Myrtle Beach Golf Talk – Reboot 2019

Welcome to the new Myrtle Beach Golf Talk Forum As you may have noticed, things have changed. Or this might be your first visit and if so, then welcome. It was not an easy decision to restart the site. We did this a number of years ago when the GEA forums were going away and Brian wanted more control on how things functioned and more protected if big changes were coming. So about 9 years [...]

2014 Forum Outing – Warm-up Course #2: Hidden Valley

We weren't sure what to expect from Hidden Valley Country Club.  After checking out of the hotel (we had driven to Salem after the round at Bedford Springs), we took the 10 minute drive to the course.  Driving in, we could see lots of elevation changes which were confirmed once we got out to the course.  The staff at the pro shop were excellent, and we were treated very well.  The driving range hit off [...]

2014 Forum Outing – Warm-up Course #1: The Old Course at Bedford Springs

Long... That's all I can say about the Old Course at Bedford Springs. Long... It was a grey, threatening sky that greeted Jeff and I as we drove up the bag drop at Bedford Springs.  We had received a call earlier that they would like to move our tee time from 8:10 to 8:50 as they were expecting some fog.  As it turns out there was no fog, however the first tee time had been moved up [...]

Forum Outing 2013 – Day #4: Arrowhead

It's always a sad day when it's the last round of the Forum Outing.  Saturday the 26th was that day for me.  I was playing with a new foursome for me, Gary and Steve had been down before, however Bill was new to the Forum Outing.  All said and done it was an excellent day.  The group was lots of fun to play with, with some side bets always going on.  It also helps that [...]
