Giving children and teens the opportunity to discover their passion for golf while teaching healthy eating habits and supporting our veterans and troops is a hole-in-one for me,\u201d said PGA Golf Professional and Journey Instructor Randy Chang. \u201cBeing able to apply my passion for the sport of golf while simultaneously supporting our U.S. troops and veterans is an incredible gift and one that continues to grow each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/golf-clinic-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3298 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/golf-clinic-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/golf-clinic-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/golf-clinic-2.jpg 702w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Candy donors ages three through 18 years old may sign up to participate in one free lesson on Sunday, November 3, 10 or 17.
