In a time when kids are spending more of their day on screens, getting less physical activity, and facing growing isolation, golf mentoring offers something powerful: intergenerational connection, healthy activity, and a lifelong love of the game.

Our founder, 8-time major champion Tom Watson, credits his golf mentors for his success on and off the course. He established Watson Links to remove barriers like course access and guidance, and to provide more golf mentoring opportunities – benefiting young people and communities alike.
