Do you have a group of 10 or more friends that play golf together but are either members of other clubs or no club at all? Why not form a Golf Society and join the the oldest regional or state Golf Association in the country? It's easy and can be done within moments through the Golf Association of Philadelphia.
Golf Societies are ideal for businesses small and large to promote healthy activity to their employees. Studies show that golfers exceed 10,000 steps and burn nearly 2,000 calories during a typical round, which meets the guideline for exercise recommended by most physicians.
A Golf Society, or Club without Real Estate, can be done in three simple steps:
How do I form a Golf Society?
