Take Your Daughter to the Course
Week, July 9-15
This week, the PGA of America and
the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) are encouraging everyone to
introduce their daughters, granddaughters and nieces to the game of golf during
Take Your Daughter to the Course Week, July 9-15. Designed to promote overall
participation in golf, especially among girls and their families, Take Your
Daughter to the Course Week is one of many Family Golf Month programs held in
July.
One of the unique things about the
game of golf is the opportunity it provides for individual growth to those who
participate. Values such as personal
integrity, discipline and self-control are not just a part of the game, they
are the essence of the game itself and are reinforced with every bad bounce or
tricky lie. For parents of young girls, golf can be an extremely valuable tool
to help develop and nurture these characteristics in their daughters.
Parents should also consider other
long-term benefits of introducing their daughters to the game at a young age,
especially as it relates to business opportunities later on in their
lives. A round of golf is often a major
component in the completion of a business deal, and women who have at least a
basic skill level and understanding of the game will have a tremendous
advantage over their competition.
Canongate offers a wide variety of
opportunities for parents that want to get their daughters involved in the game
including:
• Get Golf Ready for Juniors
• Junior Golf Camps
• Kids Play Free!
• Junior Golf Expos
With all these options available
to you and your family, why not take your daughter outside and PLAY today?

July is Family Golf Month
When most folks think
of the month of July, images of cookouts, fireworks and time spent with family
and friends most often come to mind. But July is not only the time when we
celebrate our nation's independence, in fact, it has also been designated as
Family Golf Month by the PGA of America.
Family Golf Month
promotes golf as a fun, family recreation by providing structured, yet casual,
opportunities for families to learn the game.
According to PGA of
America President Allen Wronowski, family golf also offers a variety of
benefits in addition to quality time spent together.
"Golf teaches
important lessons like discipline, honesty, sportsmanship and etiquette, and
having parents on the course with young golfers only increases the chance that
those lessons are taken to heart," said Wronowski. "Family Golf Month
is a great way to improve the health and fellowship of the whole family, and it
hopefully will encourage the next generation of golfers to take up a game they
will enjoy for a lifetime."
Canongate currently
offers several opportunities for families looking to enjoy the game with their
kids. Most notably, allowing kids to play free at all of our clubs. With many
people enjoying some much-needed time off this week in celebration of the
July 4th holiday, why not take advantage of time away from our hectic schedules
and get out on the golf course with those closest to us?
Take life outside and
Play today! |
