Creating Lifelong Golfers

Watson Links provides opportunities for kids to learn and love golf, inspiring lifelong players who benefit from the positive life skills that come from playing the game.

I had a great time playing with my mentor Mike and really enjoyed getting the opportunity to meet Tom Watson.

JUNIOR GOLFER

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.

PLAYING PARTNER

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

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.

You’ll notice there’s nothing about improving a player’s grip, stance, or swing because you’re not a golf instructor! You’re a role model that sets standards for discipline, sportsmanship, integrity, and respect. Just help them navigate the course, understand golf etiquette, and maintain a reasonable pace of play – in other words, help them have fun!

You can even invite your golfing buddies to join you! Learn more about how it works and explore some of our most frequently asked questions.
