Grand Strand Palmetto Pulse June/July

Bryan Rapp Sculps a Work of Art for the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic Winner (*will know winner after May 10th)

The winner’s trophy for this year's ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is a 21-pound bronze plate, sculpted for the event by Bryan Rapp, 52, the director of the Master Sculpture Program at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet since 2019. The bronze plate, which measures 11” in diameter and sits atop a two-tiered granite base, was hoisted for the first time by New Zealander Ryan Fox last May after he chipped in on the first playoff hole to earn the title.

The trophy plate, which takes almost six months to create each year and includes design, molding, casting and outside foundry work, represents a timeless moment particular to the Myrtle Beach area.
