Charlie's Corner: Looking Forward to the World Am

CharlieRymer_2009.jpgWelcome to Charlie's Corner, the blog home for Golf Channel analyst Charlie Rymer. A lifelong Myrtle Beach golfer, Rymer, with his characteristic wit and unique perspective, will be weighing in on all things golf for Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday.

It’s getting close to World Am time. And I can't wait to get to the World's Largest 19th Hole.

This will be my fourth consecutive year and I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces and smiles. Isn't that really what the World Am is all about? 

I always enjoy talking to folks in between my emcee duties and it seems like I see the same golfers year after year. Many of the players have been coming for what seems like forever and they wouldn't miss the World Am for anything.  For these players, the World Am is an annual ritual and you can nearly see the glee in their eyes. 

The scale of the event is so large that it really couldn't take place anywhere else in the world. Think about it. Where else could you find 50 golf courses in close enough proximity to each other to have a golf tournament for more than 3,000? Certainly no place that I am aware of.  And there are still another 50 courses left over for the golfers visiting Myrtle Beach that aren't in the World Am.
 


If you are a returning player to the World Am, I look forward to seeing you again. And if you've never played, you should plan on coming to Myrtle Beach this August and teeing it up. It’s highly likely that your first World Am won't be your last.
