Description
Golf Program in Schools (GPS)- Our inclusive, award winning program is helping students find their right P.A.T.H. in life through golf! Golf Program in Schools is the only Inclusive, free in-school, curriculum based introductory golf program for students. GPS is renowned for empowering young people to lead socially, professionally and physically healthy lifestyles by following their P.A.T.H.
We emphasize P.A.T.H: Persistence, Achievement, Trustworthiness and Healthy lifestyle to help students find their way as they navigate through the challenges of growing up.
By being part of the school curriculum we reach every student in their PE class crossing all socio-economic limitations at no cost to the student or the school. The class includes a golf course field trip so students can experience the country club environment and practice on the green grass. Completion of the course allows students to play free golf with a paying adult until they graduate high school. An important life lesson we teach is to develop your skill level to equal your talent level and you will be a happy and productive person.
