Myrtle Beach Golf Back Open for Business

Sixty-Five Myrtle Beach Golf Courses Have Reopened in Aftermath of Hurricane Matthew

Nearly Every Course Will be Open for What is Expected to be an Idyllic Weekend Along the Grand Strand

Emerging from the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, 65 Myrtle Beach golf courses have reopened along the Grand Strand and nearly every area layout will be open for what is expected to be an idyllic weekend.

A 60-mile stretch of Carolinas coastline, the Grand Strand endured high winds and heavy rain from Hurricane Matthew, but area golf courses emerged without major structural damage. Course closures were primarily a result of fallen trees and debris that needed to be cleaned up.

“We are happy to welcome golfers back to Myrtle Beach this weekend and all the credit goes to the golf course staffs that have worked tirelessly to get their property ready to reopen,” said Bill Golden, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday president. “While we look forward to having full tee sheets this weekend, our thoughts will certainly be with our friends throughout North and South Carolina who are still battling the impact of the storm.”

For most of the next week, the Myrtle Beach area is expected to have near perfect weather. High temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 70s and will be accompanied by a slight breeze, which will help further aide courses in drying out.

“By this weekend, the courses will almost look like a storm never came through, other than some debris on the outer edge of the golf course we won’t have time to clear,” said Matt Biddington, head pro at Legends Resort. “From tee to green, the courses will be in great shape.”

adidas Golf Locking up Players

Dustin Johnson has been an adidas guy, and he will now be into the future.

adidas Golf and Dustin Johnson today announced a new multi-year apparel and footwear deal.  2017 will mark the company’s tenth year collaborating with the 2016 PGA of America Player of the Year Award and Vardon Trophy recipient, 2016 US Open Champion, Top American and #2 Player in the World.

 

adidas footwear and apparel are designed to optimize an athlete’s performance. In golf, the most important measure of performance is speed, which translates to distance and Johnson’s jaw dropping drives have him hunting for titles every week. adidas Golf apparel frees Johnson’s 6’4” frame to produce his Tour-leading distance, while his use of TOUR360 BOOST shoes have helped catapult adidas Golf footwear to the #2 market share* position.

    “DJ’s scoring and legendary ball striking draw huge galleries and substantial television exposure, which are critical to the promotion of our apparel and footwear. We believe his US Open Championship is the first of many Majors to come, which will make him an even bigger star. He is the perfect athlete for our team to test innovative product solutions and his feedback will continue to influence our design decisions.”
    Jeff Lienhart, Executive Vice President of adidas Golf

    “adidas Golf is more than a sponsor.  They have been with me since the start of my career; we’ve collaborated, created and celebrated together. I’m grateful for the support adidas Golf has given me and look forward to seeing what we can do together moving forward.”
