A special moment in Myrtle Beach golf is when the city hosted the Senior PGA TOUR Championship in 1994. The 1994 Golf Magazine Seniot Tour Championship included the top 31 Senior PGA TOUR players and had up to that time the richest purse on the Senior PGA TOUR at $1.35 million.

Raymond Floyd and Jim Albus both birdied the final hole to tie at 15 under at the Dunes Club. In the sudden death playoff, the two played the club's 18th hole five times before Raymond Floyd prevailed with a birdie.

Since the Championship was played in November, nightfall was fast approaching and the closing ceremony was conducted in the dim, evening twilight of Sunday, November 13, 1994. With the arrival of the Senior PGA TOUR Championship and the ESPN telecast, it took Myrtle Beach, as a world golf destination, to its highest level.

Golf Swing Plane

Learn how to identify whether your swing plane is correct

Flip and Slice Cure

Flipping or scooping keeps your hands back and closes the clubface to counteract an up and down slice swing. Fix this by rounding out your swing plane, turning your grip further to the left and letting your arms turn over as you go through impact.

Flip and Hook Cure

Typically hooks are caused by coming from the inside, getting your hands stuck and flipping the club to get to impact. Cure this by focusing on swinging your arms through to your left side and turning your body through to the finish.
