ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota golfers will soon have a new way to show their passion year-round, with a special license plate on their car.
State officials have approved a design for a "Play Golf Minnesota'' tag that could be offered by August. It's the latest in a series of dozens of specialty plates that help raise money for various causes.
People who want the golf plate will be expected to donate at least $30 to a golf foundation account to promote youth involvement in the sport. That's on top of typical registration costs and a $10 specialty plate fee.
Despite its limited season, Minnesota ranks high nationally in golfers and golf courses per capita.
