THE TRAVELING GOLFER HITS THE ROAD ALONG THE WACCAMAW GOLF TRAIL

July 1, 2020

Twitter Facebook Pinterest Email

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – (July 1, 2020) – There are many stops along America’s golf trails. But there may be no trail — anywhere — that contains more exciting, high-level, historic stops than along the Waccamaw Golf Trail in South Carolina.

The Waccamaw Golf Trail, named for the Waccamaw River which starts in North Carolina and flows along the coast of South Carolina, is a collection of 12 premier golf courses at the southern end of Myrtle Beach’s Grand Strand.

Many of the courses were carved from properties that were rice plantations in the ante-bellum South. All of them exude a Low-country charm that adds warmth and hospitality to the modern golf scene.

The selection of courses includes some that are ranked among the top layouts in the state and even nationally. At the same time they are set amidst the brisk social scene and impressive cultural attractions of South Carolina’s historic Hammock Coast. Located at the Myrtle Beach area’s southern end, the Hammock Coast is one of the oldest vacation destinations in America. Its bounty goes beyond award-winning golf and includes beautiful beaches, superb restaurants and shops, and an outstanding selection of accommodations.

That backdrop, along the Waccamaw Golf Trail, provides a spectacular setting for the July episode of the Traveling Golfer television show.

“People who have been coming to Myrtle Beach for years enjoy the golf and the nightlife,” explains Meredith Kirk, LPGA teaching professional and Official Spokesperson for Myrtle Beach Golf Trips. “But when they come to the southern areas of Murrels Inlet, Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island, they fall in love with the lifestyle. It’s contagious.”

While this episode of the Traveling Golfer show pays major attention to four courses along the Waccamaw Golf Trail – Heritage, Caledonia Golf and Fishing Club, Pawleys Plantation and Willbrook Plantation – there also is a look at the other eight courses along the trail. They are Founders Club at Pawleys Island, Tradition, Blackmoor, River Club, Litchfield Country Club, TPC Myrtle Beach, True Blue and Wachesaw Plantation East. Also, for the best in Low-country accommodations, there is a look at the Inlet Sports Lodge.

Full information on the Waccamaw Golf Trail can be found on the website at www.waccamawgolftrail.com.

“I’ve been coming to the Myrtle Beach area for more than 35 years,” explains Traveling Golfer host Tony Leodora. “There is fun everywhere but, when you come to the southern end of the Grand Strand, life slows down. There is a different pace and a different feel. The Waccamaw Golf Trail is the best way to navigate a vacation through this Low Country setting.”

The July episode of the Traveling Golfer airs as a scheduled weekly feature show on NBC Sports and NBC Sports + throughout four markets in the Northeast and 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, three times every day, on the new Fun Roads Network (funroads.tv/schedule) – in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Wichita and Detroit markets. It also will air a number of times in the Month of July 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 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. For the fourth time in five years, the show was honored 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 of 2020.

The Traveling Golfer is a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 19 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.travelinggolfervideo.com.

For more information about the Traveling Golfer, or to find out how a property can be featured on the show, call TL Golf Services at (610) 721-8186.
