News Summary

Myrtle Beach introduces the ‘Golf with Us’ program, an initiative by Bank of America and Youth on Course, stimulating youth interest in golf. Aimed at juniors aged 6-18, the program offers rounds of golf for just $5 and is active at several local courses. The program includes access to various youth golf activities and opportunities for young players, encouraging a new generation to embrace the sport.

Myrtle Beach Welcomes ‘Golf with Us’ Program to Encourage Youth Golfing

Golf lovers in Myrtle Beach have something exciting to look forward to as Bank of America, in collaboration with Youth on Course, has just launched a brand-new initiative called ‘Golf with Us’. This fabulous program, kicked off last week, aims to ignite the passion for golf among young buddings in the area, making it more accessible than ever before!

Affordable Golf for Junior Golfers

The ‘Golf with Us’ program opens the doors to youth aged 6-18 to experience the joy of hitting the links for *only $5*! That’s right, just five bucks for a full round of golf! You can hardly beat that, especially in sunny Myrtle Beach. This initiative is set to run for the next year, so there’s plenty of time for junior golfers to take advantage of this golden opportunity.

Courses Joining the Fun

Several fantastic Grand Strand courses are joining in on the fun, and we couldn’t be more excited. The participating courses include:

The Hackler Course at Coastal Carolina
Aberdeen Country Club
Founders Club at Pawleys Island
West and Southcreek courses at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club
Byrd, Jones, and Maples courses at Sea Trail Golf Club
The Links at Brick Landing

Aren’t these chipping and putting spots just a joy to play? Families can enjoy the wonderful *sunshine and fresh air*, all while introducing their kids to this timeless sport.

Building Young Golfers

Area golf courses are no strangers to promoting youth participation. In fact, many have offered kid-friendly programs for years, such as the classic ‘Kids Play Free’ initiative, which allows kids under 17 to play for free when accompanied by a paying adult. Depending on the course and the time of year, availability for youth programs can vary, but they are *absolutely worth checking out*!

Alongside the new initiative, Myrtle Beach has several existing youth programs designed to foster young talent. These include:

PGA Junior League Golf
South Carolina Junior Golf Association tournaments
Project Golf junior instruction programs
Historic Carolyn Cudone Myrtle Beach Junior Golf Program
The First Tee of Coastal Carolinas, which is currently in the process of reorganizing

Additionally, many local courses provide high school teams the chance to practice and even host junior tournaments, creating a thriving community for aspiring young golfers.

Big Impact Across the Nation

Bank of America is making a marvelous commitment with the ‘Golf with Us’ program, expanding its reach across nearly *100 markets* around the country, with a vision to support over *50,000 kids*! Moreover, young participants can sign up for a free one-year membership to Youth on Course, courtesy of Bank of America, available until May 24 or until 75,000 memberships are exhausted.

This membership is truly packed with benefits, including registration in the USGA’s handicap index (GHIN) system and ongoing developmental opportunities. How cool is that?

Future Excitement on the Course

And that’s not all! The program has plans to include exciting instructional clinics featuring professional golfers and even celebrities. Though specific dates for the Grand Strand area haven’t yet been set, we can only imagine the excitement that awaits!

A Commitment to the Game

Bank of America is proactively expanding its presence in the world of golf, backing various events and programs, including the More Than Golf Invitational and the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. They also lend their support to amateur championships endorsed by Augusta National Golf Club.

Youth on Course, established back in 2006, has been dedicated to providing affordable golfing opportunities, along with career preparation, leadership development, and scholarships through junior memberships, currently supported by *over 2,000 participating courses* across the United States.

In short, Myrtle Beach’s new ‘Golf with Us’ program is a remarkable step toward encouraging the next generation of golfers. So grab your clubs and get ready to tee off – an exciting golfing adventure is just around the corner!
