Now is the time to act

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (March 22, 2012) – As many of our regular readers know Direct Air, a Myrtle Beach headquarter discount airline, has suspended operation and filed for bankruptcy. With reorganization their hope is to resume operations this coming May. We wish Direct Air a speedy recovery and hope they’re back in the air come May.

Many of us have wondered how the timing, just prior to the peak golf season, will impact the industry. Over the past few weeks I’ve spoken to a half dozen golf courses and packagers.

The common theme is - sure we lost 8-12 tee times, or I’ve had a few cancellations, or the visit has been shortened since the golfers are now driving. Nobodies individual business seems to have been damaged beyond repair. However, I cannot help but wonder how these smaller losses might add up to considerable damage throughout the golf industry.

If you’re still on the fence about a Myrtle Beach golf vacation, or just late in putting your plans together, now is the time to act. Some choice accommodations have opened up and some prime tee times might just be available. You can book online now or call (800) 682-5699 to speak with a golf specialist.
