Junior Golfers Enjoy $1 Green Fees Countywide in July

The month of July just got a whole lot sweeter for youngsters 18 and under who enjoy playing a round of golf.

In a motion by Supervisor Don Knabe, July 2011 has been declared “Junior Golfers Appreciation Month” throughout Los Angeles County, and to salute the County’s young golfers, green fees have been reduced to $1, according a news release from Supervisor Knabe's office.

During the entire month of July, junior golfers (18 and under) can play golf for $1, after 12 p.m. at all 17 L.A. County golf courses. The young golfer must be accompanied by an adult who has paid a regular adult fee, senior fee, twilight fee or super-twilight fee.  In addition, each golf course will hold a free “Special Skills Day” including activities such as free lessons, clinics, skills challenge contests, and other such events that will improve and promote junior golf participation.

“Youth sports programs have traditionally been valuable recreational activities for the young residents of Los Angeles County," said Supervisor Knabe. "Not only do they offer an opportunity for kids of all ages to learn new physical, social, and mental skills, but youth sports also serve as a crime deterrent."

“This is a great way for us to show our appreciation to all of our junior golfers who use our County golf courses," he added.
