...that July is almost here!? It's surreal to me how soon July will be here and 2009 will be half over. July contains several blips on my radar -- Fourth of July holiday and a day off work (woo hoo!), the first issue of GCM to be available in a digital format (the publications staff got a preview of this the other day and it looks fantastic), a handful of birthdays, the last day for Dee Hoffmeier, GCSAA's longtime manager of conference education, who's retiring, the first-year anniversary of Mark Woodward as our CEO and the first day on the job for our new COO, Rhett Evans. Whew, busy month.
Yet another noteworthy July event is Play Golf America's Family Golf Month. The month-long program sponsored by the PGA of America aims to offer affordable family fun -- throughout July, participating golf facilities will offer activities tailored to fit the needs of all family members, young and old. Some examples include a free 3-hole family scramble at Pine Forest Country Club in Summerville, S.C.; family fun nights for $6 a person at Bridger Creek Golf Course in Bozeman, Mont.; and a drive-in movie night and teen pool party at The Peninsula Golf & Country Club in Millsboro, Del.
To find a facility near you that's participating in Family Golf Month, visit Play Golf America's Web site and enter your zip code. You'll also find online registration and more details on specific events. Also happening in July are two grow-the-game events supported by the PGA of America -- Take Your Daughter to the Course Week (also sponsored by the National Golf Course Owners Association and held July 6-12) and Bring Your Kids to the Golf Range (sponsored by the Golf Range Association of America and Golf Digest Publications and held throughout the month of July).
