Father’s Day

Since Father’s Day is approaching, we thought we would bring you some
information on discounts available on those things dad likes to do.

In a past article we discussed those senior discounts available at Golf
Courses. Here is a quick review of the age requirements and discounts you can expect to find.
Age requirements at golf courses will vary from facility to facility and while there are
discounts available for dads that are 50 or 55 years of age, many discounts may not begin
until 60 or 62. Like the age requirements, the amount of the discount can be different at
every course. Discounts can range anywhere from 10% or a couple of dollars from the green
fees to more than 50% or more than $50 dollars. Don’t forget senior discounts can also be
found on golf cart rentals and at driving ranges. Some facilities will offer discounts on
lessons or golf camps and pro shops may extend the course senior discount to the cloths and
equipment in the shop. To read the full article in the previous newsletter,

In April, we also touched on sporting events’ senior discounts. While
the major US sports; baseball, basketball, football, golf and hockey, do have some senior
discounts, dad will most likely find discounts at other events, like soccer, tennis, rodeo
or track among others. Minor league and city teams and college and high school sports are
one of the best places to locate senior discounts. These events may provide discounts for
every game or for a particular event. Expect to save anywhere from 10% to 20% on the price
of admission, but for those events that have a senior day the savings can be substantially
more, sometimes 50% to 75%. To read the full article in the previous newsletter,

There are many other recreational sporting activities that will offer
a senior discount. Local bowling alleys may give 10% off or more on the lane fees for
seniors 50 and older. Batting cages and driving ranges may also offer some form of senior
discount. There are also senior discounts at local roller skating and ice skating rinks. So
have a great Father’s Day and enjoy those discounts.
