The Golf Foundation is a charity committed to the sporting and social development of young people through golf. In an attempt to achieve enjoyment and excitement many children turn to sport and through their participation they develop a range of personal skills and qualities that will help them later in life - honesty, respect, co-operation, self motivation, concentration and perseverance.

The organisation focuses its work at the beginner level, and aims to give all young people a positive experience through the medium of golf regardless of their background or circumstances.

Through its work, the Foundation hopes that those introduced to the sport will go on to be both regular participants and responsible citizens.
