Shaping young lives through golf
2025 was a year of growth, innovation and renewed purpose, told here in the numbers, stories and moments that made it happen.
What we achieved in 2025/26
Building mental toughness, one lesson at a time
Our golf and mental wellbeing programme reached primary, secondary and SEND schools across Great Britain and Ireland this year, helping pupils build confidence and resilience on and off the course. 2,322 schools have registered interest, 8% of schools across GB and Ireland now deliver it, and 40% are in some of the most disadvantaged communities in the country.
“I know how to stay calm and in control, even when things get frustrating.

From the school gate to the golf club
Launched in 2025 with the British Golf Industry Association, this pilot brought schools, golf clubs and PGA coaches together to help young people continue their journey into club golf. 434 young people engaged across 47 projects at 42 golf clubs, and 26% of participants were girls.
“There have been plenty of attempts to bridge the school to course gap, but this one is going to do it well.

Fast, fun, team golf, nine years and counting
We started GolfSixes League with 246 players in 2017. This year we welcomed Charley Hull as our newest Ambassador, helping inspire even more children and families to get involved.
“I have enjoyed being part of the team and it's built my confidence.

Building pathways with England Golf
Launched in partnership with England Golf in July 2025, the Junior Hub award identifies and supports clubs that are the right place for juniors to try, learn and love golf. 278 clubs have applied to become Junior Hubs, helping introduce 8,656 new juniors to golf clubs.
Golf can change lives far beyond the fairway
Three stories from the ground
Through partnerships across the country, we're bringing golf to people who might never otherwise get the chance to try it.
