Tuesday at the 19th Hole: Charlie, Chantel, Paige and a Taste of Tailgating!

When the World’s Largest 19th Hole opens Tuesday evening, players can expect to see an old friend in the Myrtle Beach Convention Center – Charlie Rymer. Our longtime emcee will be here for the remainder of the week, and we always enjoy having him.

Before we get to the entertainment, we know everyone will be hungry. With football season upon us, Tuesday night’s menu will feature a lot of “tailgate favorites,” with a decidedly Southern flair. Highlighting tonight’s dinner options are down home chili, boneless wings, fried catfish, ribs and subs. If you aren’t a fan of tailgate fare, don’t fret. We will also be serving Thai food, chicken salad and Mellow Mushroom pizza, among other offerings. If all else fails, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat Friendly’s ice cream buffet!

You shouldn’t go home hungry!

For those of you who want to do a little dancing after dinner, The Finesse Band will be rocking World Am Live with their blend of R&B, Motown and Soul, so check it out.

Joining Charlie tonight on the mainstage will be Golf Channel personality Chantel McCabe, professional golfer Paige Spiranac, PGA Tour Live’s Teryn Gregson, billiards legend Ewa Laurance, and, of course, Brian Katrek and John Maginnes will be broadcasting their hit Sirius/XM Radio Show “Maginnes on Tap” from 5 to 7 p.m.

We look forward to seeing you!
