Why a Youth Golf Program?
Recovery Shot knows the character building and lifelong enrichment that golf provides, and the Youth Golf Program is now giving underserved children direct access to it. Launched in March 2024, Recovery Shot’s Youth Golf Program was an immediate success. In partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Oxnard/Port Hueneme, we have been able to introduce over 60 enthusiastic youngsters ages 5-12 to the game of golf. In addition to our weekly program, Recovery Shot sponsored the children’s first ever Summer Golf Camp in July, followed by a special treat in August. Our friends at the Southern California Golf Association invited “our” youngsters to attend a Junior Golf Clinic at the Saticoy Club in Somis, CA on August 8th, taught by aspiring Amateur golfers. For the first time in their lives, these youngsters got to be on a real golf course, play on a real golf course, and their favorite thing of all, got to ride in a golf cart. It’s a joy to be able to share this wonderful game with these sweet kiddos. From BGC CEO Erin Reardon Antrim, “We have so many young students interested in trying new sports offered during camps – who would have known golf would be the most popular so far?”. Thank you, Erin, and thanks to all of you who make the Youth Golf Program possible!
