Family Golf Challenge

The Family Golf Challenge, a new golf skills competition for families, will take place at Eisenhower Park Golf Course in East Meadow August 19-20.

 The Family Golf Challenge is an amateur skills competition, featuring a putting and long-drive competition, designed to introduce more women and children to the sport of golf.  Whether you are an avid golfer or, new to the game, the program has been designed to engage two-person teams comprised of adults and kids (7-17) in a fun, rewarding and philanthropic experience.  Teams can be comprised of two family members (i.e. father/son, mother/daughter, uncle/niece, etc.)

The event not only brings the family together but also gets them involved in a charitable cause.  The First Tee of Metropolitan New York charity has been designated the Event Beneficiary.
