Eight-time Major Champion Tom Watson’s initiative provides a bridge from golf lessons on the driving range to playing on a real golf course for aspiring players ages 10 to 18. The model is simple: pair adult golf mentors with junior golfers for fun, relaxed rounds of golf to hone basic skills, introduce course etiquette and reinforce valuable life skills – all for free!

Testimonials

At Watson Links, golf is more than just a sport – it’s a lifelong journey filled with fun, learning, opportunity, and unforgettable moments. Hear what the Watson Links experience means to the people who tee it up together.

Through the Watson Links Program, our kids had an opportunity to push through challenges, understand the importance of resilience, display confidence in new situations, and connect with friends. We are so appreciative of this initiative and what it provides for our children and family.

A. Montalvo

PARENT of JUNIOR GOLFER

I enjoyed the chance to play with the young ladies and remind them that golf can be played for many years. It builds confidence, creates connections, and keeps the mind and body sharp. Most importantly, not every shot or round has to be perfect. Golf should be fun!

Christine Ricketts

GOLF MENTOR

One moment that stood out was seeing three sisters who participated as mentees in the Watson Links program gain the confidence to sign up for our beginner tournaments. Since then, all three sisters have continued playing consistently. Their participation has also helped us increase our impact and participation numbers among girls. It was great to see how Watson Links encouraged them to take the next step, build their confidence, and stay involved in golf.
