For centuries, golfers have played regular weekly rounds, often in groups that provide extra opportunity to create community, have some fun, and keep swinging. Some leagues travel from course to course, others play in the same place each week. Some leagues are competitive, others are just for fun and fellowship. At Play-a-Round Golf, we provide all of the above. Good News...we're happy to announce the next season is  Here are the particulars... We begin a new league with the changing of ... Read more...
