Myrtle Beach Golf Winter Special

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Starting December 1, 2009 and running through January 31,2010, you can play three of Dan Maples best designs anytime of the day for $37 per golfer (Includes Carts, Taxes and fees). The courses included are Man O War, The Witch and The Wizard. All three of these courses have been favorites of Myrtle Beach golfers and locals for years.  Here is a brief description of the courses:

MAN O WAR – Built surrounding a 100-acre lake with plenty of challenges. An outstanding island ninth hole and back-to-back island greens create a unique course you’ll keep coming back to again and again.

THE WITCH – Enchanted woodlands and undisturbed wetlands are home to these 18 holes. Hundreds of acres of wetlands are spanned by almost 4000 feet of bridges, preserving the water a natural hazard.

THE WIZARD – Dan Maples and his team moved a tremendous 800,000 cubic yards of dirt to create some mountain golfing on the Grand Strand. Devilish and dramatic elevation changes make this course unlike anything else around.

Frost Delays for Myrtle Beach Golfers

Golf Frost Damage to Green

The picture above shows the actual foot print patters of ONE foursome playing the hole like normal. The grass is damaged beyond repair now.

The fall golf season in Myrtle Beach is here, with that comes the cooler weather. With the cooler weather, also comes those chilly mornings were the golf course could experience FROST. What is frost? Where does it come from? Why cant we play while frost is present? Hopefully I can answer some of these questions for you.

Frost is frozen due that has crystallized on the grass. Since grass blades are about 90% water, when a frost occurs, the blades of grass also freeze. Since all golfers like to hit off of carpet like fairways and putt on good greens, golf course turf is cut lower than the grass in your yard, walking on frost covered grass can cause SERIOUS damage to the golf course. In fact, you would not know how much damage it has done, because it typically takes 48-72 hours when the grass blades start turning brown and die. You are already done playing that course. One person takes approximately 60 paces on a green. Multiply that by 18 holes with an average of 200 rounds per day and the result is 216,000 footprints on greens in a day or 6,480,000 in a month or 77,760,000 footprints in a year.

Frost delays can last 10 minutes to over 2 hours. For more Myrtle Beach golf tweets and retweets follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/mbgolfpro
