Myrtle Beach: Connecticut Yankees in King Bubba's Court

Tomorrow the Tour Review embarks on its annual Myrtle Beach golf outing. Myrtle Beach -- the land of Waffle Houses, Hooters and the NASCAR Cafe. The marketing geniuses who sell the Myrtle Beach "brand" have done an excellent job. Their marketing brochures and images depict beautiful scenic golf course, such as the Moorland Course at the Legends:

Veteran Myrtle Beach golfers are aware of the harsh reality of Myrtle Beach. The golf courses are scattered amidst unregulated and unplanned suburban development. Our first trip to MB we unknowingly signed up for a "golf package", which entailed driving over 50-miles to golf courses each day through endless miles of strip clubs, evangelical billboards and "All You Can Eat" buffets. Did I mention the ubiquitous Waffle Houses? Yet, we return every year

The Tour Review will return next week with a full report of Myrtle Beach. We'll discuss the golf courses (The Legends), the restaurants, the airport and, if necessary, provide legal analysis of any/all police reports.
