Expanding the Game of Golf
The Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation and its
growing list of Company Partners from the Golf industry, that have
committed to join this important endeavor, partner with park districts,
YMCA’s, municipalities, existing golf courses, First Tee Chapters,

“feeder short courses” (three, six or nine-hole) across the country to
provide affordable golf for especially youth, families, adult beginners
and individuals with injuries & disabilities from all ethic
