GOLF ADVISOR ROUND TRIP SHOWCASES ISLANDS OF THE BAHAMAS
Host and GOLF Advisor Editor-at-Large Matt Ginella Explores New Providence and the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in Newest Episode, Airing Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. on GOLF Channel
ORLANDO, Fla. – The newest episode of GOLF Advisor Round Trip, premiering Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. ET on GOLF Channel, explores two of the more than 700 islands and cays that escaped the brunt of the devastating effects of Hurricane Dorian and remain open for tourism.
“The Bahamas is so special for so many reasons, but the reason why I will keep going back is the people. They are warm, welcoming and gracious,” said Matt Ginella, series host and GOLF Advisor editor-at-large. “As many of them have said to me, if you want to help the Bahamas, visit the Bahamas.”
Ginella will introduce life on land and on the clear-blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean that make the Bahamas a special place to visit. While exploring golf on the islands, he joins Gerrod Chadwell, University of Houston women’s golf coach and husband of two-time major champion Stacy Lewis, for a round on the Tom Weiskopf-designed Ocean Club at Atlantis Resort, arguably the most picturesque golf course in the Bahamas. Away from the golf course, Ginella dares to swim with the sharks and takes a paddle board to visit with some curious dolphins. He also joins local residents for a traditional Bahamian fish fry.
The episode also will provide information on additional ways viewers can support relief efforts in the Bahamas through www.bahamas.com/relief.
Each month, the GOLF Advisor Round Trip travel series takes viewers around the globe to explore a variety of destinations offering the best in golf, resort accommodations, dining and activities.
