We introduce children to golf • from all backgrounds • creating golfers
We do this because golf can change lives

We help young people to ‘Start and Stay’ in golf by making their introduction to the game fun, innovative, inspiring, inclusive and enriching. We take adapted versions of the game to schools and community groups, introduce young people to golf clubs, teach playing and transferable life skills and keep young people playing in golf clubs.

One in five children and young people aged eight to 25 in England had a probable mental disorder in 2023

That is why giving young people practical tools to support their confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing matters

This ❤️ we’re celebrating our Unleash Your Drive programme which does just that

Unleash Your Drive combines golf activity with Mental Toughness Tools including emotional control, positive self-talk, focus, self-compassion and resilience

Our recent survey told us that pupils are showing

• A 54% increase in pupils’ confidence to speak up and share ideas

• A 41% increase in managing feelings and emotional responses

• A 34% increase in seeing challenges as opportunities

Physical activity can support young people’s mental health, cognitive development and overall wellbeing. Through Unleash Your Drive, golf gives us an engaging way to help children practise those skills in a safe and supportive environment

is the time to reflect on Unleash Your Drive, and the mental toughness tools we teach

We help young people in schools to improve focus, positivity, emotional control and more

Check out our manager Andy delivering our tools to one group - these tools help the young people to improve their golf, but what we are really doing is preparing them with tools to handle pressure situations in school and in life. To focus on challenges better, to block our distractions, and to be kind to themselves up against adversity

It's been three years since we launched, and Unleash Your Drive is flying with the support of so many, and with behind us

Andrew Terry and Joe Jackson grew up playing Marland golf course with their dads. In 2018, when Rochdale Council announced plans to close it, the childhood friends stepped in and saved it, and Link Golf UK was born. Seven years on, they run eight venues offering free golf, free weekly PGA-led coaching, and free equipment to under-16s, introducing more than 1,000 children a year to the game.
