We hope this email finds you well and working on your game at The Golf Lab!

 

Given that the golf season is "officially" finished, we thought this would be a good time to let you know about the Tour's March 2015 trip to Myrtle Beach, brought to you by Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday and Golf Away Tours. This will be the first official event of the 2015 Tour season. Players will be eligible for full points and prizing along with what we are sure will be a wonderful and memorable golfing experience. You will have a BLAST!!
