The Alabama Golf Association Partners with Youth on Course to Offer Affordable Access to Golf and Life-Changing Opportunities

HOOVER, AL (June 15, 2020)  – Youth on Course – the non-profit organization providing youth ages 6-18 access to opportunities through subsidized golf, college scholarships, paid internships and a caddie program – partners with the Alabama Golf Association to introduce rounds for $5 or less in the State of Alabama.

Youth on Course (YOC) has been recognized by The Golf Channel and Golf Digest as a valuable step toward bridging the gap between youth instruction and consistent play throughout adulthood. Alumni of YOC have moved forward as collegiate golfers and influential members in the industry altogether.

The partnership between the Alabama Golf Association and Youth on Course opens the door for more than 2,000 golfers in Alabama ages 6-18 to play rounds of golf for $5 or less at participating facilities.

Funds raised by the Alabama Golf Association and the Youth on Course Alabama Board of Directors will go toward round subsidies as facilities across the state begin to adopt the initiative. To date, Youth on Course has subsidized over 950,000 rounds of golf.

Starting with courses on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, the Alabama Golf Association will announce partner facilities as they join the effort. Golfers in Alabama can sign up for a Youth on Course membership here: www.youthoncourse.org/join.
