Hartford Yard Goats News Release
Hartford, Conn - The Hartford Yard Goats Baseball Club, the Double-A Eastern League Affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, has announced that it will host a four day golf event at Dunkin' Donuts Park, "Links At The Yard," September 27th through September 30th. Golfers of all ability levels will have the opportunity to play Par 3 target-style holes from many elevated areas of the ballpark. The Yard Goats have partnered with local golf courses Keney Park and Goodwin Park, along with retailer Callaway Golf to bring "Links at the Yard" to Hartford. Reservations are available by calling 860-246-GOAT (4628), by visiting online at www.yardgoatsbaseball.com, or in person at the Click It or Ticket Box Office at Dunkin' Donuts Park. Golfers may select a twosome or foursome and the price is $52 per golfer. A limited number of spots are available. While a selection of Callaway golf clubs will be provided at each hole, golfers are invited to bring their own.
Callaway Golf first engineered a golf event at a baseball ballpark hosting "The Links at PetCo Park" in San Diego, CA, home of the San Diego Padres. "We are excited to partner with the Yard Goats on the Links at the Yard this year," Callaway Golf Senior Marketing Manager Nathan Adelman said. "They have so much energy and passion for creating an authentic and unique golf experience in their new stadium, and Callaway is happy to be a part of that. After bringing stadium golf close to our headquarters in San Diego, we're thrilled to have stadium golf near our golf ball manufacturing plant in Chicopee, MA."
"We are excited to bring another creative and fun event to Dunkin' Donuts Park that accentuates the flexibility of this beautiful venue, and continues to deliver on the promise of the park being about more than baseball," Yard Goats President Tim Restall said. "We are also working with our friends at the Travelers Championship and the First Tee of Connecticut to enhance the golf experience."
The course layout of "Links At The Yard" was coordinated in partnership with local PGA Professional Pete Seaman and award winning golf course development firm Dusenberry Design.
The Yard Goats return home for their next homestand on Friday, August 10th and host the Bowie Baysox (Baltimore Orioles affiliate) for a three game series at Dunkin' Donuts Park. Tickets for all remaining home games are on sale by calling 860-246-GOAT (4628), by visiting online at www.yardgoatsbaseball.com, or in person at the Click It or Ticket Box Office at Dunkin' Donuts Park.
