MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Former Chicago Bear All-Pro Dan Hampton and Chicago sports radio veteran Dan McNeil will appear in a new golf event to be held in Myrtle Beach on Nov. 5-8.
Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday and Chicago sports radio station 670 The Score are hosting the event named the “Chicago Cup Team Challenge."
Don Arndt of Franklin Park, IL, and Jim O’Keefe of Hoffman Estates, IL, were named the winners of a four-day, three-night golf trip to Myrtle Beach for themselves and four friends where they will join Hampton, a 2001 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, and McNeil in a Windy City golf challenge held in Myrtle Beach.
O’Keefe and his two friends will team up with Hampton on the Northside team to battle Arndt and friends, who will be joined by McNeil on the Southside team.
To promote Spirit’s new direct flights between Chicago and Myrtle Beach that launched in March 2009, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday and 670 The Score conducted an online contest to award a Myrtle Beach golf vacation to two listeners.
Arndt, O’Keefe and their friends will receive airfare courtesy of Spirit Airlines, golf at The Norman Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf and The Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf, accommodations at Myrtle Beach Yacht Club, a welcome reception and meals.
“I am excited and looking forward to the opportunity to go to Myrtle Beach with my son and his friend, to play golf together alongside Dan Hampton and Dan McNeil,” Arndt said. “I have played golf in Myrtle Beach for the past 3 years with my wife and friends, but this will be a new experience for me. We are big Chicago Bears fans and wish to Thank 670, The Score and Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday for this opportunity of a lifetime.”
Bill Golden, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday's president, added, “We have enjoyed teaming up with 670 The Score to present ‘Chicago Cup Golf Challenge’ and welcome Arndt and O’Keefe and their friends to Myrtle Beach. Spirit Airline’s Chicago to Myrtle Beach direct flight has become a popular choice for golfers wanting to experience Grand Strand golf and we look forward to more Windy City golfers visiting in 2010.”
