LONGVIEW (AP) - Golfers at an East Texas driving range can take a swing at Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump before next week's election.

Alpine Target Golf Center in Longview has put large photos of the faces of Democratic and Republican presidential candidates on round hay bales as targets.

Golf center officials promote the swing-away opportunity, to hit golf balls at either candidate, as a way for people thinking about next Tuesday's election to get some relief.

Owner Mike Williams says the goal is to alleviate a little stress.

The targets have been in play since late October in Longview, about 115 miles southeast of Dallas.
