PGA Free Lesson Month is back but with a new twist: Free Family Golf Clinics.

In addition to individual free 10-minute golf lessons given by PGA and LPGA Professionals, several facilities will host free family golf clinics, giving families the opportunity to learn and participate together.

To find a local course, go to www.PlayGolfAmerica.com, click on PGA Free Lesson Month and insert your ZIP code. A list of participating PGA/LPGA professionals, along with Family Golf Clinics, will be listed.

Anyone who takes a free lesson and registers at www.PlayGolfAmerica.com/FLM could win a two-day/two-night golf getaway to The PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance in Port St. Lucie, Fla., including hotel accommodations, round-trip, economy airfare, and a custom-fit set of golf clubs.
