A
vacation to Myrtle Beach is exciting in itself
with more than 60 miles of beaches, at least
1500 restaurants and a plenitude of entertainment
and recreation to fully satisfy the most discriminating
of travelers. But, add in the opportunity
to play in a competitive golf event paired
with a family member and we think you have
a must-do destination. Mark your calendars
for July 19-21, 2012 when fathers and sons
unite in "The Seaside Golf Capital of
the World" for the 15th Annual
Golf Dimensions Superstore National Father
& Son Team Classic. 
The tournament is open to any father/son type relationship, from grandfathers
and grandsons to uncles and nephews. Teams are flighted based on USGA
handicap and "sandbaggers" beware.
The tournament committee will go to great lengths to protect the integrity
of this event. In addition to the tournament gift package, some of the
finest companies in the golf industry have become 'friends of the classic.'
Titleist, TaylorMade, Belding-Sports, Sterling Cut Glass are but a few
of the companies adding a wealth of gifts and prizes. Special thanks go
out to Golf Dimensions Superstore, Marina Inn at Grande
Dunes, Coca-Cola, Powerade, Myrtle Beach Trips, and AHEAD for the strong
support they give this event.
Last
year's 54-hole competition drew players
from 42 states and 5 foreign countries --
28 flights in all. Past "Fathers of
the Year" include such names as Lou
Holtz, head football coach of The University
of South Carolina; Jim Hodges, the South
Carolina Governor; Happ Lathrop, the Executive
Director of the South Carolina Golf Association,
Dal Shealy, the President of the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes, and Bobby Richardson,
1960 World Series Most Valuable Player.
 The
tournament committee remains committed to bringing participants only the
highest quality golf experience Myrtle Beach has to offer. This year's
tournament host sites include Sea Trail Golf Resort, The Resort Club at Grande Dunes, The Members
Club at Grande Dunes, Wachesaw Plantation East, Thistle Golf Club, Barefoot Resort, Myrtle Beach
National, The Founders Club at Pawleys Island and Legends Resort.

accommodation packages for father/son week.
For a little activity away from the fairways,
endless attractions are but a short dogleg
away. Broadway at the Beach houses 100 boutiques
and specialty shops, 16 restaurants (including
the Hard Rock Cafe), an IMAX theater and
celebrity square nightclub district. Numerous
musical theaters offer an extensive selection,
from country to big band. And of course
for water lovers, Myrtle Beach is prime
territory for scuba diving, surfing and
sailing. Whatever your pleasure, you'll
find it all along the Grand Strand.
Myrtle Beach, competitive
golf and that good old summertime -- what a magical combination for a
quality family vacation. Recapture a golf memory and make some new ones
when you play The National Father & Son Team Classic. Space will be
limited to the first 800 teams, so register early!
