Gallery: Brad Faxon Day At Button Hole

Professional golfer Brad Faxon hosted a day of golf instruction at Button Hole Golf Course, situated on the Johnston/Providence town line, on July 15.

About 90 children from around New England attended Brad Faxon Day at the golf center, taking part in one-on-one lessons from golf professionals including Faxon; fitness and exercise programs; and health-related instruction.

Faxon, who serves as an Honorary Co-Chair of Button Hole along with fellow Rhode Island pro golfer Billy Andrade, said about 85 percent of the kids are from urban and inner city areas.

"They're outside in the fresh air, and when you're from the city, it's a pretty nice place to come," Faxon explained.

Faxon also said the purpose of the day is to teach kids lessons that transcend the golf course.

"Kids come out here to play golf, but they also learn a lot of stuff," he explained. "They learn about the rules of golf and they also learn a lot about etiquette, which is about trating people nicely."
