The four fairways

The four fairways

1. I

   Find

   Talent identification

   We hold open clinics and scouting days in townships and rural communities. Teachers and local coaches help us identify kids who show ability and want to play, and we invite them into the programme.

2. II

   Play

   Tournament opportunities

   Competition is where young players improve fastest. We pay for tournament entries, transport and accommodation so our players can compete in junior events around the country and start building a ranking.

3. III

   Equip

   Equipment support

   Many of our players can’t afford their own clubs. We supply full sets, shoes, balls and clothing through donations, refurbished equipment and sponsor-funded grants, so nobody has to practise with borrowed kit.

4. IV

   Learn

   Schools programme

   Our coaches run introduction-to-golf classes at partner schools, using modified equipment and drills that work on any playground. For most of the kids it’s the first time they’ve played the game.
