U.S. Kids Golf Canton East Fall Tour coming to Youngstown

October 14, 2011 at 12:00a.m.

The U.S. Kids Golf Canton East Fall Tour will kick off on Saturday at Avalon Lakes Country Club. Throughout the late fall, U.S. Kids will head to six of the finest courses in the Youngstown area. The final tour championship will be held on Nov. 13 at the Lake Club.

These tours provide boys and girls, ages 5 to 14, the opportunity to advance their golf skills in age-appropriate competition without having to take the time and incur the costs of traveling. Similar to the PGA Tour, players at U.S. Kids golf events are encouraged to have caddies help them play their best. Allowing caddies is a special component to the tournaments and is part of the commitment to encouraging family interaction that builds lasting memories.

For more information, contact Doug Lemons, PGA Tournament Director, at 330-412-2320 or email him at douglas_lemons@yahoo.com. For additional information or to sign up, visit www.uskidsgolf.com
