Closing Time at the World’s Largest 19th Hole

The 40th annual World Amateur Handicap Championship is drawing to a close, and we hope you join us at the World Largest 19th hole as we celebrate the end of the milestone event.

As always, the 19th Hole will be open from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m., and there are a lot of good times on tap. Among the highlights of the evening will be a mainstage interview with Darren Nelson, the tournament director for the Myrtle Beach Classic, our new PGA Tour event, the $25,000 Long Putt Challenge and the $25,000 Pitch to get Rich Challenge!

(If you don’t think the putting and chipping contests are dramatic, check out this video!)

Of course, we will also be giving away more than $25,000 in random drawing prizes, so make sure you hang around and see if you won big.
