Golfers' memories from the 2009 Take A Kid To The Course Week....
“My son Ben, who is 11, is just taking the sport up and I have been awaiting the day when we can go out some early weekend morning together. It looks like that time has come thanks to your program.”
- Grant Glady

“I wish to congratulate you and your sponsors that support the “Kids Golf Free Program” that allowed me to golf with my grandchildren. It’s events like this that establish memories for us all. Memories that I hope will never be forgotten.”
- Gord and Mary Dirk
