Definition of an External Service Provider
An External Services Provider refers to any individual not directly employed by the registered school, community group, or golf facility, yet is engaged in delivering Golf Foundation programmes on their behalf. The registered school, community group, or golf facility retains the rights to the programme. To maintain programme consistency, all external service providers are required to register with the Golf Foundation and undergo relevant online training. This training ensures understanding of core the outcomes and supports the effective delivery.
The Unleash Your Drive programme aims to equip all participating children with consistent core golf skills and mental toughness tools.
This may include:
We believe that collaboration between Unleash Your Drive projects and external service providers is crucial for introducing more children to golf, regardless of their background, and creating future golfers.

About the Unleash Your Drive programme
The Unleash Your Drive Programme is unique in that it empowers schools, community groups and golf facilities to take ownership of the golf programme. The project and the employed staff are at the core of delivering this initiative. This approach encourages longevity and the establishment of golf as a standard sport within the school and community setting.
However, the Golf Foundation recognises the value that external service providers can bring to complement this effort. We understand that external providers can offer specialised expertise and links to the local golf facility. These are added extras that will enhance the Unleash Your Drive programme and overall experience to the children and young people. We also recognise that in some geographic areas, linking with external providers can be a challenge hence why supporting the employed staff is the priority in our approach.
