The Golfers' Zoo

Sometimes Mom and Dad need to get away.  The Golfer’ s Zoo  answers the age-old kid’ s question; where the heck are Mom and Dad going when they take that big bag of sticks out and leave us for a few hours? 

Sure, the golf course can be an adventure for parents, but it’ s also a magical haven for animals to enjoy the sprawling fairways and relaxed watering holes that dot every golf property. From foxes to deer, turtles to sleepy owls, the golf course never disappoints and never bores us.  The Golfer’ s Zoo  helps to show how much fun, nature, and animals are on a golf course, to ignite their imaginations and fuel a burgeoning interest in golf.

So help your kids understand the joys of golf, as they take a trip around 18 holes with Mom and Dad and say hello to all the animals that live on the course. They’ ll never know what they'll see next!
