Learn to Golf

Learn to Golf is a junior golf program for patients ages 6 and older. It is designed to introduce the game of golf to children with physical challenges. Golf is a fun and therapeutic way for patients of all ability levels to build strength and learn a sport they can play for a lifetime.
The program has four components:

• Learn to Golf Clinics are half-day workshops that allow patients to work with professional golf instructors, volunteers and TSRHC staff to learn the basics of grip, stance and swing.
• Golf equipment and other adapted equipment is provided to help patients start playing golf.
• Scholarships are available to help patients continue to develop their skills by taking lessons from a local golf instructor and/or getting connected to their community junior golf program.
• Tee Up for Teaching Seminars help professional golf instructors and allied healthcare professionals better understand how to work with golf students who have challenging physical conditions.

The Learn to Golf program is supported through the generosity of TSRHC friends, such as the United States Golf Association, the Professional Golfers’ Association and Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation. There is no charge for patients to participate.
