The TOT program will provide through donations:
- Weekly PGA instructional 8-level program that includes STEM and life skills
- Yearly clinics to introduce the game of golf
- Private and group instruction for the high school golf team
- Golf clubs and equipment, golf balls, gloves, shirts, and hats for each member of the TOT program
- Transportation provided for golf tournaments home and away
- Tournament expenses, entry fees, memberships, food, and clothing
We host golf clinics, introducing the game of golf to 6th-8th graders through the Long Beach Boys’ and Girls’ Club and the middle schools. These boys and girls will enter into the TOT weekly golf program and begin their journey to becoming a competitive junior golfer. Our 8-level program takes six months to complete. We build teams of 12 kids, ages 13 and under to compete in the nationwide PGA junior summer league. A select few will join and compete in the LA County Junior Golf tournament program and the Southern California PGA Junior Golf tournament schedule. The TOT program will continue to work hard through the summer grooming these kids for success as they transition into high school golf. PGA and non-PGA professionals will continue to mentor and coach these kids while competing on their high school golf teams. Our long range goal is to see these boys and girls continue on to play NCAA college golf.
Our program also includes foster children and children with special needs. We are an inclusive golf and STEM program, able to accommodate any and all neeeds. If a child can hold a golf club, we can teach him/her this great game of golf.
