Four rounds are scheduled for the Caverns, and six at the Rumble. The holes there are a smidgen smaller than the Cavern's holes and some of the twists and drops could drive you mad. The tournament is open to everyone who considers her- or himself skilled in the art of putting. Juniors who place will walk away with trophies. The guys who own the Rumble and the Cavern are not only the organizers of the event, they are also the inventors.
Leis are mandatory tournament wear and the vibe seems to be nothin' but family fun.
The Americas Cup portion of the Championships takes place this Saturday and Sunday. The top ten putters from the Nationals take on the best ten putters of Europe, and gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded. The Celebrity Charity Tournament is also scheduled for Saturday, when players pair up with local celebrities and personalities from the local, regional and national media. Proceeds benefit the Horry County Children's Home. In addition, this year debuts the Masters Tour for the Blind, with divisions for legally and totally blind players, who line up shots with the help of volunteer coaches.
