2018 GOLF PREVIEW WHO’S READY TO GO GOLFING? OUR WRITERS SHARE HOW TO ENJOY THE GAME AT ANY AGE, KEEP HEALTHY WHILE PLAYING IT AND WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE DISC GOLF A TRY.

In this preview, you’ll find coupons from Elk Run Golf Club (buy 1 round, get 1 free), 1820 Charlestown Pike in Jeffersonville, and Valley View ($25 for greens fees and a cart, plus new members can receive a 20 percent discount of current membership rates), 3748 Lawrence Banet Road in Floyds Knobs.
