GOLFERS CAN HIT THE LINKS WITH LUNG ASSOCIATION GOLF BOOK!

LOUISVILLE KY (04/28/2015)(readMedia)-- Perfect golfing weather has arrived in Kentucky, and the American Lung Association has a great offer for golfers who want to save money on their rounds.

It's the Kentucky Golf Tour Book, which includes discounts on more than 5,000 rounds of golf at over 250 fine facilities in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio. All Kentucky state park courses are included in the program.

Each participating golf course offers book holders a reduced rate on one or more rounds of golf; some courses permit one round a month; and 59 clubs allow unlimited play. The book also includes driving range and indoor golf discounts.

Golf Tour Books may be purchased for only $35 a piece or four for $105 – a buy 3, get 1 free "fabulous foursome special."

"As golfers hit the links this spring, they are looking for ways to save money so they can play more often," said Carolyn Embry, who coordinates Kentucky Golf Tour Book program for the American Lung Association. "The Golf Tour Book is packed with discounts for the golfer, while also saving lives by supporting lung disease research and other critical lung health programs," she said.

Savings apply throughout 2015, said Embry, who encourages people to pick up extra Golf Tour Books for family members and friends or for any special gift-giving occasions.

All proceeds from Golf Tour Book sales benefit the American Lung Association. Revenue generated from the program helps fund life-saving medical research; education; support groups for people with chronic lung ailments; and advocacy for public policy in support of the charity's mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
