January 21, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Myrtle Beach National will play host to the sixth annual Myrtle Beach Junior Golf Shootout during Easter weekend, April 10-11, 2009. The spring partner of the George Holliday Tournament held annually in November, the Junior Golf Shootout, hosts more than 150 boys and girls between the ages of nine and 18 years of age for the two-day tournament. The tournament entry fee is $129 with a registration deadline of April 1, 2009.
Sponsored by Myrtle Beach National, PGA TOUR Superstore and Coca-Cola®, the Junior Golf Shootout features two tournament rounds at Myrtle Beach National’s Southcreek and West Course, lunch each day, a welcome gift, door prizes and fun for the entire family. Sanctioned by the South Carolina Junior Golf Association, tournament participants can earn points towards the Heritage Classic Foundation Rankings.
“The Junior Shootout is a great complement to our fall George Holliday Tournament and showcases college-talent bound players,” said Jim Woodring, vice president of golf operations for the Myrtle Beach National Company. “The Junior Shootout gets bigger and better each spring and offers the same competitive challenges for junior golfers, just earlier in the year. These events support our commitment to growing the game of golf with our yearly program of ‘Kids Play Free’ at all of our courses.”
