Myrtle Beach Golf Instruction.jpg Whether you're looking to learn the game of golf from square one or you're looking to shave some strokes off of your handicap, there's no better way to get full enjoyment out of the game of golf than to get lessons from a PGA Teaching Professional.  And as the widely recognized "Golf Capital of the World", Myrtle Beach has plenty of great teaching professionals that can help you improve your game.  Well two golf schools in Myrtle Beach have now been recognized as two of the Top 25 Golf Schools in America by Golf Magazine.

The Classic Swing Golf School at Legends Golf Club and the Ritson-Sole Golf School at Pawley's Plantation were both honored in this prestigious list in the November issue of Golf Magazine.  Both golf schools have actually been recognized for a number of years on this list, and offer what is by the best value of any of the other 25 schools on the list.

Of course with such a great honor for these two schools, we would be remiss if we didn't mention that Myrtle Beach has many other great places to learn to improve your golf swing.  The Grande Dunes offers instruction from Brad Redding, who is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher in America.  Nick Bradley, who is the swing teacher of world ranked top 10 player Justin Rose, calls the Barefoot Golf Club his home for his Myrtle Beach golf school.

For more details on Myrtle Beach golf schools, feel free to contact our Golf Director.

We are excited to announce that Beach Cove has been selected as one of the host resorts for a wonderful event that has been put together by the New Jersey Firemen's Benevolent Association and our air partner, Myrtle Beach Direct Air, the FLASH  (Firemen's Land And Sea Holiday) Golf and Fishing Fundraiser with proceeds going to the families of the "Charleston 9", a group of courageous men who lost their lives while fighting a fire on June 18, 2007.

This event, the first national fundraiser put on by the NJFMBA, will be held November 12 -16 and will feature golf at area golf courses including Blackmoor, Arrowhead, Wild Wing, Caledonia, True Blue and others, and deep sea fishing trips for the non golfers.  Organized events will be hosted by Martin's PGA Tour SuperStore and 2001 Nightclub as part of the package.

While attendance for this inaugural event is expected at anywhere from 500 - 1000 participants comprised of firefighters and friends from all over the country, the event is open to the public to assist in raising funds for this great cause.  For more details on the event please visit the FMBA FLASH event web site or call Jo Ann Fusco at (732) 499-9250.
