Mickey McCamish
Tournament Director and Destination Builder
After a decorated 27 year U. S. Navy career followed by employment with the DuPont Company as its Tournament Director of the McDonald’s LPGA Championship, McCamish was recruited by Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday as its Tournament Director of the Senior PGA TOUR Championship.
After visiting and corresponding with several companies, Eveready Battery Company with its Energizer brand was signed as the title sponsor and the Senior PGA TOUR Championship became the Energizer Senior PGA TOUR Championship.
McCamish then became Executive Director of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday and promptly established an aggressive community effort to bring direct air service to Myrtle Beach, which was needed to help fill 120 golf courses. Additionally, during his tenure, member dues were restructured based on rounds of golf played.
More than words may express, McCamish’s contributions to the Myrtle Beach golf community was only possible as result of support from his wife Carol, daughter Shannon and son Chad.
