Project Golf is dedicated to advocating the virtues of golf, along with providing an introduction to the game, instruction, and improved access for all golfers seeking to become involved with the sport. Particular focus will be applied to youth golf and development and with providing access, instruction and rehabilitation to disabled veterans.
