Voted “Best Golf School in Myrtle Beach”

“One of Golf Magazine’s to 25 Golf Schools in America” 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2008

A few words from Classic Swing 

The Classic Swing Golf School teaches golf on an individual basis. Personal attention, quality instruction, and a time honored curriculum are things that have made our school a success. We do not rebuild or tear down swings but reprogram through proper information. We believe in evaluating every student’s body type, personality, skill level, and golf goals. We use state-of-the-art technology, such as high speed video analysis, and the latest teaching aids, but we use them in relation to what has worked for hundreds of years. Our communication skills, sound proven techniques and our knowledge of the golf swing have allowed us to lower the handicaps of weekend players, fine tune the skills of advanced players, or give beginners the sound fundamentals necessary for a lifetime of more enjoyable golf.

At the Classic Swing Golf School, we pride ourselves on ensuring customer satisfaction. Our entire staff is dedicated to helping each student achieve his/her golf goals while exceeding their expectations. Conveniently located in Myrtle Beach, at Legends Resort, we strive to provide the highest quality instruction along with the most fun and relaxing environment available. 

The entire staff at the Classic Swing Golf School is very proud of our junior golf program. The goal of the junior golf program is to ensure that each junior receives instruction on all aspects of the game including their swing, rules, golf etiquette, and sportsmanship in an attempt to teach them a game that can be enjoyable for a lifetime. Whether a junior golfer is picking up a club for the first time, sharpening their skills for a junior tournament, preparing for high school golf, or striving for a college scholarship, the Classic Swing Golf School has a program to fit him/her.

We provide various opportunities, from junior camps to the three day schools to individual lessons, for the junior golfers to access the finest in golf instruction. We have many junior golfers that attend our three day school throughout the year. This has proven to be a wonderful way for families to enjoy a golf school vacation together. Our summer junior golf camps are operating for a 21st consecutive year for ages 5-17, and the schedule for the upcoming summer is listed below. We also offer individual lessons to students of all ages during all seasons.

The state-of-the-art practice facilities at Legends Resort are the finest on the east coast. The staff of the Classic Swing Golf School understands that creating the best possible learning environment is an important part of the golf school experience, and we pride ourselves on providing a first class atmosphere for our students. Along with the wisdom of the staff, our private teaching area at Legends is just another item that sets us apart from any other golf school.

The Legends Resort is home to the “Best Practice Facility in Myrtle Beach” as voted on by the readers of Myrtle Beach Golf Magazine. This award winning facility is host to a thirty acre driving range with more than twenty target areas and is the largest on the east coast. The short game facilities include multiple chipping areas, pitching areas, greenside bunkers, and a five acre putting green. Legends features covered hitting areas for those days when Mother Nature takes over, and the entire facility is lighted until 11:00 p.m. daily.

We love what we do and we GUARANTEE improvement!

Here are a few reasons to own a second home

Enjoyment
A second home offers a getaway from the stresses of everyday life, giving you an opportunity to recharge, relax, and gain perspective. Whether it is playing golf, relaxing on the beach, playing tennis or whatever makes you happy your second home should be considered your R&R headquarters.

Retirement
Real Estate is an investment in your future. Your favorite location might be a lot more expensive in 5-10 years when you plan on retiring. Mortgage rates are at historic lows – now is the time to Buy!

Investment
Diversification: With the instability of the stock market real estate offers a chance to diversify into a non-aggressive investment.

Appreciation: Despite all the negative Media reports and some short term loss of value, Home Values long-term have and will continue to rise.

Rental Income: Renting your second home can often offset Home Owners Dues (HOA Fees), Insurance, Taxes, and sometimes depending on the desirability of the property even help with the mortgage.

Taxes and Mortgages: Cost associated with second home ownership often provides tax right offs during ownership or when you sell the property. Please consult with your accountant if this is the main reason you are purchasing a second home.

A thought for Thanksgiving!

