FTSG for the 3rd Weekend in January
Sponsor a Junior Golfer FOR JUST $40

Sponsor_a_Junior_Golfer_with_Action

Thanks to the generous nature of our host Youth on Course (YOC) facilities. On average, it takes just under $40 per YOC Member to ensure they can play for $5 or less.  Seems like a small amount to ensure our young people learn the life lessons that only our game can provide.

Currently we have just under 1,000 YOC members in the Miami Valley and have plans to keep increasing our membership roster and host facilities.  To continue to enhance and provide this great opportunity for our young golfers we ask that you sponsor a YOC golfer for a year. 
 To help us reach our goal and make the fast, convenient, safe and tax-deductible contribution to our foundation for our Youth on Course Program. CLICK HERE

Muni_Video

The documentary film “Muni” by filmmaker Paul Bonesteel made its debut on the Golf Channel back in late October.  The film is a love letter to the game of golf, as told by the African American caddies-turned-players who built a rich and vibrant golf culture on a southern municipal course in Ashville, NC.  - Link to Watch or from your coach search Muni Golf on YouTube.

Anti-rotation exercises are great for building core and trunk stability. They are also very important for helping build rotary strength and power for the golf swing. Variations of the Pallof press are some of our favorite anti-rotation exercises
