Golf Saskatchewan has donated $10,000 to the Youth on Course program in the prairies.
The donation coincides with the recent Youth on Course 100 Hole Hike at Silverwood Golf Course in Saskatoon. Golf Saskatchewan Executive Director Brian Lee hiked the 100 holes at the par three course on Aug. 28 and announced the donation.
“Youth on Course is a fantastic organization that allows juniors to get on the course for $5, we have three clubs signed up in Saskatchewan right now. Between promotion of the 100 Hole Hike and this donation we can get more involvement from courses in the province and the prairies,” Lee said.
Valleyview Golf Club in Delisle, Deer Valley Golf Club north of Regina and Harbor Golf and RV Park in Elbow are the three courses that offer the program.
The Prairies 100 Hole Hike has brought in over $15,000 in funding. Golf Canada’s National Manager of Youth on Course and Events, Nathalie Mihalek was thankful to the participants.
“Thanks to Silverwood Golf Course, our hikers were able to play 100 holes on foot in one day and rally their networks to raise crucial funds to make golf more affordable and accessible. These funds will give more youth the chance to experience the game we love and its life-changing opportunities.”
