When most places&nbsp;have a&nbsp;&#8220;kids free&#8221; thing going on, it&#8217;s 12 and under.&nbsp; So they&#8217;re extending this by three years.&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Allowing kids in for free is more motivation to&nbsp;bring your kids along and expose them&nbsp;further to the game.&nbsp; In order to keep this great game alive well into the future, we need to&nbsp;keep the kids interested.&nbsp; And if you can do it for free, then you have no excuse not too.<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I attended the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands for probably the fourth or fifth time.&nbsp; And for the fourth or fifth time, I attended without forking over any money.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, so did a few other co-workers as well as some of my company&#8217;s clients.&nbsp; So&nbsp;that got me to [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8621,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1975],"tags":[38,678,1109,539],"class_list":{"0":"post-2445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-pro-tours","8":"tag-golf-tournament","9":"tag-the-masters","10":"tag-tpc-river-highlands","11":"tag-travelers-championship","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do You Pay To Attend A Golf Tournament?
