In The News

In recent months, The Golf Passbook has been featured in a number of publications and on the Internet.

We think this is terrific. We like to be known as "The Best Golf Value Anywhere”, but we also appreciate the recognition for our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen.

New Partnership: American Lung Association & The Golf Passbook
The Golf Passbook, one of the finest golf membership programs in the Western United States and American Lung Association Affiliates in the Western United States have joined forces to create a powerful golf membership program. The objective is to raise funds, fight lung disease and promote the name and mission of the American Lung Association.

In its 12th year of publication, The Golf Passbook will take full responsibility for the American Lung Association Affiliates Golf Privilege Club in 8 states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming ) which involves coordination of golf membership programs and the management of American Lung Association Affiliates golf tournaments throughout the year. "The Golf Passbook has expanded membership services to include reduced rates for golf travel tours, stay and play programs, and professional golf tournaments," said Wayne Morrison, president of The Golf Passbook. "These additional features should really please golfers who participated in last years American Lung Association Affiliates Golf Privilege Club and may encourage more to join the program this year."

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of The Golf Passbook and funds raised at designated golf tournaments will go to support the vital programs of the American Lung Association Affiliates.

 “We are excited about the potential of this partnership," said Pat Kudell, Executive Director of the American Lung Association of the Inland Counties, California and past coordinator of the Western Partner’s of the American Lung Association Golf Privilege Club Program. "We expect the partnership to provide important benefits to golfers of all kinds and to become a significant contributor to the American Lung Association Affiliates."

The Golf Passbook offers significant savings in green fees and cart rentals at over 450 courses throughout the western United States, Hawaii and Canada, most for year round play. In addition, a Golf Passbook membership features savings at over 50 Driving Ranges, Stay and Play Packages at some of the finest resorts in the West and savings on admission to Professional Golf Tournaments. Generally, the savings received in one round of golf pays for the membership book.

New to The Golf Passbook is a section covering reduced admissions to 15 PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA Golf Tournaments, including The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and The Buick Invitational. Also new is the Golf Passbook Travel Center to help golfers plan economical vacations or cruises to the Pacific Coast, Southeast, Europe or the Caribbean.

The Golf Passbook is a membership program. The cost is $70, which includes two books. Members want two books because they generally play with a partner.

Along with the membership book, members also receive free the "Endless Summer Golf Card" featuring low summer rates and unlimited rounds in November and December at some of the finest courses in the Palm Springs area and a free newsletter containing comments and articles on upcoming events, golf tips and golf savings opportunities around the globe.
