(PANORAMA VILLAGE, TX) – Legendary golfer Billy Casper will conduct putting and short-game clinics and relate stories about the PGA TOUR, his Hall-of-Fame career and golf in general at The Village Golf Club on Friday, August 14 from noon to 3 p.m.
Panorama Village will honor Casper by proclaiming “Billy Casper Day” in the town, and The Village Golf Club will extend the special price of $24 for greens and cart fees and range balls that day.
Known for his mastery around the greens, Casper’s clinics start at 12:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Casper will sign autographs and meet with golfers in the clubhouse from 1:15 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“Panorama Village is thrilled to welcome Billy Casper to our wonderful golf course,” says Howard Kravetz, Mayor of Panorama Village. “Under Billy Casper Golf’s careful guidance the past four years, golfers experience greatly improved course conditions and customer service.”
“I have wonderful memories competing on the PGA TOUR in the Houston area,” says Casper, a member of both the PGA and World Golf Hall of Fame. “I look forward to visiting The Village, which Ben Hogan called one of his favorites, and meeting the golfers who regularly play there.”
The Village Golf Club holds several Houston-area awards. Three separate nine-hole courses – Winged Foot, Thunderbird and Rolling Hills – allow golfers of all skill levels to enjoy excellent golf experiences.
Winged Foot and Thunderbird feature newly renovated putting surfaces which don’t need traditional winter overseed, making for consistent and superior surfaces year-round. Rolling Hills is considered the most aesthetic nine of the group, delivering a challenging punch as the most modern layout, including a par-3 island-green.
The spacious, 13,000-square-foot clubhouse features floor-to-ceiling windows throughout with dramatic views of the No. 9 and No. 18 greens. The dramatic, cathedral-style entrance provides an excellent backdrop for dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounge. The clubhouse accommodates up to 250 guests, making it a natural destination for wedding and other social engagements.
