DRIVE Club
Driving change and access with lasting impact.
DRIVE Club
Diversity, respect, inclusion, voice, and equity.
The DRIVE Club empowers Youth on Course members to introduce their peers to golf by guiding them during their first rounds. Using a green-to-tee approach, new golfers can actually play golf from the start and enjoy all of the things avid golfers love: being outdoors, socializing, developing new skills, and building relationships.
As an extension of the DRIVE Club, Youth on Course established Community Hubs that are strategically located in major urban centers. The hubs offer DRIVE Club members a welcoming place for youth to gain access to free TaylorMade rental equipment, knowledgeable and caring mentors and peer-to-peer support.
Operation 36
Through our exciting partnership with Operation 36, DRIVE Club members have access to their innovative online training platform designed to help them introduce new golfers to the game that is fun and rewarding.
Operation 36 uses a unique approach—starting players close to the hole and helping them “level up” as they improve—allowing beginners to build confidence and develop core skills.
This cutting-edge platform has already helped over 160,000 new golfers fall in love with the game, and DRIVE Club members can enjoy the same benefits at no cost.
