As part of the initiative, kids and teens can get a free golf lesson from pro athletes and celebrities. Kids can enroll in a free one-year membership to Youth on Course through May 24. Zoom in: Golf with Us includes access to Hancock, Lions, Morris Williams, Harvey Penick, Jimmy Clay, Roy Kizer, Point Venture and Lago Vista golf courses for $5 or less per round. 18-hole rounds for teenagers normally start at $14 on Austin courses. Meanwhile, another program trying to get kids on Austin courses is First Tee, a nonprofit that aims to help kids build confidence and manage their emotions through golf. What they're saying:"At Bank of America, we believe in building stronger communities from the ground up, starting with our youth," said David Bader, Bank of America Austin president.
