ABOUT US

We believe that the sport of golf has certain inherent core values, and we also teach and measure key mental toughness tools as part of all our programmes.

A core ambition is to help open up the sport to a wide range of underserved communities, encouraging a diverse range of young people to experience and take up the sport, building their skills and resilience in the process.

We deliver adapted programmes in schools, community groups and golf clubs, introducing young people to golf in their own environment and helping clubs to welcome them into a sport for life. Our headline initiative in schools, Unleash Your Drive, which teaches mental toughness skills through golf is driven by our inspirational President, Nick Dougherty, and our popular club beginners competition, GolfSixes League is now played in over 600 golf clubs across GB&I. LET and Solheim Cup player, Charlie Hull is our GolfSixes League Ambassador.

We are a small and friendly organisation driven by our belief in making the introduction of golf to young people FUN, inclusive, inspiring, innovative and enriching. We welcome diversity of thought and background to help us achieve our objectives. We are looking for someone who believes in the power of sport and physical activity to help make a difference to young people’s lives, and can help bring our values alive and inspire the next generation to enjoy the many benefits of golf to society.
