Sponsorship is available at the title, tee, hole, beverage cart, and awards-dinner levels.
What is a two-man shootout in golf?
A two-man shootout is a tournament format where teams of two players compete using a mix of scoring formats - typically a combination of best ball, scramble, and alternate shot across 18 holes. Pinseekers two-man shootouts use this rotating-format structure to keep all skill levels engaged.

A buddies trip is a group golf vacation organized for friends - usually 4 to 24 players - that combines multiple rounds across several courses with shared lodging and evening activities. Buddies trips are the most common reason people travel to Myrtle Beach for golf.
What is a golf travel concierge?
A golf travel concierge is a service that plans and books every part of a golf trip on a client's behalf - courses, tee times, lodging, transfers, and reservations - so the group only has to show up and play. Pinseekers Travel operates as a concierge for both individual trips and group outings.
Do you sell golf equipment or apparel?
Yes. The Pinseekers shop carries the Vessel Pinseekers Backpack ($325) - a co-branded premium golf backpack - and the Sweet Spot 7-Iron ($150), Billy Belair's signature undersized training iron. Both are available for direct order.

The Sweet Spot 7-Iron is Billy Belair's signature training iron. Its undersized clubface forces center-strike contact and gives instant feedback on every miss, accelerating ball-striking improvement between lessons.
