Road Trip: Myrtle Beach – The Cast
The Golf Channel
has begun to air their brand new show, Road Trip: Myrtle Beach. This
truly is a one of a kind show that focuses mainly on some of the best golf
courses in the golf capital of the world. Not a bad idea, huh? Seeing that
Myrtle Beach is the most traveled to location in the world for golf, why
not make a show that comprises several of the best courses in the area?
That’s exactly what they did. It airs on Tuesdays at 7:30.
The cast is none too familiar with Myrtle Beach, residing from South Carolina,
along with neighboring North Carolina and Georgia. A couple of them are
seasoned and accomplished professional players as the other two are probably
just like you and I (just out to have fun!). The cast is as follows...
Charlie Rymer:
Most of you know Charlie as a sports commentator for ESPN, hitting up several
PGA tournaments per year. What you might not know is that he is from
Fort Mill, SC and was a two-time All-American for Georgia Tech. Then,
he received his Tour Card and was on the Tour for nearly ten years. He
also won the 1985 USGA Amateur Championship. (Yes, Tiger has that one
under his belt, too). We’d like to think he can still play with
those credentials!
Josh Kelly:
Born in Augusta, GA in 1980, Josh is working his way into stardom. Not
golf stardom like Tiger or Phil, but with the A-listers from Hollywood.
He attended Ole Miss and happened to release a CD while still in college.
He signed with a label and before you knew it, he was married to Grey’s
Anatomy star Katherine Heigl! He has toured with the likes of Third
Eye Blind and Counting Crows. We’ll see if he can play golf the
way he plays a guitar...
Perry Swensen:
Perry is a native of Charlotte, NC and is on her way to joining the likes
of Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel on the LPGA Tour. She graduated from
the University of Texas where she placed 2nd in both the 2004 and 2005
Big 12 Championship tournaments. Currently, Perry is a member of the
Duramed Futures Tour (the subsidiary of the LPGA), and has been since
2005. Maybe she’ll give Charlie a run for his money! We’ll
see...
Mark Bryan:
South Carolinians are very familiar with this name. Mark is one of the
founding members, and lead guitar player for the multi-platinum band,
Hootie and the Blowfish who just happen to be from South Carolina. Mark
has made his contribution to the band that has sold over 20 million records
world wide and “Cracked Rear View” is the #12 best selling
album of all time! Eat your heart out, George Michael. If you are ever
in Myrtle Beach and you know that Hootie is in town, be sure to purchase
tickets well in advance, because Mark and the guys put on one helluva
show. We’ve seen the music videos with these guys on the course,
hopefully Mark has improved a few strokes...
As far as casting
goes for Road Trip: Myrtle Beach, it’s pretty solid. A couple celebrities
paired with a couple pros? What might The Golf Channel have in store for
us? We’re sure there will be plenty of laughs, tips and ideas for
your next Myrtle Beach Golf Trip. If you are making the trip this spring,
be sure to tune in on Tuesdays at 7:30 because one of your courses may
be the feature course of the week.
