Expand Your Horizons With Golf
by: Crystal Brookover

he exact origin of the game of golf is a mystery.  The Romans, Dutch and French all have recorded history of similar games being played for centuries.  As golf developed in the 18th and 19th centuries in Scotland and Great Britain it became known as an elite game for gentlemen's clubs and royalty.  Today the physical mastery, cognitive challenges, and recreational potential of golf have opened the sport to men, women and children from all corners of the world.
     If you have never experienced golf as a leisure activity or sport now is your chance!  This summer the staff at Tama Hills Golf Course challenges you to experience the timeless game of kings and queens for yourself.  It's easy!  Come to Tama Hills with friends, family, or colleagues, take in the beautiful scenery, get some exercise, and meet new people from around the world.  If you have never played you can take a lesson with a PGA certified professional instructor.  Shop for clothes, clubs, and golf accessories in our state of the art Pro Shop.  See the Pros at work during our second annual Pro/Am Golf Tournament.  Come down, look around, eat a delicious lunch on the terrace of our Tee House Restaurant, and see for yourself why thousands of people in the Kanto Plain love golf at Tama Hills.
