New Golf Performance Center to open in Myrtle Beach

Callaway, one of the world’s largest golf brands announced a new performance fitting center will open in Myrtle Beach this July.  Performance centers are becoming more popular, but this seems to be the 1st of it’s kind to open in Myrtle Beach.  Custom club fitting has long been used at the professional level.  Due to advances in technology it is now easier to have the same fitting systems available to your amateur golfer.

This fitting center will service the avid golfers that seasonally flock to Myrtle Beach to experience some of the best golf courses in the world.  Often times having equipment fitted to the individual golfer enables substantial performance gains.  There are hundreds of different golf club combinations and the performance center will use state of the art technology to match golfers with the proper club head, shaft, and weight.  This technology is now affordable to the everyday golfer and should help them to elevate their games.

The fitting center will be located in Golf Dimensions one of Myrtle Beach’s best known golf stores.  The performance center will be located at the Barefoot resort, which boasts 4 of Myrtle Beach’s best golf courses.

We are eager to check it out….perhaps that is a good excuse to get some new clubs?  Like we need an excuse anyway.  Check back in July and we can give a full report on the fitting and our thoughts.  You may want to plan to check it out next time you are visiting Myrtle Beach on a golf vacation.

Farmstead Golf Links Named to Most Fun List

**CALABASH, NC – The 18th hole at Farmstead Golf Links has been selected by Golf Digest in its dream design “Top 18 Most Fun Holes in America” as published on line and in the magazine’s print edition for December 2010. Farmstead joined some of the country’s top ranking courses in being selected for the honor.  The field included two courses ranked in the country’s top 10 by Golf Digest, three ranked in the top 25, two best new courses, two top 10 hardest and one designated by the magazine as the best new course for the 21st century. While most of the honored courses were in the western part of the country, one Sanford NC course joined Farmstead.
Farmstead’s signature hole #18 is a par six, 767 yard hole that tees off in South Carolina and finishes in North Carolina alongside the course’s grand 8,000sf Georgian style clubhouse. The course’s total yardage is 7242. It has a slope of 135 and rating of 74.5.


Farmstead was a finalist for Best New Golf Course in North Carolina in 2002. It was designed by Willard Byrd and David Johnson and is managed by Burroughs and Chapin Golf Management.
