Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations
Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations and
Hurricanes - How to Weather the Storm
Hurricane season in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina runs from June through November
each year. The peak months for hurricane activity are August and September. If you are
planning a Myrtle Beach golf vacation during these times of the year, you should prepare
yourself before arriving at your golf destination. This article provides tips and advice on
how to weather any storm the tropics might throw at you while enjoying your golf
vacation.
NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, predicts that 2005 will
be another above-average Atlantic hurricane season. The organization predicts 12 to15
tropical storms, 7 to 9 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes. Vacationing golfers
should not take these predictions lightly. We have already seen one of the busiest Julys
in the history of hurricane tracking.
Golfers should not let these predictions deter them from taking a golf trip to the Myrtle
Beach area during the summer and fall seasons. Summer golf deals along the Grand
Strand are hotter than our southern summers. Also, fall in Myrtle Beach provides golfers
with dropping accommodation rates to accompany falling temperatures and humidity.
If you are unlucky enough to be right in the middle of a golf vacation when a hurricane
takes aim at the coast of the Carolinas, don't worry. Unlike an unexpected afternoon
thunderstorm, hurricanes do not sneak up on the South Carolina coast. This gives
vacationing golfers plenty of time to leave before the situation gets dangerous.
The best piece of advice we can offer if you plan on visiting the Grand Strand golf area
during hurricane season is to keep an eye on the extended Myrtle Beach weather
forecast. If a hurricane approaches during your trip, don't panic. As soon as it looks like
you may need to abandon your golf vacation, begin following these steps.
Most golf packages provide refunds or rain checks in the event of cancellations and
evacuations due to hurricanes. Make sure to ask about this before booking your Myrtle
Beach golf vacation. Even if you are not planning a Myrtle Beach golf trip during
hurricane season, go ahead and ask your golf package provider about refunds and
cancellations caused by bad weather.
Whatever you do, don't take the threat of hurricanes lightly. Pay attention to local
weather forecasts. Listen to local officials. Follow the steps above and giver yourself
plenty of time to evacuate your golf vacation destination safely.
