Links Across America
This new initiative of the Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation involves……
Creating a team of Company Partners (golf course architects, golf course builders and company suppliers) from the Golf Industry to develop “feeder short courses” (three, six or nine-hole) across the country that will provide affordable golf for youth, families, adult beginners and individuals with injuries and disabilities.
Requirements for the Plan to be Successful
- First – the Wadsworth Foundation partners with communities, park districts, forest preserve districts, YMCA’s, First Tee Chapters, existing courses that have land or school districts that have the means to secure or donate the land for the Links short courses and driving range facilities.
- Second – Our Team of Company Partners, who consist of golf course architects, golf course builders and company suppliers from the Golf Industry –are committed to whenever possible contributing profit, goods or services to create the short courses at a significantly lower cost.
- Third – the plan goes beyond just the design and construction phase and provides assistance in the operational costs of the “feeder short course facilities,” the Links Team of Company Suppliers from the Golf Industry provide savings in course equipment, range equipment, computer tee time & POS software, clubhouse design, budgets and financial pro-forma’s.
- Fourth – The Wadsworth Foundation must make sure all the team Partners receive RECOGNITION for their efforts and involvement in Links Across America.Finally – the Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation will make a financial contribution to each short course project.
