Help Teach More Than Golf – Mentor a Life

Grandfathers for Golf Needs YOU – Help Change a Child's Life

For more than 25 years, Grandfathers for Golf has been transforming lives—one child and one golf swing at a time. But right now, kids are waiting. We have more eager young learners than we have volunteers to guide them, and without your help, some of these children will miss out.

“Even if you’ve never swung a golf club, you can still change a child’s future,” says Mike Bryant, President of the organization. “What matters most is showing up for these kids.”

At no cost to families, our program provides everything a beginner golfer needs: clubs, shirt, hat—plus patient, caring instruction. Many alumni have gone on to join school golf teams, earn college scholarships, and even turn pro. But the real victory is in the confidence, discipline, and joy these kids gain.

David Jimenez, Vice President, remembers being stopped by a young man in a store:

“He told me he’d been in our program years ago and thanked me for the experience. That moment made my day—and reminded me why we do this.”

Volunteers don’t just teach golf—they mentor, inspire, and make memories that last a lifetime. And yes, they can enjoy a round at Golden Era after each session.

Act Now – Kids Are Waiting

Our winter session begins this November, and we urgently need volunteers to step up. Whether you have golf skills or simply the desire to help, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

📅 Sign up today – don’t let a child miss their chance.
