Today marked the beginning of something special.

The Indian River Golf Foundation is proud to partner with Helping Hands Program of South County launch the first of what we hope will be many youth golf instructional programs together.

Over the next four weeks, these young participants will be introduced to the game of golf in a fun, supportive environment while learning skills that extend far beyond the golf course. Through golf, we teach confidence, respect, perseverance, sportsmanship, and life lessons that can last a lifetime.

This program is made possible through the collaboration and support of Helping Hands Program of South County, Mangrove Sands Golf Club, the Indian River Golf Foundation, and those throughout our community who believe every child deserves access to the opportunities, mentorship, and life lessons that golf can provide. Continued community support helps make programs like this possible and allows us to expand our reach to even more young people throughout the region.

We are excited to welcome these students to the game and look forward to helping them continue their golf journey long after this initial program concludes.

Golf Today. Golf For Life.

Thank you to everyone helping make these opportunities possible. The future is bright, and we're just getting started. A special thank you to Zac Courtenay, PGA, for helping establish this partnership with Helping Hands and for his commitment to creating new opportunities for local youth through the game of golf. His leadership and dedication continue to expand the reach and impact of IRGF programs, introducing more young people to a game that teaches valuable life skills and can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
