MB National honors Retired Military players

Participants in 26th annual National Retired Military Golf Classic were greeted with a special tribute this week at Myrtle Beach National golf club. Mike Hough has painted into the grass a 20-by-40 foot American Flag between the practice putting green and clubhouse, with ``Thanks'' painted beneath the flag. The tournament features 1,008 players who are either retired military members or their family members. The event is being played Wednesday through Saturday at Aberdeen Country Club, Long Bay Club and three courses at Myrtle Beach National on U.S. 501 and has a scramble format. There are shotgun starts at 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day. The Sun News may be running a picture of the flag in the coming days.
