For those of you who enjoy the good times and lasting memories of a golf trip, it’s hard to believe there are people who don’t round up their buddies, toss the clubs in the trunk, and enjoy a weekend of golf and revelry in Myrtle Beach.

But it’s true, there are folks who don’t take a golf trip.

If you are one of the unfortunate souls, we are here to help you end that problem.

Think you can’t start your own golf trip? WRONG!

Follow these steps and a golf trip is in your immediate future.

1. Stop moping about not going on a trip and start asking people to go. Whether it’s the group you regularly play with, a relative, a co-worker, or old high school friends, you need to be a man or woman of action. Someone is going to surprise you and say yes, but you must be proactive.

2. One thing to do before you start: reach out to the folks at MyrtleBeachGolfTrips.com and establish an itinerary. Don’t worry about exact dates but get a golf course lineup you can pitch to your buddies. The first year of the trip, you will be one part group leader, one part salesman. A golf course lineup gives you something to sell and your buddies something to dream about.

3. Like any good salesman, you can’t be discouraged by the word no. Not everyone is going to be able to go. That’s life. But stay with it.

4. Don’t be afraid to mix friend groups. You can bring high school buddies and co-workers on the same trip. You will be amazed at how quickly people from different walks of life become friends over a round of golf and a couple beers.

5. Especially in the early years, don’t worry about the size of your group. If there are only three of you, no worries. Go and have a good time. When you return home and tell everyone how much fun you had, it will be that much easier to recruit them the following year.

People like to take trips, and golf vacations, which allow the increasingly rare opportunity to spend time with friends, are particularly fun.

So, what are you waiting for?

Even if you already take a trip, don’t be afraid to plan your own and take a second junket, because there are plenty of golf courses here in Myrtle Beach.
