CLUBS FOR KIDS DRIVE: The mission of the 1st Clubs for Kids Foundation is to give children their first hands-on introduction to the game of golf. One of the biggest challenges for new players is acquiring the proper equipment, and the high cost can often make getting started difficult. That’s why the 1st Clubs for Kids Foundation, in partnership with the AJGA, is asking for your support in breaking down this barrier. By donating any gently used clubs or golf bags you may no longer need, you can help provide young players with the tools they need to begin their journey in the game we all love. Your generosity will make it easier for kids to take their first swing into golf and experience the lifelong benefits this sport has to offer.
PICKLE-GOLF COMPETITION: Bring your paddles and your A-game to the course following the first round. We are challenging the field to a pickleball skills competition with fun prizes available to all our winners.
