The Traveling Golfer in the Outer Banks


(PHILADELPHIA, Pa.) - The Wright Brothers went there to give birth to the age of flight. Now people flock to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to play golf on a spectacular assortment of golf courses ... and enjoy some of the most relaxed and history-soaked beach vacationing in America.

Golf and beach activities during the day ... feasting on some of the finest and freshest seafood in America by night. That is the subject of the August episode of the award-winning Traveling Golfer television show.

The Traveling Golfer takes viewers on a trip to three of the award-winning golf courses in the Outer Banks area, provides them with great ideas for accommodations, and tops it off with a long list of attractions, activities and restaurants that could easily fill the times in between designated relaxation in one of America's great family vacation destinations.

"We have been watching people come to the Outer Banks and get addicted to this lifestyle for years," says Aaron Tuell, public relations manager for the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. "The allure of the Outer Banks is contagious. Families love the atmosphere and, now, golfers are finding the same advantages of a one-stop vacation."

The three courses visited during the show include Kilmarlic Golf Club, The Carolina Club and Nags Head Golf Links, plus information provided about The Currituck Club and The Pointe Golf Club which are all part of the PlayOBXGolf.com golf getaway program.

"The assortment of quality golf courses in the area is amazing," reports Traveling Golfer host Tony Leodora. "These three courses are about as different as any three courses possibly could be. Each has its own special attraction."

The episode from the Outer Banks begins airing August 1 and runs throughout the month on The Traveling Golfer Network of websites ... including The Golf Director Network (see full list of sites on www.travelinggolfervideo.com). It also will air on Monday, August 10 as part of the Press Box television show in Myrtle Beach, 5 to 7 p.m. on HTC Ch. 4. As of April, the Traveling Golfer began airing in its entirety as a scheduled weekly feature show on Comcast SportsNet and The Comcast Network throughout the Philadelphia, Mid-Atlantic, North Jersey and Pittsburgh markets.

Responding to golfers' never-ending demands to learn more about interesting golf courses and golf resorts across the country and around the world, well-traveled host Tony Leodora created the Traveling Golfer so he could take viewers on video golf trips to some of the most exciting golf locations. The show won a first place award for golf television broadcasts in the prestigious International Network of Golf Media Awards, presented at the PGA Merchandise Show in January.

The Traveling Golfer appears as a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 15 years of experience in televised golf shows. The featured destination stays on the website for one month, before being replaced by a new show. The old shows are archived for continued viewing on the home website, www.travelinggolfervideo.com.  Past episodes also can be found on Xfinity On-Demand from Comcast.
