This bill changes the rules for using golf courses at Kentucky state parks by allowing graduates of the PGA HOPE program and one guest to play golf paying only golf cart rental fees. PGA HOPE is a program that teaches golf to veterans with disabilities, so this effectively reduces the cost of golfing at state parks for those participants. Who it may affect: veterans who have completed the PGA HOPE program and their guests.
