RITSON-SOLE GOLF SCHOOL EXTENDS “BEST EVER GOLF SCHOOL” PACKAGE FOR COUPLES

Pawleys Island Golf School Rated Top Five in the Nation by GOLF Magazine

October 12, 2010, Pawleys Island, S.C. – The Ritson-Sole Golf School in Pawleys Island, S.C. announced today that it has extended the “Best Ever Golf School” package through May 31, 2011. The package rate ranges from $799 to $999 per person based on double occupancy and includes three days of golf instruction, two rounds of golf at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club, three nights fairway accommodations and daily breakfast.

“The demand from golfing couples has been overwhelming, so we have decided to extend this particular package,” said Rosemary Sole, director of marketing for the Phil Ritson – Mel Sole Golf School. “The ‘Best Ever Golf School Package’ has held particular appeal for couples.  They love the concept of three half-days of instruction, followed by free afternoons for hitting the course or the beach.  The fact that they can enjoy a golf getaway like this for under $1,000 each is further incentive for both working and retired couples.”

The golf school has several instructors including owner Mel Sole, who is a GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest Top Teacher. Class size is limited to four students to ensure plenty of individual attention. Unlike most golf schools, students are not moved to different instructors for chipping, putting, iron play and other aspects of the golf swing. Each class stays with its own instructor throughout all parts of the full swing and short game to maximize efficient and effective improvement for each student.

"A package like this would cost three or four times as much at any other Top 25 golf school," said Jann Walker, director of marketing at Pawleys Plantation. "Mel's commitment to making top instruction affordable is one of the reasons that the Ritson-Sole Golf School is considered one of the best values among America's top schools."

To register for this package, or for more information, call (843) 237-4993, or visit Ritson-Sole.com.
