Happy Holidays from LPGA International! LPGA International is a great place to purchase a special Christmas gift for the golfer in your family. You can purchase advanced golf fees, clubs, balls, golf shoes, apparel, golf lessons or accessories for men, women and juniors in our award winning golf shop. If you are not sure what your golfer would like, purchase a gift card. They are redeemable for golf rounds, lessons, and merchandise too! This is a great stocking stuffer! Our December golf schedule includes maintenance for our golf course greens and tees. We will begin the overseeding process this month. Overseeding of the greens and tees gives the course that really nice dark green color throughout the winter months and gives stability to the bermuda grass. I like to use the analogy that when the weather gets colder we put a sweater on to protect our skin and keep us warm - our superintendent does the same thing when the he puts the winter grass on the greens and tees. The winter grass protects the bermuda grass, and it gives a good color and even putting surface through the cold season. We will be overseeding the Champions courses on December 9 and 10, then the Legends course will be over seeded on December 18 and 19. We appreciate your patience as we continue to strive to give you the best in golf course conditions year round. If you have questions about golf course overseeding, please email us and we’ll be more than happy to help you. Just a reminder for those of you who who are interested in our special rates and packages: LPGA International offers a wide variety of golf rates depending on the time of day and where your permanent address is located.

If you are male, play two times a week, wear a size 9 to 12 shoe and also wear roll-top socks, you are the person that we are looking for!

Even More Excuses for Why You Must Play Golf

* I had to make a sales call at the course anyway. * I hate Nascar, and that's all that's on TV. * I have a few hours to kill before the M.A.S.H reruns start. * I have a meeting at the course, so I might as well go golfing. * I have a rain check from yesterday. * I have a scramble next week. I need the practice. * I have an opportunity to play with the three best players at the club. * I have been on a plane all day; I just really need some fresh air. * I practiced putting on my carpet; now I want to see if it pays off. * I have been taking anger counseling for my golf game. * I have been taking golf vitamins to hit the ball an extra 10 yards. * I watched the golf channel for 48 hours straight. I am psyched up. * I have never birdied a #1 handicap hole. * I have never eagled a hole before and I feel lucky. * I have never played a canyon course before. * I have never played bent grass before.
