Phillip Graham

Phillip began his career in the golf car industry in 1968 when there were only five Myrtle Beach area golf courses. He worked in the golf car industry for more than 50 years until he passed away in 2019 from lung cancer. Over the course of his long career, Phillip’s hard work and dedication were a leading force as the golf industry changed. He provided a strong support system for the golf course owners, as Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area transformed from a small beach community to The Golf Capital of the World.

He worked directly for E-Z-GO as the Branch Manager for more than 30 years before he purchased the business and became the regional distributor for E-Z-GO in 2003. As regional distributor, he was able to offer a more direct level of local service to all customers. Under his leadership, Graham E-Z-GO was able to gain market share and develop strong relationships with customers. Because of his character, he often did business with a handshake and a promise. Thanks to his hard work and dedication throughout his career, Graham E-Z-GO received numerous awards including Branch of the Year, Distributor of Year and became the largest US Distributor for E-Z-GO.

Phillip was a member of Pine Grove Baptist Church in Conway, SC. He served as a deacon for most of his church life and remained a committed member until his death. He was dedicated to helping those less fortunate and growing the church family. He was never one to talk about the many contributions he made to various charities or causes, but he always tried to make the world a better place or a little easier for those who needed help.
