Golfing Families Invited For A Fun And FREE Day of Golf Activities & Instruction
ORLANDO, Fla. – July 2, 2009…Marriott Golf, one of the world’s premier golf operators, is once again reaching out to families all over the world and promoting “togetherness in golf.” Marriott’s Grande Pines Golf Club and Faldo Golf Institute , both in Orlando, Fla., today announced that they will be coming together to host the second annual Family Golf Festival on Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The festival will take place at Faldo Golf Institute at 12001 Avenida Verde, Orlando FL, 32821.
The Marriott International Family Golf Festival, which encourages parents and children to learn and play the game together, invites families to Marriott’s Grande Pines/Faldo Golf Institute for an afternoon of FREE golf instruction, clinics, fun activities, interactive golf games, family golf programs, a chance to win a variety of prizes and much more. In addition, after 3 p.m., families and children can play golf for free as part of Marriott Golf’s Kids Golf-4-Free program.
The Marriott International Family Golf Festival is another effort by Marriott to promote family golf. In 2005, Marriott Golf launched “Kids Golf-4-Free,” a first-of-its-kind program that enables kids up to 15 years old to golf for free after 3 p.m. when accompanied by a full paying adult. In addition, Marriott Golf also offers free lessons anytime to kids up to 15 years old when accompanied by an adult who is taking a fully paid lesson from a Marriott Golf instructor. This program, which is available at some of Marriott Golf’s most prestigious resort destinations worldwide, was complemented in 2007 by the “Kids Rent-4-Free” program, which provides kids 15 years old and under with a free rental set of Accu-Length clubs when they participate in the “Kids Golf-4-Free” program.
