The SCGA Foundation Youth On Course program is increasing the affordability and accessibility of golf for youth by establishing $1-$2 course access and $1 range balls at golf facilities’ during off-peak hours. The participants are all certified by junior golf organizations for golf rules, etiquette, and ability, but also must be part of a life skills or educational program (such as The First Tee Life Skills Curriculum). This program is expanding rapidly and look for it to be open to any youth in 2010.
Through a partnership with the NCGA Foundation, Youth On Course is a statewide initiative. Both Foundations believe that golf teaches honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship in a way that no other sport can match. With affordable and available access to golf, the game will continue to grow, but more importantly, youth will have the opportunity to experience the life skills that it teaches on a more frequent basis.
