CARLSBAD GOLF CENTER REWARDS CUSTOMERS WITH FREE RANGE BUCKETS FOR CANNED FOOD DRIVE DONATIONS

CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA. November 17, 2008 –Carlsbad Golf Center is offering its customers a way to prove the notion that “Givers Gain.” Now through December 28, golfers bringing canned food donations to support the San Diego Food Bank Canned Food Drive will be rewarded with free driving range balls or discounts toward their range bucket purchase.

Each donated can is worth a $2 credit toward any size bucket purchase. So, three cans gets a free medium bucket, five cans a free large and seven cans a free jumbo. There is no limit to the number of cans a person can donate, but customers are limited to one free bucket per day and the promotion is not combinable with range membership cards.

Anyone can drop off cans for collection at the pro shop, whether or not they want the free rewards, Monday through Friday 10am to 8:30pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am to 8:30pm.

This is just one way Carlsbad Golf Center, voted a USA Best 100 Golf Shop and Top 100 Range, acts as a community partner. For more information on other charity or fundraising programs, or for more information, contact Carlsbad Golf Center pro shop at 760-720-GOLF (4653) or www.carlsbadgolfcenter.com for map and directions.
