Myrtle Beach National to host fifth annual Myrtle Beach Junior Golf Shootout

Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Myrtle Beach National will play host to the fifth annual Myrtle Beach Junior Golf Shootout during Easter weekend, March 21 – 22, 2008. 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 $99 and golfers from Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia, as well as a team from Finland, have already registered, with the entry deadline not until March 17, 2008.
 
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 and door prizes. The Shootout is sanctioned by the South Carolina Junior Golf Association and 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 has showcased college-talent bound players for 39 years,” said Jim Woodring, vice president of golf operations for the Myrtle Beach National Company. “The spring Junior Shootout is growing 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.”
