Amy Whiffen, REALTOR® - Myrtle Beach Real Estate

This summer my son had reached the wise old age of 5 and had decided he wanted to be like mommy and learn how to golf. How could I say no? I myself have been having so much fun the last few weeks and truly wish I had learned years ago. So after one of my lessons with Natalie at The Classic Swing Golf School at Legends Golf Resort here in Myrtle Beach I grabbed a flyer explaining their 19^th Annual Junior Golf Program.

Over the summer they have 10 week long classes for ages 5-17. You can take as few or as many classes as you want. My son ended up taking three weeks worth of classes, spread out over the 3 months and all I can say is he has never had so much fun before!

He met new friends and as hot as the summers get in Myrtle Beach the kids were always so excited to get out there and learn. The instructors made learning so fun with contests, games and yes even a video analysis to take home and show everyone!

I just found out Natalie is going to be running a fall clinic open to all junior golfers held for 6 weeks every Saturday starting on October 4^th from 1:30 -3pm. The price for the six week program is $150.

Feel Free to call the golf school at 843-903-5560 with any questions or to register your junior.

Is my son going to be the next Tiger Woods, extremely unlikely. But as long as he has fun and wants to continue with golf, I know where he's going - The Classic Swing Golf School!

I woke up this morning to the terrible news that the Rivertown Bistro on 3rd Ave in Conway had caught fire late last night and was destroyed. The Bistro was a great restaurant to meet with clients for lunch and enjoy a special dinner. It was one of the few restaurants in the Myrtle Beach / Conway area that had the look, feel and menu of a "big city" fine dining experience.

Here is a link to the local Sun News paper announcement. My thoughts and prayers are with the owners and employees...
