged a path that is the blueprint to success in the golf industry.

Since its 9-hole debut in 1992, through expansion to 18 holes in 1998 and the completion of the 27-hole facility in 2005, Blue Ridge Trail GC consistently has been ranked – by the avid golfers who play the course – near the top of all Pennsylvania courses in both conditioning and value. Now, a newly expanded and renovated clubhouse adds to the charm of the property.

For all of those reasons, Blue Ridge Trail GC is the topic of the September episode of the award-winning Traveling Golfer television show.

“It is an honor to be chosen, again, to be featured on the Traveling Golfer television show,” says general manager Duane Schell. “Blue Ridge Trail is a very special place and we value the opportunity to expose it to golfers across the country.” Schell is joined on the management team by Director of Golf Tony Barletta, who adds, “We welcome each and every golfer who visits our course.”

Blue Ridge Trail GC has seen its reach expand over the years from local, to regional, to statewide and countrywide. There are even reports about groups of Canadian golfers who make it an annual pitstop on their way to and from Myrtle Beach.

“I have been making a visit to Blue Ridge Trail almost every year since it opened,” reports Tony Leodora, host of the Traveling Golfer. “The improvements have been remarkably consistent. It seems as if there is a never-ending passion for excellence in daily fee golf.”

The September episode of the Traveling Golfer airs as a scheduled weekly feature show on NBC Sports and NBC Sports + throughout four markets in the Mid-Atlantic regions. NBC Sports airings are 10:30 a.m. on Sundays, 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and 11 a.m. on Thursdays. NBC Sports + airs the show at 8 p.m. Mondays and Fridays. In addition, the show airs nationally, two times every day, on the Fun Roads Network (funroads.tv/schedule) – in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Wichita, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington State, North Dakota, Raleigh, Orlando, San Jose, Albany and Boise markets.

Additionally, national and international expansion has taken place via the new wingding™ Network, which reaches more than 275 million households. It is available on Roku (50 Million), Amazon Fire TV (55 Million), Apple TV (40 million), Chromecast (56 million) and iTunes (28 million).

The Traveling Golfer also airs a number of times throughout the month on “Rivertalk” on HTC-4 in Myrtle Beach.

The show also airs on the Traveling Golfer network of websites … including The Golf Director Network and The Myrtle Beach Golf Channel (see full list of sites on travelinggolfervideo.com).

As part of every Traveling Golfer show there is the 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. In each of the last eight years, the show has been honored by the International Network of Golf with one of its prestigious awards. In four of those years the Traveling Golfer was named the No. 1 Golf Television Show in America.

The Traveling Golfer is a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora and his partner, Jeff Gilder. Both have many years of experience in televised golf. The featured destination stays on the website for one month, before being replaced by a new show. Alternate shows also air in a two-month rotation. All old shows are archived for continued viewing on the YouTube Network and on the home website, www.travelinggolfer.tv.
