History of the Lung Golf Card
We’ve scoured the internet to find information on the Lung Golf Card but are coming up short.
What we do know is that under previous ownership of The Links Card, we were a partner that helped sell and distribute their booklet sometime between 2010-2019, but current ownership doesn’t know the history nor the relationship between the two.
However, the American Lung Association seems to have shut down operations of the Golf Lung Card.
We reached out many different branches of the American Lung Assocation in 2021 and can’t seem to find anyone that has knowledge of the card and many of the links found online are now dead websites.
Most of the articles we find are from 2008-2015.
However, Canada’s Nova Scotia region does seem to be operational still.
