Registrations Being Accepted for Fabulous 50s Festival Golf Tournament
Registrations are being accepted for the Fabulous 50s Festival golf tournament, which will begin with a shotgun start 7:15 a.m. July 24 at Wachesaw Plantation East in Murrells Inlet. The deadline to register is Friday, July 17. For a registration form, visit MyrtleBeachFabulousFiftiesFestival.com. Teams of four will compete in the 18-hole tournament. The format is captain’s choice, best ball. The event is sponsored by Signature Golf Group, Chick-fil-A Murrells Inlet, Wachesaw Plantation East and Legends in Concert. “This is the only golf tournament on the Grand Strand where you can wear jeans and a T-shirt,” said Lou Krieger, golf tournament chair. “Those playing in the tournament will not only help the Horry County Arts and Cultural Council, a great cause, but will also have the chance to win free golf for four—even if you place 10th.” The entry fee is $59 per player, with proceeds donated to the Horry County Arts and Cultural Council. The cost includes greens fees, cart, prizes, goodie bag and a coffee-and-donut breakfast and Chick-fil-A lunch after the tournament. Each goodie bag includes a $20 discount card from the Grand Strand Golf Association. The winning team will receive $200 cash. Other prizes will be awarded for first place women’s team, Par 3 hole, second through 10th positions, closest to the pin (men’s and women’s teams) and long drive for men and women. Wachesaw Plantation East is the former site of four golf tournaments on the LPGA tour and has received a four-star rating by Golf Digest (“Places to Play”).
