Take a Swing Against Lung Disease with a Gift of Golf

LOUISVILLE, KY (11/20/2009)(readMedia)-- The American Lung Association's Golf Tour Book is truly the gift that keeps on giving all year long. Valid from January through December, the 2010 "Lung Book" includes discounts on over 2000 rounds of golf at more than 470 fine courses in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Many of the participating courses allow each bookholder multiple rounds; some permit one round a month; and 112 clubs allow unlimited play. Golfers are sure to enjoy playing at the beautiful Kentucky State Park courses included in the program.

"During this time of financial constraints, Golf Tour Books offer a great way for golfers to save money on their favorite hobby, while helping the American Lung Association save lives," said Carolyn Embry, who coordinates the program. All proceeds benefit the fight against lung disease and are used to support medical research, community health programs, advocacy and services for people suffering from lung ailments.

"The golf books make perfect stocking stuffers, thank-you gifts for business associates or presents for golfing friends and family members," said Embry. They may be purchased for $35 a piece or $105 for four: a buy-three, get-one-free foursome special. Orders placed now will be filled in time for holiday giving.

Golf Tour Books may be ordered by calling the American Lung Association at 1-877-893-5864 or by sending a check to the American Lung Association, P.O. Box 9067, Louisville, Kentucky 40209.

The books are also available at branches of AAA in Louisville, Elizabethtown, Owensboro, Bowling Green and Paducah. They may be purchased on-line at www.kylung.org.
