These sessions promise to be both informative and fun, and students will walk away with practical knowledge that can be applied in the real world.
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic made a significant splash last year when it marked the area’s first major professional tournament in 24 years, occurring from May 9-12, 2024. The tournament is not just a sporting event; it aims to inspire young golf enthusiasts and help them discover potential careers in the sports industry.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Darren Nelson, the tournament’s director, is keen on sparking interest in the next generation. His focus is on making sure that students see the possibilities of a career in golf and beyond. This approach aligns perfectly with the mission of Horry County Schools, bringing classroom learning to life through real-world experiences.
Amanda Van Natta, a work-based learning specialist for the schools, shared her enthusiasm for making lessons more tangible for students. Last year, students involved in agronomy were particularly delighted when they got to see behind-the-scenes action, such as operating greens mowers and observing how hole locations are expertly prepared for professional play.
The Venue’s Glow-Up
The preparations for the Dunes Golf and Beach Club have also played a significant role in getting ready for the tournament. This picturesque venue has been manicured to perfection, ensuring it looks stunning for both the players and spectators.
The good news doesn’t stop there! This year, the Classic builds upon the success of its inaugural event, providing students with similar engaging opportunities and ensuring they are part of the vibrant sporting culture in Myrtle Beach.
