Creating Lifelong Golfers

Watson Links combines golf and mentoring to help grow the next generation of golfers.

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 youth players for fun, relaxed rounds of golf to hone basic skills, introduce course etiquette and reinforce valuable life skills – all for free!

Parents / Guardians

Help your child make the transition from basic lessons to lifelong player a comfortable one with the help of friendly, experienced golf mentors. They’ll get to play on golf courses and learn important skills, all at no cost to you!

Youth Players

Have fun playing on a real golf course with a mentor to help guide you! Each session gives you the chance to hone your skills and immerse yourself in the game with friends or make new friends on the course.
