Y
outh on Course, a junior golf program launched
in Northern California some dozen years ago, is
generating buzz among state and regional golf
administrators, says Joel Comstock, longtime MGA staff
member and local YoC representative in Minnesota.
For $15, any youth golfer age six to 18 years can join
the program at youthoncourse.org and play golf for $5 or
less. In Minnesota, YoC golfers have access to a growing
list of nearly 25 local public golf courses offering green
fees for $5 or less.
Minnesota, along with Wisconsin and Iowa, is among
nearly two dozen states that collectively account for more
than 600 participating courses nationwide, where YoC
members can play for $5 or less. One of the more prominent
YoC facilities is Chambers Bay, located near Tacoma,
Wa., which played host to the 2016 U.S. Open.
" Our goal is to create a Youth on Course community
among junior golfers and to provide access to the game
by eliminating the expense barrier to participation, "
Comstock says.
By year's end, he expects to see 800 new YoC members
and 30 participating golf courses in Minnesota.
In its fi rst year, the program's expenses are subsidized
by the National Youth on Course offi ce, but future fundraising
efforts will be aimed at creating a sustainable
model in Minnesota, Comstock says.
Look for the YoC logo at your local participating golf
course or visit mngolf.org/youthoncourse.
