The programme combines the fundamentals of golf with a powerful framework of mental toughness tools which develops resilience, emotional control, confidence, and positive self-talk.
For pupils facing complex social, emotional, and mental health challenges, traditional approaches often fall short. That’s where Unleash Your Drive stands out. While it might start with a putter and a few coloured cones, this programme is much more than a golf lesson.
“Unleash Your Drive is about helping young people grow life skills through sport in a way that’s accessible, engaging, and relevant. We see it as far more than just golf – it’s a tool for building resilience, confidence and a sense of self in settings where that matters most.” Brendon Pyle, CEO, Golf Foundation
SPOTLIGHT ON THE BEACON PRU
At The Beacon PRU, Unleash Your Drive has been a game-changer. All staff received accessible, on-demand training, ensuring a consistent, confident delivery across the setting. The video-led lessons provided a fresh, engaging format that captivated students -especially those who are often hardest to reach.
“This was a fun, engaging programme that enabled pupils to develop key golf skills alongside important personal development of life skills. The videos and resources helped make the pupils feel super professional!” – Beacon PRU staff
Even in small spaces, the programme thrived thanks to thoughtful, adaptable resources. One pupil, often disengaged in other learning environments, came alive through the sessions – participating enthusiastically and taking pride in the challenges.
“Unleash Your Drive was a perfect fit. It provided high-quality physical development whilst simultaneously developing wellbeing and resilience.” – Beacon PRU leadership
