We launched Unleash Your Drive in Clubs in 2025 as a pilot initiative aimed at getting more youngsters from schools and into golf clubs.

Thanks to the support of the BGIA, we offered equipment and training to 50 projects in 2025, and after a successful year, we are growing the impact for future years.

We visited Upton St Leonards to see the programme in action…

Our first ever Unleash Your Drive Final winners played their way to the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am in 2024, and played alongside Harry Hall for a day to remember at Wentworth.

Our first Unleash Your Drive fundraising event was launched in September 2023 at Wentworth, and culminated one year later on the same course. Our winners Jamie, Josh and Jess all qualified for the Unleash Your Drive final thanks to various fundraising journeys over they year - Jess won a monthly draw, Josh qualified through our Play In May leaderboard, and Jamie won the Play In May second chance draw. The trio then came top three in our Unleash Your Drive Final at Wentworth, and won a spot in the Pro-Am.

Thanks to DP World Tour, Wentworth Club and BMW for their help around the final and the memorable event - and to HowDidIDo and Golf Holidays Direct for their backing.

Thanks also to our sponsors at GolfNow for their support in delivering golf and mental wellbeing support to schools across GB & I.

Over 300 primary school children from the North East region enjoyed a Golfway Festival at Temple Park Leisure Centre, Tyneside.

The first event of its kind in the new academic year, the inclusive golf festival saw 32 schools attend, with children of all abilities able to partake, have fun and be physically active.

The usability and safe nature of the Golfway Play equipment enabled numerous disabled young people to play golf for the first time.

Ian Harvey from the Golf Foundation said: "The Golfway Skills Festival is a fantastic opportunity to introduce children from all across Tyne and Wear to golf. Uptake from local schools has been unbelievable, we have around 300 pupils with special educational needs experiencing golf in a fun and inclusive way.”

We teamed up with Golfway to deliver a teacher training programme at Chippenham Golf Club.

This was all aimed at helping the teachers learn how to deliver our schools programme, and embed the mental toughness within the fun games.

Our training is now available online, as teachers can go through the programme themselves. Learn more in our schools section.

We partnered with Golfway and Sport Birmingham to host a Secondary Schools Golfway Festival at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. This event aimed to introduce local students to golf in a fun, accessible, and high-energy environment. The initiative is part of the School Games framework to promote youth participation.
