The Traveling Golfer television show – hosted by Tony Leodora, with producer Jamie McWilliams and associate producer Eddie Caiazzo – once again has been recognized for television excellence. The show received an Outstanding Achievement Award, presented by the International Network of Golf at the

PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. This follows three consecutive years of being named

the No. 1 Golf Television Show in America.

Wednesday, in a packed ING meeting room at the PGA Show, the Traveling Golfer show

received the award from among a record number of entries in the highly competitive

category. In only its fifth year on air, the Traveling Golfer show prevailed after submitting

the show it did from The Abaco Club in the Bahamas.

“We had a spectacular location, with a great story to tell about a renovated Donald Steele

and Tom Mackenzie-designed golf course” explained Leodora, who accepted the award on

behalf of the entire Traveling Golfer team. “This private club/paradise is in a lesser known

and more relaxed area of The Bahamas. The key was to portray that laid-back lifestyle.”

While The Abaco Club show was the one submitted to the panel of judges for this year’s

award, Leodora is quick to point out that any number of shows from 2018 could have been

judged as winners.

“We did shows from places like Florida’s First Coast of Golf, St. Michael’s on the

Chesapeake Bay, Sebring (Fla.), the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Myrtle Beach,” said Leodora. “The variety of host venues is a key contributor to the success of the show.”

The Traveling Golfer show runs monthly on the Traveling Golfer network of websites including The Golf Director Network (see full list of sites on  travelinggolfervideo.com ). It also airs each month as part of the Rivertalk television show in Myrtle Beach on HTC Ch. 4.

The main television exposure for the Traveling Golfer comes from its scheduled weekly

feature show on NBC Sports and NBC Sports + throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic

regions. NBC Sports airings are 10:30 a.m. Sundays, 11 p.m. on Tuesdays and 11 a.m.

Thursdays. NBC Sports + airs the show at 6 p.m. Mondays and Fridays.

As part of every Traveling Golfer show there is the additional feature, ‘Tech Talk’, hosted

by Tour Edge Golf experts, such as President Dave Glod. With years of experience as a

club maker, Glod presents an inside look at the research and development of high-quality

golf equipment.

Responding to golfers’ never-ending demands to learn more about interesting golf courses

and golf resorts across the country and around the world, well-traveled host Tony Leodora

created the Traveling Golfer in February of 2013 so he could take viewers on video trips to

some of the most exciting golf locations.

The Traveling Golfer is a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 18 years of

experience in televised golf. The featured destination stays on the website for one month,

before being replaced by a new show. The old shows are archived for continued viewing on

home website,  www.travelinggolfervideo.com.
