About 1st Clubs for Kids Foundation
The 1st Clubs for Kids Foundation provides kids with their first, hands-on introduction to the game and assists in providing a set of clubs to those who want to pursue the sport. The foundation will also create opportunities for juniors to receive lessons and will provide resources for competitive play.
For those junior golfers who excel and have the drive to pursue collegiate and professional levels, the foundation will provide the resources needed to identify these opportunities. The foundation will have a positive impact on kids, and individuals who aspire to work in the golf industry and will impact the industry as a whole.
Since its inception, the foundation has provided access to a sport that perhaps, many never thought they would have access to. Many children have been significantly impacted positively from the foundation; particularly those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and those who have been impacted by severe grief from the loss of a family member or loved one.
