Watson Links’ on-course play opportunities encourage healthy exercise and provide a screen-free, outdoor experience, addressing physical and mental health issues for youth and mentors alike. We work with the golf community and corporate partners to recruit Golf Mentors and provide them with meaningful volunteer opportunities that:
Pass on your love for golf and encourage others to join the fun!
Help Junior Golfers reach their full potential in golf and life.
Create a sense of community and connect the generations on the golf course
Provide juniors with a positive role model that set standards for respect, resilience, focus and social skills.
There’s something special that happens when golf meets mentoring. It’s more than just a game; it becomes a powerful tool for connection, confidence, and growth. There are countless benefits to golf mentoring experiences.
Our why is simple: tee up young people for confidence and fun alongside vetted adult players, growth happens and communities benefit. At Watson Links, we see it every day. A young person takes a shot, looks up at a golf mentor for guidance, and suddenly a simple round of golf turns into something so much more. These rounds empower the mentors as much as the kids. Mentors are not golf pros – they are just a little further along in their golf journey. Their presence, willingness to model confidence and positivity paves the way for a passion for play. When golf meets mentoring, magic happens. Watson Links is there to tee up these opportunities and help all feel prepared.
Typically two mentors tee it up alongside two junior players (of all skill levels). Through the Watson Links web app, mentors and parents can register to participate and sign up for local opportunities. A local program manager is there to help and coordinate activities in that market. You can sign up whether or not there is currently a program in your area! Users can see what’s going on across our growing network.
Many mentors invite their golfing friends to play together! All golf mentors undergo a background check to participate. Learn where to find our programs and explore some of our most frequently asked questions.
