July 30th Is Family Golf Day
Scottsdale, Ariz. – July is ‘Troon Family Golf Month’ at Troon-affiliated facilities around the world. Throughout the month, courses will amplify their family golf initiatives through family-oriented instructional programs, events and tournaments. In addition, Sunday, July 30th is ‘Family Golf Day’ providing families with an opportunity to enjoy the game of a lifetime together at Troon-affiliated courses. Troon Family Golf Month also serves as a fundraising opportunity for the First Tee and its mission to empower young people through the game of golf.
While the month of July serves as the kickoff for family golf activities, Troon Family Golf is available every day of the week, all year long, at participating Troon-managed facilities worldwide. Families can play golf together and enjoy the following:
- Juniors play golf for free after 3 p.m. when playing with a paying adult
- Juniors enjoy complimentary Callaway rental clubs all day (U.S. only)
- Juniors receive complimentary instruction when taking a lesson with a paying adult
Through the ‘Building Game Changers’ campaign, Troon and Troon-affiliated facilities will be collecting donations for First Tee and local First Tee Chapters throughout the entire month of July. Donations can be made online at https://firsttee.org/troon-benefitting-first-tee/ or via participating golf facility activation. In addition, on Sunday, July 30th courses will host a variety of Family Golf Day activities with proceeds benefitting the First Tee Building Game Changers campaign. Donations are optional for Family Golf Day participants.
As part of the First Tee’s Building Game Changers campaign golfers around the world can bid on marquee golf packages at Troon-affiliated facilities through the online auction platform ‘Charitybuzz.’ As of July 1st at https://www.charitybuzz.com/support/BuildingGameChangers, bids are being accepted on golf and golf vacations packages at numerous Troon-affiliated facilities, including Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, Calif.; Kaanapali Golf Courses in Maui, Hawaii; Victoria Golf Resort in Sri Lanka; and Indian Wells Golf Resort in Indian Wells, Calif.

“Troon-affiliated facilities around the world are committed to growing the game through junior golf every day of the year,” said Troon Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing Kris Strauss. “During Troon Family Golf Month our facilities, PGA/LPGA instructors and associates come together to amplify these efforts and share the many great virtues playing golf together as a family can provide.”
