About The Lung Golf Card
The "Lung Golf Card" was a golf discount card whose official name was Golf Privilege Card and benefited the American Lung Association. Based on our research, the Golf Privilege Card has stopped operations and is no longer available in the US.
It offered discounted rounds at golf courses in a booklet that cost roughly $70 with 78% of the proceeds going to programs and services, research, advocacy, and public health education related to lung cancer, lung disease, and lung cancer research. 22% went back into building operational capacity.
History of the Lung Golf Card
What we do know is that under previous ownership of Golfer Collective, the organization was a partner that helped sell and distribute their booklet sometime between 2010-2019, but current ownership lacks knowledge of the detailed history or relationship between the two.
The American Lung Association appears to have ceased Golf Lung Card operations. Multiple outreach attempts to different branches in 2021 yielded no results, with many online resources now defunct. Most available articles date from 2008-2015.
However, Canada's Nova Scotia region does appear to maintain an operational program.
Lung Golf Card States Affected by Closure
The apparent shutdown impacted every US state where golf courses participated. States including Vermont, Florida, Indiana, Georgia, Maine, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia no longer have operational Golf Privilege Cards.
