🏆 2026 PLAYERS OF THE YEAR — MYRTLE BEACH CHAPTER 🏆

A full season in the books, and here are the players who stood on top of their divisions when all the cards were counted. ⛳️

🥇 DIVISION 1 — CHIP COLLINS
The deepest field we've got, full of players who can beat par on any given day. Chip outlasted every one of them. Nobody backs into a Division 1 title. 🔥

🥇 DIVISION 2 — MARK BALLEW
A division loaded with guys who can go low, which means nowhere to hide across a whole season. Mark never gave anyone the opening and held the top spot to the finish. 💪

🥇 DIVISION 3 — PAT RYAN
A grinder's division where the scores bunch tight and two loose holes drop you five spots. Pat kept delivering, event after event, without the wheels ever coming off. 👏

🥇 DIVISION 4 — CHRIS HUGE
Showed up, competed, and stacked good round on good round until the season was his. That's the hardest kind of golf there is to play. ⛳️

🥇 DIVISION 5 — JAMES EBERT
A full season of steady, consistent play to take the division. James is on the mend after back surgery and every one of us is pulling for him. Take the time you need and get that back all the way healthy — we'll be looking for you on the first tee. 🙏

🥇 MID-AM NET — BILLY GILLILAND
Disciplined golf all year long, keeping the big number off the card week after week. That's exactly how net titles get won. 💪

🥇 SENIOR NET — DAVE FUNKHOUSER
Razor-thin margins from the first event to the last, and Dave stayed in front of all of them. A short game he can trust and the patience to match. 🏆

Player of the Year isn't won on one good afternoon. It's earned across a full calendar — showing up, competing, and staying steady when the golf gets hard. Every one of these players did it. 🙌

Congratulations to all seven of our 2026 champions. Thank you for making this chapter what it is. We love having each of you out here with us, and we can't wait to do it all again in 2027! 🌴⛳️

Congratulations to Chip Collins, your Myrtle Beach Chapter Division 1 Player of the Year! ⛳️

Division 1. The top of the board. The guys who can beat par on any given day, and you've got to outlast every one of them for a full season to claim this one. 🔥

Chip did exactly that — showing up week after week against the best sticks in the chapter and refusing to give ground. Nobody backs into a Division 1 Player of the Year title. You earn it in the toughest field we've got, and Chip earned it. 💪

Chip, we love having you on this tour. You raise the level of every event you tee it up in, and we can't wait to see what you do in 2027. 🙌

Congratulations — one heck of a season! 👏🏆🌴

Congratulations to Mark Ballew, your Myrtle Beach Chapter Division 2 Player of the Year! ⛳️

Division 2 is loaded with players who can go low, which means there's nowhere to hide across a full season. One flat stretch and somebody passes you. Mark never gave anyone that opening — he kept posting, kept contending, and held the top spot all the way to the finish. 💪

A whole year of quality golf against a strong field. That's what this trophy represents. 🔥

Mark, we're glad to have you out here with us, and we're already looking forward to what you'll do in 2027. 🙌

Congratulations — you earned every bit of it! 👏🏆🌴

🏆 2026 DIVISION 3 PLAYER OF THE YEAR 🏆

Congratulations to Pat Ryan, your Myrtle Beach Chapter Division 3 Player of the Year! ⛳️

Division 3 is a grinder's division. The scores bunch up, the field is deep, and a couple of loose holes will drop you five spots in the standings before you know it. Staying on top across a whole season means Pat kept delivering, event after event, without the wheels ever coming off. 💪

That's consistency, patience, and a golf game he can count on when it matters. 🔥

Pat, you're a great one to have on this tour, and we're looking forward to seeing you back out there in 2027. 🙌

Congratulations — well deserved! 👏🏆🌴

Congratulations to Chris Huge, your Myrtle Beach Chapter Division 4 Player of the Year! ⛳️

Player of the Year isn't won on one good afternoon. It's earned over a full season — showing up event after event, posting solid number after solid number, and staying in the hunt when the golf gets hard. Chris did exactly that, and when the season was all totaled up, he was standing on top of the division. 💪

That's a whole year of consistency, and it's the hardest kind of golf to play. 🔥

Chris, we love having you as part of this tour. You're the kind of member who makes our events better just by being out there, and we're already looking forward to seeing what 2027 brings. 🙌

Congratulations again — enjoy it, you earned every bit of it! 👏🏆
