TGA Foundation:

Youth on Course Initiative Succeeds in San Antonio

The Texas Golf Association Foundation launched the Youth on Course (YOC) program last January in the San Antonio area.

Despite all the challenges faced in 2020, the new YOC initiative attracted 452 members and provided over 1,500 rounds of golf. Next year, the TGA Foundation plans to expand its YOC programs to other metropolitan areas across the state.

YOC gives juniors access to play golf for $5 or less at 11 courses in the San Antonio area, as well as more courses all over the country. To learn more about the program, check out the link below.

Is your club interested in being a YOC host? Contact Kelly Kilgo or fill out the form.
