Burroughs & Chapin Company, Inc. created the Myrtle Beach Golf Hall of Fame in September 2008 in conjunction with Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday,
to honor the men and women who have played significant roles in all aspects of the Myrtle Beach area golf industry. Opening in March 2009 in
conjunction with the reopening of Pine Lakes Country Club, the Hall of Fame will be situated in the Pine Lake’s new Hall of
Fame Garden adjacent to the newly renovated clubhouse. Each inductee will be honored in the garden surrounding the Sports Illustrated
monument that memorializes the birthplace of the magazine at Pine Lakes in 1954. Four to six inductees will be honored in the
inaugural year with additional members inducted each April on the anniversary of the PGA of America’s foundation; in honor of
Robert White, the designer and first professional at Pine Lakes, as well as the first president of the PGA of America.
