Nutley, New Jersey – almostGOLF, the leader in the practice golf ball category since 2005, is proud to be part of grow the game initiatives across the country including a new Wee Links golf course that opened May 6th n Heritage Park GC in Kansas City, KS. The course will feature almostGolf balls.
Wee Links courses, using only 1-1.5 acres, provide the fun and strategy of a round of golf condensed into 20 minutes in a highly interactive, intimate setting. The course contains six-holes; the longest hole is 30 yards and the entire course is less than 160 yards. Greens are 15-20 feet in diameter. The cups are two inches larger than regulation and the flagsticks are five feet tall making them easy for young golfers to handle.
almostGOLF is a restricted flight golf ball. The company’s patented CO2 technology creates internal pressure inside the ball, creating the bounce, spin, and true flight of a regulation golf ball.
Jeff Burey, a Lifetime Member of the PGA and member of the Kansas Golf Hall of Fame, developed Wee Links with PGA Tour Hall of Famer and Kansas City hometown resident, Tom Watson. Watson, 73, is one of golf’s iconic players winning eight major championships and 52 victories combined, on the PGA and Champions Tours. An avid supporter of junior golf programs, Watson introduced “Watson Links” in April, a golf mentoring program, that gives junior golfers ages 10 to 18 free access to select courses in the Kansas City area.
“We are honored to be part of the Wee Links program and strive to grow the game,” said Teddy Durkin, President of almostGolf. “Our mission at almostGOLF since its inception has been to create a non-threatening, safe, and inviting opportunity for anyone to learn and practice the game of golf.”
With summer golf camps and golf schools kicking into high gear, almostGolf offers a variety of products to practice, play and have fun. The Ultimate Practice Pack includes an inflatable green, flagstick, 24 balls and a premium hitting mat. almostGolf is perfect for a summer BBQ and golf in the backyard, beach or anywhere.
