"The Parks" Golf Course Facilities at Churchville, Durand Eastman and Genesee Valley have opened for the 2003 golf season. Despite record snowfalls, the courses are ready for play.

"This year we will focus on improving playing conditions, speeding up play, creating a unique junior golf program, and increasing the quality of service Monroe County golfers receive," said Tindale. "We are looking forward to hosting the 6th Annual Monroe County Golf Championship to benefit The Parks Junior Golf Foundation and welcome all Monroe County residents to visit our courses to compete for country champion," said Jack Tindale, P.G.A. master professional.

The Parks handles the management and operation of Monroe County's three public golf courses (Durand Eastman, Genesee Valley and Churchville). This public-private partnership has been highly successful in improving the level and volume of play at each golf course.

The 6th Annual Monroe County Golf Championship will be held on July 19-20.
