Recap of the 2018 Myrtle Beach Open (March 24-25):

The Champions Dinner honoring the 2017 Myrtle Beach Open Champion – David J. Carney.

(Pictured from left going clockwise: Nate Kraynak, Sabara, David Carney, Ed Grambo, Paul Koch, David King, Vincent Sobocinski, Mike Marino, Chris Meyer)

Random pictures of our friendly lies, views, and brilliant bunker play:

Vincent catching some rest in between holes on the opening round en route to a career low 45 on the front 9. The group in front of him is so slow!

Hey Paul, dreaming about your lost clubs? Is Spirit your favorite airline?

Even the champ was susceptible to a few shotguns.

😬  This is how you don’t win championships.

Is my hair still in place while I shotgun?  Courtney loves my hair.

The 2018 Myrtle Beach Open Champion – Vincent J. Sobocinski, III.  A strong Sunday performance of a 104 captured that elusive first major trophy for Vince.  Brilliant play.  Let’s take a picture of you and your trophy at Nacho Hippo at the Myrtle Beach Airport.
