It is a (Really) Big Golf Party
The "World's Largest 19th Hole" is a term used quite a bit in the description of the Myrtle Beach World Amateur. Although difficult to explain in short bursts, that is more a byproduct of its enormity, rather than its complexity. That is because at its core, the 19th Hole is simply a golf party...a gathering of avid golfers, all ready to wind down and have a blast. Take a few minutes here to explore everything that makes the 19th Hole, the true heartbeat of the World Am!
FREE Food and Drinks
For most people, the first thing to do is grab the restaurant menu and start planning their culinary consumption strategy. With more than 10 food serving stations dishing out cuisine from area restaurants, plus TWO Friendly's Ice Cream stations...there is plenty of grub to go around.
You will need something to wash that down with as well. There are also four main bars with sodas, water, liquor and wine and four beer bars serving plenty of favorites on tap. ALL drinks are included, so it is open bar for all three hours, all four nights!
