Donate to help children learn the importance of STEM
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.
Sports are a great way to prepare for STEM fields. They can teach students how to be persistent and stay focused on a goal. Sports also teach students how to work with others, which is a skill that is important in many STEM fields.
What is Make Golf Your Thing?
In 2020, the golf industry united together to address two simultaneous opportunities: how to bring greater diversity to our sport and how to build on the momentum that golf has experienced since the pandemic began. A year later, “Make Golf Your Thing” was launched as a collaborative effort across the golf industry to ensure the future of golf is open to everyone.
This multi-faceted, multi-year campaign invites people to the sport from all backgrounds to enjoy the game of a lifetime in their own way.
Partners, Supporters, and Donations.
We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to our sponsors, supporters, and donors for their invaluable contributions that enable us to continue teaching kids the joy and benefits of golf. Your support is helping to shape the next generation of golfers and we could not do it without you.
