Introductory Golf & Life Skills for Young Kids

Games-Based Recreational Golf Played On Local Fields And Gymnasiums

Tradition is a term often associated with golf. Unfortunately, it’s not helpful when introducing kids to golf because of cost, limited access, and teaching techniques. Payne Stewart Golf Learning Experiences has flipped the traditional golf paradigm on its head making golf more:

62% of American families cannot afford to put their kids into youth sports…especially golf! (Source: Aspen Institute – Project Play 2019) Payne Stewart Kids Golf Foundation helps families by: 

  • Providing Golf Learning Equipment for all Payne Stewart Golf Experiences so parents do not have to buy golf equipment. 
  • Funding scholarships to locations and kids that cannot afford it.  Overall, the cost for all families is very reasonable and, in most cases, cost the same as any kids’ recreational sports program. 

Golf is not accessible for most kids, especially in inner cities! The Payne Stewart Golf Experiences brings golf to local neighborhoods through churches, YMCA’s and now BCGA! With this solution, no golf course is needed as our camps and clinics make any gymnasium or soccer field a golf learning center to teach children the fundamentals of both golf and life.

These unique programs provide a complete golf learning experience for kids ages 4-9 years old. This is the first and only golf learning program to combine fun, games-based play with modified, age-appropriate golf equipment and faith-based life skills curriculum.

Who Was
Payne Stewart?

Payne Stewart was a world-renowned golfer who claimes 11 PGA TOUR victories including three major championships behind his name. A year before his tragic passing in 1999, his family started a foundation to help kids experience the joy and peace he found through his faith and the fun he had with golf. They were especially interested in helping inner-city children around the country experience the pleasure of going to summer camp.
