This fantastic event promises to offer students an exclusive chance to learn the ins and outs of managing a major professional sports tournament, all while honing skills that could help them in their future careers.
This year, over 250 local high school students from various programs such as marketing, culinary services, hospitality, and turf management will join the action. Scheduled for April 14, 2025, between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., the event is designed to give students a unique, hands-on experience that can kickstart their professional journeys.
During the event, students will have the chance to participate in three engaging 30-minute sessions that cover essential topics in event management and the various job opportunities related to their areas of study. 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.
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 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.
Opportunities like this are invaluable for students contemplating their future paths. They get to experience firsthand what it’s like to be involved in a high-stakes environment while making connections that could last a lifetime. It’s a brilliant chance for them to step outside the classroom and see how their education aligns with real-world applications.
As Myrtle Beach welcomes eager young minds to the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, it’s clear that the community is dedicated to fostering the educational experiences that shape the future of its youth. Keeping the momentum going, the collaboration between local schools and events like this one underscores the importance of community engagement in education.
So mark your calendar for April 14, 2025! The excitement is palpable, and who knows? You might just see the next big star of the golf world emerge from this year’s event. Stay tuned, Myrtle Beach, because this is just the beginning for our future leaders!
