About the Foundation

Our Goal

In golf, as in successful living, there is a unique emphasis on the gentle behavior of qualities of self- discipline, culture and etiquette, in order to conform to a higher standard of propriety and respect between human being. Golf also embodies the qualities of charity, a lenient judgment of others and the opportunity for enriching the lives of all who come in contact with the game.

Golf

...is a never-ending learning experience...
requires both discipline and patience...
is an introspective challenge... is competitive,
yet the goal is self improvement.

Golf is a good and powerful teacher. It is the primary goal of the Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation to have more people of all ages, especially youth to experience its lush, wind-swept classroom.
