News from Around the Miami Valley
February 10, 2018 Edition 
Spring BB Presented by Midwest Security Services
The 2018 Golf Season Kicks off with the Annual Spring Better Ball this year held on Monday, April 30th at Wildwood Golf Club in Middletown, OH.  The event will include a lunch prior to the 1pm shotgun and will have four divisions of play.  Open (Scratch), Handicap, Senior Open, and Senior Handicap.  

Registration is scheduled to open by March 15th and thanks again to Terry Rogers and Midwest Security Services for being our title sponsor for the event.
Youth on Course
Youth on Course is a program that supplements rounds of golf for area youths (Up to 18) so that they pay a maximum of $5 per round when they visit a participating facility, during times the facilities determine.  This national initiative out of Northern California has grown to include a big part of the United States and juniors who join have access anywhere the program exist.

The national Youth on Course program will fund our area in 2018, but come 2019, Miami Valley Golf has pledged to support the expense of the program ourselves.  

This is where our business, philanthropic and golf community as a whole comes in.  Over the coming months we will be adding more facilities, enrolling more juniors and starting a campaign to develop funding that will be used to match the liability associated with this program.

Your Miami Valley Golf believes in the societal value our great sport brings to current and future generations and are strongly committed to ensuring our youth spend time outdoors with their families, and what a better way than on a golf course.
