Family Golf Month

PGA and LPGA Professionals nationwide are celebrating Family Golf Month this July by making it easier than ever for families to learn and enjoy the game of golf together. Throughout July and the rest of the summer, nearly 2,200 participating courses nationwide will offer a variety of programs designed for families to learn and play golf together for no cost or for an affordable rate. Consumers can visit PlayGolfAmerica.com to find local family and junior golf programs.

Some of the programs being offered include Family Golf Clinics, Family Play Days, Get Golf Ready for Families, Kids Play Free programs, family-friendly and TEE IT FORWARD course setups, free use of junior clubs and Bring Your Kids to the Range, to name a few. During the week of July 9-15, The PGA of America teams up with the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) to promote Take Your Daughter to the Course Week, a program designed to promote overall participation in golf, especially among girls and their families. Participating facilities offer at least one complimentary instructional clinic and free green fees to juniors accompanied by a paying adult.

Tourism Scotland Representatives from Scotland’s golf industry will come together at a national summit in July to discuss how best to capitalise on the 2014 Ryder Cup and an unprecedented run of major events at the Home of Golf. The National Golf Forum, organised by the industry’s trade body Golf Tourism Scotland (GTS), will address key issues affecting the industry which is estimated to be worth around £220 million a year and responsible for more than 7,000 jobs. Golf clubs, accommodation providers and tourism businesses are being reminded to book their places for the event at the Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club on July 3.
