Working with local and national golf charities, communities, sponsors and our own GOLFTEC Team of Coaches and Students, we are shooting to grow the golf community, raise more money and build more community than ever before.
GOLFTEC is proud to be supporting our military Veterans by launching our DRIVE FOR HOPE campaign. As part of this campaign, $1 for every lesson we teach during the month of November will be donated to PGA HOPE, a program that introduces golf to Veterans with disabilities. With lesson donations combined with generous public donations, we aim to raise over $100,000 for PGA HOPE!
GOLFTEC supports programs that introduce young and new players to golf, building a solid foundation for the future of the game. Through partnerships with the PGA Reach Jr. league program, The World Golf Foundation, Welcome to Golf initiative, The First Tee and more, we are making a solid impact and strengthening the greater golf community.
Through strategic partnerships & programs for those who have served, GOLFTEC has provided thousands of lessons to a wide and diverse cross-section of people who may not have otherwise tried golf. Partnered with PGA Hope (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), GOLFTEC students and employees raised over $100,000 and introduced our wounded veterans to the healing aspects of golf through the golf community.
Community happens at a local level, and with over 200 GOLFTEC locations worldwide and as one of the largest employers of PGA Professionals in the world, GOLFTEC employees drive local initiatives and engagement within their own communities across the world. Coaches give generously of their time to positively impact the game of golf by working with their PGA Sections, golf courses, high school and college golf programs, and more.
As a company founded & operated by PGA members, GOLFTEC is proud to foster the next generation of PGA Professionals by offering instruction and guidance in helping them pass their Player Ability Test. This milestone marks the beginning of their careers and puts them on the path to a lifetime of growing the game.
We are passionately committed to opening the game of golf for all those who are inspired to play. As stewards of the game, the future of our sport depends on creating a culture that demands diversity and inclusion. Through education, strategic partnerships, and programs built for those who faces challenges getting started, we're committed to eliminating barriers and to ensure that we all have the chance to enjoy the greatest game ever played.
