Playing Golf - Top Golf Lessons, Indoor Driving Range, Golf Simulators | Play-A-Round

Thank You for Coming!

Attending a US Open practice round at Merion was one of the thrills of my life. I didn't care if I was slogging through the mud following group after group. The tight course was crowded in spite of the mud. I didn't care. To see so many of the professionals was a real delight and one that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Dear USGA, It's Time to Respect ALL Golfers!

Dear USGA, As you near the end of another outdoor golf season, no doubt you and your staff will meet to assess this past season. You'll probably pat yourselves on the back for another great job. However, we have a bone to pick with you. May we suggest that you remember that you represent all of us who play the game. "And, if you play golf, you're my friend."  ~ Harvey Penick Future USGA Members? Sometime over this "off season" we expect you will send a solicitation for us to ... Read more...
