The Pearl Teams with Professional Female Golfer

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

The Pearl Golf's Sponsored GolferThis month we’ve been highlighting The Pearl’s sponsored golfer, Lauren Hunt of South Carolina, and her road to the LPGA. Teaming together has been advantageous for both The Pearl and Lauren, who has been playing at The Pearl since she was 13. The hospitable and comforting atmosphere is her favorite aspect of Ocean Isle Beach’s premiere golf course, but she especially enjoys the “layout and challenges the course gives. The finishing holes on both courses are scenic and great touches to end a round of golf.”

Sign up for our The Pearl’s RSS Feed and to watch Lauren’s career unfold! We look forward to watching her reach her long-term goals, including working closely with charities and being a mentor to children by becoming a golf coach. Lauren aims to help motivate young people whether it be though golf or simply helping them gain confidence or motivation in life.

Lauren Hunt: Her Love of the Game

Monday, October 18th, 2010

In a previous blog post, we introduced you to 23-year-old Lauren Hunt, a professional golfer sponsored by The Pearl. In Part Two of our Lauren Hunt series, we’d like to expand on her past experiences playing the game she chose to make her career.

The Pearl Golf Course's Professional GolferOn what she loves most about golf, Lauren said she loves the competition. “I get a thrill out of standing over a putt or shot and knowing it means something. I like to play against the best and compete on the highest level.” Even though she began competing in tournaments at the age of 8, the game she’s most proud of was at the Decatur Championship on the Futures Tour, where she was under par for all four rounds.

Choosing to be a professional golfer has allowed Lauren to play throughout the United States and even take her first trip out of the country. Playing at an oceanfront resort in Mexico, she enjoyed playing every morning at a truly unique location, which included caged tigers along the course! With mornings spent playing golf and afternoons on pristine Mexican beaches, Lauren is enjoying the opportunities professional golf has brought her.

Meet Lauren Hunt – The Latest Golfer Sponsored by The Pearl

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Lauren Hunt, Professional SC GolferThe Pearl is excited to introduce you to Lauren Hunt, a 23-year-old female golfer that has set her sites on playing in a LPGA Tour. A South Carolina native, Lauren is currently playing on the Duramed Futures Tour, which is the LPGA Developmental Tour. Teaming up with the Myrtle Beach area’s premiere golf course, The Pearl anticipates watching Lauren’s career unfold and will be highlighting her road to success through a series of blog posts!

Although Lauren played almost every sport she could play growing up, her time spent with her parents at the Brick Landing Golf Course in Ocean Isle Beach were influential in her early years. She picked up a golf club at the age of two and has been competing in tournaments since age eight. When she won the first tournament she played in, she knew golf would be a huge part of her life. During her junior and amateur career, she earned over 30 wins and earned a full golf scholarship from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

While she enjoys her time on the Duramed Futures Tour, she looks forward fulfilling the longtime dream of playing on an LPGA Tour. Lauren is taking full advantage of the new experiences she’s had since joining the tour, including being able to branch out into new areas including charities, fundraisers, speaking engagements and even artwork.
