Bring Your Kids to the Golf Range
In today's world, it seems like people don't have the time to play a traditional round of golf. As a result, Play Golf America provides families with numerous options to enjoy the great game of golf, yet not commit to playing a full 18 holes. A great family activity can be to go to a near-by golf range and hit a few buckets of balls. From learning to grip the club to a high-tech lesson, going to the range can be a great day or night out for families. To make this easier, golf ranges across the country will be participating in "Bring Your Kids to the Golf Range."
