Milton resident aims to bring golf back to locals

You do not have to go to Scotland to experience the fabled greens of St. Andrew’s. Milton resident Chris Johnson and his business partner Bob Gelinas have brought 26 of the world’s most famous golf courses to the area – and they will teach you how to play them.
Johnson and Gelinas, both Professional Golfers’ Associa-tion (PGA) professionals for about a dozen years, opened their Concept Golf Studio late last month in South Hill as a way to bring golf instruction and activity to area residents.
Columbia Junior High Performing Arts Center May 9, 10, 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. with two Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., May 11 and 18. Tickets $5 at the door.
