ABOUT KIDSWING:   This will be the second KidSwing-McKinney golf tournament, an all-kids golf tournament benefiting TSRHC, to be held Monday, July 13 at Stonebridge Ranch Country Club in McKinney, Texas. It is a 9-hole, best-ball scramble for players ages 7 to 18, and every child who enters is encouraged to raise $100 for TSRHC by asking their friends and family to sponsor them.
