Tune in for in inaugural episode of Tee’d Off, brought to you by the golf pros at MBGolf.com! On today’s episode, Ben and Aaron share candid feedback from The 2022 Masters Tournament, along with their vision for the podcast and the latest updates on golf here at The Beach!
Ben Clyburn and Aaron Thomas introduce themselves as the hosts of the ‘Teed Off’ podcast from MBGolf.com. Ben is the president of Condo-World and MB Golf, a third-generation family business, and has been an avid golfer for over 16 years, inspired by Tiger Woods’ dominance in the early 2000s. Aaron is the golf sales director and has lived in the Myrtle Beach area for over 20 years, taking up golf at the age of 10 after being influenced by his father.
The hosts provide a detailed recap of the 2022 Masters tournament, discussing Scottie Scheffler’s dominant win, his impressive four-putt on the 18th hole, and his potential for sustained success. They analyze Tiger Woods’ comeback performance, his struggles over the weekend, and his plans for future majors. Rory McIlroy’s impressive final round of 64 is also discussed, with the hosts debating whether it signals a return to form or was simply a result of playing without pressure.
The hosts discuss the overall state of golf, highlighting the resurgence in popularity post-pandemic and the influx of young talent on the PGA Tour. They analyze the performances of players like Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Collin Morikawa, and debate the likelihood of a dominant player emerging like Tiger Woods. The hosts also touch on the upcoming PGA Championship at Southern Hills, which is reportedly Scottie Scheffler’s favorite course.
The discussion shifts to the current golf season in Myrtle Beach, with the hosts noting the high demand and excellent course conditions. Aaron Thomas, the golf sales director, highlights two popular packages: the Barefoot Resort courses and the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail collection. He provides details on the courses, pricing options, and the benefits of each package. The hosts also mention the oceanfront Crescent Shores condos in North Myrtle Beach as a featured accommodation option for golf groups.
The hosts emphasize the importance of booking early for the fall golf season in Myrtle Beach, as availability and pricing are directly impacted by demand. Aaron Thomas explains that booking early ensures access to desired tee times, courses, and accommodations at the best rates. He notes that the fall season is already generating interest, and waiting until the last minute will result in higher prices and limited options.
