We help young people to ‘Start and Stay’ in golf by making their introduction to the game fun, innovative, inspiring, inclusive and enriching . We take simplified versions of the game to schools and community groups, introduce children to golf clubs, teach playing and transferable life skills, and enable youngsters to keep playing and enjoying the game for years to come.

Great initiative from Molly Moore to give girls & women an insight into working in the golf industry. Looking forward to Friday’s session. Let me know if you would like details for any young women you know thinking of a career in golf…
When Nick Dougherty first came on board as President and talked about launching Unleash Your Drive, we never imagined how quickly we would be where we are now. An incredible week at the BMW PGA Championship saw: -Our first UYD winners play in the Pro-Am! -another feature on Sky Sports focusing on our work -Our President's Awards in the Wentworth clubhouse -hundreds of youngsters coming on stand and celebrating our work -our mental toughness tools up in huge letters across the Championship Village stand But the cherry on top... having seen our great work at Westminster earlier this year, BMW Group continued to explore how they could support the work we are doing. And that culminated (for now!) in the Eagles For Education initiative, where they donated £1,000 to the Golf Foundation for every eagle scored at Wentworth. And brilliantly, there were 89 by the time Billy Horschel's playoff eagle secured the win Our growth has been amazing in the past 18 months, and we aren't stopping now. We've got bigger and more exciting things coming in 2025. Can't wait to share them with you, and see you all get involved once again! #PlayInMay Thanks to everyone for their support! https://lnkd.in/eF6tFiVk
