Donate Your Used Golf Books to the RDGA Golf Library – and Find a Book to Read!

The RDGA Golf Library at the Rochester District Golf Association.
 
It won’t be long before snow – rather than golf balls – will be the only thing flying through the air at local golf courses, and your golf clubs will be packed away for the winter. So what is there for golfers to do until springtime?
 
Here’s one suggestion: find a warm, comfortable chair and read a golf book! Golf is one subject that has spawned thousands of book titles – including everything from instructional how-to volumes such as Jack Nicklaus’ “Golf My Way,” to memorable accounts from the long history of the game, such as Mark Frost’s “The Greatest Game Ever Played” – and many, many things in between. Among those many titles, most golfers have their own, personal favorites – and this is the time of year to catch up on your golf reading list!
 
Throughout the off-season here at the Rochester District Golf Association offices, we will be expanding our RDGA Golf Library, with the intention of creating a new lending library for RDGA members. We already have a wide variety of golf books in our offices, seen in the above photo, but you can help us build our library into a go-to resource of golf information in the Rochester area by donating any golf-related books – from coffee table picture books, to instructional manuals, to biographies and historical books.
 
We are currently in the process of completing our catalog of books – which we will then post here on our website – giving you, our members, the opportunity to find that favorite title you’ve been meaning to read.
 
Until then, if you have any golf books that you would like to donate to the RDGA, feel free to drop them off at our offices, located in the Brighton Campus Park at 2024 West Henrietta Road, Suite 5H, Rochester, NY, during regular business hours from 9 a.m to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday – and we will be happy to provide a printed reciept of your donation for tax purposes. And, while you’re here, take a look at our library collection!
 
For more information about the new RDGA Golf Library – or to set up a time to drop off your donations – please call us at 585-292-5950, or email RDGA Communications Director Dave Eaton at: daveeaton@RDGA.org.
