THE WEEK AHEAD

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Subhead

Play a nine-hole miniature golf course inspired by paintings such as “Owl” by Pablo Picasso and Monet’s “Waterlilies” and “Japanese Bridge,” on a ground-level, shaded course at the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach.

The course is part of the museum’s summer-long theme “Art for Fun and Learning.” Each hole will highlight the artist with interesting anecdotes. The cost is $3 per person for 9 holes and $5 per person for 18 holes.

Tickets can be purchased inside the museum at 3100 S. Ocean Boulevard. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

Ledisi at House of Blues

R&B songstress Ledisi will bring her “BGTY (Be Good To Yourself)” Tour with Eric Benet on Tuesday to House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach.

The show’s at 9 p.m., in Barefoot Landing on U.S. 17. General admission tickets are $29 in advance or $33 day of show, and reserved loge seats are $55.50-$70.50.

Spiderman on the big screen

“The Amazing Spider-Man,” starring a completely new cast from the Tobey Maguire-starring/Sam Raimi-directed trilogy, goes back to Peter Parker’s (Andrew Garfield) high school days as he attempts to find out what happened to his parents in a new Hollywood film opening this week.

Also representing a shift from the previous films and truer to the comic book version of “Spiderman,” Parker invents artificial webs instead of them being organic, and his love interest is Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone). The villain is The Lizard/Dr. Curt Connors ( Rhys Ifans).

The film officially opens Tuesday, but will hit many area theaters at midnight (or shortly thereafter) Monday, so check www.fandango.com for local show times and ticket prices.

Pelicans battle Red Sox

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, a Class A minor league baseball affiliate of the Texas Rangers, finish a three-game series against the Salem, Va., Red Sox tonight and Tuesday before heading out of town for a pair of series in Winston-Salem, N.C., and Wilmington, N.C. It’ll be the last chance to catch the Pelicans at home until after the All-Star break.

Tonight’s “Kids Eat Free” promotion offers a free hot dog, soda and chips to all children ages 12 and under with a ticket. Tuesday’s game will be capped by a fireworks show.

Game time is 7:05 p.m. each night at the Pelicans stadium, located at the corner of Grissom Parkway and 21st Avenue North in Myrtle Beach. Call 918-6000 for ticket information.
