Golf Channel Show - Road Trip Myrtle Beach
Perry is currently in a 12-episode series follows former PGA Tour professional and current ESPN commentator Charlie Rymer, Hootie & the Blowfish band member Mark Bryan, musician Josh Kelley and Duramed Futures Tour player Perry Swenson as they enjoy an extended Myrtle Beach golf vacation. Each episode takes place at a different Grand Strand golf course and features light-hearted banter between cast members, course information and videos, game management tips and golf instruction by Rymer, the foursome's activities after golf at area restaurants and night spots and live, original music, including the show's theme song that was written and recorded by Bryan and Kelley. The show's fifth recurring member, a 1962 red convertible Cadillac, is easily recognizable as it transports the foursome along the Grand Strand.
Golf Channel will broadcast the first four episodes of Road Trip: Myrtle Beach in the United States and more than 50 countries around the world starting in February with the remaining eight shows to be broadcast in the fall of 2008.
