Golf Today: Players, Events and Fields

Chasing a little white ball around many acres of land has been considered a good walk spoiled by some.  Depending on how I’m hitting that ball, I sometimes may agree.  But, for the most part, I don’t.  From communing with nature to bonding with friends to rooting hard for your favorite players and wishing you were playing some of the world’s famous golfing venues, the game of golf is something that takes hold of the beginner and the lifelong devotee equally. 

Visit Golf Today in The Washington Times Communities regularly and learn why we return to the game time and again.  Along the way, join in our grassroots endeavor to return the sporting qualities to the game.
