MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday announced that Jesse Johnson from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was chosen as the winner of FOX Sports Radio Pittsburgh's "Get Off Your Couch and Get on the Course in Myrtle Beach" contest. Johnson registered on Fox970.com and won the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play three rounds of golf in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end L.C. Greenwood.
Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday, the world's premier golf destination marketing cooperative, partnered with Clear Channel Communications to give away an all-expense paid golf vacation for two to the area. Johnson and his guest will depart the Steel City on a non-stop Myrtle Beach Direct Air & Tour flight on Thursday, November 15th, spend three nights at the Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort in Pawleys Island and play golf with Greenwood Thursday, Friday and Saturday at three area courses; Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country Club, The Tradition Club and Willbrook Plantation.
The threesome will be joined Friday by the host of FOX Sports Radio's' "The Gerry Dulac Golf Show" for a round of golf at The Tradition Club. The weekly show normally airs Thursday from 7:00-8:00 p.m. but will tape a special Myrtle Beach broadcast on Friday night which will air Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. with Johnson and Greenwood as special guests.
"We're excited to partner with Clear Channel Communications to reward one lucky Pittsburgh golfer with the ultimate buddy golf vacation in Myrtle Beach," said Bill Golden, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday's vice president and director of marketing. "Pittsburgh has been one of our stronger feeder golf markets and the Myrtle Beach Direct non-stop flight connecting Pittsburgh and Myrtle Beach was successful from the first day the service was announced. Congratulations to Jesse Johnson and we look forward to more promotions with FOX Sports and Clear Channel Communications in the future."
