The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic has wrapped up after four days of competitive play, showcasing both professional golfers and the dedication of volunteers. Despite a rain delay, attendees remained committed, highlighting the event’s family-friendly atmosphere. Notably, first-time volunteers Lynn Moore and her son Cam Markos, who has Down Syndrome, exemplified the tournament’s community spirit. The event relied heavily on the contributions of numerous volunteers, making it a successful gathering focused on golf and community bonding.
Myrtle Beach, SC – The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic recently concluded after four days of competitive golf, bringing together professional golfers and enthusiastic fans, made even more special by the participation of volunteers. This year, the event experienced a minor setback on Sunday morning as rain delayed the start of play until approximately 10:45 a.m. However, both players and spectators remained dedicated, ensuring that the tournament proceeded smoothly despite the weather challenges.
Among the many volunteers were Lynn Moore and her son Cam Markos, who made a memorable experience of their time at the Myrtle Beach Classic. This marked their first year volunteering for the tournament; last year, they attended solely as spectators and decided to engage more actively this time around, inspired by their experience at another golf tournament. The mother-son duo spent their Mother’s Day weekend following players closely and tracking scores.
Cam, 15 years old and diagnosed with Down Syndrome, has a passion for golf. Although he faces challenges with walking long distances, he exhibited remarkable endurance during his volunteer activities. In his previous shift at the RBC tournament, Cam managed to walk over 15 miles, which is significant given his physical difficulties. Initially nervous in his new role, he quickly adapted and began to enjoy his responsibilities as a standard bearer, a role in which he followed Blades Brown, a standout 17-year-old golfer, around the course.
Lynn expressed pride in her son’s growth and adaptation to the volunteer experience, indicating that it was a rewarding opportunity to work together. The camaraderie and connection they shared during the event underscored the event’s family-friendly atmosphere, as many volunteers were actively contributing to the success of the tournament.
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, hosted by the PGA Tour for the second consecutive year, featured multiple professional golfers competing over 72 holes. The tournament heavily relied on the dedication of its volunteers, with hundreds assisting in various capacities to ensure that everything functioned seamlessly. These roles included gallery managers, walking scorers, standard bearers, and shot locators, all crucial for a well-organized event.
Looking ahead to future events, registration for 2025 volunteers will open on scheduled dates: returning volunteers can sign up starting on January 15, while newcomers can register beginning February 5. To participate, volunteers are required to contribute a minimum of 18 hours during the tournament. Additionally, they will pay a nominal fee that covers their uniforms, which consists of a polo shirt and a hat. The upcoming tournament in 2025 is planned for May 8-11, continuing the tradition of collaboration among volunteers passionate about golf and community service.
The efforts of volunteers, like Lynn and Cam, highlight how the Myrtle Beach Classic fosters not only competition but a sense of community and shared passion for the sport. As the tournament continues to grow, the dedication of countless individuals ensures its success and enhances the experience for everyone involved.
