Horry County Museum Lecture Series: Golf on the Grand Strand

Join Horry County Museum’s Technical Assistant Thomas Strebeck on September 13th at 1 PM and Learn about the history of Golf in Horry County, from the first course built in the 1920s to the most recent professional golf tour, and how some of the biggest names in the sport helped transform Myrtle Beach from an ocean village into a vacation destination that attracts millions of visitors every year and claims the title of the “Golf Capital of America.”

He has a Bachelor’s Degree in History from Louisiana Tech University and a Master’s Degree in Public History from the University of South Carolina.
