A dozen young people played their first round of golf ever on Saturday thanks for the guidance of YOC x TaylorMade DRIVE Club members! Each DRIVE Club member was paired with a new golfer, between 8 to 12 years old, and guided them through a 9-hole round on the Mif-Albright Par-3 course at Corica Park. The guides showed them everything from checking in for a tee time, how to carry a golf bag, how to tee up a golf ball, and navigate a golf course…but the coolest part was Youth on Course members introducing their peers to a game they love and witnessing new friendships made - it was a display of everything that golf should be and more!
Golf can be an intimidating sport, but learning from a peer helps new players feel more comfortable on the course. YOC guides helped share the basics, like how to swig a club, during the clinic.
Huge thank you to @coricapark for hosting such an awesome event. Shoutout to @yoots_org for providing transportation and @semifreddis and @noodle.belly for providing delicious food for this group of energetic and hungry young people.
