INSIDE AMERICAN GOLF
BEST FOOT FORWARD
Doing our part to help grow the game of golf
W
hen we first brought the sport of FootGolf to our
fairways in the not-too-distant past, we simply
thought it would be a great way to introduce a
new legion of golfers to our properties. The response so far
has been tremendous and several of our Southern California
courses have opened their tee sheets to FootGolfers, who
now can share their passion for the sport alongside those
who enjoy the more traditional way of playing the game.
Nowhere is this more prevalent than Arcadia Par 3 Golf
Course, where the sport's recently crowned national
champion works as a starter and unofficial FootGolf
promoter and event planner. We'd like to extend a hearty
congratulations to Jordan Godfrey on his achievement in
this inaugural event, which you can read all about in the
digital pages that follow. When it comes to growing the
game, this is certainly a big step in the right direction.
And speaking of growing the game, it was a pleasure to
welcome dozens of golfers out to Whittier Narrows at the
end of October to participate in a special two-day event
highlighted by clinics from former USC All-American and
LPGA professional Irene Cho Coe. You'll also find more
about that – as well as a few tips for beginning golfers, a
calendar of upcoming events, and much more – in this issue
of the American Golf Insider.
