The Grande Dunes Resort Course, a Myrtle Beach golf favorite, will host “Play Golf America Day” on Saturday, February 20, 2010. Admission is free for the day and the first 500 registrants will receive complimentary goodie bags. Activities are open to all ages and skill levels.
Grande Dunes Resort Club's “Play Golf America Day” will feature free golf instruction provided by PGA professionals, opportunities for golfers to try equipment from leading manufacturers, and prize drawings all day.
Popular golf trick shot artist Dennis Walters, an honorary lifetime member of the PGA of America, will perform “The Dennis Walters Golf Show” at 12:15 p.m. Walters is known throughout the golf world for his inspirational and entertaining shows. Accompanied by his popular canine assistant, Bucky, the paraplegic golfer demonstrates amazing trick shots, tells jokes and relates inspirational anecdotes. His show, which is free for those attending Grande Dunes' “Play Golf America Day,” has been staged throughout the United States, earning him numerous awards.
“This is a great opportunity for people to come out and pick up some golf tips, try out new equipment and enjoy a great show,” said Frank Coughlin, general manager. “We also invite everyone to join us in our Patriot Golf Day Recognition at noon when we'll take a moment to honor all those who have served and are serving in our armed forces.”
Grande Dunes' “Play Golf America Day” is being coordinated by the Carolinas PGA Section in conjunction with Grande Dunes Resort Club. Similar days are held around the country to stimulate interest in golf. PlayGolfAmerica.com, which created the concept of these free one-day consumer festivals, was founded by the PGA, LPGA, Golf 20/20, The National Golf Course Owners Association, and the USGA.
Play Golf America Day at Grande Dunes Resort Club is sponsored in part by Mercedes-Benz and American Express.
