PROGRAM LAUNCHED TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE PARENT-CHILD GOLF EXPERIENCE

KidsPlayGolfFree.com also enables golf course operators to sell unsold tee times while building the game of golf.

EDINA, July 30, 2009 - Minnesota golf veteran RJ Smiley and new partners, John Krebill and Steve Basinski (Program Sports, Inc.) of Grand Rapids, MI, announce the launch of the completely redesigned KidsPlayGolfFree.com web site, a FREE web site directory enabling parents and children to locate golf courses that offer programs allowing kids to play golf free with a paying adult, making playing golf together much more affordable.

"I want to see parents and their children form a new connecting point through the great game of golf, just as I did with my father, and my son did with me," says Smiley. The former golf course owner adds, "I also want to grow the game of golf and see golf course owners prosper. Our game is at a critical point - too much capacity and a stagnant number of players. Just as concerning is the fact that an inadequate number of new players are being introduced to the game. Our web site addresses all of that."

Each golf course member will have its own editable web page and photo gallery on the KidsPlayGolfFree.com web site detailing their KidsPlayGolfFree program. Owners may join and add their course to the directory on line; they may delete their course from the directory or change information on the directory. Each time a golf course owner adds his course to the directory, a Free News Release will be sent to the newspapers and radio & TV stations within 60 miles, plus families registered with KidsPlayGolfFree will be notified via email announcing new course members and tee times available. This will provide parents the opportunities to enjoy affordable golf at a golf course near home and bring new golfers into the game.

"Many savvy golf course operators have already figured out that offering kids-play-free programs to sell tee times in off-peak periods has increased weekly revenue by up to $2000 a week," says Smiley. "But no one has yet found a way to create synergy by helping golf course operators build their own self-managed kids-play-free programs, and market these incredible opportunities directly to the public. That's what we do!"