What has happened to the age old investment adages of Buy Low – Sell High and Buy on Bad News, Sell on Good News? It seems we are in the exact opposite state of mind.  Everyone is trying to sell either from necessity or fear… And not buying because of fear…

How many times have you seen or heard the following?

Bring any offer
No offer is too low
Seller must sell

WHERE ARE THE BUYERS? WHY ARE THEY NOT BUYING?

With the FED’s announcement of a massive new program to buy mortgage-backed securities rates have made a historical drop.  This perfect storm of pricing, supply, and mortgage rates is not likely to been seen again in our lifetime. 

Ask your potential buyers do you want to be in the first wave and get the Best deals or in the second wave and get the ok deals?  To use a basketball phrase now is the time to “cherry pick”.

One final thought to remember – Nobody ever times the top or the bottom – Has the real estate market hit bottom? No one knows… However, it is HIGHLY unlikely we will see another 20 or 30% pull back in pricing…

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY REAL ESTATE… Real Estate is cyclical and the greatest long term investment on earth.

A bailout for the real estate market and maybe the economy

…a simple two part solution that will not cost taxpayers a dollar out of pocket 

With billions of dollars flowing into various industries and no apparent results or an end in sight, what is the answer?  By now, everyone is aware the root cause of the economic downturn is real estate and real estate mortgages.  

The solution is simple.  The first part everyone will like.  The second part will not be so popular, but is an evil we will have to live with.

First, we are all aware that outside of diminishing consumer confidence largely perpetuated by the media; the biggest trouble in the housing industry is SUPPLY.  There are simply too many homes for sale!  How do we cure this problem?  We need demand and urgency… 

If Congress would enact a law making every real estate purchase completed prior to December 31, 2009, exempt from Capital Gains, investors would flee the instability of the stock market and flood into the real estate market.

The demand comes from the investors leaving the stock market and others looking to capitalize on the exemption…they have to have somewhere to put their money. 

The urgency comes from this being a ONE YEAR exemption.  Any home bought in the 2009 tax year will not be subject to Capital Gains Taxes when sold – EVER.  With people flooding back into the market not only will inventory/supply dwindle, prices will stabilize, homeowners will regain equity lost, and much more.  With regained equity and stability, consumer confidence will be improved and people will start spending money again…and in turn jobs will be created.

The Second part needs a little preamble – A lot of you are going to say this is not “FAIR.”  I will retort with my standard answer to this childish word – “NOTHING IN LIFE IS FAIR.”  Fair is a word that should only be used by children because the concept or at least the execution of fairness does not exist in the real world.

On to the second part of the solution – Mortgage resets, troubled mortgages, and mortgages in some stage of foreclosure.  

These properties are FLOODING the Real Estate market with “For Sale” homes that should not or do not need to be “on the market.”

Congress needs to pass a law resetting every home mortgage for owners that are more than 30 days behind.  This means that the deficiency (delinquent payments) would be added to the back end of the mortgage allowing homeowners to get caught up.

Congress also needs to pass a law resetting every Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to a flat fixed rate in the range of 5.5% to 6.0% and extend out the mortgage term of the loan. This will help the homeowners who qualified at teaser rates, but now cannot afford payments that have increased more than 50%.  To stabilize the market, we need these people to stay in their homes and keep them off the market.  Is this going to save everyone?  Of course not!  Some people can’t be saved and this is just another fact that proves nothing in life is fair.

I know your thoughts - What about me? I have been working my tail off to pay my mortgage on time. Why should they get a break and not me?  Well, you are getting a break…just not one that is immediately visible.  What good is it if you are paying your mortgage and four of the homes in your neighborhood go into foreclosure and sell at auction for FRACTIONS of their value?  If you bought your home for $300,000 and 4 similar homes in your neighborhood sell for $200,000 – your home is not worth the $300,000 that you paid.  It is now likely worth $200,000.  So, with the loss of property value, your bank may freeze or cancel any equity lines that you have tied to your property.  Are you seeing any benefit yet?

Are these two suggestions some magical cure for the economy?  No they are not.  However, these changes could be a strong foundation to stimulate economic recovery.
