2024 Family Golf Week Kicks Off in Myrtle Beach
More than 800 players are descending upon the Grand Strand this week to take part in the 27th Annual Family Golf Week, with first-round action teeing it up Thursday at eight award-winning designs throughout the Myrtle Beach area.
Participants are competing as two-person teams in both the Father & Son Team Classic and Parent & Child Team Classic. As the world’s largest father/son golf event, the Father & Son Team Classic has always placed an emphasis on family bonds, particularly those created through memorable events and fun competition. After 17 years of strictly fathers and sons, the tournament committee expanded to the Family Golf Week setup.
Starting in 2018, the Family Golf Week team combined the Mother & Daughter Team Classic and the Father & Daughter Team Classic into one event that encompasses all familial relationships: the Parent & Child Team Classic. These are now two separate tournaments that allow the entire family to take part in this longstanding family tradition.
Arcadian Shores, the Love and Dye courses at Barefoot Resort & Golf, the PineHills Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club, The Pearl, Rivers Edge, Shaftesbury Glen and Wachesaw Plantation East are hosting rounds each day of a 54-hole event that began Thursday and concludes Saturday. Two-person Best Ball (Thursday), Captain’s Choice (Friday) and Modified Alternate Shot (Saturday) formats are in place for each day of play.
Each entrant receives a gift bag that includes a $150 Family Golf Week Gift Card, top-of-the-line polos, tees, and hats from Ahead, one dozen golf balls, socks and golf glove from FootJoy, commemorative bag tag, logoed koozie, logoed poker chip ball marker, logoed bracelet, and a pair of 2UNDR sports briefs – collectively representing a more than $500 value in the gift bag alone.
Event sponsors include title sponsor FootJoy and presenting sponsors East Coast Golf Management, TaylorMade, Myrtle Beach Golf Trail, Logan’s Roadhouse, BODYARMOR, Cape Fear Distillery, Srixon, Coca-Cola, John Deere, Ahead USA, 2UNDR, Cheney Brothers Foodservice, and CRM Renovations & Construction.
