Like inspirational stories? Both Golfers and non-Golfers alike will enjoy this Golf Channel Series
The only course inside the confines of a U.S. prison captured the attention of
the Golf Channel, which on Tuesday is highlighting the Prison View Golf Course
in the "Golf in America" series set to air at 9 p.m. CDT.
The 10-episode series, which premiered earlier this month and runs through Aug. 25, chronicles more than 20 inspirational stories about golf and those who love the game. One episode follows soldiers who use golf for physical and mental therapy after returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Another is about the rebuilding of a New Orleans golf course after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
