Junior rates serve as another opportunity under the Play Golf America Family Golf Month umbrella. Family Golf Month provides a structured, yet casual, opportunity for families to learn the game of golf and spend uninterrupted quality time together. Every family member-young and old-can participate and receive the benefits a round of golf provides, including fresh air and beautiful outdoor scenery as well as a healthy dose of exercise.

"There is no need to travel far from home this year to enjoy your vacation, when affordable summer fun is right around the corner at your local golf course during Family Golf Month," said PGA of America President Jim Remy.

Nationwide, approximately 1,000 golf courses have registered to host Family Golf Month programs, with over 2,000 unique family golf opportunities currently listed on PlayGolfAmerica.com.

Play Golf America, designed to increase participation among new and occasional adult golfers, was developed by The PGA of America, with the support of Allied Associations including: the LPGA, National Golf Course Owners Association, PGA Tour, USGA and others involved in the annual Golf 20/20 Conference. The program utilizes the PlayGolfAmerica.com Web site to serve as a link for consumers to access fun, affordable and informative programs in their area.
