Golf Hotspot Numbers Up to Par

Here in Myrtle Beach, golf isn't just a sport. It's a lifestyle. After a bitter, cold winter, Golf Holiday and Barefoot Resort and Golf say numbers are looking up as more golfers hit the course. Despite the hot summer weather, those golfers are still grabbing their clubs and hopping on their carts, mostly at those early morning tee times.

I was able to interview and shoot this video for the story. It was a fun story out on the golf course (Fazio Course) talking to golf experts about the tough winter season Myrtle Beach experienced. Golfers, of course, came down once the cold cleared out.
We went out on a golf cart and spoke with some vacationing golfers, who come down to Myrtle Beach every now and then. Some said they preferred to golf in the cooler hours, teeing off around 7:00 a.m. while others said they'd golf any time of day. By this time of the year, the temperatures, especially that day, are up in the mid to upper 90's. With humidity, it feels like 100's!! Honestly, I'm not sure if I'd even be golfing at all. It's already in the mid 80's by sunrise.

Nevertheless, shooting and interviewing on the green, was more fun than I ever expected.

"Isn't it great that one day we're out on a fire and the next we're at a golf course? I love this job," Jennifer said to me. "I know! I love it too!" I agreed.
This is exactly what I wanted from this internship. A path to pull the passion out of me. These kinds of experiences are just what I'm talking about.

My look live turned out really well. Jennifer said I had great energy and good references to my location. I had the golfers gearing up to go behind me. I used some nice video over my voice and then came back to me on camera with the course as the background. I did trip up on my words at the end, but recovered and decided it looked better than the other recordings. I'm very proud of my progress. Every new look live comes with improvement!
