Southwest Airlines and Bay County tourism officials met in Dallas on Wednesday to sign an agreement.

This agreement will put local bed-tax muscle behind the low-cost carrier’s efforts to market the allure of local beaches.

Southwest airlines will provide daily non-stop flights from 4 cities to the new airport. These cities have not been announced yet. The airline officials will adjust flight schedules to meet the new airport’s May 18 grand opening.

The Walton County Tourist Development Council is expected to authorize a deal with Southwest similar to the Bay County agreement for a half-cent bed tax that county recently approved.

Golf Digest writer Peter Finch comes to Seaside to explore golf at the beach.

In the November issue of Golf Digest Magazine writer Peter Finch talks about his visit to Seaside this past summer for a family vacation.   He mentions that there are more than a dozen golf courses within an hour of Seaside with the heaviest concentration in Destin, where there is the Sandestin Resort has four (three of them with 4-1/2 stars in Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play reader ratings).  He also mentions Kelly Plantation’s Fred Couples designed course but missed Regatta Bay’s course- which I believe is very nice.

Courses Played

The writer said he played Shark’s Tooth, Camp Creek and Origins.  Shark’s Tooth, a Greg Norman design that Golf Digest ranks as the eight-best in all of Florida was his favorite.

He talks about “The Truman Show” where Truman and his buddy Marlon are hitting golf balls into the distance and Truman says that he would like to get out and explore the world and Marlon says,

           “Where is there to go?”  “I went all over.  I never found a place like this, though.”

When you think about it — Seaside, Golf and the beach — there aren’t too many places like this.  Check out article and see what esle Mr. Finch has to say about the area.
