(PHILADELPHIA, Pa.) - About the only way the Traveling Golfer will make it to the World Golf Hall of Fame is to do a show from the St. Augustine location. That's exactly what took place for the March episode of the award-winning television show.
The Traveling Golfer crew traveled to the St. Augustine area to take a look at America's oldest city, explore the cavernous environs of the World Golf Hall of Fame and enjoy its two great golf courses.
"I'm not waiting for induction. There's no chance of that," said Traveling Golfer host Tony Leodora. "But taking full advantage of the two great courses, the outstanding Renaissance Hotel and getting a VIP Tour of the World Golf Hall of Fame was an opportunity that was too much to pass up."
The two golf courses are an integral part of the complex that is conveniently located just off I-95 in the St. Augustine area. The original Slammer and Squire course was inspired by two of golf's legendary characters - Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. The championship King and Bear course is the only co-design by two of golf's greats - Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
All of this great golf frames the World Golf Hall of Fame, one of the world's great sports museums. The golf nut could spend an endless amount of hours exploring the many exhibits within the halls.
"Whether it is a repeat customer or a first-time visitor, there is so much to see here," said Dave Cordero, director of communications at the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum. "It is constantly changing and being updated. There are new features and new interactive attractions that capture the attention of anyone who is interested in golf."
The episode from the World Golf Hall of Fame and St. Augustine begins airing March 1 and runs throughout the month on the Traveling Golfer network of websites ... including The Golf Director Network (see full list of sites on travelinggolfervideo.com). It also will air on Monday, March 14 as part of the Press Box television show in Myrtle Beach, 5 to 7 p.m. on HTC Ch. 4. The Traveling Golfer also airs 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.
As part of every Traveling Golfer show there is the additional feature, "Tech Talk", hosted by Tour Edge Golf President Dave Glod. With years of experience as a clubmaker, Glod presents an inside look at the research and development of high-quality golf equipment.
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 trips to some of the most exciting golf locations. The show won first place for golf television broadcasts in the prestigious International Network of Golf Awards, presented at the PGA Merchandise Show in January.
The Traveling Golfer is a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 15 years of experience in televised golf. 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 home website, travelinggolfervideo.com. Past episodes also can be found on Xfinity On-Demand from Comcast.
