Friends of Youth Tee Off Fore Kids In 2008

With some help from the popular tee time booking engine, GolfNow.com, Cypress Golf Solutions recently donated free tee times to Friends of Youth’s 2008 Tee Off Fore Kids program. Last month, these rounds were auctioned off at the nonprofit’s annual golf tournament and dinner.

Organizations like Friends of Youth rely heavily on community support to implement vital service programs such as Tee Off Fore Kids. The nonprofit trusts that by keeping the local community strong and investing in this generation, hundreds of the youth will benefit.

Friends of Youth recently reported back that the event was a great success, raising more than $100,000 to support Tee Off Fore Kids. Cypress was proud to be involved in any way to help support the next generation of golfers.

Needless to say, nonprofits such as Friends of Youth is just one of many supporting the younger population. And recent reports show that this group of youthful golfers may be more in need of support than ever before.

According to a National Golf Foundation (NGF) study of golf participation in the United States, the number of junior golfers, counting anyone age 6 and above who played at least one round of golf during the year, is estimated to be declining at a rate of 2 percent a year.

Now may be a good time to think about ways your course could join in on the goal of helping young people overcome challenges to build strong foundations for healthy futures in the game of golf. With any help, junior golfers will become future ambassadors to the game.
