GOLF+ Partners with Youth on Course for Virtual 100 Hole Hike

An exciting announcement from Golf+! 

At GOLF+, we believe in more than just making great golf experiences—we believe in growing the game of golf itself. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our exciting new partnership with Youth on Course, an organization dedicated to making golf affordable and accessible to young people everywhere. As part of Youth on Course’s annual 100 Hole Hike, together, we aim to drive change and create opportunities for the next generation of golfers.

The 100 Hole Hike: A Challenge for a Cause

One of Youth on Course’s signature fundraising initiatives is the 100 Hole Hike. Every year, golfers commit to playing 100 holes in a single day—either solo or as a team– to raise both funds and awareness for the cause. Participants gather pledges and donations from friends, family, and the community, all to support Youth on Course’s mission.

This year, GOLF+ is getting involved in a big way. Three of our team members will be participating in the Youth on Course 100 Hole Hike at Butler Pitch and Putt on November 7, 2024, and we are calling upon our community to help with this great cause.

How to Get Involved for a Chance to Win a Round of Golf at Pebble Beach

As an added bonus for golfers participating in the 100 Hole Hike, Youth on Course incentivizes hikers by offering a round of golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links and a night's stay at The Inn at Spanish Bay for those that reach a certain donation threshold.

Through this partnership, GOLF+ will fundraise as a community with a commitment to raising at least $20,000 for the Youth on Course mission. In return, one GOLF+ player will receive a round of golf at Pebble Beach and a night's stay at The Inn at Spanish Bay for them and a guest.

Here's how it works:

  • Any verified GOLF+ player who donates at least $10 to the GOLF+ Youth on Course fund between now and December 1 will receive an entry into the Grand Prize drawing.
  • For every $10 donated, the player will receive (1) one entry into the drawing.
    • Player A donates $50 to the GOLF+ fund. Player A receives (5) five entries.
    • Player B donates $30 to the GOLF+ fund. Player B receives (3) three entries.
  • All GOLF+ players are also encouraged to hike along virtually with the GOLF+ team by playing 100 holes in-game during the week of November 3-9 and share their journey on social media.

The Impact of Your Support

Every donation made will help Youth on Course continue to make golf accessible to young people. With the funds raised through the 100 Hole Hike and partnerships like this one, Youth on Course can subsidize rounds of golf for kids, provide educational and career opportunities, and ultimately, grow the game by giving young people a fair shot at learning it.

By teaming up with Youth on Course, GOLF+ is proud to be part of a movement that’s making real change in the world of golf. Together, we can ensure that the next generation has the opportunity to experience the joys, challenges, and rewards of this great game—regardless of their financial background.
