Young People Encouraged To Hit The Links

An increasing number of children are taking up golf, with 3.7 million kids aged 6 to 17 playing on courses in 2024. This marks a nearly 50% rise from five years ago, as reported by the National Golf Foundation. Annika Sörenstam, a legendary figure in the sport, is leading a new campaign called “Golf With Us” in partnership with Bank of America. The initiative aims to make golf more accessible to young people by offering affordable membership opportunities to play on thousands of courses for five dollars or less. Sörenstam emphasizes that golf teaches valuable life skills such as patience, discipline, focus, and determination, which are essential both on and off the course.
