The event also has been the catalyst for recolonizing our suspended Beta Iota Chapter, which has been a real challenge. Numerous groups, ranging in size and origin gather yearly at Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and elsewhere to rekindle and solidify old friendships. The high demand motivates most of these groups to plan nearly a year out in reserving optimum tee times at select courses and locking in other amenities, so the onus for efficiencies rests with Group Planners. As our group continues to grow, the event becomes more of a challenge to manage. Therefore, guidelines have been developed to facilitate event planning with the goal of making our time together as enjoyable as possible.
Myrtle Beach has much to offer.
We have found that having one POC collect all payments and interface with the vacation management company is the most effective means to plan this event. Art DiFrancesco, BI 529, has this role. There will not be any credit card payments. This allows you to sleep-in Wednesday morning rather than being rushed for golf. 2002 is the first year we have implemented this stern rule, as the majority of golf groups do.
