''It's just golf, let's have fun''
I signed up for the OTG newsletter.
The Sun News has been dying. Many places that had a Sun News box to sell
it don't have the old box now. And how many people have $3 in quarters in
there pocket if they see a Sun News box? 🙂

I signed also to receive the free newsletter. Best way to receive an update concerning golf news in Myrtle Beach. Alan Blondin was probably, when he was with the Sun News, the only golf writer for this journal. It is a weekly newsletter. No Spam and you can unsubscribe anytime. No brainer for us.

I also signed up for the newsletter. I have always enjoyed his golf articles.
Me too. Blondin is well informed with all is going on the golf courses in MB. I like all his latest news.

Thanks for posting this info. Look forward to reading On The Green (digital).

Looks like the new On The Green is tied in with Golf Trek (Brian's previous gig). Will be interesting to see if OTG becomes more of a vehicle to sell golf packages.
If you are talking about this line in the OTG newsletter subscribe, it
looks like possibly a web developer copied something from
Golftrek when setting up OTG or it's a tricky way to get us to sign
up for Golftrek's emails.

@artmbgolf The first thing I notice was the caricature of Alan on the OTG website. Same style that Golf Trek used. A deeper dive also shows Alan's picture on the Golf Trek site. Last year, after Brian left Golf Trek, my trip package was taken over by Jason Himmelsbach. Name rang a bell and Jason confirmed his family published the OTG and the On The Beach publications.
Just makes me wonder if Alan will be giving us unbiased Myrtle golf info or promoting golf packages.
- Jason Himmelsbach worked for The Glens Group for years. This group packaged golf at Glen Dornoch, Heather Glen, Shaftesbury Glen, Possum Trot and Wicked Stick. They also accommodated golf at most Grand Strand courses. Lots of connections here…. Hopefully we get good info at all the locations we enjoy.

@brewcrew
Good evidence points. It does look like Golf Trek is at least a sponsor of OTG, if
not more.
Golf Trek had bought the Glens package business, which is how Brian and
Jason H ended up working there, as far as I know.
The Alan articles on OTG look unbiased to me, just MB inside news.
I signed up for OTG emails, (not Golftrek), but have not received anything yet.

I signed up also for OTG emails, but i have not received anything. Maybe it will come with the new edition coming soon.

Blondin has a new shoot down the China Balloon article + video, but still
no email from OTG.

I heard from Al that Golf Trek did buy OTG.
He said subscriber emails will start to be sent soon.

I did receive my first email from OTG after subscribing. It did initially end up in the spam folder
